Both if there are two. Also, I'd need to know if untraining works like for
the other blades, i.e. a rank for a rank or not.

Good idea. I already keep the time of the last evaluation internally (so I
know which one is most current in case of untraining, also saves me from
needing to know each one). Keeping a list should be easy to add. (Also for
other things, it'd be interesting to have X-over-time graphs for many things
- coins, ranks, etc.)

That said, I'll probably hold off on that at least until we have a working
beta with a usable interface :-) I' rather give people something quickly
that replaces Scribus well, before adding too many new things.

Oh, small bug that isn't easy to get around: When trainers start bowing to
you, the evaluation won't be recorded anymore, since it's then spread out
over multiple - possibly not adjacent - log lines. I just started to have
one trainer bow to me, I'm not sure if they continue to do that as I
progress, which would suck. Anyone know?

Another thing: I've added profiling to the debug target, but when I look at
the output file in the profiler, it doesn't seem to make a whole lot of
sense (i.e. there are things clearly missing that are being called, and
there is some random garbage being displayed.) Someone who knows MW
Profiler, please take a look at the calls in main().

Thanks,
Lark
