Commands

A partial name match can be performed with ?<part of name>. For example, ?rapier will return Strike Rapier if he is in AWTeen. Note that this does not support wildcard characters (? and *)

A user's session number (found with h:uid) can be used by writing $<number>. For example, $1198 will return a user with session number 1198.

References by citizen number can be done in one of the following ways:

• To find just one person via citizen number, use #<number> (Example: #314753)
• To find users accessing a citizen's PPW, use #+<number>. This will not include bots. (Example: #+314753)
• To find bots running from a citizen's PPW, use #&<number>. (Example: #&314753)
• To find bots and users on a citizen's PPW, use #*<number>. (Example: #*314753)

Tourists cannot be referenced with this.

Avatars now are assigned unique identifiers within Hermes' internal avatar list, known as an avatar's index. This is available for referencing using @<index>; index numbers are shown in h:uid as ix=#. For example, an avatar with an index of 27 can be referenced with @27, and will appear as ix=27 in h:uid.

^<name> can be used for a wildcard search; ^?at would return cat, bat, rat, etc.
