Pending change to starting contact

As a trade off, lets bring back HP loss when you use the way!

Although, in a serious vein, it would be nice if assess -v started showing stun levels after they were below 50%.  IE no message before then, then increasing stages of wooziness or whatever.

so, if someone's true-name is Amos, "contact Amos" provides a bonus.

If they are a tall, muscular man, "contact tall.muscular.man" provides a bonus.

Would "contact amos.tall.muscular.man" provide even MORE of a bonus?



Actually, contact doesn't need the spaces, you should do:  contact amos tall muscular man, and yes that would provide more of a bonus than just amos.

This went live with this morning's reboot.

What happens if we do:
contact tall.muscular.man.amos?

Does it still work, or will the code give you an error?

If it gives an error, I'd like to request a code change addition so that it also allows you to do that.
Why?
Because it keeps the contact code more consistant with other existing code (the emote code)
I'd also like it to keep the old functionality of contact, so that old players don't need to learn new code.

If it doesn't give an error, and still allows for it to work, then we're in the clear!

It won't give you an error, but you currently won't get a bonus for each keyword.  Next reboot, it will.
