'Twas the night before 26-Sep-98, and all through the net,
not a creature was stirring, except for Myrla, who whispered ominously:

"It's not a bug,it's an undocumented feature" <g>
Well we're not allowed to give zombies the same name as players, and with
good (?) reason. Imagine that someone sits idling somewhere. Suddenly these
messages scroll up his screen:

Myrla has arrived.
Myrla slaps your face!
Myrla says,"You stink!!"
Myrla has left.

As soon as the player unidles you get an angry page, and before you have
found out exactly why he (thinks he's) mad at you, the zombie with your
name (for that's what it was of course) has been renamed or even recycled,
and the anonymous prankster has logged off. :P

We'll be right back after these messages.
