| .:. unarmed |
Combat is turn based. Fighters take turns, and on your turn you choose one action. When someone attacks you, you get a chance to defend. If you take too long, the game picks an action for you. You can fight NPCs as well as other players, and they will fight back. Fighting another player is covered by policy PK. Syntax: > slash <target> [aim] > thrust <target> [aim] > unarmed <target> [aim] Attack. The command names the kind of blow, and the game picks one of your known forms of that kind. The optional aim is head, body (or torso, chest), a side and limb such as right_arm, left_hand, left_leg or right_foot, or the name of a bodypart, which you can shorten. Use an underscore in place of a space. > parry [attacker] > dodge [attacker] Defend against the person attacking you. When you are defending, you can leave the name off. You have to deal with that attack before you can turn on anyone else. > pass Skip your turn. wait and flourish currently do the same thing. > flee Try to get away from the fight. See help flee. > turn get <object> Plain get is blocked while you fight. This spends your turn picking up one loose object from the room. Settings: > autocombat Lets the game choose your attacks and defenses for you. To avoid just one form while keeping automatic choices, use disable; see help disable. > aggressiveness <mode> Sets how boldly you fight, from defensive to reckless. > fthru <practice/normal/extreme> Sets how hard you swing. > wimpy <hit points> Makes you try to flee when your hit points drop below that number. > subdue Toggles whether a deadly blow against another player knocks them out instead of killing them. > combat speed <number> Sets how many seconds you get to act on your turn. Very short times are refused. Example: > slash Sabin right_hand Aiming at an area like right_hand makes the game pick a part within it, such as the hand or a finger. The attack line names the part it picked. If the game tells you your motions feel predictable, you have been repeating the same kind of blow. Mix it up. You can add your own description to an attack with a colon, see help combat descriptions. See also: Autocombat, Aggressiveness, Followthru, Wimpy, Subdue, AutoRewield |

| .:. UNBAN |
Immortals Only These commands prevent anyone from a site with a hostname containing the site substring from logging in to the game. You may ban a site to ALL, NEW or SELECT players. Banning a site to NEW players prevents any new players from registering. Banning a site to ALL players disallows ANY connections from that site. Banning a site selectively allows only players with site-ok flags to log in from that site. Ban with no argument returns a list of currently banned sites. Unban removes the ban. ban [<'ALL' | 'NEW' | 'SELECT'> <site>] unban <site> > ban all pc239.ub1.lu.se > unban pc239.ub1.lu.se |

| .:. UNFINISHED |
The task boards are where coders and builders keep their work lists. Each one is a board of its own: ctasks for coding tasks, bdtasks for building tasks. A task may be broken into subtasks, handed to a person, and marked Unfinished, Pending or Finished as it goes. These are staff boards. Coders open ctasks, builders open bdtasks, and an immortal may use either one. Anyone else is turned away: > Only coders may use this. > Only builders may use this. Syntax: > ctasks list > ctasks show [<task> [<subtask>]] > ctasks new <title> > ctasks subtask <task> <title> > ctasks edit <task> [<subtask>] > ctasks stats <task> [<subtask>] > ctasks status <task> <subtask> <new status> > ctasks assign <task> <subtask> <name> > ctasks delete <task> [<subtask>] bdtasks takes the same subcommands for the builder board. Example: > ctasks list > ctasks new Charts for the Sea Folk docks > ctasks subtask 6 Need a helm room > ctasks show 6 > ctasks assign 6 1 Loth > ctasks status 6 1 finished Task numbers come from the list. This example uses task six and its first subtask; use the actual numbers from your board. ctasks with no subcommand prints the whole usage list. list names every task on the board, with a star beside the ones that still have subtasks left undone. show with no number prints that list again minus the tasks whose subtasks are all finished; with a number it reads one task and tells you how many of its subtasks are still incomplete, and a second number reads a single subtask of it. A new task asks you to describe it, ending with two at-signs alone on a line. You may edit a task you posted or one assigned to you. Ordinarily, you may only remove a task you posted that has no subtasks yet. An immortal whose trust is at least as high as the author's can override that removal restriction. Your own assignments: > unfinished Unfinished counts the tasks on either board that are assigned to you and not yet done, and it runs by itself when you log in, so an open assignment will find you. Someone outside the Coder and Builder multiguilds is simply told there is nothing waiting for them. Public talk about code projects does not happen here. That is the project board, open to players as well as staff: help PROJ SHOW, and Code for where to raise a project question as a player.

