Changes on 10-20-12:

• Those wishing to have food fit for humans at parties can now type PARTY <food> or, if all your food is on a table, PARTY <table> to keep it fresh for 24 hours. Afterward the normal rotting rules apply and you can't party with that food ever again. EVER AGAIN.
• Thanks to a few brilliant players there is now a mailroom on Narth Polus.
• You can now party with drinks! I hear they do a mean jitterbug.
• Added a new SHIP-OPTION to display starmap symbols in the list of choices when you type SCAN with no arguments. With the option enabled, the output will be: [1] Object Name (Object Type) ( starmap symbol )
