Re: wizards, etc. explained: no spoiler
	A "wizard" rogue is a non-playing character who wanders
	around the game genociding bugs.  He has great
	powers but is unable to score

Being one of the protowizards, I resent that.

But, all seriousness aside, the explaination is basically correct.
It requires a myserterious Word to become a wizard, but once you've
done so, the score won't get posted.  It allows us to find bugs,
but this prevents people from using wizard to cheat and get high
scores.
