Social verbs from Nine Princes in Amber
To start things off in my new location, I’d like to reproduce some of the “social verbs” from Nine Princes in Amber.
Does every verb get used in a thorough fashion in the game itself? No, unfortunately, but one has to appreciate the sheer gall of a game that has PROPOSE ALLIANCE WITH ERIC as a sample command.
HOSTILE: accuse, challenge, defy, demand, deny, insult, refuse, reject, shout, snarl, spit, sneer, threaten, yell
FRIENDLY: ally, bargain, calm, compliment, enlist, flatter, greet, help, join, hug, negotiate, offer, placate, support
NEUTRAL: ask, admit, beg, bluff, bribe, confess, discuss, explain, laugh, lie, mention, plan, plead, propose, say, shrug, smile, stall, surrender, talk, tell, wait, wink
RESPONSE: disagree, maybe, no, nod, ok, sure, yes
