[CF-Devel] Scorn Sale Shop - items end up under tables?

[crossfire-devel at archives.real-time.com]

I've subscribed to the maps list now for map discussions. I posted
that original message to crossfire-devel because I was wondering
about the items ending up under the tables being a server code thing.
This message is also going to the maps list. Please reply on the
maps list to discuss this further. TIA!

I understand about too much "free" stuff. Before I make changes lets
allow the existing map to stay there for a week or so. If it looks
like there is too much junk accumulating in the "charity" area I will
change it to where the items are removed at a reset.

However, I sat in there for an hour today wearing God Finger and
watching. The stuff in the charity area seems to be turning over
rather quickly. One player even grabbed everything that was there and
then sold it. If I want to drop some nice rings for newbies to take
for free I like the idea of having a place where I can drop them for
free and they don't disappear in a couple of hours. That was my
reason for creating the 10 unique tables.

If your concern proves unfounded then I will replace the tables with
unique floor tiles in an updated map. A thought - what if I used a
floor tile but changed the face to a table? Is that workable?
