Core

- Added tutorial missions. You will first be walked through setting up correctly and rewarded with cash for your active character. You'll then unlock missions more specific to the career your character has chosen and general community engagement.
- Added email notifications. I'm doing this cautiously as to not allow it to become spammy. If anyone has any feedback please don't hesitate to let me know.
- Upgraded text areas with more and better looking formatting options.
- Expanded social media functionality, including post-specific and personal "social media profile" pages
- Fixed bug with usernames with spaces not showing the profile web page correct.

- Added a guardrail and accidental modal closes so you don't lose any info you've already typed.
Business
- Reduced the IPO timeline to 7 days to better match the timings in other parts of the game. To compensate, each roadshow event will bring better results. Essentially, for max demand you should do a roadshow event in 5 of the 7 days prior to going public.
- Added the ability for public companies to name up to 6 other characters to your Board of Directors. You will be able to set a daily salary for the board members and your CEO character.
- You now have the ability to purchase DFL sponsorships from your Marketing Tab at Business/My Company. If you do decide to sponsor a team or purchase their stadium naming rights, you will receive a 3% or 10% daily asset revenue modifier for all assets in that team's home market for the entirety of the DFL season.
Government
- Completely re-designed the Party HQ pages to be more user-friendly and easier to navigate. Also fixed a couple of bugs.

Music
- Added a system for reporting songs for copyright infringement as well as a mandatory confirmation box when you release a new song stating that you are not uploading a copyrighted song.
Sports
- You now have the ability to sell naming rights to your stadium and get up to 3 normal team sponsors. You'll be able to set your price and then approach in-game businesses (focus on player-ran businesses, please) to get them to purchase a sponsorship. There's no limits to what you can charge so long as you can get a business to pay that much.
- Fixed bug with the URL in the Discord post for draft picks
