Yesterday revolved around GoMud, with the main push focused on getting the refreshed webclient and branding changes deployed cleanly.

Recent visible #gomud discussion centered on GoMud balance tuning for the CackalackyCon area, two code changes that were committed and pushed, and a safe live deploy workflow for the Oracle ARM VPS. startup logs showed mapper rebuild, UserIndex recreated, plugins loadedCount=16, HTTP starting on 8080, and Server Ready
