1. They don't own the trademark for mafia.

2. This isn't mafia.

3. The game is older then Town of Salem.

And? Look at any other mafia site and you'll see similarities. I mean, I guess we are breaking copyright laws for having customizable cosmetics in-game. Or you know, actually making the game a version of Mafia in the first place.

Many games will be similar to one another. Mafia can only be of variants with roles, honestly.

We should sue those Puritans in Massachusetts back in 1692, that'll teach them to not copy Town of Salem.

*Players may now craft Sacks. Before you go asking for sack of nails and/or every single sack in the game keep in mind that I'm hoping to limit this to categories related to the gardening profession alone. Other storage options may be needed by other professions, but I am not convinced 'sacks' is the solution for all storage woes all the time.

*Mannequins will no longer take your backpacks or your tool belts. Check upcoming patch warning for future changes to belts in general. Mannequins still have a few quirks as related to this change, mostly graphical in nature. This also caused us to have to entirely disable belt graphics, but again given that belts are going through an overhaul soon I'm ok with this as a temporary solution to get least get the mannequins to a place where we can test and see if their new functionality is indeed a vast improvement.

*Tool Belts now have more slots. They were originally implemented in a day and age where you had less tools. Now that there are simply more tools in the game it felt reasonable that they scaled more appropriatley.
