KEYWORDS
Mob aliases, and object namelists are keywords the player will use to
interact with the mobs and objects. Such as "look Rusty" and "wield bludger"
If you have more than one keyword separate them with spaces, not commas. They
should never include colorcodes or the words "look, look at, a, an, the, of,
some, etc." Only use keywords a player can figure out by the s-desc, l-desc,
d-desc, or extra descriptions. Always make them unique, there are already
plenty of swords and citizens on most MUDs.
