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?

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.
