3/14/2011: Seppuku (minor code changes)

[Jay Luo]

I did some tinkering with the code for seppuku today, which hopefully should now cause the seppuku of members of your dynasty to appear in your Emerald Empire newsfeed. Exception: the deaths of extremely low level characters won't show up (to avoid potential spam if a player decides to repeatedly seppuku at level 1).

How a samurai dies is often as important as how he or she lived, so I'd like to do what I can to make such deaths as dramatic and noteworthy as possible.

I seppuku'd my character a bunch of times to try and test this (although I cleared all the spam this created in the event logs), but please do let me know if you notice any problems.

Awww it somehow felt right for you to be a Hare. Still, now you're a Dragon Kitsuki I feel proud ^^. How odd

Oh fine. I have a question... In december my former character commited sepukku (I wasn't satisfied with her achievements). Anyway, I made a new one, with the same name (Mitsouko). Is it a problem?

[Kitsuki Yuushahime]

I cannot speak officially but I've never read anywhere that it is a problem Mitsouko. I think you're probably fine

Boy oh boy, all the creators are Dragon clan members, bias much? (J/K)

^-^ Our ways are enigmatic and powerful. We understand the mysteries of the world... or something like that. Seems we even make the mysteries now! Wahaha
