2) S-Desc : an unfinished object The short description of an object is used by the MUD when the object is acted upon. For example, a short description of "a long, green stick" would result in messages such as "The building assistant picks up a long, green stick." The Short Description should never end with a punctuation mark or begin capitalized because it will be inserted into the middle of sentences. For short descriptions, always use "the/a/an/etc." unless the item has a proper name. Examples: "Excalibur" "the wooden barrel" "an emerald bracelet"
