Bugs

	If you notice a bug in the game, make sure you report it using
the 'bug' command. If it is very serious (ie, a way to get free exp, gold,
eq
or whatever), then also report it to an arch or admin if any are logged in.
Make sure that you write the bug report in the same room (or as close as
possible) that the bug occurred.

	Which wizard should the bug be sent to? By default, the bug report
will go to the wizard in charge of the world you're located in. If the bug
isn't world-specific, check in 'help immortal duties' to see which wizard
it
should go to.

	What is 'bug' not to be used for? Do NOT use the bug command for
typos, there's a 'typo' command for that. Also, do NOT use 'bug' for
ideas or suggestions. Use the idea command for those, or news, or mail the
appropriate wizard(s).

Here's an example of a good bug report:

    When random resistance from bless armor spell (when casting on paladin
    shield) is same as shield's mount, it _replaces_ bonus resistance on
    shield raised for honor poinmts. For example i have 9% phys resistance
    on shield and when random res from bless armor is phys res i get 5%
    phys res instead of 9%

This report lists the symptoms and possible cause, and is quite concise.
Now here's an example of a bug report which never should have been sent:

    Help donate list still says :
    See also:  HELP DONATE, HELP TASK POINTS, HELP DONATE FORM
    at the bottom.               ^^^^^^^^^^^

A minor typo in a help file is NOT something which needs to be spammed to
all
wizards logged in. Or the following:

    reading the inscription doesn't tell me which stat is available here
    to find this out, I have to look at the SPACE, which is less than
    realistic.

Again, there's no problem with making a suggestion to the wizard in
question
using the 'idea' command or mail, but there's no reason that something
minor
like that needs to be repped to all of the wizards.

	Bug reports are very much 'in your face' to all wizards, and should
only be used to report problems in how something is(n't) working. Also, it
is much appreciated if the effort is taken to be courteous in your report,
instead of demanding that X be fixed immediately. The wizards are, after
all, volunteers.

	If the wizard which deals with the bug report feels that the bug was
serious enough, he can award a PE to the player who reported it at his
discretion.
