Checking if level 12 quest is completed

can anyone suggest a nice easy way to check if the level 12 quest is completed?

There's a setting "warProgress=finished", I thought I might be able to use, but unfortunately it doesn't reset on ascension!

This is how Zarqon does it in his Wossname.ash script.

if (contains_text(visit_url("questlog.php?which=2"),"in the Great War.")) abort("You have already completed the Level 12 quest. You victor you.");

Seems like a pretty smart way to do it.
