Help Entries starting with 'K'

• @kick <number>

This wizard-only command forces the immediate execution of <number> items from the queue. Rarely useful. If your MUSH is lagging badly, chances are high that it stems from network problems. Check the queue before using this command.

Flag: KEEPALIVE (players)

When this flag is set on a player with a telnet-capable connection, a telnet NOP (no-operation) is sent after there's been no activity on the connection for a minute, to generate socket activity without generating any output. In a way, it's the opposite of the IDLE command. IDLE is sent by clients to keep a connection open, while KEEPALIVE tells the server to send a message. Both are intended for use by people going through home router/NAT appliances with short inactivity timeouts.

• kill <player/thing>[=<cost>]

Attempts to kill the specified object. Killing costs <cost> pennies, which gives you a <cost>% chance of killing the player. Thus, spending 100 pennies always works (except against wizards, who can never be killed). If you don't specify a cost, the default is 10 (i.e. 10%). The player, if killed, receives <cost>/2 pennies in insurance.

You can not kill a player in a room that they control unless you also control the room. Only wizards can kill players in rooms which have been set HAVEN. This command may be disabled in this MUSH.
