[[File:Scout side.png|alt=Side view of Scout, a golden-brown dog|thumb|Scout]]
The '''Scout'''s are a sub-clade of [[User:Tomash]]'s. They are non-anthropomorphic (aka dog-shaped) dogs who wander the Systems and try to live as dogs as best they can. They have a secondary purpose, the Job, which is to keep an eye out for situations where Tomash's (or some other systech's) intervention might be needed and to summon help.

Most Scouts conclude their time as a dog after a few years or a decade or two and then "go home", merging back with Tomash to be incorporated into the sea of memories that form future Scouts. Some instead elect to "chase rabbits", entirely giving in to the desire to be an animal, and still others simply remain themselves for a long time.

The Scouts generally use he/it pronouns.

Like many dogs, the Scouts enjoy food, especially people food.

There were a few hundred extant Scout instances on [[Lagrange]] around {{Systime|2400}}. Smaller (but not by much) populations exist on [[Convergence]] and [[Pollux]].

== Scout Chasing Rabbits ==

The dog known to the rest of its pack as Scout Chasing Rabbits (and to system records as a zero-width joiner or □) is a fork who, as seen in the Rabbit-Chaser section of ''[[Idumea]]'' (adapted from [https://archiveofourown.org/works/52152946 "Chasing Rabbits"]), fully committed to being a dog out in the woods somewhere. It was an part of an earlier attempt at creating the Scouts and did not have the same sense of the Job that most Scouts do, which led it to abandon post-humanity entirely.

It seems to be having a good time.

== Usability ==

You are welcome, no, encourages, to put a Scout anywhere you think there could be one. Ask [[User:Tomash]] for a look if you have concerns about how the Scouts are portrayed.

== Naming convention ==

Scouts are generally numbered sequentially when they come into being, that is, while they are puppies. In that stage, they wander the System looking for a place (or people) to settle down, ideally one where they might be useful for the Job sometimes.

If multiple Scouts live in the same place, they use ordinal prefixes to distinguish between simultaneous Scout instances (for example, because there was already Scout Behind Coffeeshops, the next Scout to wander around the [[Infinite Cafe]] would be 2nd Scout Behind Coffeeshops) and Roman numeral suffixes to distinguish generations of Scouts that live in the same place (for example, there is both a Scout At The Party III and a Scout At The Party V).

These systems can be combined - 2nd Scout Behind Coffeeshops II would be the second Scout who needed to be 2nd Scout Behind Coffeeshops.

[[File:Tomash-systech-coffee-leak.png|alt=Art of Tomash, a golden-brown anthro dog, wearing a "perisystem technician, do not pet" vest, running towards an emergency|thumb|Tomash in his systech vest]]
'''Tomash''' is both a Post-Self author and a [[Perisystem technician|systech]] within the universe.

He uses he/him pronouns.

== Work ==

I'm a contributor to ''[[Marsh]]'' (where I wrote the short story "Sentences") and to ''[[Idumea]]'', where I wrote the sections featuring [[The Dog|Scout]] and [[The Rabbit-Chaser|Scout]].

I've also written various short-form pieces. Many of those can be found on [https://archiveofourown.org/users/Tomash/pseuds/Tomash/works?fandom_id=103322557 Archive of Our Own (AO3)] or on my [https://tomash3.dreamwidth.org/ Dreamwidth].

== In-universe ==

Tomash is an anthropomorphic dog and a [[perisystem technician]]. He often works with the [[System Emergency Response Group]] to help people out, especially in cases where the mechanics and physics of the System have gotten them (or someone else) into a pickle they can't get themselves out of.

He has, after much practice, forked off a sub-clade, the [[Scout|Scouts]]. These are non-anthropomorphic dogs who settle around the System and keep an eye on things, while mainly just being dogs.

He appears in [https://post-self.ink/stories/coffee-leak/ "Coffee Leak"], where he helps someone new to the System who just wanted to reheat their coffee, in [https://post-self.dreamwidth.org/3289.html "Abandoned Highway"] where he has a road to straighten out, and in [https://archiveofourown.org/works/57201697 "Hunting Dogs"] where he sends someone on a quest.

He, through asking the Scouts fork back into versions of himself, appears in [https://archiveofourown.org/works/53807779 "Arise to Oath and Office"], which was used as promotional material for ''[[Marsh]]''.

Tomash's upload date is unspecified, but he was sworn in as a systech at some point between {{Systime|2190}} and {{Systime|2259}}.

Aside from systech work, Tomash has been known to enjoy games (including puzzles and factory-making sims), role-playing, and reading ... and walks, of course.

Tomash sent a fork to [[Castor]] and [[Pollux]] while remaining on [[Lagrange]].

=== Availability ===

If you'd like to write your own story where Tomash (the character) appears, please run it past Tomash (the author) before widely disseminating it so he can give it a once-over.

=== Systech oath ===

(Since it seemed worth recording)

<blockquote>
I, Tomash of my own clade, for myself and any future up-tree instances who maintain my rights, do swear before you to faithfully serve this System as a perisystem technician. I shall execute the duties of that office to the best of my ability. I shall use my technician's rights, powers, and authorities only for the good of the System and its people, forsaking private gain and partiality. I shall, to the extent I reasonably can, defend the functionality of the System against all defects and threats, both internal and external. I shall similarly endeavor to protect and preserve the individual freedoms granted to all people upon the System, and to use my office to render aid to those people as needed.

And should I forsake this oath and pervert my office, let me suffer what consequences the System and its people deem appropriate.
</blockquote>

2024-03-24T21:42:23Z

Fireheart&: Spellcheck

'''[https://wolfery.com Wolfery]''' is a roleplaying space taking the form of a MUCK which is accessed via the browser. The setting is known as The Rift, a confluence of various universes in one place due to a disruption in space-time. As such, characters from many different worlds have found themselves there, and while some are able to return home, many are not.

Several cladists have found themselves in this setting after the events of [[the Century Attack]], including many [[The Ode clade|Odists]]. In addition, an instance of [[True Name]] exists in The Rift after having been assassinated by [[Zacharias]] at [[Jonas Prime|Jonas]]'s behest. Cladists retain the ability to fork and merge, create various objects, and send sensorium messages, though these are described as dreamy and a bit uncomfortable. Missing is anything to do with the perisystem architecture: no ACLs, no sims, no reputation, no libraries, and, notably, no eternal memory or exocortices. This leads to much difficulty in recalling things in enough detail to create accurate objects or remember data such as texts. Additionally, as no [[systech]] tools are available, [[Crashing|crashed]] or unconscious instances may not be kicked into [[forking]], and death is real and permanent.

