IDEAs and Bugfixes - Feb. 18

Addressed to: Everyone
The team and I have been working on a fresh batch of IDEAs and bugfixes! Here's the details of the latest changes:
* RANKINGS SEAMONSTERS is in! Prove your dominance over the foul creatures of the sea and make sure everyone knows about it.
* The status of being a novice has been expanded to include a play time component. This does not apply across all areas of the game at this point, but does apply to CITY NOVICE commands, and PICKPOCKET protection.
* Novices are now considered "on-plane" when they escape from the Pygmy dungeons, so they'll be able to hear your calls of congratulations over the various channels.
* REMOVE ARTEFACTS has been added.
* ENVENOM has been added to the Pranks skill
* Retired characters are now classed as dormant immediately, in terms of rankings, elections etc.
* Retired characters will now cease ignoring people when their retirement is approved.
* LEGION EXPAND CAPACITY will now inform you how big your new legion capacity is when completed.
* CITY COMMS commands are no longer restricted to the city council chambers.
* QUEUE PREPEND will now run the queue if it could normally do so.
* Attacks in Curses and Evileye will now be more forgiving when specifying the affliction. For example Stupidity and Stupid will now work.
* Serpent snakes will now respect multiclass changes correctly.
* There is now a plane-wide message when a city destruction tank explodes.
* Many small fixes to city destruction were implemented, improving the reliability of tank detonation.
* Star sigils item naming is now more in-line with other sigils.
* SHOW TIREDNESS has been added.
* LIMERICK (Voicecraft) has been moved lower in the skill.
* PLUCK EAGLE (Concoctions) will now look for unplucked eagles, in cases where there are multiple options.
* Many small tweaks and improvement to the server-side curing system, including giving adventurers full control of when/if to sip health and better handling of defences when afflicted with stupidity.
* IMPROVEMENTS balance time has been reduced.
* REVERT can now be used to unmorph adventurers.
* REVIVE (Reclamation) can now be enacted with RECLAMATION REVIVE as well.
* DISTURB (Weatherweaving) duration will now correctly reset to full duration on re-cast.
Enjoy!
