Tattoos and new things

As everyone's probably heard by now, we've had to rework how
tattoos are handled internally. There should be no difference in
their use however so don't worry. In the conversion process we ran
into a few snags, and as a result some people have more tattoos than
they should really be able to have. This is okay, because you can
still only use one of each type at a time (no 4 or 5 boars all going
at the same time or anything like that). The extra's will just work
like spares for when the current ones get wiped off or fade.

On to the more interesting bits, we have some new features:

We now have a tell history. Useful for those moments of horrific
spam. To see the most recent tells you've recieved, type TELLS. To
see the full tell (if it's abbreviated) type SHOWTELL <#> where <#>
is the number you see to the left in TELLS. To clear your history,
(though this isn't really necessary), type TELLS CLEAR.

You can now unally and unenemy everyone on your list at once.
UNALLY ALL or UNENEMY ALL to use this.

New method of speech: chanting. CHANT blah blah blah to use it.

CON, CONSIDER is a mildly useful command mostly for helping diku'ers
in the transition. Right now it just gives an assessment of a player
(if you have that skill) and their might compared to you. When done
on a mob, it gives the general toughness message of the mob.
CONSIDER <mob or person> to use it.
