     HEY!  What is it with these shopkeepers?  I go into a shop with no gold,
and pick up some that's just lying there.  Wondering what the shopkeeper will
charge me, I try to pay him for the gold WITH the gold.  He insists that I owe
him nothing, and let's me leave!  So I try to go back in, AND HE GETS ANGRY!
At what?  I don't know, but anyway he kills me!

                                        Puzzled and dead,
                                        Kian

Well thats nothing... if you go into a shop, take a bunch of things out,
and then go back in the shoppkeeper might atttack you...
but if he doesnt attack you then here is something to try...
try to pay...
this will then take almost all of your money and the shoppkeeper will
reply with something like: "Thank you for re stocking this recenly 
burglerized shope" or somthing like that...

Bye

P.S.

   Does anyone have a copy of HAUNT that i could get my hands on?

Hello There Kian!

Could you mail me a working path to your site? I can't mail you
from here. All your news seems to come from somewhere!clyde!ratex!mck,
but when I send mail back to you, clyde claims to not know what a
ratex is.

ps -- I think you just found a neat bug. Obviously the shop-keepers were
so impressed by the ideological arguments that you gave them in trying to
pay them gold for your gold that they did a philosophical about-face from
altruism to egoism. Unfortunately, they didn't adopt rationality along the
way so that when you returned they irrationally decided to kill you rather
than thank you for explaining market principles to them...
