If you want to make act() more useful, consider:
http://pip.dknet.dk/~erwin/letters/act.txt
Implementing such an act system would reduce something like:
act ("You slap $N!", ch, NULL, victim, TO_CHAR);
act ("$n slaps you!", ch, NULL, victim, TO_VICT);
act ("$n slaps $N!", ch, NULL, victim, TO_NOTVICT);
to:
act ("$n slap$% $N!", ch, NULL, victim, TO_ALL);
Roughly; Circle seems to have some other extra parameter after the format
string which MERCs do not.
