I use to know how to add locations under old/existing location names on 'mafia, but I can't remember anymore. Ugh...300+ clicks a day isn't any fun.

Sorry, this is the most lagtastic time of the year so it's not allowed to be spoken of.

Well...over on the main forums, keska posted updated KoLmafia data files. He accompanied them with some vile language directed at the KoLmafia developers.
His post was removed by the moderators, and Jick himself came in and posted:
It's ambiguous whether the "serious horseshit" was the updated data files - which subverted our intent to NOT make it trivial for everybody and their puppy to automate the new Crimbo areas - or the vile language.
However, I don't feel inclined to change the policy of not including Crimbo automation in the released code before Crimbo. Not that it's any comfort, but I'll include the new areas AFTER Crimbo - for the sake of history.
I'd appreciate it if people stop asking how to automate the new areas. Thank you.

Looks like the old way of adding the areas to adventure was removed in the newer builds anyways.

I think that comments made by jick on the recent radio shows make it clearer what he meant by "serious horseshit." He feels that keska was wrong to subvert your intent. He agrees that if the current Crimbo was built into mafia, then lag would get worse.

I have a script designed to help ensure that you have one of each of the Crimbo items made from elfbits. It only hits the server if it creates items, which it will do, one per lacking Crimbo item, as bits become available. May I post it?
On a slightly related note, get_ingredients() does not seem to have a useful return value for items made from multiple identical ingredients (i.e. pair of twitching claws, asshat, etc.). It only lists one of each unique ingredient. e.g.
get_ingredients($item[asshat]) returns [bum cheek] => 1
