or if it could respond to "Rubia throws a" instead of "Rubia throws her" (head back and cackles)

Sadly mobol doesn't work like that

Yup, it would see RubiA THROWS. And for people without an A in the name: Bobby THROWS his heAd back etc.

I've asked if we can change the throw message, but we could also change the social. Like to "tilts" head back. All socials need to be reviewed, which is just so much work that someone periodically asks imms to do that and then... nothing happens. We're all busy with the day to day stuff and with however many socials there are, oof.

Why not use the tear dwellers mobol that eats the projectile instead? Or is that coded into those mobs? Also you have the gholam style mobol that can heal, just heal on % after throwing instead? Or like the dagger shop in FM has mobol that just makes it so you can't use the throw command...

Yeah, it's due to throwing messages, which are pretty sparse compared to most other messages.

E.g. Bobby throws a throwing knife/ dagger/ spear/ javelin/ axe/ other.

vs all the varieties of Bobby places a dagger in xxx back, resulting in some noises and blood.

So, anti-throwing mobol, which needs to be a thing, otherwise people solo stuff they shouldn't be able to, can only work off "throws".

Compare this to cackling:

Bobby throws his head back and cackles with insane glee!

And tadaa, we have this.

It's my guess. Generals also aggro when you cackle

wait really? cackling triggered that full patty to aggro me?

Some mobs hate it when you cackle

cackle
You cackle gleefully.

Before the Throne
The black marble of the floor breaks into a marvelous sunburst of golden
beauty before thick carven doors, marking this the entrance to the throne
room of Murandy. To the west, habitually open glass doors lead to a long
tunnel of yellow blossoms. A shining glint of silver at the southern end of
the hall reflects from the Gallery of Mirrors. In the east wall, heraldry
paints the accolades of the throne, divided by a black mask set into stone.
