I have two forms of announcement. In one, it is given like a story.
When I make these announcements, invariably a dozen or more tell
me how much they appreciate it, and one, or sometimes two others
insist that they cannot bear to read through the story to get to
the details. I was going to characterise these people as impatient
and sourpusses, but have decided not to at this time.

Today, I write for that one or two who for some reason complain
only when the announcements are given as a story (but never thank
when they are given dryly and without story).

- design extendlife times have been expanded a fair amount
(from a max of 150 months to more like 250 months)
- design extendlife costs are now half of what they were till now

- critical hit rates should now be restored to where they were
as of an Achaean month or so ago.

- STOP should work for a SOUL now.

- Sometimes when a kick/punch/headslam missed, the message SEEMED
to indicate that the target was dodging. This was not the case.
It will also not SEEM so any longer. A miss is a miss, not a
dodge.

- references to oldcraft are no longer present.

- get golds, however incorrect it may be, does work now without
causing errors.

- magma caves are indeed underground. they didn't seem to be
for a time.

- IR was showing "lady's slipper r". No longer!

- item decay is now much much faster, and much less likely to
cause a painful 8-16 second lag about twice every Achaean month.

- house appoint should work as documented.

- messages received in some clan command tried to tell you that
no such person existed, but in a very odd way. Fixed!

- strip is after sear now, where it always should have been, in
the relevant ablist.

- entering a snake house will cause loss of a previously-existing
snakish loyal.

- inspiration didn't always go away. It does now.

- leaving class now wipes all existing traps in realms for that
person.

- yes, mark members do get a short period of grace. this is how
it should be.
- selfishness should now keep you from putting things INTO
furniture.

- kneeling now gets you off your mount.

- order standguard vs order standguard permanent do give clearly
different messages.

- get plant from pipe used to do something strange. no longer!

- clarification: _YES_, we know that in a number of cases,
practitioners of a skill can see abilities beyond their current
level in the skill (note that I did not call it a skillset).
We know that this is the case, and will be fixing all skills
(not skillsets, and not skill sets) over time. For now, perhaps
a third to a half of all skills has been fixed.

- can't summon demons if graced.

Oh, the list goes on, but that's enough for now.
