I've been given clearance to add more styles for dwarves using the GRUNT verb. If you have suggestions this would be the time and place to make them! I can't promise that any or all suggestions will be used but I can promise that they will at least be seen. I don't have a deadline but definitely hoping to release these before the end of the year. So git yer gruntin caps on!

DISAPPOINTED - Gnurr grunts and frowns in disappointment.
LOUD - Gnurr lets out a loud grunt!
QUIET - Gnurr grunts quietly.
VAGUE - Gnurr grunts, waving his hands vaguely.

If I could get a little more greedy (the gleam of silver in his eye!), it'd be fantastic if we could get something like the SIGH syntax for single-word modifiers:

GRUNT WITH (NOUN)

>grunt with disappointment
Gnurr grunts in disappointment.
>grunt with interest
Gnurr grunts in interest.

GRUNT TONE (ADVERB)

>grunt tone vaguely
Gnurr grunts vaguely.
>grunt tone incoherently
Gnurr grunts incoherently.

I love the GRUNT WITH suggestion for dwarves. It'd add so much versatility to the verb.

And the stream that falls from the hill to plain.
Better than rain or rippling brook,

Oh yeah, the GRUNT WITH/GRUNT ADVERB is a 1000000% fantastic suggestion, in a big batch of great suggestions.

A giant white bunny hurls a powerful lightning bolt at you!
You evade the bolt by a hair!

I am always wanting to grunt your welcome at folks. Usually end up going with satisfaction instead.

-->Grunt frustration

You grunt in frustration after logging into the forums, but having your password refused for the game because 'CAPS LOCK' was on.

(I'm not sure who gets messages in billing, but you can ignore that 'I might need a password reset' message I just left.)

-->grunt embarrassed

You grunt embarrassedly as you cheeks flush and your beard shifts, realizing the whole world now knows you panicked before checking for the obvious.




So - maybe - the descriptions can be shortened.

You grunt, amused - wondering if anyone noted the built in dwarf joke.

A dwarf warrior grunts in greeting.

A dwarf miner grunts in ennui.

A dwarf warrior urgently grunts.

A dwarf miner grunts, a quizzical look on his face.

A dwarf warrior joyfully grunts and motions for a drink.

A dwarf miner gleefully grunts in agreement.

A dwarf warrior jovially grunts, indicating to follow.



The additions to GRUNT for dwarves have been completed.

GRUNT HELP will now bring up the verb's help menu.

There are now TONES dwarves can use to embellish an expanded list of STYLES.

There may be one or three easter eggs to be discovered.

Go forth and git yer grunt on!

I cannot confirm or deny the existence of such an option or that it has been fixed.

Thanks, Clunk.
