nightmare

/whycantisleep nightmare [players] marks the players (yourself, without a name) for a night terror:

  • A player who is asleep has it at once.
  • A player who is awake has it the next time they lie down. The mark is kept on the player, so it lasts if they leave and come back. It skips the usual chance, but they still have to fall asleep.

They wake up shaken, as from any night terror. Other mods can still cancel it through the API's night terror event.

vote

When the players in bed have voted to skip the night, the few who are still up are asked in chat, with Go ahead and Not yet to click. Those buttons run /whycantisleep vote yes and /whycantisleep vote no, which you can also type. A "Not yet" ends the vote for a minute; no answer in time skips the night. See Sleeping together.
