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 beckon to 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. As is typical of most TriadCity commands, Beckon 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 "beckon box" will refer to the one in the room, not your inventory. You'd need to use "beckon 2.box" for the latter. Beckon 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 Beckon does not use this modifier as a search specifier when looking for <thing>. Instead Beckon displays this modifier via the Game channel. Thus you can "beckon impatiently", "beckon urgently", and so on. You can also "beckon 18373649" or "beckon toothpaste-like", so, please don't. It's up to you to get the syntax right.     Complete command reference: Accept ACL Actuate AFK Alias Amazed Applaud Apprentice Armcross ArtistSpiff Ask Astonished Astounded Auction Avoid 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 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 Facepalm 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 Houses Howl Hug Hurl I Ignore Implore Inv Inventory Jailtime Junk Kills Kiss Kneel Knife Knock L Laugh Lay Leader Lean Learn Leer List Listen Lock Lockpick Logoff Logout LOL Look Manicure Map MCircle MeatPuppet Med Meditate Mock Move N Nod North Nudge Nuzzle O OOC Open P Page Pant Pat Peek Pick Pierce PlayRoulette PlaySlot Point Poke 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 RewardPoints RitualClean Roles Roll RP S Sacrifice Say Scowl Scream Seethe Sell SellHouse 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 Unavoid 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 ?

"I will formulate ... a general thesis about modernist fiction: the dominant of modernist fiction is epistemological. That is, modernist fiction deploys strategies which engage and foreground questions such as ... "How can I interpert this world of which I am a part? And what am I in it?" Other typical modernist questions might be added: What is there to be known?; Who knows it?; How do they know it, and with what degree of certainty?; How is knowledge transmitted from one knower to another, and with what degree of reliability?; How does the object of knowledge change as it passes from knower to knower?; What are the limits of knowledge? And so on." --Brian McHale, Postmodernist Fiction (info)
