== Swear Mine (customized swears)==

Certain merchants can give you a swear customized to your character. This swear is activated by typing {{boldmono|SWEAR MINE}}. A custom swear is a [[delayed service]] when the player is writing his/her own. Any character can have up to 50 custom swears.

To see some of the rules, you can see Ozias's [[/saved posts|saved post]] which details the basic rules. To summarize, the format is:

:<Your Name> <a verb> <a message>

Your name changes between You/Name/You swear at an object. The swear must start with your name.

The verb comes next. It changes based on what your name looks like. You jump, She jumps, She swears, jumping. It's the same basic verb.

The last part is the messaging. The messaging has to stay the same no matter how you're looking at it. When you write it, make sure that it makes sense with the three combinations of the first two words.

Ozias's original post on SWEAR MINEs included these instructions:
:In order to create 1st and 3rd person messages, as well as targeted messages, I'll need a first-person, 3rd person, and present participle of the same verb, and then what I call the "substance of the oath." So: "spit" "spits" "spitting" and "like a dwarf at a [[halfling]] pepper tasting" allows for:
:You spit like a dwarf at a halfling pepper tasting. Ozias spits like.... You swear at a [[grey orc]], spitting like....
:You can also have verbal swears. This one's from Juspera, cleaned up for the kids: "bellow," "bellows," "bellowing," and ""Charl's Beard!"" results in:
:You bellow, "Charl's Beard!" Juspera bellows, "[[Charl]]'s Beard!" and Swearing at a one-eared rabbit, Juspera bellows, "Charl's Beard!"

Using the SWEAR MINE verb when you do not have a customization will result in the messaging. The current targeted format is buggy and does not give the target any messaging.

Examples of SWEAR MINE messaging in the game (these exists in game, so please don't copy them):
<pre{{log2}}>
Vilhra displays a subtle hint of unhappiness, but the emotion quickly passes.

You swear at a pretty flower girl, clenching a fist menacingly while taking one slow, deliberate step forward.

You begin what promises to be a lengthy and rather bilious tirade before stopping just short of the climax, lips pursed in quiet anger.

Hubris chokes off an impolitic comment with a visible effort of will as evidenced by a now-visible angry forehead vein.

Pain unleashes a virulent torrent of vulgar invective so foul that it is surprising each word does not burst into flame upon meeting the open air.

Baldrick splutters a mostly nonsensical tirade culminating in the phrase "Big fat poopy head!"

Blackadder ruminates aloud on the proper terminology for a less-than-halfwit, ultimately deciding it's a tie between "quad-wit" and "eater of paste."

You quiver with fist-clenching anger for a moment before letting out a quiet, yet vehement "Foo!"

Additional Information

Swear Mine (customized swears)

Certain merchants can give you a custom swear, which is a swear customized to your character. This swear is activated by typing SWEAR MINE. A custom swear is a delayed service when the player is writing his/her own. Any character can have up to 50 custom swears.

Fully custom swears must follow specific guidelines due to how the swear system functions. They cannot use his/her. The verb must remain the same for all messaging (1st, 3rd, and targeted 1st/2nd/3rd). The substance of the swear must remain the same.

One example of how to format a custom swear:

1st person: glower
3rd person: glowers
Targeted: glowering
Substance of swear: while muttering something indecipherable and twitching violently with anger.

Examples utilizing the above:

1st person: You glower while muttering something indecipherable and twitching violently with anger.
3rd person: Quilic glowers while muttering something indecipherable and twitching violently with anger.
Targeted 1st: You swear at (target), glowering while muttering something indecipherable and twitching violently with anger.
Targeted 2nd: Quilic swears at (you), glowering while muttering something indecipherable and twitching violently with anger.
Targeted 3rd: Quilic swears at (target), glowering while muttering something indecipherable and twitching violently with anger.

In the example above, the substance of the swear doesn't change in any of the messaging; it just gets slapped on after the verb. The example also does not use his/her at all. All custom swears must fall within these guidelines.

Examples of SWEAR MINE messaging include the following from options available at Rumor Woods: 

Person chuffs about idiots trying to cram square pegs into round holes.

Person issues a quiet curse, insisting that some people are more useless than a ring gear load bolt.

Person raises an angry fist to the sky and rails at the waste of spilled blood.

Person expounds upon all the unflattering features that accosts the senses, ending with "... No better than a weather-bitten harpy!"

Person unflatteringly laments upon the capricious nature of the elements, the sky, and the very weather that has destroyed the mood.

Person blurts out, "Rassa frassa frazzle git."

Additional examples of pre-written custom swears can be viewed in the character customizations category.

Using the SWEAR MINE verb when you do not have a customization will result in its own messaging. You can also use SWEAR NONE to get this messaging. The current targeted format is buggy and does not give the target any messaging. 

You ponder, but can't think of anything original to say.
Person pauses, a thoughtful expression on his face.
