I agree completely! The bug should be fixed ASAP. It should have been
fixed
around turn 20 when I reported it. Thats some 40 turns ago.

But what happens when the bug is not fixed? Should you take advantage of
the bug?
If you base your turns on the assumption that the bug will be fixed, then
you are at
a disadvantage to those who still use the bug.

Apparently it is not against the rules to use/abuse bugs. We are obligated
to report
the bug to the GM, then we can exploit it as much as we want. I do not like
this, but
I must do it to keep myself even with everyone else.

The problem with the bugs now is that when Rich ignores them, we learn to
play with them.
After a while they become part of the game. The bugs become unwritten
rules. Players
who don't know about the "unwritten rules" are at a disadvantage.

What we need is a way for everyone to know about the "bugs" in the game. If
Rich would
just announce them it would be fairer for everyone.

Example:
There is a bug in horsed movement with large stacks. The delay is not
being calculated
properly. I don't know when it will be fixed. -Rich
