Olympia: The Age of Gods PBEM (May 4 1999)
admit
admit
who-or-what [`ALL
'] [nation | units] * time: 0 days * priority: 0
Allow units to stack with the specified noble, or to enter the given building or ship. By default, a unit may not stack with a noble belonging to another faction, or enter a building controlled by another player.
The first argument to admit
may either be a noble, building
or ship. If a noble is given, admit
will specify who may
stack with the unit. If a building or ship is given, admit
will
determine who may enter the structure.
There are three cases for the rest of admit
's arguments:
(1) If no further arguments are given, admit
will clear the
permissions for the given entity, and deny admission or stacking to any
foreign unit:
admit ce90 # admit no one to ce90
(2) If a list of units, players, or nations is given, those units will be permitted to enter or stack with the given entity:
admit ce90 778 2960 4240 # allow any member of faction 778, # as well as 2960 and 4240, into ce90 admit ce90 mandor 4481 # admit Mandorians and 4481
Note that if a faction is specified, units within the faction must not be concealing their lord in order to be recognized.
(3) If the keyword `ALL
' is used, then permission may be granted to
every player's units:
admit ce90 all # allow anyone into ce90
A list of units to exclude may follow `ALL
':
admit ce90 all 778 2960 4240 # allow anyone into ce90, except # any member of faction 778, and # units 2960 and 4240. admit all Pen # Admit all, except Pen.
Summary examples:
admit ce90 # admit no one to ce90 admit ce90 all # admit anyone to ce90 admit ce90 778 # admit any member of faction 778 to ce90 admit ce90 all 778 # admit anyone but a member of faction 778 admit ce90 2960 4240 # admit 2960 or 4240 to ce90 admit ce90 mandor # admit anyone from Mandor admit ce90 mandor 2960 # admit anyone from Mandor and 2960
If there are too many units to list on a line with a single admit
order, more admit
orders may be used:
admit ce90 2596 3921 3934 3999 4012 4045 4046 4256 4300
has the same meaning as:
admit ce90 2596 3921 3934 3999 4012 admit ce90 4045 4046 4256 4300
Don't forget to give the entity again as the first argument on
continuation admit
orders! (ce90 in the above example)
Note that in TAG, unlike other versions of Olympia, the first admit order of a turn does not clear the admits for a unit! The only time admits for a unit are cleared is when admit is used with no arguments, e.g.,
admit g83
clears the admit list for [g83].
Only admit
permissions toward the top most noble of a stack are
considered. Other units which do not have admit
permission may
accompany a noble who does.
Admit lists are kept for the faction as a whole, not for particular
units. The admit
order should be executed by the player entity.
