251 (NEWS 438) - Dozing Update
By Alara: The strobscure() function has been updated - no longer using a totally static list of words I came up with 10 years ago, it now utilizes a snapshot of Webster's dictionary and an @http call to a webpage which, when run, repopulates the list on the Communication object. Note - simply using strobscure() will not actually update this list. Rather, the SAY command triggers the http call to update randdict. An example of strobscure() is used in the Dozing room of the dreamrealm where one may hear random snippets of things being said, and some words may be different than what the speaker intended.
