A quick question:

If sleeping players are in the coat closet,
what is the body bag for?

Sleeping players aren't in the closet, they're in the body bag.  They
used to be in the closet, but when a mud gets large, the amount of time
it takes to transmit noises made in the closet to the sleeping players
(which noise is just discarded, but *does* make the relevant verb calls
first) begins to make it so that all noisemaking tasks run out of
ticks/seconds.  Players are transferred to the body bag from the closet
upon disconnection, and to the closet again upon connection.
