beg

Purpose: fall to your knees and beg an individual, thing, or room.
Synonyms: none

SYNTAX EXAMPLES
1. beg 1. beg
2. beg <thing> 2. beg statue
3. beg <thing> <qualifier> 3. beg statue red
4. beg <qualifier> <thing> 4. beg red statue
5. beg <n>.<thing> 5. beg 2.statue

USE:

  1. Use form one to fall to your knees and beg.
  2. Use form two when there's no possible ambiguity. In the example, there's only one statue present.
  3. Use form three or four when more information is needed to interpret the command - that is, there's more than one possible target by the same name to which the command could be applied. In the example, there's a blue statue, a red statue, etc.
  4. Use form three or four when more information is needed to interpret the command - that is, there's more than one possible target by the same name to which the command could be applied. In the example, there's a blue statue, a red statue, etc.
  5. Use form five when there are many instances of <target> present, and you want to beg one of them in particular.

As is typical of most TriadCity commands, Beg 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 "beg box" will refer to the one in the room, not your inventory. You'd need to use "beg 2.box" for the latter.

Unlike certain other social commands, Beg cannot be parameterized.

"... postmodernist fiction also reflects the disruption of [the] landscape by twentieth-century war. War in our century has forced us to rethink the received categories of space, conceptual as well as geographical space; it has taught us to think in terms of zone. The lexicon of war is one of the sources of the term "zone," and certainly the postmodernists have borrowed many of the characteristics of their zone from the zones of military discourse - the war zone, the occupied zone, the demilitarized zone."
