3.2 Channels
You can imagine channels are like multi-person group chats. By using them, you can speak to whoever is listening to them. The various channels are listed below, along with commands pertaining to them. If you wish to configure the channel colours, type CONFIG COLOUR, and instructions will be provided. Note that the rules of HELP LANGUAGERULES apply to _all_ channels, except for clan channels. In addition, most channels are considered IC (in-character) and should be treated as such. Channels are compatible with expressiveness (as detailed under HELP EXPRESSIVENESS), allowing you to add an optional adverb to your speech string, as in the following example: newbie *cheerfully You can use PORTALS to escape! (Newbie): Alecto says cheerfully, "You can use PORTALS to escape!" Guild Channel ------------- Used to discuss guild business, chat with your guildmates, and so on. GTON : Turn your guild channel on. GTOFF : Turn your guild channel off. GT <whatever> : Say <whatever> on your guild channel. GTELLS [FULL] : Shows the past 20 comments said on channel. City Channel ------------ Used to discuss city business, chat with fellow citizens, etc. CTON : Turn your city channel on. CTOFF : Turn your city channel off. CT <whatever> : Say <whatever> on your city channel. CTELLS [FULL] : Shows the past 20 comments said on channel. CNTON : Turn your city's novice channel on.
