listen Purpose: listen to an individual, thing, or the room in general. Synonyms: none SYNTAX EXAMPLES 1. listen 1. listen 2. listen <thing> 2. listen statue 3. listen <thing>.<specifier> 3. listen statue small 4. listen <specifier>.<thing> 4. listen small statue 5. listen <n>.<thing> 5. listen 2.statue USE: Use form one when you want to listen to the room you're currently in. Use form two when there's no possible ambiguity. In the example, there's only one statue in the current room. Use form three or four when more information is needed to interpret the command - that is, there's more than one possible item by the same name to which the command could be applied. In the example, there's a small statue, a large statue, etc. Use form three or four when more information is needed to interpret the command - that is, there's more than one possible item by the same name to which the command could be applied. In the example, there's a small statue, a large statue, etc. Use form five when there are many instances of <thing> present, and you want to listen to one of them in particular. As is true of most TriadCity commands, Listen 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 statue in the room, and a statue in your inventory, the command "listen statue" will cause you to listen to the one in the room, not your inventory. You'd need to use "listen 2.statue" for the latter. Not every item is necessarily something you can listen to. And, there are many conditions which could prevent you from listening to a particular thing: the room could be too loud, you could be deafened, etc. The are skills which will improve your ability to hear things. As with all commands, the Game Channel will record the outcome of your action.     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 ?