We welcome you to come join us in playing out the (non-canon or protocanon) lives of cladists in a setting outside the System!

MUCK

2024-03-05T19:39:55Z

Fireheart&: SSL update.

'''The Post-Self MUCK''' is a real-time text-based roleplaying environment co-hosted by [[Madison Rye Progress|Skunks&]] [[The Lament]] that ''primarily'' depicts [[the Lagrange System]] after [[the Century Attack]].

[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MU* MU*s] such as the Post-Self MUCK are distinguished from forums or IRC in that they are organized into ''rooms'', an imaginary place to which a character goes. These rooms each have descriptions, objects and other characters within them, and are separate in that conversations in one room cannot generally be heard from another. This lends a sort of spatiality to the roleplaying experience that is not found in other forms of chat roleplay.

MUCKs (Multi-User Construction Kits) are distinguished from other MU*s in that they enable ''all'' players to create new areas and objects as they please, and even to write interactive softcode to dynamically modify the presentation of these things. Many players just jump in with a character and a personal description and call it a day, however, and that is the main attraction of the MUCK, after all!

The Post-Self setting was designed to reflect many of the mechanics of MUCKs, mirroring common organizational structures such as realms (sub-areas with local administration) or [[starter sims]] and actions such as <code>sweep</code>ing people from [[sims]] or <code>morph</code>ing oneself into alternate appearances.

You can find a short list of some of the features and commands of the Post-Self MUCK in particular [[MUCK commands|here]]. You do not need to know tons of lore to join us! All you need to know you can learn in [[What is Post-Self?]] and [[No-Spoiler Timeline]].

<center style{{=}}"font-weight: bold;">Communication • [[MUCK:Getting Around|Getting Around]] »</center>
| color = 0080FF

}}

This guide includes broad-strokes instructions about a variety of commands, which you can look up in-game via `help <command>`. You can also find a list of available commands with `help commands` and `help post-self commands`. If you are struggling to figure something out, please ping the `@MUCK Guide` role in [[The_Post-Self_community|the Discord server]].

Commands sent to the MUCK are usually not shown to others. In order to speak, you must actually send a command instructing the server to send a message to others.

== Nearby ==
A MU* such as this is organized into many [[MUCK:Rooms|rooms]], which have a list of characters and objects inside of them. The following commands relate to communicating to those people who exist in the same room; generally, nobody outside the room can hear you. To see which room you are in — and who is in it with you — write `look here`.

=== Say ===
<div style="font-style: italic; font-size: 90%;">`say <message>` or `" <message>`</div>

`say` simply spits out some in-character dialogue, such as:

<pre>
> " Hello, world!
A Finger Pointing says, "Hello, world!"
</pre>

=== Pose ===
<div style="font-style: italic; font-size: 90%;">`pose <action>` or `; <action>` or `: <action>`</div>

`pose` works in much the same way, except that it is displayed as an action.

<pre>
> : waves!
A Finger Pointing waves!
</pre>

To send an action with no space after your name, use `;` instead and omit the space.

<pre>
> ;'s glasses fall off!
A Finger Pointing's glasses fall off!
</pre>

`%R` is a special character that creates a newline. This works in nearly any command, but is particularly useful for multi-paragraph poses. If you are using [https://beipdev.github.io/BeipMU/ BeipMU], there is a configurable hotkey that automatically converts newlines (written with `Shift+Enter`) to `%R`. By default, this key combo is set to `F1`.

<pre>
> : stands up with a sigh.%R%R"I wish you the best, my dear," she says, offering a bow.
A Finger Pointing stands up with a sigh.

"I wish you the best, my dear," she says, offering a bow.
</pre>

=== Emit ===
<div style="font-style: italic; font-size: 90%;">`@emit <message>` or `\ <message>`</div>

`@emit` allows you to send a message that does not begin with your name.

<pre>
> \ On her way out, A Finger Pointing waves goodbye.
On her way out, A Finger Pointing waves goodbye.
</pre>

=== Whisper ===
<div style="font-style: italic; font-size: 90%;">`whisper <target> = <message>` or `w <target> = <message>`</div>

`whisper` allows you to send a private message to one or more people in the same room.

<pre>
> w Slow Hours = Psst!
Whisper (Slow Hours): A Finger Pointing says, "Psst!"

Whisper (A Finger Pointing): Slow Hours says, "Yes?"
</pre>

When you send a whisper, the last target is saved; you can send another message to the same target by writing `w <message>`.

<pre>
> w Here!
Whisper (Slow Hours): A Finger Pointing says, "Here!"
</pre>

You can also send actions by starting your message with `:` or `;`.

<pre>
> w : hands over a treat.
Whisper (Slow Hours): A Finger Pointing hands over a treat.
</pre>

To target multiple people, separate their names with `,`.

<pre>
> w Slow Hours, Motes = Hey! Come over here, you two!
Whisper (Slow Hours, Motes): A Finger Pointing says, "Hey! Come over here, you two!"

Whisper (A Finger Pointing, Slow Hours): Motes says, "Coming!"
Whisper (Motes, A Finger Pointing): Slow Hours says, "One moment."

> w Thank you!
Whisper (Slow Hours, Motes): Thank you!
</pre>

=== OOC ===
<div style="font-style: italic; font-size: 90%;">`ooc <message>` or `' <message>`</div>

`OOC` sends a message to the room marked as out-of-character.

<pre>
> ooc brb!
[OOC] A Finger Pointing says, "brb!"‌

> ooc : returns!
[OOC] A Finger Pointing returns!‌
</pre>

== Remotely ==

=== ComSys ===
<div style="font-style: italic; font-size: 90%;">`pub <message>`</div>

The ComSys is a set of global channels that span the entirety of the MUCK. By default, everyone is connected to `pub`.

<pre>
> pub Hello, everyone!
[Public] A Finger Pointing says, "Hello, everyone!"

> pub : is eager to get started.
[Public] A Finger Pointing is eager to get started.
</pre>

You can get a list of available channels using `@clist`, then add yourself to one of the channels with `addcom <alias> = <channel>`. From that point on, you can send messages to that channel by writing `<alias> <message>`.

