Knockout flares

In order to ensure that previously announced merchant services were provided at Ebon Gate, those services were divvied up amongst the GM pool. In the course of that process, I was tasked with offering knockout flares. I was glad to offer this service.

Because the approval process took place before my involvement, there were communication issues regarding the rules and requirements for receiving knockout flares. I'm very sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused.

The end result of these conflicting rulesets is that some weapons may have gone out with flares that should not have, while other weapon types were incorrectly excluded from the service options. In addition, some weapons mistakenly retained their blessability. This was not an intended design feature.

I'll be contacting those people who have received knockout flares during this festival to fix this. Rest assured, no one will be penalized either monetarily or "weaponly." This may entail moving flares, changing flare types or if requested, a refund on the cost of the service.

In the future, I only intend to offer fart flares or some other service that no one will be really interested in. Though thinking about it, we could add a second tier to that to allow you to light them...
