Weaves and re-Weaves

Written by: Clementius, the Weaver

Weaves and reWeaves to ameliorate adventuring, ease the eye, and perhaps
even whittle down the whining!

Some have said that it is indelicate or perhaps even insensitive to
label the final section, below, "Sourpuss Summary". I agree with that
assessment and wish here and now to express all the sorrow I feel about
any harm caused. (*)

To the Weave!
-------------
Trippy Tarot toddlers of the rub and sniff variety were dealt a blow
today as they discovered dark, dastardly developments. Having happily
hoarded death tarot rubs in arena, and smuggled them out to terminate
terrified targets on the outside, they find they can no longer do so.

Chaos Cavorters, plane-wise, may find their travel intentions truncated:
nix on nifty underworld exits, for example! Transcendence cannot carry
chaotes across, save from the prime material.

Stockrooms sigh satisfied susurrations, seeing surreptitious, sly
stockers stopped! Formerly they sneaked silently away, finding that
they'd 'dropped' stuff - but can no longer!

Puppets and dolls draw the line. These mighty mannequins of mortal
mastery maintain that they will only function within their proper domain:
if made in the arena, there alone will they ply their powers. You can
deduce the rest!

Demons sear predictably once again. Drat those target mortals popping in
and out of the realms without a moment's notice! What's a demon to do?
Well, not get confused any longer.

Gold and Top Hats had, till now, such a special relationship, if twisted
and, likely, corrupt. No longer.

Private personages, also known as happy homeowners, should be less
frustrated now when attempting to add room upgrades or remove existing
ones.

Bouncing baby boiler booboos big bad. Justice had nothing to do with it,
whatever you may have seen.

Wayward water weirds welcomed warmly, wallowing wetly? Gurgling screams
came from afar as numerous water weirds (who had gathered for an Achaean
Month of meetings, speeches, and shows of solidarity) wended their ways
to their wide, waterless graves. The problem was that Magi found it
impossible to summon them during this time. No surprise, that, since
they were ignoring their masters entirely. After they were all summarily
dispatched from their meeting place, all was again well.

One more chance to be nagged. Or maybe two. Cities and Houses find
themselves suddenly able to set up announcements that will be quickly
and easily viewed by all who are their members/citizens as they enter
the realms. Fun huh?



Sourpuss Summary
----------------
- death tarot rubs should now be cleared upon entering/leaving arena.
- transcendence should now only work on prime material now.
- qq in stockroom should no longer result in dropping things.
- puppets/dolls in arena can come out, but are not usable outside.
- puppets/dolls outside arena can come in, but are not usable there.
- demon sear should no longer cause problems with disappearing targets.
- top hats should no longer show gold separately.
- you should no longer be able to reliably get gold from top hats.
- room upgrade removal should no longer report your credit gain wrongly.
- room upgrades should no longer report cost wrongly if you are short.
- boil (without what to boil for) should no longer mention justice.
- water weirds should now be reasonably summonable.
- houses can add an announcement for all members entering the realms.
- cities can also.


(*) The title remains anyhow: buck up!

Penned by my hand on the 11th of Glacian, in the year 421 AF.