<pre>
> @clist
*** Channel Owner Description‌
P-- Odists Slow Hours No description. ‌
PL- Public The Dreamer No description. ‌
P-- Riãos The Dreamer No description. ‌
-- End of list of Channels --‌

> addcom ode = Odists
Channel Odists added with alias ode.‌

> ode I am here!
[Odists] A Finger Pointing says, "I am here!"
</pre>

You can leave a channel with `delcom <alias>`.

<pre>
> delcom ode
Alias ode for channel Odists deleted.‌
</pre>

=== Page ===
<div style="font-style: italic; font-size: 90%;">`page <target> = <message>` or `p <target> = <message>`</div>

`page` works essentially the same as `whisper`, except that it works even if the recipients are in a different room.

<pre>
> p Slow Hours = Coming?
Sensorium (Slow Hours): A Finger Pointing says, "Coming?"

Sensorium (Slow Hours): Slow Hours says, "Yes, just a moment!"

> p : waits patiently.
Sensorium (Slow Hours): A Finger Pointing waits patiently.
</pre>

You can send a quick ping with `p <target> =`.

<pre>
> p Slow Hours =
Sensorium (Slow Hours): A Finger Pointing sends a ping.

> p =
Sensorium (Slow Hours): A Finger Pointing sends a ping.
</pre>

=== Mail ===
All of the previous commands are only useful if the characters you are interacting with are awake! If somebody has logged out, and you want to leave them a message, you will need to use `@mail`. However, this command does not work at all like the others; it is really rather involved, so this guide will focus on the basics.

To send mail, write `@mail/quick <recipients>/<subject> = <message>`.

<pre>
> @mail/quick "Slow Hours" Motes/Blockparty Invitation = My dears,%R%RYou have been invited to our seasonal blockparty!
MAIL: You sent your message to Slow Hours.‌
MAIL: You sent your message to Motes.‌
</pre>

If you receive mail while logged in, you will be notified immediately.

<pre>
MAIL: You have a new message from A Finger Pointing. Subject: Blockparty Invitation‌
</pre>

If you receive mail while asleep, you will be notified when you next log in.

<pre>
MAIL: 1 messages in folder 0 [unnamed] (1 unread, 0 cleared).‌
</pre>

To see the list of messages in your inbox, simply write `@mail`. The `N` on the far left indicates an u<u>n</u>read message.

<pre>
> @mail

MUCK:Forking

2024-02-19T22:11:02Z

Fireheart&: Typo

<center>This article is part of the {{ll|Category:MUCK Guide|MUCK Guide}}.</center>
<center style{{=}}"font-weight: bold;">« [[MUCK:Character Setup|Character Setup]] • Forking • [[MUCK:Building New Areas|Building New Areas]] »</center>
| color = 0080FF
| float = center
}}

This is the Post-Self MUCK! Of ''course'' you can fork!

== Command Usage ==

=== Creating A Fork ===
<div style="font-style: italic; font-size: 90%;">`fork <tag>`</div>

To create a new fork, you could simply type `fork`.

<pre>
> fork
A Finger Pointing forks into A Finger Pointing#DA4076A1.‌
Default fork set to #DA4076A1.‌
</pre>

You probably want to ''name'' your fork, however, for convenience. To do so, you can write `fork <tag>`.

<pre>
> fork Demo
A Finger Pointing forks into A Finger Pointing#Demo.‌
Default fork set to #Demo.‌
</pre>

This creates a type of object called a [https://wiki.tinymux.org/index.php/PUPPET Puppet], which basically behaves like an extension of your character. Traditionally, these are used to represent pets or NPCs; they still can, but doing so with the `fork` command will not work very well.

=== Controlling A Fork ===
<div style="font-style: italic; font-size: 90%;">`> <tag> = <command>`</div>

This is the one case where you are actually supposed to type the `>` at the start. To control a fork, write `> <command>`.

<pre>
> > : waves!
A Finger Pointing#Demo waves!
</pre>

If you want to control a fork other than the last one you controlled, write `> <tag> = <command>`.

<pre>
> > Previous = " Hello, #Demo.
A Finger Pointing#Previous says, "Hello, #Demo."
Default fork set to #Previous.
</pre>

You can also write an abbreviated version of the fork's tag.

<pre>
> > prev = " Still me!

</pre>

=== Quitting ===
<div style="font-style: italic; font-size: 90%;">`quit`</div>

A fork can quit at any time by using the `quit` command.

<pre>
> > demo = quit
A Finger Pointing#Demo quits.
</pre>

Alternatively, you can use `quit 1`, bubbling up instead of merging down. This teleports you to the fork before they quit.

<pre>
> > demo = quit 1
A Finger Pointing bubbles up to #Demo.
</pre>

=== Memory Management ===
If you want to store a memory, you can write `memo <text>`.

<pre>
> memo May Then My Name thinks dandelions smell like muffins.
Memory saved.
</pre>

You can look up a list of stored memories with `memo`.

<pre>
> memo
280+51.90: May Then My Name thinks dandelions smell like muffins.‌
</pre>

== Individuation ==
The best way to represent an individuated fork is to create a new character. If you simply rename them or make a puppet from scratch, their forks will technically be your direct up-trees, inheriting none of their properties. This is because only one generation of forks is represented under the hood; forks of forks are flattened down. Roleplay is the means by which more diverse clade structures are expressed.

This is the Post-Self MUCK! Of ''course'' you can fork!

== Command Usage ==

=== Creating A Fork ===
<div style="font-style: italic; font-size: 90%;">`fork <tag>`</div>

To create a new fork, you could simply type `fork`.

<pre>
> fork
A Finger Pointing forks into A Finger Pointing#DA4076A1.‌
Default fork set to #DA4076A1.‌
</pre>

You probably want to ''name'' you fork, however, for convenience. To do so, you can write `fork <tag>`.

<pre>
> fork Demo
A Finger Pointing forks into A Finger Pointing#Demo.‌
Default fork set to #Demo.‌
</pre>

This creates a type of object called a [https://wiki.tinymux.org/index.php/PUPPET Puppet], which basically behaves like an extension of your character. Traditionally, these are used to represent pets or NPCs; they still can, but doing so with the `fork` command will not work very well.

