give

give <player>=<number>

The give command gives the named player the listed number of pennies from your supply. Giving a player pennies will not let them have over 10,000.

Wizards do not affect thier total by giving pennies. Wizards may also give pennies to an object, raising it's value.

Usage:

give <player>=<number>

<player> - name of a player to transfer pennies to. Wizards may transfer pennies to objects.

<number> - the number of pennies to give.

Description:

The give command transfers pennies from your supply to another player's supply. Players can not easily have more than 10,000, and the give command will not put someone's total over that amount.

A wizard can give pennies to an object, increasing it's value. When a wizard gives pennies to an object or a player, thier total is not affected. Wizards may take pennies away by using a negative number.

Example:

When Fred issues this command: give Loki=100 Fred will see: You give 100 pennies to Loki. Loki will see: Fred gives you 100 pennies. No one else in the room will recieve any message.

Results:

The give command displays a message indicating success or failure. On a success, the player who recieves the pennies will also be notified. The balance of pennies for the player giving and player or object recieving will be updated appropriately.

Errors:

You must specify a positive number of pennies.

The server displays this message if you give zero pennies, or some amount of pennies that is not a number.

That player dosen't need that many pennies!

This is displayed if you give someone enough pennies so that they will have more than 10,000.

Try using the "rob" command.

This message is displayed if you try and give someone a negative number of pennies, if you are not a wizard. Wizards can give negative amounts.

You can only give to other players.

This is displayed if you are not a wizard, and you try to give pennies to something that is not a player. Wizards can give pennies to objects.

Give to whom?

The server displays this message if you give pennies to someone who is not a player, or not in the room with you

I don't know who you mean!

This message is displayed if the name of the player to whom pennies are to be given to is ambiguous.
