Currently every time you log in you are asked if you wish to load your settings and any variables are set to your initial declaration.
An example would be a variable I have called 'onguard' which can be either 1 or 0 and determines if I wish to raise my defences or not. I declared it with a value of 0 which is perfect for most of the time and setting it on log in, should I so desire, with '
@set onguard 1' isn't exactly taxing. However, this is just a trivial example to illustrate a much bigger issue of variable value persistence.

A puzzle indeed. Still, your answer still stands and I am thankful to you Cromm.
