SilenceDeath flag
After a player pointed out vaporization was ignoring the SilenceDeath flag, GM Ivry and I went looking for death messaging that ignored the SilenceDeath flag. Several systems have been updated: vaporization, disintegration in certain situations, death in the Arena/Abyss, and several others. If you continue to see any, after confirming it with someone in a separate location, please BUG OTHER it with “SilenceDeath Messaging” as the title. Thank you!

Basketifier Update # 80 billion, six hundred million, three hundred thousand and eight-two….
Today, after months of searching, I finally figured out why the basketifier can’t be turned into a table in player shops. The answer was simple but completely vexes me. I’ve adjusted.
Additionally, I resolved the issue of forgotten blankets and tables not returning to baskets and being dropped in RECOVER. I really hope folks don’t take this as an open invite to leave their stuff laying around.

Basketier Update # 80 billion, six hundred million, three hundred thousand and eight-three….
Dwarves came after me with pitchforks and folks of the Folly were right on their heels. Good thing I figured out why these can’t work in caves.
You can now set up tables in Caves & Zul Logoth.

Player Written Book Update
There was an issue with player written books that did not allow for the reading of many of the titles. This was fixed this morning. If you submitted a bug in the past week, thank you! Thank you Thandiwe for the fast update.