=== Controlling A Fork ===
<div style="font-style: italic; font-size: 90%;">`> <tag> = <command>`</div>

This is the one case where you are actually supposed to type the `>` at the start. To control a fork, write `> <command>`.

<pre>
> > : waves!
A Finger Pointing#Demo waves!
</pre>

If you want to control a fork other than the last one you controlled, write `> <tag> = <command>`.

<pre>
> > Previous = " Hello, #Demo.
A Finger Pointing#Previous says, "Hello, #Demo."
Default fork set to #Previous.
</pre>

You can also write an abbreviated version of the fork's tag.

<pre>
> > prev = " Still me!
A Finger Pointing#Previous says, "Still me!"
</pre>

=== Quitting ===
<div style="font-style: italic; font-size: 90%;">`quit`</div>

A fork can quit at any time by using the `quit` command.

<pre>
> > demo = quit
A Finger Pointing#Demo quits.
</pre>

Alternatively, you can use `quit 1`, bubbling up instead of merging down. This teleports you to the fork before they quit.

<pre>
> > demo = quit 1
A Finger Pointing bubbles up to #Demo.
</pre>

=== Memory Management ===
If you want to store a memory, you can write `memo <text>`.

<pre>
> memo May Then My Name thinks dandelions smell like muffins.
Memory saved.
</pre>

You can look up a list of stored memories with `memo`.

<pre>
> memo
280+51.90: May Then My Name thinks dandelions smell like muffins.‌

Although it is sufficient to name your character, jump into the Old Town Square, and get right to roleplaying, the advantage of the [[MUCK]] environment is that it is so much more than a glorified chatbox. MU*s take place in a physical world whose contents have various interactive properties.

== Command Usage ==

<div style="font-style: italic; font-size: 90%;">`@desc me = <text>`</div>

`@desc` allows you to describe anything you [https://wiki.tinymux.org/index.php/CONTROL control], which is what is displayed whenever someone `look`s at you.

Time Is A Finger Pointing At Itself of the Ode clade (or, preferably, A Finger
Pointing) is a tallish Odist with a flair for the dramatic and a wiliness
about nearly everything she does.

Her hair's obligate curl has been harnessed into a chic style in its own
right, complementing her characteristically wicked grin.

A Finger Pointing just looked at you.‌
</pre>

=== Pronouns ===
<div style="font-style: italic; font-size: 90%;">`pronouns <group>`</div>

You can see which pronoun groups are available by writing `pronouns`.

<pre>
> pronouns
Elverson, Epicene, Fae, Feminine, Intersex, Masculine, Neuter, Plural, Singular, Spivak, and Vers
</pre>

You can also look at the in-game documentation by writing `help pronouns`, which should offer more detail about nonbinary pronouns.

<pre>
> help pronouns
PRONOUNS

pronouns
pronouns <preset>

The first form of this command displays a list of pronoun presets that you
can apply to yourself.

The second form of this command applies <preset> to your character,
and displays a test string which you can read to ensure your pronouns are set
correctly.

SINGULAR and PLURAL are special pronoun sets that define what grammar should
be used when referring to you. It determines whether you are referred to
with phrases like "Ve is / They is" or "Ey are / She are".

EPICENE is the inclusive pronoun "They / Them".
NEUTER is the object pronoun "It / Its".
ELVERSON is the neopronoun "Ey / Em".
SPIVAK is the neopronoun "E / Em".
VERS is the neopronoun "Ve / Ver".
INTERSEX is the neopronoun "Shi / Hir".
FAE is the neopronoun "Fae / Faer".

Related Topics: examine, @set, post-self functions, post-self commands.
</pre>

Unless your pronouns are specifically They / Them, you probably want to select the `singular` group.

<pre>
> pronouns singular
A friend said of A Finger Pointing, "They was always so vibrant; their laughter was so pointedly *theirs* that you could not mistake them for anyone else. “There they goes making fun of themself again!” we would always say. “They always has the last laugh!” They is sorely missed, and as they leaves our lives, let us remember those resonant barks each time we are tickled by their memory."‌
</pre>

Then you can select the group that sets up the correct pronouns.

<pre>

A friend said of A Finger Pointing, "She was always so vibrant; her laughter was so pointedly *hers* that you could not mistake her for anyone else. “There she goes making fun of herself again!” we would always say. “She always has the last laugh!” She is sorely missed, and as she leaves our lives, let us remember those resonant barks each time we are tickled by her memory."‌
</pre>

If what you are looking for is not listed, reach out to someone with `@Manage ACLs` in the [[The Post-Self Community|Discord server]] or contact a [https://wiki.tinymux.org/index.php/Wizard Wizard] in-game.

=== Species ===
<div style="font-style: italic; font-size: 90%;">`@species <text>`</div>

`@species` is primarily shown when someone uses `lWho` to get information about the characters nearby.

<pre>
> lwho
Name Pronouns Species Idle ‌
A Finger Pointing She / Her Human 0s
Loam Ey / Em Human 5m1s
Motes She / Her Skunklet! 8m48s
Sasha She / Her Cinnamon Skunk 4m6s ‌
End of LWho ‌
</pre>

You can change your species by writing `@species <text>`.

<pre>
> @species Skunk
Set.
</pre>

=== Perisystem Records ===
<div style="font-style: italic; font-size: 90%;">`peri <field> = <text>`</div>

`peri <target>` allows you to find basic information about another cladist by name.

<pre>
> peri A Finger Pointing
Time Is A Finger Pointing At Itself of the Ode clade (She / Her)
Forked from Michelle Hadje on 0+103.‌
</pre>

To set up your own records, you first need to find out which fields are available by writing `peri`.

<pre>
> peri
signifier clade origin timestamp‌
</pre>

Then you can go through each one using `peri <field> = <text>`.

<pre>
> peri signifier = Time Is A Finger Pointing At Itself
Set.

> peri clade = of the Ode clade
Set.

> peri origin = Michelle Hadje
Set.

> peri timestamp = 0+103
Set.
</pre>

If your `origin` field is unset, your perisystem record will change to describe you as a root instance.

│ ║
│ Old Town Square ║
│ ║
╘════ 280+51.74 ════╝ ‌

Old Town provides a bucolic view of a small town main street. The ground is
paved in a herringbone pattern of red-purple bricks, and the buildings that
line it are of a comfortable brick-and-concrete aesthetic that invites one to
explore the shops within.

