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.
