How LPs do it (soz, it's my upbringing, tell me to shut it if this annoys
you :) :
Each player has associated verbs to trigger on, the order the verbs are
checked is whichever was the newest verb to be added. If I went into a
room with a cup with associated 'drink' verb, that will be checked first
before my character's default one is checked. If, when I type drink, the
action returns a 1, no other verbs are checked, if it returns 0, then
the next verb is checked. The failure message can be set so if all the
verbs return a 0, then that message is printed.
What do you mean by 'indirect object'?
About aliases: Nathan said his system could do 'alias x shoot $target',
how about expanding this to 'alias x shoot %1{$target}', where if an
argument isn't given with x, $target is substituted in.
Another random thought: How would you think players would respond if they
were by default, oriental? With a very low chance of not being so (if
they chose human). I've got a theme reason for this...
