As for the Movement bug being told to other players. I first heard about
it a turn or two ago from some one who was telling me about something
the Lords of the Crown were complaining loudly about. So basically, I got
the information I had from someone who had been told that Oleg had escaped
over a magic barrier by someone other than Greg [and not a PLATO member].
I discussed this with the Musketeers. The Musketeers asked Oleg for
specifics and he declined to tell them how it worked. So over the course of
several emails between some of them and myself, we figured out how it
might work. The flying part was obvious, but I have to admit that I got
the 0 time requirement wrong. The Musketeers apparantly got it right.
And the source of their knowledge was someone who got it second or third
hand from the Lords of the Crown. Not Oleg. Not [OOC] Greg.
