Privchange
This room is of enormous dimensions and regal character. The walls are lined with frescoes depicting the deeds of volunteers past. The floor is a tile mosaic depicting a stylized game of chutes and ladders. Sunlight filters through high windows, half-illuminating the contents. Links lead north to lj_support, west to support_general, south to helpscreening, and east to supportlounge.
lady_angelina is here, pacing nervously.
> PRIV LADY_ANGELINA
But you don't have the privving wand!
> INVENTORY
You are carrying:
a deluxe assortment of chocolates
the crown jewels
an elvish sword of great antiquity
the King of Spain
your lunch money
no tea
> NORTH
You touch the interface and vanish in a shower of sparks.
lj_support
A serious, businesslike room. Most of the space is taken up by a seemingly endless field of cubicles. Lively, energetic individuals scurry from one cubicle to the next, muttering to themselves and clutching pieces of paper covered in apparently meaningless scrawls. A link leads south to privchange.
coffeechica is here with a bullhorn, telling everyone the latest news.
> EXAMINE COFFEECHICA
She's clutching a cup of coffee in one hand and a bullhorn in the other. She seems a bit stressed out. The privving wand is on her belt.
> TAKE WAND
I think coffeechica might object to that!
> GIVE CHOCOLATE TO COFFEECHICA
She accepts it gratefully. "Thanks! This has been a really crappy day." She seems to be struck by a sudden thought. "Oh, did you need this?" she asks, and hands you the privving wand.
[Your score has gone up by 10 points.]
> THANK COFFEECHICA
"You're welcome!"
> SCORE
You currently have 10 points out of a possible 300, giving you the rank of "Plus Account Holder".
> EXAMINE WAND
It's about three feet long, and has a rusty star on the end.
> SOUTH
You key the link interface and travel back to privchange.
privchange
lady_angelina is here, pacing nervously.
> PRIV LADY_ANGELINA
You wave the privving wand at lady_angelina, but all that results is a shower of useless golden sparkles. Perhaps you need some practice with it first?
> DAMN IT
How rude.
> SOUTH
helpscreening
An enormous classroom, with neat rows of desks lined up in front of a largish blackboard. Every once in a while, someone wanders in, sees if anyone has their hand up, and dispenses useful advice.
wrin is here, asking a question about an unapproved response.
> EXAMINE WRIN
The glasses give her a somewhat serious air. She looks as if she could use a syndication I1.
> PRIV WRIN
It would be very rude to bother her while she's still got a question.
> ANSWER QUESTION
Summoning your supportmindread powers, you spend a few minutes clarifying the user's question to explain the approval choice. Wrin nods in understanding.
> PRIV WRIN
A golden glow envelops wrin as she is granted the power of syndication I1! She seems too intent on the next problem to notice, though.
[Your score has gone up by 10 points.]

A small, comfortable room, with a variety of couches, small tables, and machines selling not-entirely-healthy food and drink products.
pennyroyalist is here, posting a "thank you".
> EXAMINE PENNYROYALIST
She's dressed as a bald man, rocking out and looking a bit like a vampire. She could use a syndication I1 as well.
> PRIV PENNYROYALIST
A golden glow envelops pennyroyalist as she is granted the power of syndication I1! "Wow, thank you!" she says. "Think nothing of it," you reply.
[Your score has gone up by 10 points.]

support_general
A large whiteboard fills one wall of this small but well-appointed room, with announcements and information criss-crossing it. People hurry in and out continually, off to the board west of here, or to lj_support to the east.
ursamajor is here, responding to an RFC.
> EXAMINE URSAMAJOR
Wow, she's pretty short. She could use a syn I2.
> PRIV URSAMAJOR
A golden glow envelops ursamajor as she is granted the power of syndication I2! "I already noticed that yesterday," she says nonchalantly. You make a shifty-eyed motion.
[Your score has just gone up by 10 points.]
[You think you could grant an I3 now.]
> WEST
The Board
The board is filled with lamentations and woe. People are sitting in chairs around the walls, waiting for their turn to be helped. A glowing sign reads "Now serving #617189."
fyre is here, leaving a screened answer on a syndication request.
> EXAMINE FYRE
The volunteer, the volunteer, the volunteer is on fire. He don't need no water. He does need a syndication I3 though, desperately.

He dodges out of the way, clearly not really paying attention to what you're doing. "Hey, wait a sec, I'm waiting for this to get approved."
> EXAMINE SCREENED
It looks good. Very good!
> APPROVE SCREENED
What do you mean, approve it as a comment or as an answer?

I'm sorry, did you mean screened #2340900 or #2340902?
> APPROVE SCREENED #2340902 AS ANSWER WITHOUT COMMENT
Do you want fries with that?

(Approving answer #2340902)
