immortal level, and if you have the autowiz program installed, the wizlist and
immlist will automatically be recreated.
Example:

#
WIZAT
Usage: at <room VNUM | item | mob | player name> <command> <arguments>
AT can be used to perform an action in a location other than where you are
standing. The first argument can be a virtual room number or the name of a
character or object. The remainder of the line is passed to the command
interpreter.
Examples:
> at 3001 look
> at fido kill fido
> at 3.corpse get all corpse

#
BAN UNBAN
Usage: ban [<all | new | select> <site>]
unban <site>
These commands prevent anyone from a site with a hostname containing the
site substring from logging in to the game. You may ban a site to ALL, NEW
or SELECT players. Banning a site to NEW players prevents any new players
from registering. Banning a site to ALL players disallows ANY connections
from that site. Banning a site SELECTively allows only players with site-ok
flags to log in from that site. Ban with no argument returns a list of
currently banned sites.
Unban removes the ban.
Examples:
> ban all whitehouse.gov
> unban ai.mit.edu
See also: WIZLOCK
#
DATE
Shows the current real time. (Not a social)
#
DC
Usage: dc <descriptor number>
DC (DisConnect) is used to disconnect a socket. If used on a playing socket,
the player will lose his/her link, but, unlike PURGE, will not extract the
player or dump the player's inventory on the ground.
DC is also useful for disconnecting people who have accidentally left
themselves at the main menu, or connections sitting in the "Get name" state.

ECHO GECHO QECHO SEND
Usage: echo <message>
gecho <message>
send <victim> <message>
qecho <message>
ECHO displays a string to everyone in your room.
GECHO displays the string to everyone in the game.
QECHO displays the string to everyone with the QUEST flag.
SEND displays the string to a particular person.
Examples:
> echo Hi, everyone in the room.
> gecho Hi, everyone in the game, isn't this annoying?
> send rasmussen You are being watched.
#
FORCE
Usage: force <victim | all> <command> <arguments>
FORCE forces a character, either monster or player, to perform a certain
action. FORCE ALL forces everyone in the game; FORCE ROOM forces everyone in
your room.
Example:
> force fido drop meat
> force all save
> force room look fido
If you are invisible to the one being forced, the force will be performed
silently.
#
FREEZE THAW
Usage: freeze <victim>
thaw <victim>
FREEZE, originally invented here at CircleMUD (we think), is used to prevent
a player from playing. If frozen, the game will ignore all commands entered
by the player, including QUIT, until the player is unfrozen with THAW.
Obviously, this command should only be used in extreme disciplinary
circumstances.
See also: SET -> FROZEN
#
GOTO TRANS WIZTELEPORT
Usage: goto <location>
trans <victim>
teleport <victim> <location>
These commands are used to transports yourself and others to different rooms.
GOTO allows you to go to other rooms; TRANS transports a person from wherever
they are to the room YOU are in; TELEPORT transports your victim to some other
location.
For both GOTO and TELEPORT, the location specifier can be either a virtual
room number, or the name of a character or object.
Examples:
> goto 3001
> goto rasmussen
> trans fido
> teleport fido 3001
> teleport fido 2.fido

an ear-splitting bang"; POOFOUT with no argument defaults to "disappears in
a puff of smoke."
See also: GOTO
#
PURGE
Usage: purge [name]
Purge destroys things. If used with no arguments, it will clear a room of all
mobiles and objects, but will not harm players. If the argument is an object,
that object (and all of its contents, if any) will be destroyed. If the
argument is a mobile, the mobile will be destroyed, leaving its inventory and
equipment lying on the ground.
If the argument is the name of a player, the player's inventory and equipment
will drop on the ground and the player will lose his/her connection. For this
reason, PURGE should only be used on players in disciplinary situations.
Examples:
> purge
> purge Pom
> purge sword
> purge dragon

SET
Usage: set [ file | player ] <character> <field> <value>
SET is an extremely powerful command, capable of setting dozens of aspects of
characters, both players and mobiles.
SET PLAYER forces set to look for a player and not a mobile; useful for
players with names such as 'guard'.
SET FILE lets you change players who are not logged on. If you use SET FILE
on a player who IS logged on, your change will be lost. If you wish to set
a player who is in the game but is linkless, use set twice -- once with the
FILE argument, and once without -- to make sure that the change takes.

Snoop allows you to listen in on another player's session; everything the

you exceed the maximum length for the string or you end a line with a '@'.
Mobiles and objects currently cannot be strung.
