Subject More fixes!
OK, I believe TRACK and HUNT have been fixed. I hope I'm not wrong.
Also, no longer will a space be put after your name in your title if you have
a ' as the
first character, (I.e:
[ Minotaur ] Auschmal's thwack ===[ MarinATES ]=== you!
(loves that title!)
You can thank Auschmal for the title fix... I saw the old one and said: "Easy fix!"
Next up: infravision, dropping spaces from emotes (like titles), and other
sundry things.
Have fun,

Subject Languages
I know you've all be wanting this:
Races now have their own languages.
That's right! To say something in the room in your language, use the
'speak' command, or a leading doublequote ( " ).
To say something to everyone (IC), use the command
'icspeak'.
Humans and half-elves speak only common ('say' and 'ic').
Coming soon:
The ability for thieves and rangers have a chance to understand
another language, based on level.
A spell "translate" for mages to understand others.
Maybe an object that will allow it, too? Who knows!
OK, _next_ is infravision... unless I decide my other idea should come
first.... :)
Reorx
PS: Oh, and you might be able to get a skill in another language soon, too!

Subject A couple changes
First off, you might be seeing people with the following clan titles:
[Solamnic] [Crown] Joe Solamnic
[Solamnic] [Sword] Jim Solamnic
[Solamnic] [Rose] Reorx Solamnic
Also, I fixed the problem with color in the speak/icspeak commands.
The other changes are imm stuff, so you probably won't notice.

Subject Induction change
Now, to induct into Crown, you type:
induct player crown
Now, to induct into Sword, you type:
induct player sword
Now, to induct into Rose, you type:
induct player rose
Note that a "induct player" with no subclan argument will induct them into Crown by default.
The only way to change from one to subclan to another is to discharge and reinduct.
I might make it easier later, but it's a low priority.
Oh, and each subclan has their own titles. So have fun.

Subject Some changes for you imms
First off, subclan flags had to be rearranged.
White Robes, Crown Knights, and Lily are "subclan1"
Red Robes, Sword Knights, and Skull are "subclan2"
Black Robes, Rose Knights, and Thorn are "subclan3"
This was necessary as we were running out of flags.
Also, there's a new optional modifier for the "join" command.
For Solamnics, "join player solamnic rose" puts a character into Rose.
If you don't add the subclan, it defaults to Crown.
Also, those with the "set" command, there's now the "bsteel" and "bgold" options for
banked steel and gold, respectively.

Subject Just a little admin tool
Ok, I added in a little (very) function that everytime we type 'omni' it
will record the total count in a file with a time stamp on it.
Eventually I hope to end up with a database (and some graphs) of when we
have the majority of the players on and what not, so maybe we can schedule
some Imm shifts so at least one Imm is on during those peak hours.
Anyways, what I'd like from you all is for you to type 'omni' without any
parameters at least once a session if you could.
I wanted to put the function in 'who' but realized that with differing
levels of invis I'd get conflicting values at the same time and it wouldn't
be accurate.
sorry for the sloopiness, but I suck at notes :P

Subject New flags...
I got bored.
There is a new room flag, "SILENCE".
You can't say, speak, ic, yell, or shout while in a room marked silence,
unless your an immortal.
I'll also make it so you can't cast a spell in a room marked silence unless you're
an immortal, as well. (I'm tired, and I forgot that part).
So, in the works: "silence room" spell, which flags the room silent.
And yes, once aff2 is added, "silence person" spell.
Other flags: Added imm, resist, and vuln fear flags.
Right now it doesn't do a damn thing, but it will, soon.
Oh, and there's a room flag, fear, as well. For "grisly scenes"....
(That doesn't do anything, either, but I thought I'd tell you about them
so you wouldn't get confused.)
And yes, Kender are IMM_FEAR automatically....

Subject Lots of minor changes (and some big ones)
OK, first thing you probably notices were the *'s in the who list.
That signifies which ones of you are Pkill.
Next, a small command that a few have wanted: "title default"
Another change was the clan title changes for Grey, where each subclan has their own titles.
Speaking of clans, the "clan" speak command has been changed a lot....
Let me know if you like it.
Another small fix: You can no longer hear yells and shouts while sleeping.
Oh, and a small change to the "charm" spell: A charmed mob loses all aggressiveness
after being charmed, so if it loses charm, it won't accidently get you in trouble for a
OOL PK... (had a couple requests for this one, and I was happy to do it. Sure, it has
a down side, but still....)
There were also some other changes, but you probably will never notice them, until we
decide to permanently imp them.... some features I have in but aren't really used.
That's about it for now.
Expect the next BIG change to be even BIGGER!

and axes can now split (destroy) your shield. Watch out!
Dodge now generates several different messages.
No space after a , or ' if it's the first character of an emote.
You will no longer be quested to kill a mob that's charmed.
Demilon's area has been added. (He won it in the Deck of Many Things quest).
You can now see what you're sending during a clan message, and you can't clan when
sleeping, as the page won't wake you up... :)
You can no longer hear a "speak" when sleeping. (*bonks self*)
Fixed a few minor bugs here and there, as well.
OK, the NEXT one will be big, I promise.

Just put in some new code for Traps on objects. Now, before you open
that neato chest you just killed the head monster to get to, you might want

can be opened, can be trapped. And some of the traps are pretty
nasty. Thieves now have two new skills available to them:
Detect Traps, and Deactivate Trap. Detect traps works like peek, when you
look at a container, it checks your skill, and if you make the roll (and the
object is trapped) it tells you. To deactivate a trap, you just type
"deactivate