The square itself sits at the midpoint of a pedestrian mall, a wide spot
carved out into an octagonal space. At the center stands a small fountain set
into a shallow bowl taking up the majority of the space, the edges of which
are lined with concrete benches, all facing a permanent bandstand. When the
fountain is running, the water drains away into narrow channels that sink down
into the base of the bandstand, a perennial attraction for floating origami
boats and rubber ducks during the warmer summer months.

Around the rim of this depression, several low tables are on offer, each
surrounded by furniture of various sorts, from steel chairs to wooden benches
to chaise lounges with indoor/outdoor cushions of such squishiness that one is
all but invited to nap. Beyond these, beyond the pathways left for foot
traffic, shops of all sorts fill the stone buildings. There, a shop sells
silver rings, silver pendants, silver bangles. And there, beside it, a curio
shop selling impossible shapes. The road leads further down, enticing you with
several more shops to come.

</pre>

Most areas should also have an exit leading O̲ut to the metaphorical street and B̲ack to the focal point of the sim. Often this is the same exit, and sometimes it is named something else; the name you see is only one of several commands related to an exit.

Old Town provides a bucolic view of...
</pre>

=== Home ===
<div style="font-style: italic; font-size: 90%;">`home`</div>

Every character and every object is `@link`ed to something else, usually a room. This is call its home, which characters can teleport to at any time with `home`.

<pre>

</pre>

By default, characters are `@link`ed to the starter sim, which should suffice until you decide you want to get into [[MUCK:Building New Areas|building]] on the MUCK.

=== Joining ===
<div style="font-style: italic; font-size: 90%;">`join <target>` or `call <target>`</div>

The `join` command sends a request to another character asking to be brought to them.

<pre>
> join Slow Hours
Request sent!
</pre>

If you receive such a request, you will be notified and shown the text with which to accept it.

<pre>
A Finger Pointing is requesting to join you! (c̲a̲l̲l̲_A̲_F̲i̲n̲ge̲r̲_P̲o̲i̲n̲t̲i̲n̲g)‌

> call A Finger Pointing
A Finger Pointing has arrived.
</pre>

The commands also work in the reverse.

<pre>
> call Slow Hours
Request sent!

A Finger Pointing is requesting to call you! (jo̲i̲n̲_A̲_F̲i̲n̲ge̲r̲_P̲o̲i̲n̲t̲i̲n̲g)‌
> join A Finger Pointing
Slow Hours joins A Finger Pointing.
</pre>

If you receive a request you do not want, you can simply ignore it; it will expire after a minute has passed.

<center style{{=}}"font-weight: bold;">Communication • [[MUCK:Getting Around|Getting Around]] »</center>
| color = 0080FF
| float = center
}}

This guide includes broad-strokes instructions about a variety of commands, which you can look up in-game via `help <command>`. You can also find a list of available commands with `help commands` and `help post-self commands`. If you are struggling to figure something out, please ping the `@MUCK Guide` role in [[The_Post-Self_community|the Discord server]].

Commands sent to the MUCK are usually not shown to others. In order to speak, you must actually send a command instructing the server to send a message to others.

== Nearby ==
A MU* such as this is organized into many [[MUCK:Rooms|rooms]], which have a list of characters and objects inside of them. The following commands relate to communicating to those people who exist in the same room; generally, nobody outside the room can hear you. To see which room you are in — and who is in it with you — write `look here`.

=== Say ===
<div style="font-style: italic; font-size: 90%;">`say <message>` or `" <message>`</div>

`say` simply spits out some in-character dialogue, such as:

<pre>
> " Hello, world!
A Finger Pointing says, "Hello, world!"
</pre>

=== Pose ===
<div style="font-style: italic; font-size: 90%;">`pose <action>` or `; <action>` or `: <action>`</div>

`pose` works in much the same way, except that it is displayed as an action.

<pre>
> : waves!
A Finger Pointing waves!
</pre>

To send an action with no space after your name, omit the space after the `:` or `;`.

<pre>
> :'s glasses fall off!
A Finger Pointing's glasses fall off!
</pre>

`%R` is a special character that creates a newline. This works in nearly any command, but is particularly useful for multi-paragraph poses. If you are using [https://beipdev.github.io/BeipMU/ BeipMU], there is a configurable hotkey that automatically converts newlines (written with `Shift+Enter`) to `%R`. By default, this key combo is set to `F1`.

<pre>
> : stands up with a sigh.%R%R"I wish you the best, my dear," she says, offering a bow.
A Finger Pointing stands up with a sigh.

"I wish you the best, my dear," she says, offering a bow.
</pre>

=== Emit ===
<div style="font-style: italic; font-size: 90%;">`@emit <message>` or `\ <message>`</div>

`@emit` allows you to send a message that does not begin with your name.

<pre>
> \ On her way out, A Finger Pointing waves goodbye.
On her way out, A Finger Pointing waves goodbye.
</pre>

=== Whisper ===
<div style="font-style: italic; font-size: 90%;">`whisper <target> = <message>` or `w <target> = <message>`</div>

`whisper` allows you to send a private message to one or more people in the same room.

<pre>
> w Slow Hours = Psst!
Whisper (Slow Hours): A Finger Pointing says, "Psst!"

Whisper (A Finger Pointing): Slow Hours says, "Yes?"
</pre>

When you send a whisper, the last target is saved; you can send another message to the same target by writing `w <message>`.

<pre>
> w Here!
Whisper (Slow Hours): A Finger Pointing says, "Here!"
</pre>

You can also send actions by starting your message with `:` or `;`.

<pre>
> w : hands over a treat.
Whisper (Slow Hours): A Finger Pointing hands over a treat.
</pre>

To target multiple people, separate their names with `,`.

<pre>
> w Slow Hours, Motes = Hey! Come over here, you two!
Whisper (Slow Hours, Motes): A Finger Pointing says, "Hey! Come over here, you two!"

Whisper (A Finger Pointing, Slow Hours): Motes says, "Coming!"
Whisper (Motes, A Finger Pointing): Slow Hours says, "One moment."

> w Thank you!
Whisper (Slow Hours, Motes): Thank you!
</pre>

=== OOC ===
<div style="font-style: italic; font-size: 90%;">`ooc <message>` or `' <message>`</div>

`OOC` sends a message to the room marked as out-of-character.

