Spatch says (to gunther), "basically a 6-year-old girl was murdered a
year and a half ago. basically it's thought her parents did it.  she was
a 'beauty queen' at 6. stuff like that."
help @lock

The @lock command is used to control which players
can get a particular object or pass through a particular
exit. Locks can refer to both players and objects. If
a lock refers to a player, then that player can use
the object. If a lock refers to an object, then the
player can use it if the player is carrying the
specified key. Objects and players can be combined
using & (AND), | (OR), ! (NOT), and ( and )
(parentheses to group expressions).

If players are mentioned in the lock, it is crucial
that an * appear before the name of each player.

To clear a lock, place nothing on the right-hand side
of the = sign.

Usage:

@lock north = *jessica
@lock south = (!*roger) & blue key
Gunther exclaims (to Spatch), "Eeeagh!"
help @succ

Sorry, there is no such help topic. Try just typing help.
inky says (to Gunther), "oh, you missed it? it's dragged out fawking
forever here"
Gunther gets it now.
help @success

The @success command is used to establish a success message
which the player will see when successfully attempting
to get an object or use an exit. See also locking,
substitutions, @lock, @osuccess, @fail, @ofail, and @odrop.

Usage:

@success north = The key fits! You turn the lock and pass through.
TenthStone glares hostilely around, realises no one's paying attention
anymore, and cries.
Adam says (to Gunther), "http://www.duke.edu/~adamc/idx.html"
help @fail

The @fail command is used to establish a failure message
which the player will see when unsuccessfully attempting
to get an object or use an exit. See also locking,
substitutions, @lock, @ofail, @success, @osuccess,
and @odrop.

Usage:

@fail north = The door won't open without a key.
Gunther ignores TenthStone.

You say (to inky), "Thanks."
help substitutions

Commands like @fail, @ofail, @success, and @osuccess set messages
to be displayed when a player fails or succeeds in manipulating
an object or exit. To make sense, these messages must contain
the correct pronouns. The following substitutions are available,
and output the correct pronoun or name depending on the player's
flag settings and name:

Substitution    Name                  Outputs
%s              subjective            he, she, it, or name
%n              name                  name
%p              possessive            his, her, its, or name's
%a              absolute possessive   his, hers, its, or name's
%o              objective             him, her, it, or name name
%r              reflexive             himself, herself, itself, or name
%%              percent sign          %
%c              carriage return       [produces a newline]
%0              argument              [the argument given to the exit]
%#              player's dbref        [the dbref of the player]
%!              thing's dbref         [the dbref of the exit/object]

If the above substitutions are capitalized, the output will
also be capitalized.
