suggestion regarding character deletion
Having just deleted a character, I noticed something that could be improved. The current deletion gump says:
============================
DELETE A CHARACTER
Are you sure you want to delete this character?
This is IRREVERSIBLE!
Type 'Delete' into the field to confirm
Are you sure you want to delete this character?
This is IRREVERSIBLE!
Type 'Delete' into the field to confirm
============================
Assume the character is named "Sally Slicer". My suggestion is to improve the gump as follows:
============================
DELETE A CHARACTER
Are you sure you want to delete Sally Slicer
Are you sure you want to delete Sally Slicer
(from the third slot)?
This is IRREVERSIBLE!
Type "Delete" into the field to confirm
This is IRREVERSIBLE!
Type "Delete" into the field to confirm
============================
The main idea is to provide extra feedback on which character would be deleted. Include their name. You can take this a step further by identifying which slot the character is in. This would be especially useful for the strange among us who might give multiple characters the same (or a very similar) name. The most minor enhancement is to use double quotes around Delete. I believe single quotes are for quoting within a quote. Alternatively, embolden the word Delete and don't use quotes at all.

I could see mistakes eventually being made though
