SYNTAX EXAMPLES
1. wiggle 1. wiggle
2. wiggle <thing> 2. wiggle statue

USE:

  1. Use form one to wiggle indiscriminately, for instance to the room in general.
  2. Use form two when there's no possible ambiguity. In the example, there's only one statue present.
  3. Use form three when there are many instances of <thing> present, and you want to wiggle at one of them in particular.
  4. Use forms four through eight to add a modifier, typically an intensifying adverb, to the verb.
  5. Use forms four through eight to add a modifier, typically an intensifying adverb, to the verb.
  6. Use forms four through eight to add a modifier, typically an intensifying adverb, to the verb.
  7. Use forms four through eight to add a modifier, typically an intensifying adverb, to the verb.
  8. Use forms four through eight to add a modifier, typically an intensifying adverb, to the verb.

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

Wiggle 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 Wiggle does not use this modifier as a search specifier when looking for <thing>. Instead Wiggle displays this modifier via the Game channel. Thus you can "wiggle alluringly", "wiggle sarcastically,", and so on. You can also "wiggle 18373649" or "wiggle toothpaste-like", so, please don't. It's up to you to get the syntax right.

"[...] the computer as literary agent ultimately points beyond narrative and toward ergotic modes -- dialogic forms of improvisation and free play between the cyborgs that today's literate computer users (and their programs) have become. What we need in order to achieve this is not an automated playwright or narrator but simulated worlds with emergent intrigants, interesting enough to make real people want to spend time and creative energy there."
