How do I make a cookie?

To make a cookie, every user can use the command:

make-cookie <furrename>

There are a given number of cookies that can be made per day: Regular furres can make cookies 3 times a day, and Silver Sponsors and Associates can make cookies 12 times a day. The count of how many "proto-cookies" (uses of the make-cookie command) are left, is reset every morning at 5AM (FST). All cookies that anyone has in their possession are wiped out at this time (5AM FST). (Anyone logged on and having a non-zero number of cookies receives the message: "[%] Mischievous kiwis have stolen all your cookies and eaten them!")

make-cookie cannot be used to give cookies to yourself, or to any character that matches your U= or IP address. It also cannot be used in the first 10 minutes after logging on Furcadia (to discourage people from making several alts to give out more cookies). Using it before that will result in the message: "[%] I'm sorry, your cookies are still baking and aren't ready to give out yet!"

To make someone a cookie you need to be in the same map/dream as them, and you need to be able to see each other. It should display the message to everyone who can see the recipient: "[%] <furre1> just gave <furre2> a cookie." Furres that do not want cookies can type: cookies-reject, which flags them persistently unless they ever type: cookies-accept. Giving cookies to someone with their reject flag on shows the giver a  message, and nobody else, which reads "[%] <furre2> is not accepting cookies." Dream owners can type cookies-off and cookies-on to totally disable the cookie commands in their dream.

Anybody who has  9 cookies or less, has them all displayed as separate symbols in their description. If they have 10 or more, it displays at the number followed by a single cookie symbol. For now, we'll arbitrarily limit the number of cookies a player can receive to 50; we may raise that limit at a later time. If a player tries to give someone who's "full" a cookie, the message will read: "[%] <furre2> can't carry any more cookies right now!"

How do I give a cookie?

give-cookie <furrename>
This command allows you to take a cookie you have already received, and give it to anyone you can see in the same dream you are -- even if they ARE on the same IP and/or U= you are, and if you just logged on 2 seconds ago. It prints the same message as make-cookie, but it now takes the cookie away from your cookie total. (If you don't have any, it prints "[%] You don't have any cookies to give away right now!")

[TOP]

How do I give out a secret cookie?

secret-cookie <furrename>
secret-cookie <furrename> <message>
This only displays a message to the giver and the receiver: "[%] You just gave <furre2> a cookie." for the giver, and "[%] <furre1> just gave you a cookie!" or "[%] <furre1> just gave you a cookie! It has a note attached which reads: <message>".

How do I get rid of cookies?

eat-cookie
This commands allows you to consume one cookie, and prints a random fortune for the furre that ate it. munch-cookie does the same, but prints "[%] <furre> just ate a cookie!" to everyone present.

Are there synonyms (alternative commands) that I can use?

All commands have synonyms with no - in them.
makecookie, givecookie, eatcookie, munchcookie, cookiesreject, cookiesaccept, cookieson, cookiesoff, and secretcookie.

How do I see how many cookies I have to give away?

The "info" (type: info) command should be modified to show how many more cookies you can still make today (if any).
