Nuku smoothly says, "When fighting megas, the odds of getting a reward are now _divided_ by the area's energy, meaning fresher areas give more odds of tasty tasty rewards."

Nuku smoothly says, "Being in professional mode no longer prevents sending mercs or prompts warnings."
Nuku smoothly says, "Typing party now shows if you are available, or not, to be hired without prompting as a merc."
Nuku smoothly says, "Checking party will now also prompt you on what to type, and even give a link if you can support that, to toggle things. This command does not yet exist"
Nuku smoothly says, "The command now works. You can toggle your open merc status at will."
Nuku smoothly says, "party command now tells you about a new command (which doesn't yet exist) to link open mercs. Is linked when available. Is colored if not."

Nuku smoothly says, "party merclist now says how many total open mercs are online, even if some are hidden for various reasons."
Nuku smoothly says, "Possible reasons: They're lower level than you. They're an alt of yours. They already have a merc out, or they're partied."
Nuku smoothly says, "Doing a party merclist now clears at least one case of false-merc locks quietly and automagically."
Nuku fixes a bug in terminal.
Nuku smoothly says, "There is now a 10% chance when you die of being told about party merclist. Yay for hopeful newbie intuitive guidance."
Nuku smoothly says, "Command for staff to see who's connected to what now shows who has pueblo going or not. This is a secret. You didn't read this. Shh."
Nuku smoothly says, "Reminder! Using mushclient? See help pueblo for how to get it turned on, and you can enjoy those links I've put all over to make the game easier."
Nuku smoothly says, "Fixed an error that prevented manually joining as a merc."
Nuku smoothly says, "If someone is offline or somehow an invalid thing is set as the summoner, a merc will be released. Be freeee"
Nuku smoothly says, "Got an open merc? Go idle? 5 minutes of idle or more and they may wander off. Nothing stops you from re-calling them, but this keeps the list moving for active folks."
