Menu

To add a new friend:   BEFRIEND {NAME} {DEMEANOR}

To remove a friend:    BEFRIEND CLEAR {NAME | NUMBER}
To remove all friends: BEFRIEND CLEAR ALL
To see your current friends: BEFRIEND LIST

Usage

BEFRIEND

Adding a friend (or enemy) is as easy as typing BEFRIEND (name) (demeanor). By default, befriending another character will do so as friendly. This will also override any default demeanor settings for that character's race or profession.

FIND

Locating a friend is done by typing BEFRIEND FIND (name). This will only work if the person being located maintains a friendly or warm demeanor towards the one locating.

CLEAR

If a befriend list is getting too long, a character has fallen out of favor with one or several friends, or an enemy is considered more of a nuisance than an enemy, they can be removed with BEFRIEND CLEAR (name/number). BEFRIEND CLEAR ALL can be used to completely clear the list in one sweep.

LIST

BEFRIEND LIST is used to pull up the entire list of available friends, logged or not. If the one on the list maintains a friendly or warm demeanor towards the one pulling up the list, and is logged in, it will display the general area where a friend can be found. It functionally works the same was as BEFRIEND LOCATE (name).

Example

>befr list
