Excess Inventory

Its been a crappy game tactic to send "donations" of cheap little items to a player and fill their lab inventory when you think they are making lots of more useful (and expensive) items to get them to waste their efforts.

While it does reek of abuse, I actually like it when players do it to me.

I means that they are wasting 20-30 mages a turn making the items when they could be researching, collecting blood slaves, or casting rituals, and they are wasting over a hundred gems/slaves on essentially no effect since I don't focus on SC/thug strategies.