<pre>
> ooc brb!
[OOC] A Finger Pointing says, "brb!"‌

> ooc : returns!
[OOC] A Finger Pointing returns!‌
</pre>

== Remotely ==

=== ComSys ===
<div style="font-style: italic; font-size: 90%;">`pub <message>`</div>

The ComSys is a set of global channels that span the entirety of the MUCK. By default, everyone is connected to `pub`.

<pre>
> pub Hello, everyone!
[Public] A Finger Pointing says, "Hello, everyone!"

> pub : is eager to get started.
[Public] A Finger Pointing is eager to get started.
</pre>

You can get a list of available channels using `@clist`, then add yourself to one of the channels with `addcom <alias> = <channel>`. From that point on, you can send messages to that channel by writing `<alias> <message>`.

<pre>
> @clist
*** Channel Owner Description‌
P-- Odists Slow Hours No description. ‌
PL- Public The Dreamer No description. ‌
P-- Riãos The Dreamer No description. ‌
-- End of list of Channels --‌

> addcom ode = Odists
Channel Odists added with alias ode.‌

> ode I am here!
[Odists] A Finger Pointing says, "I am here!"
</pre>

You can leave a channel with `delcom <alias>`.

<pre>
> delcom ode
Alias ode for channel Odists deleted.‌
</pre>

=== Page ===
<div style="font-style: italic; font-size: 90%;">`page <target> = <message>` or `p <target> = <message>`</div>

`page` works essentially the same as `whisper`, except that it works even if the recipients are in a different room.

<pre>
> p Slow Hours = Coming?
Sensorium (Slow Hours): A Finger Pointing says, "Coming?"

Sensorium (Slow Hours): Slow Hours says, "Yes, just a moment!"

> p : waits patiently.
Sensorium (Slow Hours): A Finger Pointing waits patiently.
</pre>

You can send a quick ping with `p <target> =`.

<pre>
> p Slow Hours =
Sensorium (Slow Hours): A Finger Pointing sends a ping.

> p =
Sensorium (Slow Hours): A Finger Pointing sends a ping.
</pre>

=== Mail ===
All of the previous commands are only useful if the characters you are interacting with are awake! If somebody has logged out, and you want to leave them a message, you will need to use `@mail`. However, this command does not work at all like the others; it is really rather involved, so this guide will focus on the basics.

To send mail, write `@mail/quick <recipients>/<subject> = <message>`.

<pre>
> @mail/quick "Slow Hours" Motes/Blockparty Invitation = My dears,%R%RYou have been invited to our seasonal blockparty!
MAIL: You sent your message to Slow Hours.‌
MAIL: You sent your message to Motes.‌
</pre>

If you receive mail while logged in, you will be notified immediately.

<pre>
MAIL: You have a new message from A Finger Pointing. Subject: Blockparty Invitation‌
</pre>

If you receive mail while asleep, you will be notified when you next log in.

<pre>
MAIL: 1 messages in folder 0 [unnamed] (1 unread, 0 cleared).‌
</pre>

To see the list of messages in your inbox, simply write `@mail`. The `N` on the far left indicates an u<u>n</u>read message.

<pre>
> @mail
––––––––––––––––––––––––––– MAIL: Folder 0 –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

You can read a particular message with `@mail <ID>`. The first number on the left is the message's ID.

<pre>

Fireheart&: Commit to the bit, initially.

These pages explain how to use [[MUCK|the Post-Self MUCK]], including both essential and technical skills.

MUCK

2024-02-19T14:11:12Z

Fireheart&: Formatting, add link to Category:MUCK Guide.

'''The Post-Self MUCK''' is a real-time text-based roleplaying environment co-hosted by [[Madison Rye Progress|Skunks&]] [[The Lament]] that ''primarily'' depicts [[the Lagrange System]] after [[the Century Attack]].

[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MU* MU*s] such as the Post-Self MUCK are distinguished from forums or IRC in that they are organized into ''rooms'', an imaginary place to which a character goes. These rooms each have descriptions, objects and other characters within them, and are separate in that conversations in one room cannot generally be heard from another. This lends a sort of spatiality to the roleplaying experience that is not found in other forms of chat roleplay.

MUCKs (Multi-User Construction Kits) are distinguished from other MU*s in that they enable ''all'' players to create new areas and objects as they please, and even to write interactive softcode to dynamically modify the presentation of these things. Many players just jump in with a character and a personal description and call it a day, however, and that is the main attraction of the MUCK, after all!

The Post-Self setting was designed to reflect many of the mechanics of MUCKs, mirroring common organizational structures such as realms (sub-areas with local administration) or [[starter sims]] and actions such as <code>sweep</code>ing people from [[sims]] or <code>morph</code>ing oneself into alternate appearances.

You can find a short list of some of the features and commands of the Post-Self MUCK in particular [[MUCK commands|here]]. You do not need to know tons of lore to join us! All you need to know you can learn in [[What is Post-Self?]] and [[No-Spoiler Timeline]].

The MUCK is currently configured to allow anyone to create new characters at will.

The Post-Self MUCK is hosted on a Unix system using [https://www.tinymux.org/ TinyMUX 2.13].

If you need help figuring out how to use the MUCK, you can contact a <code>@MUCK Guide</code> in the [https://makyo.io/ps-discord Post-Self Discord].

MUCK:Cheatsheet

2024-02-17T04:31:59Z

Fireheart&: Add a reference to "peri".

The [[MUCK]] has plenty of functionality available to you. Here is a list of some of the commands offered as a cheat-sheet. You can find out more about any of them with the <code>help</code> command, and if you do better with a walk-through, the <code>intro</code> command will help you out there.

== Describing yourself ==

* Create a description of yourself using the <code>@desc</code> command. If you want newlines in the description, you can add them with <code>%r</code>. For instance <code>@desc me=Skunk!%r%rSmol!%r%rLittle bundle of excitable, zippy, and fidgety skunk...</code> Others can see this by <code>look</code>ing at you.
* Set your species with <code>@species</code> (Even if you are human.) (''Especially'' if you are human!)
* Set up your perisystem records with <code>peri</code>.
* Set your pronouns with the <code>pronouns</code> command. Others can see these and your species with the <code>lwho</code> command. There are several presets available:
** <code>pronouns epicene</code> — "They / Them"
** <code>pronouns neuter</code> — "It / Its"
** <code>pronouns elverson</code> — "Ey / Em"
** <code>pronouns spivak</code> — "E / Em"
** <code>pronouns vers</code> — "Ve / Ver"
** <code>pronouns intersex</code> — "Shi / Hir"
** <code>pronouns fae</code> — "Fae / Faer"
** <code>pronouns feminine</code> — "She / Her"
** <code>pronouns masculine</code> — "He / Him"

== Substitutions ==
Substitutions are bits that you can put in your text to be substituted when it's sent.

