[net.games.rogue] rogue 7.0 afterlife

wcs@hou2b.UUCP (Bill Stewart HO 4M-428 x0705) (12/22/83)

On the public machine that suports rogue, an 'afterlife' of sorts
seems to have evolved. (bug, bug).  My rogue.save files don't go
away when I die, and I can do "rogue -r" to recover them.
Unfortunately, when I do this, "I" yields "Empty handed", and there
is a limited range of motion possible (usually none.)  However, if
, when I died, I was standing next to part of the tombstone, I can
walk around on it (hjkl only; no unby).  If I walk onto a *, I get a
message "That gold must have been counterfeit", and sometimes I can
hit things.

(Now if only I could restart the game with 77 HP, 18/96 strength,
only a level 7 character down on level 12 -- but I ran into a
cocatrice and turned to stone (die, die))
