The game won't accept it when I forget that I'm chatting in-Glitch and type in "/dork" when I've said something silly . . . says it's an unknown command ;)
In another game I play the commands are /wave /clap /dance etc etc......
I did it on accident one day in Glitch and it said unknown command. So it did make me wonder if there were actually commands using the slash /.
Actually, I did ask a few devs, and, as it turns out, "normal" glitchen (i.e. NOT guides/staff) only get the "/who" command.
However, I know from one of the devs that they (devs) get a variety of commands for teleporting. How interesting! (Idk how big the list is, but I know there are at least two ways to TP). Hope that helps!
I'd like a /what command, to show the same text that is on the loading screen as summary of what is on that area. Even a /summary or /featuring (to match the header of the new location pages) would do well.
I like your idea, Zimzat. Very nice, should put that on the ideas forum. I know I get distracted and miss that text sometimes, screen loads too fast other times.
Avariella's comment reminds me of MUDs. 'goto' and 'tele' and 'summon' and probably a whole host of other variations depending on which lib you were using... I had a nifty summon command that would "look" like a demon came into the room, grabbed the player, and left with them (bringing them to me, ofc).
Coincidentally I was trying /who last night, I really want to be able to check locations that I am NOT in, and I'd especially like to know the number of Glitchen in an area I'm not in.
I really like Zimat's idea of /what (translated into "what's here on this street") too.
I have a powerful computer and a very fast internet connection and unfortunately the near instant rapid glance I get of the street creatures and features isn't long enough to even start to digest it with my (apparently) much slower brain.
Snarkle that would be awesome! Like if we could do /who name of street and it could tell us all the people on that street. Would be a great way of finding other large groups of Gltiches.
Oh interesting! I did wonder about this myself as I've sometimes used / and then a phrase after it like, /knew you were joking, and of course it says "unknown command". :p
