As I mentioned earlier to use char_data because of what happens to those who go linkdead. Same applies here. If a player is linkdead, his desc_data is NULL, but his char_data is still valid. Which means the player_list is still valid for that player, however thier player_list->desc_data is still NULL.

Not that it's a huge deal, but I'm having problems seeing much value in having a seperate list of things that can so easily be extrapolated from the descriptor list. Just wondering how y'all use this, for my own information. Also is it just me that's offended by the 20 week dating/waiting period? What if you just know it's love at first sight? It is a fantasy game after all. I mean sure you can buy a sword and go around killing people with no wait, but you want to get married and The Man keeps you down.
