Hi folks!

As mentioned at Tea Time, I'm pleased to announce the release of ESTEEM to Achaea!

This is a long-requested feature that allows you to offer praise for other players' roleplay or to simply share a positive comment or good vibe to let someone know you're having fun without breaking character to do so.

The feedback from esteem is considered fully OOC and should have no bearing upon your character's actions.

Esteem works like so (this can also be found under HELP ESTEEM):

- ESTEEM
- Shows you how many more times you can express esteem for someone today.
- This defaults to 3, 5 for leaders.

- EXPRESS ESTEEM FOR <person> <reason>
- EXPRESS ESTEEM FOR GARDEN <reason>
- ANONEXPRESS ESTEEM FOR <person> <reason>
- Express esteem for someone,
- ANONEXPRESS makes this anonymous but cannot be used for the Garden/a God.
- Note: reasons are mandatory, will be perpetually visible, and must be between 20 and 255 characters.
- Esteeming the Garden or a God will not consume an esteem charge.
- It is not possible to esteem someone you are ignoring, or who is ignoring you, on your own alts, or on someone with esteem toggled off.

ESTEEM <ON/OFF>
- Toggle the system on or off - this enables or disables both sending AND receiving, and has a 1 hour cooldown.

ESTEEM RECEIVED
- View all the esteems you've received.

ESTEEM SENT
- View all the esteems you've sent.

Note: This system is intended to foster positive feedback and encouragement between players and also provide a vehicle for positive feedback towards the team without the need to file issues or send awkward OOC messages to Gods in order to do so. It is not a venue for negative commentary or insults, and I'll be very harsh on anyone who tries to use it for these. Be warned.

Enjoy!
