I agree. It is also wrong for the SFW bug to have been used to blast
dozens of PLATO nobles.

Most of the methods I use are completely legal and not buggy in
anyone's opinion. I will not tell you these. You probably don't know
many of them. That is how the game is played.

I don't care if anyone thinks I was justified. I think I was a dirty
rotten twerp. I don't know why you're all fired up about talking about
my reasoning for being a dirty rotten twerp. Maybe I got up on the
wrong side of my bed this morning. Maybe someone aura-blasted a few
dozen of my ally's nobles.

I can hold the opinion that the bug report should have been complete
without volunteering to be repeatedly abused about it. BTW, I was the
one who thought up most of the magic system redesign between g1 and
g2, so I think it's fair that I understand how the aura system
works. I intended to make powerful mages reign supreme and make it
hard for lesser mages to work together to equal a powerful one.
That's why all aura transfer methods waste 50% and why healing potions
no longer heal you. If I knew about that bad implication, I would have
put it on the bug list, because the bad implication is far more
important than the SFW bug itself.

It's kind of funny that you abuse me for not telling you everything I
know and then make fun of me for not figuring out something given only
a small notice of it. I see a bit of a double-standard there.
