Analyze

This contract is used to place doorbell in a private property that you own.

This contract will allow a private property owner to affix a doorbell to their property.  Visitors may ring it to let any occupants know that someone is outside.
It could also be placed internally in the property, such as a dinner bell, to echo throughout the rest of the property.

Once placed, the appearance of the doorbell cannot be changed, so be sure it is what you want before you RAISE your contract, and that you RAISE it where you want it!

Customization Options:
- TURN the doorbell contract to toggle through available messaging types.
- You may submit this doorbell contract to Sadie, who can customize the message seen by the visitor who rings the bell as well as the message seen by anyone else in the visitor's room.
- Sadie can also customize what anyone in your private property hears when someone rings the bell.
- Each custom option carries the 300-point cost for a customization and must go through delayed QC.  The entire contract can be customized at one time for 1200 premium points.
- The appearance of the doorbell may be altered by giving this doorbell contract to any willing merchant.
- Long descriptions and show descriptions are simultaneously allowed but require two separate alteration sessions to have both.

The item should make sense for something that is outside a property and sounds inside any room, such as a button, bell, door knocker, chimes, etc.

Visitors announced as:  You hear the gentle ringing of a bell.
