- Use form three when there are many instances of <thing> present, and you want to applaud one of them in particular.

As is typical of most TriadCity commands, Applaud searches for <thing> in a specific order, starting with the room you're in, then your worn or wielded equipment, then your inventory. So, if there's a box in the room, and a box in your inventory, the command "applaud box" will refer to the one in the room, not your inventory. You'd need to use "applaud 2.box" for the latter.
Applaud can be modified with an arbitrary word of your choice. Usually you'll use an intensifying adverb as shown in the examples above. Note that Applaud does not use this modifier as a search specifier when looking for <thing>. Instead Applaud displays this modifier via the Game channel. Thus you can "applaud loudly", "applaud enthusiastically", and so on. You can also "applaud 18373649" or "applaud toothpaste-like", so, please don't. It's up to you to get the syntax right.
