Player-submitted ideas

Because we love new things as much as you, we've also added a new batch of player-submitted IDEAS! Here's all the details:

* Dragons can now DEMOLISH WALL <direction> to get rid of the first icewall or stonewall it finds in that direction. The previous functionality to demolish specifically an icewall or a stonewall still remains, should they wish to target a specific type of wall.

* Clans that now have yearly dues will now have a key indicating this in your CLAN LIST.

* INFO RIFT will now show the full names of the contents of your rift, if your screen width is set high enough to fit it.

* Mutual friends will now be able to cut past the Veil of the Sphinx defence of their friends.

* New rock, paper, scissors wins will be tracked in your STAT STATS.

* Refilling a vial from a tun in a shop will now show you how much gold you spent on it.

* Only the active captain of a ship can give the order to cast off from a harbour. If you are not the active captain of the ship, you must assume command before you can cast off.

* Probing an empty container will now show you how many items it can contain.

* ALIAS SET <alias name> <alias command> will now do the same thing as SETALIAS <alias name> <alias command>.

* We've changed one of the messages about feedbag level on a mount to more appropriately indicate that the mount has years of food remaining.

* New config option: CONFIG DEPOSITMSG ON|OFF - You will always receive a system message when a deposit is made by another person into one of your personal bank accounts, even if you are currently online.

* ARMOURLIST will now show you if you are wearing any of the items that are listed there.

* We've changed the wording on the message displayed to other people in your destination when you leave the wilderness/subdivision to make it more clear that you are arriving from the wilderness/subdivision.

* You can now use CLAN <clan name|#> HELP <orghelp command> to access the organizational help structure for a clan without first having to switch to that specific clan.

* Items that reset to random locations in the world should now no longer reset to some of the newer newbie-only areas.

* New command added to the Vision Lists ability: PETLIST - Displays a list of the locations of any living denizens that are loyal to you.

* Artefact spectacles will now respond to the PUSH, PULL, and TURN emotes.

* New army command: ARMY RANK - Shows you your current rank in your army.

* The ARMY syntax reminders should now only show you the commands you have access to.

* You will no longer see other people's titles when you send them tells.

* Laying multiple charges (as in CITY CHARGE MULTIPLE) will now show you a list of the charge IDs that are created with the command.

* New command arguments have been added to aliases, allowing variable information to be added into your server-side aliases. These are set to use %1, %2 and so on.

For setup, try this: SETALIAS awesome say hey %1, %2 is awesome!
To use it, type this: awesome {Sarapis} {Tecton}
Which means you'll do this: say hey Sarapis, Tecton is awesome!

%0 may also optionally be used to match everything outside of the braces ({}).

Penned by My hand on the 6th of Ero, in the year 675 AF.
