Once again I have an question. I, Gilgabit, was on the second level of the dungeon and had raised myself to a fourth level Caveman. Suddenly strange and bizarre things started happening. I walked over a trap door and it opened under me. BUT, I was told that "A Mysterious Force prevents you from going down". I finished of the level and tried to descend the stairs. Again, I was told that "A Mysterious Force prevents you from going down". I had nothing in my possesion, other than what I started with, since I had used up the 2 potions and 1 scroll I found so far. (By the way, I am exploring dungeon version 1.0.3) Any thing like this happen to anyone else. The ever clumsy Gilgabit (A.K.A. Scott A. Stewart LMSC - Sunnyvale) P.S. I personally think this might have been a new feature added to our system to prevent people playing during business hours, since this problem occurred about 8:05. I was also unable to save my game at this point (Couldn't access save file). I had problems when I quit since trhe program couldn't access the record file either. Also, about 7:58 (by my watch), the keyboard responded very slowly to commands, while other people using the emacs editor had no problems. I think they are trying to make it very inconvenient for you to play at all after 8:00 AM.
