Diplomacy!

We've implemented a number of extensions to enemy status to help
organization leaders more easily handle enemying and unenemying. These
options are available for enemyships to cities, communes, guilds,
orders, and clans. Guilds that can handle enemying to associated
organizations (such as Nightspirit for Shadowdancers) can also use these
commands to manage enemying and unenemying to those organizations.

New options available:

o You can record comments about an enemying, which the enemy can't see
but your organization leaders can.
Syntax: DIPLOMACY <org> COMMENT <person> <text>

o You can record notes about an enemying which the enemy can see (and
so can your organization leaders).
Syntax: DIPLOMACY <org> NOTE <person> <text>

o Whenever someone is enemied from here on, the date, reason, and
person who did it (if any) will be recorded, and can be reviewed by
the enemy, or organization leaders. Unfortunately, we can't fill
this information in for previous enemyings (though if desired you
could record similar information with COMMENT or NOTE commands).

o When you enemy someone, the reason you provide for your logs will
also be shown to the enemy.

o You can set a number of months until an enemying will automatically
expire. Setting this to 0 will make the enemying permanent again.
Syntax: DIPLOMACY <org> EXPIRE <person> <months>

o You can set a number of months of temporary amnesty during which the
enemyship will not be in effect. Setting this to 0 will cancel the
amnesty early.
Syntax: DIPLOMACY <org> AMNESTY <person> <months>

o You can set a fine, and the enemy can pay this fine to automatically
be unenemied. Set it to 0 to remove the fine so they can only be
unenemied by organization leaders.
Syntax: DIPLOMACY <org> FINE <person> <gold>
Note: you must do this standing in your bank. Fines will be
deposited into the organizational account in that bank, or in the
case of cities and communes, in the Steward's ministry account.

o Note that if a person does something that would automatically enemy
them, such as kill a loyal denizen, any EXPIRE or AMNESTY months, or
any FINE set, will automatically be cancelled.

o To review the full details of a person's enemying:
Syntax: DIPLOMACY <org> <person>

o To review the full details of your own enemying to an organization:
Syntax: DIPLOMACY <org>
You must be in the Hall of Records to do this.

o To pay a fine to be unenemied to an organization:
Syntax: DIPLOMACY <org> PAY FINE
You must be in the Hall of Records to do this, with gold in hand.