* New line: <code>%r</code>
* Tab: <code>%t</code>
* Colors: colors start with <code>%x</code>, followed by a letter
** <code>%xb</code>: blue text / <code>%xB</code>: blue background
** <code>%xc</code>: cyan text / <code>%xC</code>: cyan background
** <code>%xg</code>: green text / <code>%xG</code>: green background
** <code>%xm</code>: magenta text / <code>%xM</code>: magenta background
** <code>%xr</code>: red text / <code>%xR</code>: red background
** <code>%xw</code>: white text / <code>%xW</code>: white background
** <code>%xx</code>: black text / <code>%xX</code>: black background
** <code>%xy</code>: yellow text / <code>%xY</code>: yellow background
** <code>%xh</code>: bold text
** <code>%xu</code>: underlined text
** Use <code>%xn</code> to reset to normal text
** You can stack these: <code>%xx%xWInverted!%xn</code> produces black text on a white background and then resets

== Moving around ==

* You can check for public sims with <code>sims</code> and then get to them by typing their name (<code>square</code> is a good one to try)
* Most sims should have a <code><u>B</u>ack</code> or <code><u>O</u>ut</code> exit
* You can offer to bring others to you with the call command, or ask to join them with the <code>join</code> command
* You can look at the room with <code>look</code> with no name after it
* You can see who is in the room with <code>lwho</code>

== Communicating ==

* You can speak with the <code>say</code> command, or by starting the line with <code>"</code>
* You can perform an action with the <code>pose</code> command, or by starting the line with <code>: </code> or <code>; </code> (note the space). If you don't want a space after your name, as with 's, ''do'' omit the space.
* You can speak privately to someone in the same room as you with <code>whisper</code> or <code>wh</code>
* You can speak privately to someone not in the same room as you with <code>page</code> or <code>p</code>
* If you want to describe something to others in the room without your name in front of it, you can use <code>@emit</code> or start the line with <code>\</code>

== Forking and merging ==
Of course forking is implemented!

* Create a new fork with the <code>fork</code> command. If you don't choose a tag (the bit after the #), one will be chosen for you
* To interact with the fork, use the <code>> </code> command (again, note the space). It will be set as your default fork. If you want to control a different fork, you'll need to specify. For instance:
** Motes creates a fork called Motes#Hi with <code>fork Hi</code>
** She runs up to someone and says hi as the fork with <code>> Hi=: runs up to Bee and says, "Hi!"</code>
** From then on, she doesn't need to use the fork name. <code>> : keeps saying hi for like eight minutes!</code>
** She can create another fork with <code>fork Boo</code> and then interact as before, <code>> Boo=: jumps out from behind the bushes.</code>
** If she wants to switch between forks, she just needs to use the fork's tag as before.
* You can create a memory tied to a fork with <code>memo</code> run as the fork
* A fork can merge down with <code>quit</code> run as the fork

== Creating ==

* Creating objects:
** You can create an object with <code>@create</code>
** You can describe the object with <code>@desc</code>
** If you want to lock it so that only you can move it, use <code>@lock</code>
* Creating rooms:
** Create a new room with <code>@dig/teleport</code>
** Describe it with <code>@desc</code>
** Link it to other rooms with <code>@open</code>
* Find the objects you own with <code>@find</code>, and use <code>@tel</code> to either move yourself to the room or the object to yourself

== Softcode ==

* Softcode lets you make your text dynamic. You can learn more on [https://wiki.tinymux.org/index.php/Softcode_functions the TinyMUX wiki], though be prepared; it's a lot. Mostly, it is contained in square brackets, so keep that in mind
* One thing you might want to do most often is reference pronouns in text such as your descriptions. You can do this with the various function calls related to pronouns, like <code>[they(%#, 1)] [has(%#)] [they(%#)] / [them(%#)] pronouns.</code> which will hopefully produce something like <code>They have she / her pronouns.</code>
* Check [[Talk:MUCK commands]] for some handy samples folks have made.

* New line: <code>%r</code>
* Tab: <code>%t</code>
* Colors: colors start with <code>%x</code>, followed by a letter
** <code>%xb</code>: blue text / <code>%xB</code>: blue background
** <code>%xc</code>: cyan text / <code>%xC</code>: cyan background
** <code>%xg</code>: green text / <code>%xG</code>: green background
** <code>%xm</code>: magenta text / <code>%xM</code>: magenta background
** <code>%xr</code>: red text / <code>%xR</code>: red background
** <code>%xw</code>: white text / <code>%xW</code>: white background
** <code>%xx</code>: black text / <code>%xX</code>: black background
** <code>%xy</code>: yellow text / <code>%xY</code>: yellow background
** <code>%xh</code>: bold text
** <code>%xu</code>: underlined text
** Use <code>%xn</code> to reset to normal text
** You can stack these: <code>%xx%xWInverted!%xn</code> produces black text on a white background and then resets

== Moving around ==

* You can check for public sims with <code>sims</code> and then get to them by typing their name (<code>square</code> is a good one to try)
* Most sims should have a <code><u>B</u>ack</code> or <code><u>O</u>ut</code> exit
* You can offer to bring others to you with the call command, or ask to join them with the <code>join</code> command
* You can look at the room with <code>look</code> with no name after it
* You can see who is in the room with <code>lwho</code>

== Communicating ==

* You can speak with the <code>say</code> command, or by starting the line with <code>"</code>
* You can perform an action with the <code>pose</code> command, or by starting the line with <code>: </code> or <code>; </code> (note the space). If you don't want a space after your name, as with 's, ''do'' omit the space.
* You can speak privately to someone in the same room as you with <code>whisper</code> or <code>wh</code>
* You can speak privately to someone not in the same room as you with <code>page</code> or <code>p</code>
* If you want to describe something to others in the room without your name in front of it, you can use <code>@emit</code> or start the line with <code>\</code>

== Forking and merging ==
Of course forking is implemented!

