- IMPORTANT NOTE:
    Salvage is being disabled for a few days until we can get a new system in
    place to handle it. No salvage will be obtainable from normal, salvage kit
    drops until then. I have removed Snippen from Aur-Vindi for the time being.
   
    With salvage disabled, Nodeka's overall performance has gone way up and the
    lag spikes have finally decreased. We will implement a new system as soon as
    possible which will avoid the problems of the previous system. Thank you for
    your patience. =)  - Whim
   
    Additionally: the Trials involving larval gate-maws and Skrythe obviously are
    not completable without salvage kits. I have temporarily disabled them; if
    you get one of these Trials, it will fade immediately, and you may refollow
    the Orator for a new one right away.

  - Salvage:
  - Redid internal salvage AI to help improve overall MUD performance.
  - Salvage drop rates in all areas have been moderately increased.
 
  - Trials:
  - Winning the Trials of Karmova is now worth 1 less RP point.
  - Each completed Trial now earns you 1 RP point instantaneously.
  - Winning the Trials of Karmova as a True Impartial will now earn you a number
    of RP and pracs that is not static, as it is for Morals and Immorals, but is
    based on which team you chose to aid. Aiding the LOSING side (that is, the
    side that the sliding scale favors) will earn you more RP and practices, and
    aiding the WINNING side will earn you less of each. If the scale is not in
    either side's favor, your reward will be equivalent to the base amount.
  - Greatly increased the favor that the losing team must earn in order to swing
    the scale back to the center at double-speed, when the scale is in the favor
    of the team that won. (This means that the team who the scale is favoring
    will not lose their favor bonus so quickly unless the opposing team gains a
    lot of favor as well.)
  - Upon a reboot, the sliding scale value for the Trials will now be saved and
    carried over through the reboot. If a Golden or Dark Age is in effect when
    the reboot hits, that also will be carried over. Finally, if the Trials are
    still in progress when the reboot hits, your favor scores will be carried
    over, but only in increments of 10% (give or take 1%). Thus, if your team
    had 27% favor before the reboot, 20% will be carried over.
