The Igors have had a get together and discussed all manner of work related things before getting down to some serious partying with games such as "Stitch the second tail on the Donkey", "Operation" (with live patients) and, a new favouritye this year, "Crocodile Dentist".

The "describe" command now has a new syntax that allows you to control the order that zone descriptions will appear when someone looks at you. If, for example, you want your eyes description to appear first, then your hair, then your legs, you can use "describe zone order eyes, hair, legs".