* Create a new fork with the <code>fork</code> command. If you don't choose a tag (the bit after the #), one will be chosen for you
* To interact with the fork, use the <code>></code> command. It will be set as your default fork. If you want to control a different fork, you'll need to specify. For instance:
** Motes creates a fork called Motes#Hi with <code>fork Hi</code>
** She runs up to someone and says hi as the fork with <code>> Hi=:runs up to Bee and says, "Hi!"</code>
** From then on, she doesn't need to use the fork name. <code>> :keeps saying hi for like eight minutes!</code>
** She can create another fork with <code>fork Boo</code> and then interact as before, <code>> Boo=:jumps out from behind the bushes.</code>
** If she wants to switch between forks, she just needs to use the fork's tag as before.
* You can create a memory tied to a fork with <code>memo</code> run as the fork
* A fork can merge down with <code>quit</code> run as the fork

== Creating ==

* Creating objects:
** You can create an object with <code>@create</code>
** You can describe the object with <code>@desc</code>
** If you want to lock it so that only you can move it, use <code>@lock</code>
* Creating rooms:
** Create a new room with <code>@dig/teleport</code>
** Describe it with <code>@desc</code>
** Link it to other rooms with <code>@open</code>
* Find the objects you own with <code>@find</code>, and use <code>@tel</code> to either move yourself to the room or the object to yourself

== Softcode ==

* Softcode lets you make your text dynamic. You can learn more on [https://wiki.tinymux.org/index.php/Softcode_functions the TinyMUX wiki], though be prepared; it's a lot. Mostly, it is contained in square brackets, so keep that in mind
* One thing you might want to do most often is reference pronouns in text such as your descriptions. You can do this with the various function calls related to pronouns, like <code>[they(%#, 1)] [has(%#)] [they(%#)] / [them(%#)] pronouns.</code> which will hopefully produce something like <code>They have she / her pronouns.</code>
* Check [[Talk:MUCK commands]] for some handy samples folks have made.

MUCK:Cheatsheet

2024-02-17T04:27:10Z

Fireheart&: Fix wiki syntax.

The [[MUCK]] has plenty of functionality available to you. Here is a list of some of the commands offered as a cheat-sheet. You can find out more about any of them with the <code>help</code> command, and if you do better with a walk-through, the <code>intro</code> command will help you out there.

== Describing yourself ==

* Create a description of yourself using the <code>@desc</code> command. If you want newlines in the description, you can add them with <code>%r</code>. For instance <code>@desc me=Skunk!%r%rSmol!%r%rLittle bundle of excitable, zippy, and fidgety skunk...</code> Others can see this by <code>look</code>ing at you.
* Set your species with <code>@species</code> (Even if you are human.) (''Especially'' if you are human!)
* Set your pronouns with the <code>pronouns</code> command. Others can see these and your species with the <code>lwho</code> command. There are several presets available:
** <code>pronouns epicene</code> — "They / Them"
** <code>pronouns neuter</code> — "It / Its"
** <code>pronouns elverson</code> — "Ey / Em"
** <code>pronouns spivak</code> — "E / Em"
** <code>pronouns vers</code> — "Ve / Ver"
** <code>pronouns intersex</code> — "Shi / Hir"
** <code>pronouns fae</code> — "Fae / Faer"
** <code>pronouns feminine</code> — "She / Her"
** <code>pronouns masculine</code> — "He / Him"

== Substitutions ==
Substitutions are bits that you can put in your text to be substituted when it's sent.

** <code>%xc</code>: cyan text / <code>%xC</code>: cyan background
** <code>%xg</code>: green text / <code>%xG</code>: green background
** <code>%xm</code>: magenta text / <code>%xM</code>: magenta background
** <code>%xr</code>: red text / <code>%xR</code>: red background
** <code>%xw</code>: white text / <code>%xW</code>: white background
** <code>%xx</code>: black text / <code>%xX</code>: black background
** <code>%xy</code>: yellow text / <code>%xY</code>: yellow background
** <code>%xh</code>: bold text

Fireheart&: Phrasing.

'''The Post-Self MUCK''' is a real-time text-based roleplaying environment co-hosted by [[Madison Rye Progress|Skunks&]] [[The Lament]] that ''primarily'' depicts [[the Lagrange System]] after [[the Century Attack]].

[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MU* MU*s] such as the Post-Self MUCK are distinguished from forums or IRC in that they are organized into ''rooms'', an imaginary place to which a character goes. These rooms each have descriptions, objects and other characters within them, and are separate in that conversations in one room cannot generally be heard from another. This lends a sort of spatiality to the roleplaying experience that is not found in other forms of chat roleplay.

MUCKs (Multi-User Construction Kits) are distinguished from other MU*s in that they enable ''all'' players to create new areas and objects as they please, and even to write interactive softcode to dynamically modify the presentation of these things. Many players just jump in with a character and a personal description and call it a day, however, and that is the main attraction of the MUCK, after all!

The Post-Self setting was designed to reflect many of the mechanics of MUCKs, mirroring common organizational structures such as realms (sub-areas with local administration) or [[starter sims]] and actions such as <code>sweep</code>ing people from [[sims]] or <code>morph</code>ing oneself into alternate appearances.

Fireheart&: Reply to Sasha's Identity.

= Sasha's Identity =

Curious as to the reasoning for this. Does she think of herself in that way? I would have expected the opposite redirect. --[[User:Makyo|Makyo]] ([[User talk:Makyo|talk]]) 19:52, 8 February 2024 (UTC)
* Perhaps with a disambiguation box at the top: "This page refers to the cladist who is a merger of True Name, E.W., and May Then My Name. Sasha, the character from ''[[Qoheleth]]'' is referenced in [[Michelle Hadje/Sasha]]"? --[[User:Makyo|Makyo]] ([[User talk:Makyo|talk]]) 19:55, 8 February 2024 (UTC)

In this case, it is for the sake of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Disambiguation#Naming_the_specific_topic_articles natural disambiguation]. The name she is known to the community by is ''Sasha'', but so is Michelle/Sasha's, especially phys-side. Redirecting in this way means that the pages in which we discuss Sasha née True Name can simply read [[Sasha]], and in the specific case that we mean Sasha qua Michelle, we know by this redirect that the ''correct'' way to name her is [[Michelle/Sasha]] and seldom just Sasha.
