If I remember our previous email exchange correctly, the bug you
are complaining about was in fact fixed quite some time ago. The
only remaining problem is that you didn't get your missing noble
points back.

While on this topic: my current best information from the last
2 turns indicates that all the "lose an NP" bugs that I have been
made aware of *have* been fixed. Further, transfering a control
artifact does NOT transfer an NP any longer (closing that NP loophole
as well). Resurrections still do NOT cost an NP.

On the "terrorize" front: I recieved 2 reasonably complete reports,
which lead to an interesting hypothesis: it appeared as if when the
check was made to see if the terrorizing faction had enough NP's to
gain control of the character, the game was checking the NP's of the
character who was *doing* the terrorizing, rather than the noble
*being* terrorized. If other people could check to confirm or deny
this hypothesis, I'd appreciate it. Note however it is only the
preliminary check which seems to be bad: if you pass the check, then
the correct number of NP's get transfered when the noble actually
changes sides.
