Badly documented/unknown commands?

So... while messing around with my Gelan hair, I found out "double" exists.

Awesome command!

Also I only learned "Track" exists after seeing another player use it.

"v mail" is a command I learned when someone nemntioned it on discord.

"buy tickets for team" another one that I took a while to learn, and I rarely see newbies using it.


So... any other commands I should know? And why "double" is not on "help topics" in first place?

Can't say I really remember but I would look up quest commands for both fixes and streamlining new commands.

double bounce while yodel
You bounce around uncontrollably while yodelling a merry tune.
Awesome! I didn't know it existed either. Show of hands wizards and admins, how many knew of this command?!

I had to check what the 'double' command was. Then I remembered it :)

Horrible exploit! Must be fixed!
I mean people can now yodel while gaining XP?!?!?

I knew about it .. but I think it only works IF you have your eyes washed in Gelan? (or maybe I'm wrong)

The issue here is that supposedly deleted emotes like "grope" still work if you use them inside a double.

maybe add double to <help topics>, add buy tickets for team to <help team>. <help track> already exists. So does <help double> --- but add it to <help topics>! I've read thru all all the files on the list but must have learned <double> in Gelan, although I never tried it until I learned I could use it to grope. Guessing that won't be possible for much longer.


and speaking of help files (total side note, sorry), maybe a <help glow> or something. Some days it feels like 90% of ntell is "why do I lose stuff when I quit" / "how can I make my gear save" / etc. Glowing items are covered in <help armageddon> but it's not clear that the same rules apply when you quit.

I've been using double quite a bit recently. Also, some emotes are specifically edited as they pass through double (see <dance> and <sing>).

Oh, and you CAN use adverbs as well. There is a natural alias for double, which is "2".
