USE:
- Use form one to cross your arms indiscriminately, for instance, at the situation in general.
- Use form two when there's no possible ambiguity. In the example, there's only one bottle present.
- Use form three when there are many instances of <thing> present, and you want to cross your arms at one of them in particular.
- Use forms four through eight to add a modifier, typically an intensifying adverb, to the verb.
- Use forms four through eight to add a modifier, typically an intensifying adverb, to the verb.
- Use forms four through eight to add a modifier, typically an intensifying adverb, to the verb.
- Use forms four through eight to add a modifier, typically an intensifying adverb, to the verb.
- Use forms four through eight to add a modifier, typically an intensifying adverb, to the verb.
As is typical of most TriadCity commands, Armcross searches for <thing>
in a specific order, starting with the room you're in, then your worn or wielded equipment,
then your inventory. So, if there's a box in the room, and a box in your inventory, the command
"armcross box" will refer to the one in the room, not your inventory. You'd need to use
"armcross 2.box" for the latter.
Armcross
can be modified with an arbitrary word of your choice.
Usually you'll use an intensifying adverb as shown in the examples
above. Note that
Armcross
does not use this modifier as a search specifier when
looking for <thing>. Instead
Armcross
displays this modifier via the Game channel.
Thus you can "armcross impatiently", "armcross defensively",
and so on. You can also "armcross 18373649" or "armcross toothpaste-like",
so, please don't. It's up to you to get the syntax right.

"[The] dominant of postmodernist fiction is ontological. That is, postmodernist fiction deploys strategies which engage and foreground questions like ... "Which world is this? What is to be done in it? Which of my selves is to do it?" Other typical postmodernist questions bear either on the ontology of the literary text itself or on the ontology of the world which it projects, for instance: What is a world?; What kinds of worlds are there, how are they constituted, and how do they differ?; What happens when different kinds of worlds are placed in confrontation, or when boundaries between worlds are violated?; What is the mode of existence of a text, and what is the mode of existence of the world (or worlds) it projects?; How is a projected world structured? And so on."
