HEY! What is it with these shopkeepers? I go into a shop with no gold,
and pick up some that's just lying there. Wondering what the shopkeeper will
charge me, I try to pay him for the gold WITH the gold. He insists that I owe
him nothing, and let's me leave! So I try to go back in, AND HE GETS ANGRY!
At what? I don't know, but anyway he kills me!
Puzzled and dead,

Bye Ryan P.S. Does anyone have a copy of HAUNT that i could get my hands on?

Hello There Kian! Could you mail me a working path to your site? I can't mail you from here. All your news seems to come from somewhere!clyde!ratex!mck, but when I send mail back to you, clyde claims to not know what a ratex is. Laura Creighton ihnp4!utzoo!laura ps -- I think you just found a neat bug. Obviously the shop-keepers were so impressed by the ideological arguments that you gave them in trying to pay them gold for your gold that they did a philosophical about-face from altruism to egoism. Unfortunately, they didn't adopt rationality along the way so that when you returned they irrationally decided to kill you rather than thank you for explaining market principles to them...