| .:. UNGROUP |
A group lets you and your companions keep an eye on one another's condition, talk among yourselves with gsay or gtell, and share money with split. Following someone does not put you in their group by itself: the leader has to add you with group. Syntax: > group > group <name> > group all > gsay <message> > gtell <message> > ungroup > ungroup <name> Entering group with no argument shows the status of your group: who is in it and how their life and endurance are holding up. Group with a name adds someone who is following you, or removes them again if they are already in; use your own name to include yourself. Group all adds you and everyone currently following you in one go. Only the leader, the person being followed, can add people, and someone who has followers of their own cannot be added. When a group is formed, gsay or gtell can be used to talk only to the other members of the group, wherever in the game they are. The leader can type ungroup with no name to disband the group entirely, or ungroup with a name to remove one member who is in the room, who then also stops following. If you are a member and want to leave, follow yourself or type follow self. If the leader quits the game, everyone stops following and the group is over; a member who quits simply drops out of it. Example: If Loth is following you: > group all > gsay Let us rest here before we go on. > ungroup loth See also: Follow, Split, Report, Channels |

| .:. UNREAD |
This command allows you to see which boards have posts that you have not yet read. This is convenient if you are logged in for a long period of time and want to see if there are new posts without reading each and every individual board. Simply type unread and you will either get a list of boards you have unread posts on, or it will tell you that you have no unread posts at this time. See Also: Proj Show, Glboard, Templates |
| :: Beginning |
| .:. UNSUBDUE |
Subdue is a toggle for fights you mean to end without a death. When it is on, a blow that would kill your opponent knocks them out and captures them instead, whether they are a player or an NPC. A player who tries to flee at their wimpy level may be caught the same way. A captive follows their captor. They cannot walk away, change who they follow, attack, sit, rest or quit, and though gentler weaves remain theirs to try, they cannot start a violent weave. Being captured also takes a channeler out of any circle they were part of. A captive goes free when their captor releases them with unsubdue or strays from their side, or when either of them is attacked. Otherwise the capture wears off after a while, sooner if they were taken unhurt. A wounded captive also goes free on recovering fully, but keeps following their captor until they choose to stop. Syntax: > subdue Switches subdue on or off, and tells you which. > turn surrender Offers to stop fighting. An opponent can take you up on it with turn acceptsurrender <name>, which ends the fight and captures you. Offering surrender sets aside any weave you were still gathering, and an enemy who attacks you anyway simply ignores the offer. > unsubdue <name> Releases someone you have captured. Example: > subdue You will now subdue in fights. Duren wants Loth alive, so he turns subdue on before their duel. His last blow captures Loth instead of killing him, and Loth follows him until Duren releases him. See also: Combat, Death, Wimpy, Flee, Leash |

| .:. UP |
In order to move from place to place on this MUD there are ten directions you need to be very familiar with: UP, DOWN, EAST, WEST, NORTH, SOUTH, and the four diagonals NORTHEAST, NORTHWEST, SOUTHEAST and SOUTHWEST. These will take you in whichever direction you want, assuming you are standing and there is an exit that way from the room you are currently in. All of them can be abbreviated to: n, s, e, w, u, d, ne, nw, se, sw. The exits command spells out every exit, and the autoexit line shows them with those short forms. Syntax: > north > northeast Example: > ne See also: Exits, Autoexit, Look |

| .:. UPDATES |
The update command is designed to give players an IC output based on what rumours and news circulate around any specific region or city; that should only be used as In Character information, however, if your character would be living, travelling near, or have contacts in these places. These news and rumours are being maintained by both Immortals and Guildleaders, so if you have something to be added there, please notify one of the above. The way to use update is easy: First type "update". You will get a list of all listed locations that are being maintained by players, along with the number of current entries in each category and each place. If you wish to see specifics for a certain category, type "update <location>" - for example, "update cairhien". You will then get a list of all recent rumours and news in that region, divided into these two categories, and each will be followed by a short title describing what the word is about, and a keyword which you can use to read the entire thing. Therefore, if you wish to read a rumour in Cairhien with the keyword "celebration", you simply type "update cairhien celebration" to see its full text. The game has been in progress for years, so there is a lot of history to catch up on. The rumours and news here tell you what is happening ICly right now in each region, and the timeline command gives an overview of the roleplaying history of A Moment in Tyme (help timeline). Example: update cairhien celebration See also: icedit. |
