Turf Social Writing Guide

=== Social Requirments

Socials are eight lines which bring a little fun and ease into conversations.
If you wish to make Socials for Turf then the requirments below must be met.
More socials are not a necessity for Turf therefore only those submitted
in the correct form will be put in.

Your social should look like this when you send it in.

	accuse
        Accuse whom?
        $n is in an accusing mood.
        You look accusingly at $N.
        $n looks accusingly at $N.
        $n looks accusingly at you.
        You accuse yourself.
        $n seems to have a bad conscience.

To break down what the above means:

        accuse				-This is the social word.
        Accuse whom?			-This is the answer you get when you
					 type the word accuse.
        $n is in an accusing mood.	-This is the message other people in
					 the room get when you type the word
					 accuse.
        You look accusingly at $N.	-This is the message you get when you
					 type the word accuse and the name
					 of a person in the room.
        $n looks accusingly at $N.	-This is the message that others in
					 the room (except the person you
					 are accusing) get.
        $n looks accusingly at you.	-This is the message the person you
					 are accusing gets.
        You accuse yourself.		-This is the message you get if you
					 accuse self or accuse 'your name'.
        $n seems to have a bad conscience. -This is the message others in the
					    room get if you accuse self or
					    accuse 'your name'.

If you do not want to give a message to yourself or people in the room
than NULL should be put where the sentence would have been.  As like below:

        french
        Kiss whom?
        NULL
        You give $N a long and passionate kiss.
        $n kisses $N passionately.
        $n gives you a long and passionate kiss.
        You gather yourself in your arms and try to kiss yourself.
        $n makes an attempt at kissing $mself.

But even the above NULL could be avoided with something like this:

	$n puckers up $s lips.

Seen to everyone in the the room as 'Mtf puckers up his lips.' (That is
when Mtf types kiss without a name of who to kiss).

So we can see that NULL really is not needed though it is available for
those who wish to use it.

The NULL is not something to be used regularly.  Once in a social is more
than enough for what would a social be if it was mostly NULL.  Think creative
and NULL should never be needed.

The $ followed by a letter is detailed as follows:

$N  -Means other persons name (usually the name of the person other than your
     self which the social is being done to or at).
$n  -Your name
$m  -him/her/it
$s  -his/her/its
$e  -he/she/it

Use of the above are shown below:

This is when the person typing is Mtf and the person in the room is only
Cera.

You giggle at $N.	-Typed: giggle cera.  Seen as to Mtf 'You giggle
			 at Cera.' (Cera being in the place of $N).
$n gasps!		-Typed: gasp.  Seen to everyone in the room as
			 'Mtf gasps!' (Mtf being in the place of $n). 
$n glares around $m.	-Typed: glare.  Seen to everyone in the room as
			 'Mtf glares around him.' (Mtf being in the place
			 of $n and him being in the place of $m).
$n flips you over $s shoulder. -Typed flip cera. Seen as to Cera 'Mtf flips
				you over his shoulder.' (Mtf being in the
				place of $n and his being in the place of
				$s).
$n gasps as $e realises what you did. -Typed gasp cera.  Seen as to Cera
				       'Mtf gasps as he realises what you
					did.' (Mtf being in the place of
					$n and he being in the place of $e).

So there you have it the complete guide to writing socials.  I hope this
will help those interesting in writing more socials for Turf.

Any questions should be sent in a note to Cera.

Thanks
