IDEAS -- feel free to comment on these!
Tea: make the invisible flag visible on locate object... If you can find it and have
detect invis, you should be able to tell it is invis...
Badman: only allow channel commands with an argument, like with tell... It's annoying
when you catch the . or @ or q or anything like that whilst playing and it wipes the
history of a genuine question, etc...
Badman: allow potions that can hold more than one dose of spells...
Badman: you should be able to donate body parts as food
Badman: don't make drunkenness effects as chronic when you revert to 'you are neither
hungry nor thirsty' - Lots of people manage to eat kebabs when drunk...
Iori: heroes should be able to follow mortals until lvl 5 since it's too easy to gain
a lvl 2...
Disaster: how about a beeph command, to see any beeps we may have inadvertently missed?
Badman: indicate in 'affects' when you are full, i.e. too full to eat pills or food
Badman: make a mob spec that automatically picks up and wears all types of eq
Badman: infravision should work with the exits command as well as with scan
Extreemist: maybe we could have a config option that tells us when a tick is coming up
