If you invite someone to a party and the player is not in the same room,
the command misinforms you that there is no such person in
the realm of BatMUD now, even when he is. Just not in the same
room.
Now - I suggested some time ago that party invites should work
remotely, which was shot down due to some features in a big mob(s)
(more info about that: ask-a-highbie).
But: could atleast party invite work so that when you invite somebody
to a party who's not in the same room, he/she would still get the
invite message AND could the party when the player arrives to the
same room as the inviter. Like you could just put party invite to
all your members and tell them to come to ocp and go get yourself
a cup of coffee or a beer (mmm... beeer....) and people could
join up as they arrive.
