Change to Campaign and Miscellaneous Updates

Written by: Estarra, the Eternal

Addressed to: Everyone


Campaigning for Sanctuary and Crusade during village revolts has been
changed. It is now on a timer, and the campaign will disappear on its
own after five minutes. The campaign will also disappear if the player
leaves the room. For five seconds after the campaign is gone, both the
player and room will be unable to start campaigns of any kind. Please
see CAMPAIGN for the new syntax, as it has changed.

- The Faerie Fire/Illumination affliction was not being removed properly
on its own. It has been corrected, and will be cured after two minutes.

- You will no longer be able to demesne center between different
aetherbubbles.

- Being peaced, pacified, or having the lovers affliction will no longer
prevent you from using targetted SAYs and EMOTEs.

- You will once again be able to die (with dignity!) after throwing up
your innards due to vomiting.

- There is a new message for when Drink(Night) ticks and cures your
afflictions and health.

- You can scry into manses once more.

- Previously, people would be left in the dark if a freezetag game was
initialized. Rest assured, you'll always be informed now if an arena has
started this fun event.

- The ablaze affliction will now be persistent if given by a mob. Sorry,
those hot flames aren't putting out themselves!

- People watching the recovered victim from a Bubble(Aquamancy) were
curiously left in the dark as to who, in fact, came out of the bubble.
This has been corrected.

- You'll once again correctly be able to FAMILY RELATION your great
grand niece/nephew and your half-siblings.

- You will not lose willpower if you try and influence a target not in
the room.

- Flux will no longer push you into a Nexus on the Elemental Plane.

- Herbalists will no longer be able to plant herbs outside of their
proper environments.

- Evade(Stealth) will not bypass Barrier(Telekinesis).

- Certain skills were triggering damage from powerspikes, even while
unusable by means of being off balance. This has been fixed.
