Dragonlord,
you're missing the entire point. I would love to "let him do his work" but
he's not. You are absolutely correct that only Rich can determine what a bug
is a bug and when it should be fixed (I said so much in my previous email) but
when he makes the determination he needs to inform us. Right now most bug
reports are not even acknowledged by the GM so we players continue to grope
through the game not knowing if we're "abusing" a bug or utilizing a feature
and never knowing when or if the bug/feature will be fixed and yanked out from
under us.
I can't begin to imagine how complicated it is to write the code and run such
a game. It must be a daunting task and I recognize that Rich must be busy.
But, as we players are required by the rules to report possible bugs, I think
it should be required for the GM to acknowledge such reports and keep the
players updated on the repair. A simple 1 paragraph "note from the GM" at the
top of the Oly Times each week would do the trick.
