	Subject: rogue distribution delayed (please read)
	Newsgroups: net.games.rogue
	Status: R
	
	Well, due to circumstances....
	
	This time it has nothing to do with work load.  What has happened is
	that I have been informed that there is a very serious bug in the code
	which allows people to get very high (> 100) hp on level 1.  However,
	the individual who informed me of it refuses to tell me what it is, so I
	cannot fix it.  Rather than distribute a version of the game and have
	to redistribute right away, I am delaying sending out binaries until
	I have that fixed.  If you know how to induce the bug, tell me.  If you
	don't, mail my friend (ucbvax!hamachi) and tell him to tell me.  Hell,
	have all your friends write.  This request is NOT limited to one-per-
	site.
		Sorry 'bout that, but don't bug me, bug HIM

	Come on, asshole.  I know you love the attention.  You're not doing
	anyone (including yourself) any good...

	Rumor has it that you're holding up the new rogue distribution!
	Tell Arnold what the bug circumstances are, or you'll certainly
	be hassled with junk mail from thousands of frustrated roguers
	all over north america!

	in preserving your sanity?  PLEASE(!!!!) let Ken Arnold know how
	to induce the >100 hp bug so the rest of us can get the new version
	of rogue!!!!!
