The ACTION command is used to perform freeform acts.

Syntax

  • ACTION <ACT>
(<Person> <act>)
  • ACTION 'S <ACT>
(<Person>'s <act>)
  • ACTION , <ACT>
(<Person>, <act>)

Use

This command is most often used to accomplish things either not covered by other commands, or to give extra detail.

As per Simutronics policy, this command should not be used to bypass situations where the character has been rendered unable to talk[1]

Ettiquette

It is considered poor roleplaying for this command to be used to portray abilities, powers, or features not commonly associated with the character's race or class.

It is considered rude to use this command to bypass commands normally blocked by DEMEANOR.

This command should never be used to "fake" any other character's reaction. All actions created by this verb should relate to the acting character or non-entities such as environment.
