Title : Character transfers

Short version: Player transfers are no longer legal.

Longer version:

For a while, Tsunami policy has been to allow a limited number of player
transfers if approved by the administration. The main reason for this is
that we previously had difficulty tracking the association of players to
their characters they played (relying almost entirely upon the connection
ip). T This made it very difficult to enforce whether people were trading
characters on the 'black market'.

Recent adjustments have made things much easier to track and I believe
that things such as 'play stye' and 'typo frequencies' are hard to fake
no matter what your skill.

With this in mind, I feel we can safely outlaw character switching and do
a decent enough job enforcing it.

From now on, sharing passwords or allowing others to use your character
for any reason (temporary or permanent) is illegal and will result in
removal of the offending character and probably secondary penalties to
other characters.

Thank you all for your patience with this. Past transfers will of course
remain in effect, but I think everyone will be happier if the names stay
with their owners.
