You are dancing with a furry brown cave bat.


While strictly speaking true, I think it would be more accurate to say "You are dancing while fighting with a furry brown cave bat."

After all, dancing with someone does not necessarily imply you're trying to kill them. ;)

There was no need to post it in Bug discussion. Just idea log it, or something.

Err... Bug Discussion isn't for discussing non-location specific code bugs?

There should really be a sticky with what is and isn't appropriate for Bug Discussion.

While some people are a bit quick to judge what is and isn't appropriate for this forum, this isn't such a bad place for this.

It may not not technically be a bug. But to describe it fully would probably tax the idea and/or bug command a bit, given that you only get a single line to do it in.

*shrugs* I'm not going to yell that it got posted here. And if the imms aren't, then perhaps some players shouldn't be quite so quick to judge.

Bug Discussion
Although there is a BUG command in the game that takes precedence over this forum, sometimes asking here can explain non-bugs, or reveal a fault that the BUG command cannot clearly show.


I think this says it quite well, though. Rereading this, I think even moreso that this is a fine place to have posted this thread.

Why is a bat dancing in the first place? Shouldn't it be flying?

Or was that the social and you guys are just being silly dancing with cave bats? :D

I probably should have provided more context.

• I was fighting with a bat.
• I was dancing (as it makes you harder to hit in combat)
• I typed "score"
• On the line where it normally says "you are standing" or "you are fighting with X", it told me "you are dancing with a bat"

Ah ha.

So maybe dancing should get it's own line in score?

EX:

You are dancing.
You are fighting a small furry bat.

Or maybe "fighting" should just take higher priority than "dancing" in the status line. While

"You are fighting a bat.
You are dancing."

Makes sense,

"You are standing.
You are dancing."

does not.

Ahhh. I misinterpreted. I suppose it's a bug of sorts, then.
