*** REMOVE THIS LINE WITH YOUR SLIPPERY HANDS *** I suppose you all know that in hack 1.0.2, when you're in a shop, you can <m>ove onto a piece of food and <e>at it, without the shopkeeper noticing it. Well, I just moved onto a pile of two tins. I ate the first, which contained salmon, and then tried to eat the second. To my amazement, the tin fell out of my hands, and the shopkeeper PAID ME FOR IT!!! In fact he kept paying me until my hands stopped being slippery. (If it's of any significance, I was playing as a wizard, and my hands were -alas- empty). I didn't get exactly rich out of the situation, but I must have got at least 100 $ this way. If only one could recognise tins before eating them... -- Kriton (princeton!tilt!kyrimis) ------ "I reversed the polarity of the neutron flow..." ------

Also if you move onto a tin and start eating it, but was interrupted by a monster, the tin will not be marked unpaid. It seems that whenever you stand on something and eat it (in a shop) the item will be added to your pack without you having to pay for it. -- Henry Chai Faculty of Library and Information Science, U of Toronto {watmath,ihnp4,allegra}!utzoo!utflis!chai
