ask Purpose: ask a question of a character or thing. Synonyms: none SYNTAX EXAMPLES 1. ask <who> <what> 1. ask Poobah where are you? USE: Use Ask when you want to send a question to a particular character. Although use of the Ask command is identical to that of the Tell command, Ask is considered more polite when asking questions, because it allows players who don't want to be interrupted by questions to turn off their Ask Channel. The Ask command is akin to telepathy. Ask is completely independent of the laws of RL physics: it doesn't matter where the character is you send your Ask to: if they're listening, they'll hear you anywhere. We're not sure we're going to leave it this way, so enjoy it for now! Note that certain NPCs require the Ask command, if you wish to converse with them. Tiresias is one example.     Complete command reference: Accept ACL Actuate AFK Alias Amazed Applaud Apprentice Armcross ArtistSpiff Ask Astonished Astounded Auction Backstab Baffled Balance Bandage Barf Bash Bashful Beckon Beg Belch Beseech Bid Birdflip Bite Blink Blubber Blush BodyPierce Bored Bounce Bow BSpiff Bug BuilderSpiff Bump Burp Bye C Cackle CartographerSpiff Chat Checkin Checkout Cheer Chop Chortle Chuckle Claw Close Club CodeWarriorSpiff ComedianSpiff Compose Con Concerned Confused Congrat Congrats Consider Conversions Cough Crawl Cry CSpiff Curious Curtsey Cut CWSpiff D Dance Date Deposit Description DiagnoseIllness Disarm Disbelieve Disgusted Donate Down Drag DrawIllness DrawIntoxication DrawMagicCircle DrawParalysis Drink Drool Drop E East Eat Ec Echo Elbow Embarrassed Embrace Empty Energize EnergyDrain EnergySteal Entreat Eq Equipment Ex Exits Eyeroll Facebook Fart FB Fill Flee Flirt Flourish Follow Followers Fondle FootTap Frown Frustrated Fume Gasp Gaze Genuflect Get Giggle Give Glance Glare Glower Go Grab Grat Grats Gratuity Grimace Grin Groan Group Grovel Growl Guffaw H HandClap Harm Heal Heave Heir Help Hiccup HiddenEnergyDrain HiddenEnergySteal HiddenHarm Hide Highfive Hit Hold Holler Howl Hug Hurl I Ignore Implore Inv Inventory Junk Kills Kiss Kneel Knife Knock L Laugh Lay Leader Lean Learn List Listen Lock Lockpick Logoff Logout LOL Look Mail Manicure Map MCircle MeatPuppet Med Meditate Message Mock Move N Nod North Nudge Nuzzle O OOC Open P Page Pant Pat Peek Pick Pierce PlayRoulette PlaySlot Point Ponder Pound Pour Practice Press Problem Prostrate Puke Push Put Quake Quit RClean Read Recycle Remove RemoveParalysis Rent Report ReporterSpiff Rescue Rest Return Revive Reward RitualClean Roles Roll S Sacrifice Say Scowl Scream Seethe Sell Shackle Shiver Shoot Shout Shove Shrug Shudder Sigh Sing Sit Skills Slash Sleep Smell Smile Snarl Sneak Sneer Sneeze Snicker Snort Sob South Spear Spew Spit Spock Squirm Stab Stand Stare Steal Sting Stretch Stroke Survey Tag Taste Tattoos Taunt Teach TelevisionWriterSpiff Tell Think Thrash Time Tired Title Touch Track Transfer Trash Tremble Trip TVWSpiff U Ungroup Unlock Up Uptime Value W Wake Wanted Wave Wear Weekday Weep West Whack Whimper Whip Whisper Who Wield Wiggle Will Wince Wink Withdraw Workout Worldstats Wriggle Write Yawn Yell Yelp ?

"It is important to remember that any abstract story system ultimately refers to the sorrows and pleasures of human life and that the story of any event depends heavily on who is doing the telling. A storytelling system that further calcifies the distortions of stereotypical thinking would be as destructive as the most bigoted and bloodthirsty bard. We humans already do enough mechanical thinking without enlisting machines to help us." -- Janet H. Murray, Hamlet on the Holodeck: The Future of Narrative in Cyberspace (info)
