Going something (past tense gone)

This is the action which allows people to move from one room to another, using whatever map connections and doors are to hand. The Standard Rules are written so that the noun can be either a direction or a door in the location of the actor: while the player's commands only lead to going actions with directions as nouns, going actions can also happen as a result of entering actions, and then the noun can indeed be a door.
