races have the 'you feel like blah blah goes uncon/satiated/new level'. so you
can see when people on your friends lists need help. you guys choose the exp
cost

Possibly you could write something in your client that would grep your friends
out of 'detect misery' output.
Possibly you could do something like:

command w west;grep -q 'uncon' finger whyi;grep -q 'uncon' finger aloysha;grep
-q 'uncon' finger jenming;grep -q 'uncon' finger antonius

(and the same thing for the other directions, of course.) It's sortof
stressing the server, but it's possible to approximate that ability that you
want.

That's the WORST solution ever suggested in ideas-wanted to replace a
suggested feature. If I have 150 people on my friendslist and will implement
the solution you provide, you'll probably feel it immediately. finger command
doesn't only display a few lines of text, it does a huge amount of calls to
check this and that on the player. You gotta trust me on this, you DO NOT
wanna do it this way.

^o^

That'd mean races with empathy would make their empathy useless, since you can
pick any race and just add friends into your list. Unless of course you can
turn it off and people who are added to list are informed that someone adds
them to the list and you can decline the offer, so nobody is added to friend
list.
