level to write notes. Not every board has the same messages as the last,
but some boards can share the same notes. Each set has a unique name.
Example:

The following notes are on the Public board:

you speak in your default language, unless you change it with the speak
command. There is no gaurantee that you will not be overheard by people
hiding in the room you are in.

NOTE TO IMMORTALS: Immortals speak languages so that all can understand
them, and they understand all languages spoken as well.
Example:
> say how fare thee, drev?
You ask, in english:
"How fare thee, drev?"
