Hiya folks,
I've just released a new verb - Taunt - to Plat and Prime tonight. TAUNT HELP will give you some options for use, and when I finish up work on the Paladin spell Crusader's Challenge it will be used to activate part of that spell's effects.
The taunts used by this verb are non-verbal taunting poses, so be prepared to follow it up with your own favorite insult, or a hasty mock. Many thanks to an unnamed GM who wrote a number of message sets, and to GM Abasha for handling the QC. Enjoy!

love it, i think i'll be using 3 or 4 of those often...
suggestion...
taunt person/creature with item too?
taunt apple with fork
You point a sharpened ivory fork at a bright red apple while staring sternly at it.
taunt leopard with fork
You lift your arm and stare down its length while pointing a sharpened ivory fork at a long-fanged snow leopard.
taunt cyia with fork
Taunt what?
[Syntax is TAUNT {style} {target}. See TAUNT HELP for more options.]

Yeah, there's a parser issue dealing with players and WITH parsing. I actually figured out why it doesn't work and have a slight rewrite to get around the issue. TAUNT now uses AT rather than WITH, so if you are using an object in your taunting, taunt <object> at <target>. Should work for all target types.

Seems to be a bug in this part of it when there's the same item in the room as in your hands:
>taunt wine at lavi
You thumb your nose a few times in 's direction.
>taunt wine at lavinius
You thumb your nose a few times in 's direction.
He saw:
Lyathe thumbs her nose a few times in 's direction.
Player of: Lyathe and Saslisena
