Clasping/Locking Update 05/07/2017 10:29 AM CDT
Hi everybody,

The list of containers that can have a lock added to them has been updated (which, in turn, has updated the list of containers that can only be clasped). The following nouns can have a clasp and lock added to them now (many of these were already on the list, but a bunch of them could only be clasped before):

atanika, ataniki, backpack, bag, bankbook, basket, book, burnoose, cape, capelet, carryall, case, casket, cloak, coat, doublet, folio, greatcloak, handbag, harness, haversack, hip-basket, hip-satchel, jacket, kit, knapsack, longcloak, longcoat, manifest, mantle, musette, over-gown, overrobe, pack, pelisse, pocketbook, pouch, prayerbook, purse, quiver, register, reliquary, reticule, robe, robes, rucksack, sack, saddlebag, satchel, shroud, songbook, sporran, tome, tome, toolkit, tube, valise, vestment

These following nouns can only be clasped (because they are too thin or small to reasonably support any sort of lock):

neckpouch, waistcoat, shrug

And for completeness, the following nouns can only have a lock added (no changes here):

box, chest, coffer, strongbox, trunk

Also, since book, tome, folio, and prayerbook are lockable, how about adding grimoire, volume, and codex?

Just so that I can discuss them all at once with the team, are there any other requests for nouns to be added to any of those 3 lists?

For an explanation on why pants and pants-like nouns aren't an option - that one was nixed because of the potential (and this has happened in the past as well) abuse of the messaging regarding opening and closing pants.

Sorry! I don't expect that any of you fine folks would misuse that, but we need to careful about it.

Clearly you haven't met my gnome. If he could OPEN his pants rather then REMOVE them before peeing on boots/shoes, he would.... and you'll never convince me that anyone that has a problem with it is anything other then a prude.

You insult us!

Personally, I always liked keeping my balls in my pants.

>l in my pants
In the spidersilk pants you see a rough brown wood ball.

...though it seems I have misplaced one of them. I'm down to only having one ball in my pants right now. I wonder where I put the other one. It's just not the same with only being able to pull one ball out of my pants. I really should find the other one, it just seems funnier when I take two balls out, play with them and put them away.
