Yeaaaah, so about that...
Tells: tried it when I made this or some other help file. That doesn't work for some mobs for whatever reason.
Typing help: not going to work here either, as that only works for a specific kind of mob, and normal mobs, including Argle the RPmob aren't it. And no, we are not going to put that type of mob at every location that needs a help file, because you're talking hundreds of rooms that all need to be done individually. Any change of fix would equal doing that to tons of rooms, and that is assuming all rooms have space, so not an option.
We're trying to go for consistency, in a game that refuses to be consistent (I wish I was joking), so some variety of the current setup has to be it. So "help xxx" or whatever. But what for the xxx...? Help mobol wouldn't be intuitive for new players. Help room doesn't cover it either.
I could at best put a mobol block in that catches the word help and other letters and then not fire, so only saying the word 'help' would trigger it. But then a newbie who says 'help please' or 'help good sir' would be SoL.
