Customising (change above entities) ...

Change "socials_command" to whatever sends a list of socials.
  Default: socials
  
Change "end_socials_regexp" to whatever will *not* be in a socials line.
  Default: >
 
Change "timer_interval" to be the number of seconds between checking for socials.
	Default: 10 seconds
	
(Note - every "timer_interval" seconds there is a 20% chance that the social will be sent.)

This plugin checks to see if it has a list of socials (in the "socials" variable).

If not, it sends "socials" to the MUD to build a list.

Then, every 10 seconds it has a 20% chance of displaying one picked at random.

Commands
--------

socials:help       - shows this description in the output window
socials:remove:all - removes all socials (ie. reloads the list)
socials:remove X   - removes social X from the list (eg. social:remove burp)
