Going back to the storm thing:  it really needs some kind of overhaul.

Specifically:  if you can't see OUT of the storm if you're in the storm room, there's no reason you should be able to see INTO the storm if you're outside the storm room.  It's pretty stupid that someone in the storm-free zone can look three rooms south, but the guy one south of him can't even see shit in his own room, much less another 2 rooms farther south.

(Yes, I'm still holding a grudge against the half-giant who "saw" me casting a spell while he was sitting on the road to Red Storm while I was 1 room south in the middle of a TREMENDOUS sandstorm.)

He should have done Weather S first to see if Storm was having its stereotypical megastorm.

What should be done is to change the code to reflect the actual degree of visibility, as Synthesis says.

I in no way agree with Salt Merchant.

I think Synthesis has a terrific idea.

[BleakOne]

I disagree with Salt Merchant and Synthesis.

Malifaxis is utterly correct.

[Qzzrbl]

Methinks BleakOne is on to something.

[Cindy42]

I heartily agree with Obama.

edit: not really, i have no opinion on anything political.

i can't count how many times i've died because of feckin' storms.

[lordcooper]

Cindy makes a valid point.
