The QUERY command allows you to put in a request to staff to interact with a certain NPC.

Usage

QUERY <npc> <reason or availability>

The query can be as simple or as detailed as you'd like, within a 100-character limit. You don't need to know the NPC's name, or even necessarily have a given NPC expressly in mind. If you can only meet on certain days or at certain times, or have a particular place you want to meet, providing these details can help streamline a meeting, but they're not necessary.

Examples

  • query a barber I need a haircut
  • query donna I need to make a serious bread order, available 9PM
  • query lucy I'd like to meet with her in the pawnshop
  • query the shipwitch
  • query a fisherman To ask what sea serpents eat

Notes

  • It takes 3 presence points to put in a query.
  • Only staff can see lists of QUERIES.
  • The text of the query details is limited to 100 characters because it shows up in the admin view as a concise list.
  • Response times will vary with staff availability, but generally can be expected within a few days to a couple of weeks.
