To use the possessive form of the name or noun, use @' (not @'s, as @' will automatically include the 's'). The target will see 'your'.\n # characters will be replaced with a possessive pronoun (his/her/its), as appropriate for the gender of the target. The target will see 'your'.\n % characters will be replaced with an object pronoun (him/her/it), as appropriate for the gender of the target. The target will see 'you'.\n\n\nNote that these characters will only be replaced if they appear before a space, at the end of your action, or immediately before a period (.), question mark (?), exclamation point (!), semi-colon (;), or comma (,).\n\nExample:\n If you were to enter the following command:\n act ::naos waves to @ before blowing a kiss in # direction and winking at %!\n You would see:\n (XXXX waves to Naos before blowing a kiss in his direction and winking at him!)\n Naos would see:\n (XXXX waves to you before blowing a kiss in your direction and winking at you!)\n\n Everyone else in the room will see what you see!</pre>\n |
