All has not been quiet over the holiday season, I present to you this
list of the some of the recent changes to all things Achaea.

- We have completed a major rewrite of the emote system, correcting many
bugs that existed in the old system.

- The way pluralisation of multiple items of the same type has been
reworked. If you notice any irregularities, please file a BUG.

- Devotion blessing was moved from REJECT BLESSING to RENOUNCE BLESSING.

- The first of our changes to tekura damage and accuracy was made this
week. It is not overly noticeable in most situations just yet, but will
be of more importance as we continue with further tweaks.

- BBT received an upgrade, should you connect with multiple BBT's in a
short period (Your next coming within 10 seconds of the last,) it will
instantly kill the target.

- Foozles have had a small facelift with over 200% more items being
added to the possible foozle-able pool and some long-standing bugs
corrected.

- SHIPRETURN no longer works for those in World Games that do not allow
major movement types.

- When someone files and issue against you and then deletes the issue,
you are notified that it has been deleted.

- Using IH, CITYTELL, HOUSETELL, QUICKLOOK no longer remove
prismatic/nightingale barrier (now matches the use of INFO HERE, CT, HT,
QL.)

- Baalzadeens, when summoned, now appear at the same elevation as the
summoner.

- Attempting to SWING UP or DOWN, now correctly states that it fails
when you are webbed.

- When the effects of dizziness say that you fall over, you now actually
fall over.

- Planting kelp on land no longer makes you act like you are diving
underwater to plant it

- The target of a contract gets a message on the expiry or the
nullification of the contract.

- When you are following someone who SWINGs UP or DOWN, it now correctly
states that you follow them into the trees or to the ground

- When trying to put more items into a container than you hold, it now
correctly states that you hold no more of the item rather than stating
the container is full.

- Falcons can no longer retrieve living creatures and can also no longer
CIRCLE whilst indoors.

- Added ability for clan leaders to be able to invest the APPOINT power
to another clan position.

- Corrected corpse immolation so devotion was gained by the immolator.

- Being blind no longer stops one from hearing things at the universal
membrane.

- You can no longer prism to yourself or someone in the same room.

- You can no longer DIG in rooms where the ground has been frozen (to
match BURROW ABOVE).

- Non-House Leaders can no longer attempt to resign from the House
Leader position.

- Souls no longer cause key sigils to activate.

- Tentacle tattoo now correctly removes its victim from their mount.

- Prism tattoo messages now show on the correct elevation (matching
traveller and target.)

- EMPTYing a bucket of water on someone else will douse any flames on
them.

- Being mounted on a mount that can fly or a demon chariot now allows
you to follow someone who is flying.

- TOUCHing an object now requires you to be at the same elevation.

- Cleansing an hypnosis action is no longer case sensitive with respect
to how the suggestion was implanted.

Stay tuned for the announcement of some exciting things over the coming
weeks!
