Use form two when there's no possible ambiguity. In the example, there's only one statue present. Use form three when there are many instances of <thing> present, and you want to shrug 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, Shrug 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 "shrug box" will refer to the one in the room, not your inventory. You'd need to use "shrug 2.box" for the latter. Shrug 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 Shrug does not use this modifier as a search specifier when looking for <thing>. Instead Shrug displays this modifier via the Game channel. Thus you can "shrug good-naturedly", "shrug sarcastically,", and so on. You can also "shrug 18373649" or "shrug 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 ?

"Decades before the invention of the motion picture camera, the prose fiction of the nineteenth century began to experiment with filmic techniques. We can catch glimpses of the coming cinema in Emily Bronte's complex use of flashback, in Dickens' crosscuts between intersecting stories, and in Tolstoy's battlefield panoramas that dissolve into close-up vignettes of a single soldier. Though still bound to the printed page, storytellers were already striving toward juxtapositions that were easier to manage with images than with words." -- Janet H. Murray, Hamlet on the Holodeck: The Future of Narrative in Cyberspace (info)
