Title : < no title >

Familiars are re-enabled.

Sin has been disabled for nefaricium minions, as sin lust was able to be
reproduced as a source of making your minion attack you. We hope that
this is only temporary, and we are currently thinking of a way to allow
you to have sin with your minions, but I felt that you'd rather have your
minions without sin than no minion at all.

HOWEVER (and this is a big however) this does NOT mean that all sources of
this tyrannical bug are fixed. There may be more that have yet to rear
their ugly head...so you ANY class that has a familiar (warlord, wu-jen,
nefaricium, aohitogusa, and jotun) are using their familiars AT THEIR OWN
RISK. Meaning that, if your familiar bugs out on you and you die, YOU
WILL NOT BE UNZAPPED. So, we are essentially leaving it up to the owner
to decide if he wants to use his familiar or not.

Aohitogusa should be particularly sentient about this, as your familiar is
similar in nature to minion and has a higher probability of bugging out
than the other familiars. If your familiar bugs out, you need to mudmail
me a complete log of the occurence and indicate if you were forcing any
skills (by use of fdo blah).

Again, we hope that the majority of problems are fixed, but as always be
wary for new occurences, that being said, enjoy.
