Aucbvax.6611 net.games.rogue utzoo!decvax!ucbvax!hamachi Mon Apr 5 22:52:14 1982 Early Returns As you read the scroll it vanishes. From ARPAVAX:arnold Sun Apr 4 23:38:16 1982 Subject: rogue distribution delayed (please read) Newsgroups: net.games.rogue Status: R Well, due to circumstances.... This time it has nothing to do with work load. What has happened is that I have been informed that there is a very serious bug in the code which allows people to get very high (> 100) hp on level 1. However, the individual who informed me of it refuses to tell me what it is, so I cannot fix it. Rather than distribute a version of the game and have to redistribute right away, I am delaying sending out binaries until I have that fixed. If you know how to induce the bug, tell me. If you don't, mail my friend (ucbvax!hamachi) and tell him to tell me. Hell, have all your friends write. This request is NOT limited to one-per- site. Sorry 'bout that, but don't bug me, bug HIM Ken From hocda!tjt Mon Apr 5 17:02:36 1982 Status: R Come on, asshole. I know you love the attention. You're not doing anyone (including yourself) any good...

Tell Arnold what the bug circumstances are, or you'll certainly be hassled with junk mail from thousands of frustrated roguers all over north america! >From decvax!ittvax!freb Mon Apr 5 15:06:03 1982 Date: Mon Apr 5 17:42:51 1982 To: decvax!ucbvax!hamachi Subject: are you interested? Status: RO in preserving your sanity? PLEASE(!!!!) let Ken Arnold know how to induce the >100 hp bug so the rest of us can get the new version of rogue!!!!!
