THE LANGUAGE OF SIMBALA
Your commands should always start with
a verb and be followed by a noun.
Multiple nouns may be separated from
each other by means of a comma or and,
such as:
TAKE THE AXE AND THE SWORD.
TAKE THE AXE, THE SWORD, AND THE BOX.
TAKE THE AXE, SWORD, AND BOX.
TAKE AXE, SWORD, BOX.
(It's not necessary to end with period)
Several actions may be included in one
command, but they must be separated by
a comma or the word THEN. If, in a
string of actions, a noun is repeated,
the noun may be replaced with IT. For
example:
TAKE THE BOOD THEN READ IT.
TAKE THE BOOK, OPEN IT, THEN READ IT.
OPEN THE BOX AND THE POUCH, THEN CLOSE
THE DOOR.
TAKE ALL
will result in all articles being taken
Instructions should be specific. HIT
THE NAIL may elicit the response WITH
WHAT? The complete command would be:
HIT THE NAIL WITH THE HAMMER.
The instructions for complicated tasks
should be entered in logical order. For
example, you can't sail the boat with-
out first saying UNTIE ROPE...but if
you untie the rope before you enter the
boat, it will drift away.
To speak to another person enter:
TALK <name> or ASK <name>
If a person or creature speaks to you
start your answer with the word SAY
such as SAY NO (quotes aren't needed)
To get information say- ASK ABOUT <the
topic>. When you need Hawkwind's help
enter ASK HAWKWIND or TALK TO HAWKWIND.
