Why does this destroy internal consistancy? The renames are private
to the characters that assign them. Thus while Bubba may do the name
assignments you see above, and would then see those names about the
dolmen, Boffo would still continue to see the same old original names
as he as *not* assigned new names.
Note also that I don't give NPC's names. They may state that they
have names, and may encourage players to use those names, but the
system will not report a "You see XXX here." until the player has
assigned XXX to that body.
>(*) does anyone know who Knknkqqkl *was*, BTW ;)?
<ponder>
It rings bells for one of the characters in "The Far Sea".
