Greetings, Adventurers! Welcome to week 6! When we decided internally to form the team and do weekly releases, we put together a handful of smaller projects to pull from in case "the unexpected" or "we need to shift to this thing and other stuff is backburnered for a bit" hit us. Other GMs have also donated projects for us to use, too. With the current promo going for returning players and the events and activities going on for everyone, strike team is pulling from our reserves this week. Before there's alarm over that statement -- rest assured, we're not sitting on a stockpile of unreleased hunting areas or anything similarly substantial! Our reserves really are smaller things, as you'll see! Let's get on with it! This week, we've got a pair of QoL updates: 1) A project donated by Ynami (and previously unreleased updates from another GM) -- the junkyard mechanics were updated to include a few more verbs to help those of you who end up visiting it. APPRAISE, BREAK, COUNT, LOWER and UNTIE should now be usable! 2) An update from me to the FLAGS verb to help with the custom login/logout messages. There are two options here. First, the FLAG verb now has an option to let you toggle your personal custom messaging completely off or on -- this affects what is seen by those in the same area as you as well as the arrivals window. There's also an option for you to disable seeing others' custom messaging for the arrivals window only. You'll still see the area messaging if you're with someone. Next week, I think there may be a bit more hunting for folks to do! Zadraes (for the team!)
