The lovely ladies of Elanthia may now express themselves with more (or less!) decorum through a variety of new styles when curtsying without a target or to a player target.

Available styles can be seen via CURTSY HELP and are: AWKWARD, BOB, CURT, CONTEMPT, DANCE, DEEP, DEMURE, FLIRT, FLUSTERED, FORMAL, GRACEFUL, GRAND, HURRIED, MOCKING, PAINFUL, PLAYFUL, POLITE, RESPECTFUL, RUDE, SLIGHT, STIFF, and SUBMISSIVE. Players with racial, cultural, or citizen settings may still access those special settings via the default CURTSY.

Ladies who find themselves missing one or both legs will no longer be able to curtsy. Attempting so while curtsying AWKWARDly or PAINfully will cause the lady to fall, while curtsying GRACEFULly, GRANDly, FORMALly, RESPECTFULly, or SUBMISSIVEly will result in a graceful arm gesture in lieu of a curtsy.

BOW and CURTSY have both been expanded to have HOLD and JOIN options. HOLD will bow or curtsy to the target and either invite them to join your group or, if already grouped, offer them your arm. JOIN will bow or curtsy to the target and take the target's arm, joining the target's group similar to the DANCE verb. Normal group mechanics apply.

Thank you to players on accounts ANEWMAN, ARSENAULTL1, CHIVERST, DAKARRA3, DOUG, KALLINDRA, KRAKII, and LUNATUNES and to GameMasters Keios, Naionna, and Sherlise for the suggestions!
