Is it possible that in addition to the auto-close at armageddon arrival, also
chests could _try_ to close again just at shutdown? I know it may not be as
reliable because sometimes wizzes crash game before final boot, etc...but it
might remove some of those situations where you're chesting after armageddon
arrives, and something makes you forget to close a chest/coffer/cabinet/closet/
etc

Maybe we should also make them every minute after armageddon arrives? Or
better yet make Armageddon send mass-tells every 10 seconds "Did you close ALL
chests?" "You will lose eq if you don't!" "Please, close your chests!", etc..
Come on, give me a break.

^o^

Buy me a link that is guaranteed to be up, and fine...i usually chest well
before boot, but I've had at least one time where i've been in mid-chesting
when armageddon arrived and my DSL decided to disconnect. Yeah, maybe I should
be acting more like in the days 10 years ago where you chested hours before
boot incase transatlantic links went down or such...but things have gotten
mostly better these days, and they could very easily be made ever so slightly
better yet. It's silly that the chests even close at the 10mins before boot,
they should just close just before shutdown anyways. I assume that the
auto-close is just an ugly hack for the case when the wizzes run armageddon
then crash the game, but there surely could be a more correct/elegant solution
implemented.
