Spoof

spoof - A roleplaying command to echo arbitrary text to the entire room.

Along with say and pose, this is one of the main roleplaying commands. Unlike the other commands, this does not automatically include your name in the text seen by other players, allowing for maximum flexibility in expressing your actions and other events that happen.

Options

When set, these options will apply to all following spoofs.

spoof

On its own, it provides the in-game help menu

spoof #[!]parens

Enable (or disable with the '!') showing all spoof messages you receive from others in parentheses to aid in identifying them from server-generated messages. Note that any spoofs that start with another player's name, whether they are present or not, will always be displayed this way, and several common words are used as names.

spoof #custom [<start> <end>]

Replace the standard parentheses with custom characters. If called without parameters, it resets to the default characters.

spoof #[!]always

Similar to the #parens option, this causes all of your spoof messages to appear in parentheses.

spoof #[!]ignore

Prevent the display of all spoof messages (or re-enable with '!'). This also prevents you using the spoof command yourself.

spoof #[!]show

Show the originating player's name as a prefix to each spoof message so you can tell who they came from.

spoof #modes

Show your current parens/always/ignore/custom settings.

Examples

Using the example of: spoof A teapot falls from the shelf, smashing as it hits the ground, it will appear as:

Option enabled	Displayed Result
none	A teapot falls from the shelf, smashing as it hits the ground
#parens	( A teapot falls from the shelf, smashing as it hits the ground )
#parens and #custom [-- --]	[-- A teapot falls from the shelf, smashing as it hits the ground --]
#show	[Judith(#12345)]: A teapot falls from the shelf, smashing as it hits the ground
