The code, as it is in FL, lets the immortals just start it. It begins at
a certain time of day (thus the use of weather.c) and ends at a certain
time of day. The immortals just 'turn on the spigot'.
I agree that immortals would be better suited to control various mob, but
if you want a really good invasion, you need to move around a lot of
mobs. Also, you will probably need an immortal to make sure that no
newbie players are getting hurt, unless you WANT that to happen. As to
the players, give them plenty of advanced warning, and let THEM decide.

a Windows 95-based system, in which case we all might live forever. "
