Notion 1: I’m undoing my (rather cool) purchase of Motley—if you followed what I had done, I went Ashore via an open Adventure, having misread the following in an attempt to save myself from drowning:

While The Inquisitor is at port, Swashbucklers may move Ashore. Those that are Ashore are then able to:-

While The Inquisitor is at port, Swashbucklers may move Ashore. Those that are Ashore are

then

able to:-

The last sentence would clearly permit me to get what I needed. However, the use of the conjunction ‘then’ with ‘while’ (somewhat clearly) entails that we must be at Port. Ach. I recant my illegal deeds. ;)

Notion 2: The IRC applet appears to work. For the novice, interesting commands may be found by typing /msg nickserv help. I recommend (if we keep it up) that you register your nickname by typing /msg nickserv REGISTER NICKNAME PASSWORD EMAIL, where the last three uppercase words are what you think they should be.

I also wrote a really ugly, hackish (and probably easily broken, I’ll make it more robust later) script to update the sidebar each minute to reflect how many people are in the channel.  I’ve had enough of this and am going to bed. ;)
