holler
Syntax: holler Syntax: holler <text> Syntax: holler *social Holler is mostly like gossip, except that it cannot be turned off. Everybody will hear you, except if they are in special sound proof areas. This power comes at a cost -- every holler costs 20 movement points. When you run out of movements -- no hollering. Using holler without arguments shows you the previous traffic on the channel. Holler with an argument broadcasts that argument to everybody on the channel. If your text begins with an asterisk followed immediately by the name of a social, the text from the social is inserted and yelled instead (please note that targetting for socials does not work there, also socials via holler do not get recorded into the channel history). There is no way to turn the holler channel off. Best you can do is find a sound proof area and hide there. While waiting for the end of the world there, you can check which other channels you are listening to with TOGGLE. Examples: > holler REPENT YOUR SINS FOR ARMAGEDDON IS NEAR! > holler *freak > holler
