3.7.1 Posing

Poses provide a means for your character's emotes to be persistent for a time If an emote has a pose associated with it, then using that emote will change the way others in your room view you. For example, PACE has the pose "pacing." If Jeremy types in PACE, in addition to doing the standard emote, He will now appear as, "Jeremy is here, pacing."
 
Poses will be removed/replaced anytime you do another emote (whether standard or custom), move, perform an aggressive action, meditate, sleep, or use the UNPOSE command. Also please note that others may not see your poses if other things that change your description (like artifacts or the fact that you are seated) supersede them.

In addition you can do custom poses and emotes. Keep in mind, people who abuse custom poses will be permanently banned from using them.
 
CONFIG POSES ON/OFF 
Will turn auto poses from emotes on or off for you.

CONFIG POSES VERBOSE 
Will allow you to see a message telling you what pose you have just assumed via an emote. (This will also show up in STAT)

POSE <emote>
This will change your pose to the one associated with that emote and "freeze" it, without displaying the emote.

POSE <custom pose>
This will set your pose and anyone looking at you in the room will see this message. In place of your name use the ^ symbol. For example: Holding a large sword, ^ stands here, covered in blood. 

POSE NONE
Remove your pose.

POSE ITEM <item> <text>
This will allow you to set the room description of an item in the room with you. You must use the name of the item in the description. For example, "POSE ITEM book A book has been left open on the table here." will work properly. "POSE ITEM book An item has been left open on the table here." will not work, as it does not use the name of the item in the description.

POSE ITEM <item> CLEAR
Remove the pose of an item.

WARNING: Admin receive messages when you set poses on items. We also log personal poses, but we do not review them unless they are reported to us. If you abuse custom posing we will remove your ability to use it. This is include poses that break with the fantasy or are obscene.
