The STRIDE verb has been expanded to allow moving in any of eight styles: angrily, confidently, boldly, purposefully, briskly, reluctantly, slowly, or quickly. These styles apply to all types of striding: STRIDE RIGHT, RIGHT LEFT, STRIDE BEHIND, STRIDE AT, and striding in any cardinal direction. Visible players, objects, and creatures are now all viable targets in all cases. Unfortunately, you cannot set one of the styles if you use the default STRIDE movement option; they are intended as one-off options. Walk on!

This is fantastic! There plans to add an update like this to any of the other MOVEMENT styles?

This was more of a "Oh there's a really easy bug fix in the STRIDE verb. Hmm, I wonder if I can..." kind of thing. So there were no plans to add an update like this at all, really!

Maybe MARCH?

Ooo march. Here are some suggestions I guess!

Crawl, limp, trudge, stumple- frightfully, pitifully, painfully, determinedly, agonizingly
March- same with Stride, but also stiffly, ardently, rapaciously, gallantly, halfheartedly
Sashay- gracefully, flamboyantly, rapaciously, slinkily, alluringly, poshly
Skip- cheerfully, happily, with frenetic glee, lightly, boundingly
Sneak- gracefully, hesitantly, warily, determinedly, noisily (for funsies), surreptitiously, fearfully

etc and etc and adverbs errywhere! Either way, Vanah you're awesomesauce.

Hi, Vanah. I love the updates!

One potential bug -- I could be misremembering, but I think using the BEHIND modifier without a target would make you take a stride a few steps backward. When I use BEHIND in this way, it defaults to stride forward.

Doop, you're right! This is fixed! Sorry about that!
