Pets and pals protest powerfully!

Pets and personal loyals have long bemoaned their state as
toys or tools in foozling contests. No more! Foozlers will no
longer find themselves able to simply buy their way to victory
through acquisition of pets of the proper type.

Follow Failure

Worldgamers will find themselves less able to fudge their
foozles (or bandersnatches, or egghunts) by following others
not in the event. Feeling foul about it? Faugh!

Handaxe Help

Some helpless handaxes let out the hue and cry when their
masters were force to throw them away. Oh no! Happily, this
has happened for the last time. Happenstance? No, it was
heroic plannning.

Bed Brainstorm

Beds and bedrooms had been in use to give immunity from
virtually all assaults. No longer! Beds and bedrooms
are private, but not necessarily safe.


Sourpuss Summary
- you should no longer be able to foozle pets or loyals
- you should no longer be able to follow others who are not
in a worldgame if you are
- handaxes are an exception to the selfishness rules and
can be thrown even with selfishness up (as it has been for
some time). Unfortunately, it also meant that handaxe users
could be forced to throw their handaxes TO someone through
selfishness. This should no longer be the case.
- beds are not safe rooms. refer to HELP BEDS for more info,
especially near the end in the section entitled
"Beds, Combat, and Safety vs. Privacy"
