No, I think he's saying it turned into a werewolf at some point when it was alive. I can confirm though that you do sometimes get a "Would you like to turn into a werewolf?" prompt even when you don't have the lycanthropy state. There's nothing in the code that supports this happening, so I've just chalked it up to a wonky bug.

EDIT: I can't check right now, but it's possible that a different character on the floor had lycanthropy, but that the state is only programmed to ask the player if they want to become a werewolf. I'll look over the code again later. It's under LycanthropyHandler() in char.cpp if anyone wants to check it out.

It is. I remember the good ol' days when the only way I could manage to kill Jenny was to drink from all of the fountains and hope I'd turn into a werewolf. But in this case it just asks you randomly when you don't even have the lycanthropy state. It's happened to me a few times, but I can't remember if I've ever taken it up on the offer.

Hmm... I tried taking a look, but nothing stood out in the code. The only hunch I have is that it somehow confused another state you had with lycanthropy, but that would probably result in another state not working, which would be more noticeable; do you remember what states you had when it happened?

I wipe my systems far too often, and half of them run 64-bit IVAN now so the bones are incompatible anyways.

Some sort of hearse-like thing would be pretty cool, but failing that we could always start up a bones sharing thread (isn't there already one lying around here somewhere?).

What we really ought to do is have an online IVAN server like other roguelikes (especially since wasp's IVANtty server now appears to be down), but graphical IVAN online would be far more difficult than just running a telnet server, and the ASCII just doesn't have the same charm to it.

I've had this happen a few times, though I never bothered to look into the cause. Did you have polycontrol when it happened?

Hypocritical judgement is the best kind of judgement anyways.

I tried eating him in CVS and got the evil deed message...

For CVS at least, eating something counts as cannibalism if it's made of the same material as your torso (or body if you're polymorphed into a limbless creature).

I'm all for Markdown. Besides being more intuitive it simply requires fewer keystrokes (eg. **bold** vs [b ]bold[/b]). Also, I can never get used to BBCode hyperlinks, but Markdown hyperlinks are as easy as [text](http://link).

The only thing I don't like about Markdown is that when you make numbered lists it always starts from 1 regardless of how you actually numbered it, but that certainly isn't a deal breaker.

Looks like it's working fine now.

After a little research it looks like it could be a problem with an intermediate certificate on the server.
