A couple of folks have assisted regarding their EG enhancive items crumbling upon the final charge being used up. This is normal function and is intended. You can recharge them through the bounty system before they crumble, but if you use it up, it's gone.
That being said though, it appears I failed to make the auction quality blazestar items non-crumbly, which is NOT intended. If you are the owner of one of the FIVE auction-won blazestar headworn jewelry items, please ASSIST and request a referral so that your auction item can be fixed to not crumble.
(If your item doesn't have a loresong, it's not one of the auction items.)
I apologize for the inconvenience.

New options for backpacks, boots, helms, sacks, satchels, kilts, shields, armor, skirts, cloaks, rings, amulets, pants and robes have been added to the autoscripter. Further, the proprietor should recognize a few items as allowable for having an autoscript added that he might have ignored before.

Wehnimer's Bakery Seeks New Recipes
Author: GS4-TALISKER
Date: 12/15/2006 4:56:18 PM
The Fessel family has been making and selling the same food items for generations and they're bored! Not only that, but they've noticed a marked decline in business over the past few years. After a lengthy family conference, much shouting, and a very messy pastry fight, they've agreed it's time for a change.
Following the lead of Mayor Stennis, with the recent contest for redecorating the Thrak Inn, Gert Fessel has decided to jump on the bandwagon. And, opportunist that he is, Gert's even managed to talk the Mayor's staff into handling all the mail for him. Thus, effective immediately, Gert has announced his own contest!
Rules:
1) Entries will be accepted from Wehnimer's Landing citizenry only. Full citizenship is required and will be verified.
2) Only one entry per "family" (i.e. account).
3) Food suggestions must fit the 15/15/15 (article,adjective,noun) format. If you're unsure about how this works, type ALTER in game.
4) Food suggestions should include an idea of how the item will taste (sweet? tart? sugary? spicy?).
5) Submissions MUST include: a) Character name and b) Game instance (GS4 or Plat).
6) Entries must have a subject line of Bakery Contest and be submitted at GS4TrophyRoom@aol.com.
7) All food items should be in genre and contain reasonable ingredients (i.e., no M&M cookies, pizza rolls, PopTarts, etc.).
8) Submissions should be foods traditionally found in a bakery (breads, cakes, pastries, pies, cookies, etc.).
Prime and Plat will be judged separately. Entries will be voted upon by GS4 Staff. The prize for the top five entries will be a standard item alteration (see alteration rules) and a baker's dozen of your food item (to enjoy or share with others) one week prior to it being added to the bakery menu. Entries will be accepted from now through the end of the year (12/31/2006).
Here's a chance to get your favorite baked goods sold right in your own home town!

Raechaer Receives Late Shipment

Archmage Raechaer recently announced that a long delayed shipment of certain magical chalks was received this evening. She is proud to announce that long pieces of chalk, useful for those wishing to attempt planar shifting, are now available for sale to all customers. She vigorously denies the rumors that almost immediately started circulating that she also has a small supply of higher quality chalks that she's saving for her close friends.

Elemental Detection and Untempering
Author: GS4-NAOS
Date: 12/7/2006 12:41:26 PM
Wizards should find that the Elemental Detection (405) spell will now indicate that an enchanting project is in the process of being untempered after having a sarmoc potion applied to it.
Wizards should also note that an application of sarmoc typically requires one to two hours to work its magic, and should check often if they are in a particular rush to remove tempers from an enchanting project.

Drunk Bug Fixing

A number of the bugs that were plaguing the drunk system have been addressed, namely the ones that had dwarves and others who should be able to drink like a fish be light-weights. ;-) Also fixed were a number of typos, missing phrases, and the like. Feel free to BUG again should you see anything that I missed.

TROPHY ROOM REMODELING CONTEST
Author: GS4-TALISKER
Date: 12/2/2006 3:11:25 PM
Hear ye, hear ye!
In response to a recent petition, not to mention numerous missives directed to the attention of the Mayor, the following proclamation has been issued:
>Greetings, Citizens of Wehnimer's Landing! The terrible damage done to our beloved Raging Thrak Inn has too long stood as a reminder of the ravages of war. No longer will we allow this sad state of repair to blemish such a fine historical landmark. Effective immediately, the Town Council will be accepting proposals for repairs and renovations of the Trophy Room.
>When submitting said proposals, citizens should bear in mind the overall atmosphere of the Inn, the proud heritage and history of this fine establishment, and the appeal to future guests whose silvers will compensate the town for its redecorating efforts. Each citizen may enter the contest only once. The contest will remain open for a fortnight, at which time all entries will be reviewed by the Town Council and a winner selected. Prizes will be awarded for the five submissions that garner the most votes.
>More information will be announced soon, through the usual sources.
>Signed by me this 2nd day of Eorgaen, 5106,
>Stennis, Mayor of Wehnimer's Landing
OOC: A contest is being held to repair the damage done to the Trophy Room of the Thrak Inn during recent wars. The contest is only open to those individuals who hold primary citizenship in Wehnimer's Landing. Each citizen may submit one entry (that's one entry per account). Entries will be accepted by e-mail, at GS4TrophyRoom@aol.com, for the next two weeks. The contest will close on 12/15/2006. Winners will be selected by staff members and prizes awarded for the top five entries.
Grand Prize: A basic item alteration and your choice of either a) a feature alteration or b) a customized "swear" verb. Normal alteration rules apply.
Runner-up Prizes: A basic item alteration. Normal alteration rules apply.
Things to keep in mind: The room description should be no more than 500 characters in length, including spaces and punctuation. Imagine a photographic snapshot of a room and describe what the room contains or what a person would see in the snapshot, not what they might feel or imagine. The room furnishings should be similar in nature to other furnishings found in the Inn and/or invoke the image of a medieval setting. Tribute can be paid to the past, but ICE age terms should not be used in your submission.
Prime and Platinum entries will be judged separately.
Your entry should include the following information:
Game Instance: (GS4 Prime or Platinum)
Character Name: (Name of the character who will accept the prize, if selected as a winner)
Description: (How you would like the room to look as well as any features you'd like to add, such as a wastebasket, working firelplace, etc.)
Good luck!

New Winter Sport - Corpse Sledding!
Author: GS4-TOLLI
Date: 12/2/2006 1:28:12 AM
We're happy to announce that a new winter sport (or summer sport, since the snow never melts!) has come to Pinefar and Icemule.
Find a nearby corpse, and try your hand at corpse sledding! We recommend PUSHing them down the rocks at the top of Nightmare Gorge for best effect.
See the Icemule Trace topic for a bit of a preview of how the sport came to be.
