help for built-in commands and +help for commands unique to Nevermore Darkness.
To say things in the room you're in:
say <type statement here>.
This will display as:
Joe says "I can do it!"
Now you can talk to people an ask any questions you might have! The OOC nexus is the unofficial help center for everything; go ahead and ask questions as you have them!
To pose (or make an action) in the room you're in:
:<type pose here>
This will display as:
Joe types this!
To see who is online and how many people are online:
who or +who
Be forewarned that there's usually 200-300 people online, so it's a long list.
To see where people are to be found on the grid in a list of rooms:
+where
To see what channels are out there to sign up for:
http://nevermore.mechanipus.com/wiki/Channel_List
For the commands you need to start talking in channels:
help comsys
To see which staff members are online:
+staff
To send a private message to someone (for instance if you need help):
page playername=<type message here> will send the message 'message here' to player 'playername'. You can include multiple players if you want to, too. Just separate each name with a space, then finish with the equals sign and the message.
You can also page the last person you paged with just page <type message here> or p <type message here> or pa <type message here> if you want to leave off the playername= part.
Keep in mind that if you include a = in the message you MUST start it with page playername=<message here> or it will break the page and send it to all of the players it can find that start with the possible matches to the words post the equivalent sign. This can end up with some comical results, but is entirely avoidable!
To reply to the last person that paged you just use rp <type message here>
To read the in game bulletin boards:
+bbread to see the general board list, +bbread number (where number is an actual number, like 1) to see the posts on that number bulletin board, and +bbread number1/number2 where number1 and number2 are actual numbers to read a particular post with number number2 on board number number1. So +bbread 1/5 will display post 5 on board number 1 (which happens to be the Announcements board).
To read your mail:
@mail to see your inbox, if you have any messages. @mail <number> to read that number(ed) message, where number is an actual number, like 1.
For doing other things with mail, like sending it:
See help @mail and help mail-sending and mail-sending2 for detailed information. We recommend using @mail/quick for sending messages, it seems generally easier.
To get a wiki account, for example to set up your character's wiki page while you wait for character approval:
+req/web Wiki account=Hi, I'd like an account on the wiki, here's my e-mail address and the login I would like, and here's a backup login name if that one is taken.

To see your character sheet:
+sheet
To show everyone in the room you have a thing (or don't have it) on your character sheet:
+prove <type stat name> where stat is the stat you'd like to show.
To show a specific person that you have a thing (or don't have it) on your character sheet:
+prove <type stat name> to <character name> where stat is the stat you'd like to show. If the character you're proving to is not in the room with you place an * in front of their name.
To see census information on characters in the game:
+census thing where thing can be: clan, auspice, path, lineage, seeming, breed, threshold, covenant, tribe, order, refinement, court, accord, profession, archetype, pack, cabal, throng, motley, band, cell, krewe, bloodline, lodge, legacy, entitlement, conspiracy, compact, blood-potency, primal-urge, gnosis, azoth, wyrd, feral-heart, psyche, humanity, harmony, wisdom, clarity, morality, synergy, aspect, kith, species, freehold, tier, vice, virtue, template, xp, family, chi, wisdom, clutch, coterie, or primary-vice.
To spend and regain things like willpower, mana, blood, and so on:
See +help spend.
If you just want to spend one point, you can use +spend willpower for <enter reason here> or blood or mana or glamour what have you.
To regain use +regain blood or other pool instead of blood with the exception of willpower, which needs the kind of regain specified. For willpower use +regain willpower=rest or vice or virtue instead of rest along with the reason for the vice or virtue indulgence, like this: +regain willpower=virtue for reasonforvirtuesatisfactionhere. Note that you just write vice or virtue, not the actual vice or virtue like envy or charity.
To take or heal health damage:
See +help health
To spend XP:
See +help XP for syntax and information. Don't forget to spend your 20 starting XP when you create a new character!
To shift form (for instance, if you're playing a shapeshifter of some stripe):
See +help shift for syntax and information.
To describe what you look like when people look at you:
&desc me=Your description here
To end lines in something you'd like to make into paragraphs, like if you want to start a new paragraph in your description or in a pose:
Use %r to end the line or %r%r to end a line and then leave a space between your two paragraphs. It works just like pressing enter does in a text editor.
To show that you're doing something, not just saying something:
:waves hello. Will show 'Yourname waves hello.' to everyone, where Yourname is your actual login name. You can use @emit or @emit %r to show something without having your name always be the first word, if you like.
