Get all the fortune cookies you can eat!!?
Sabine Blochberger
fortune cookies off of a shops floor without getting charged!
In the first shop I had bought all the food rartions that he had (3) and a
cram-ration. The fortune cookie I ate because I was getting hungry and since
I was a healer full of $$, I had a bite at it.... To no charge! Heh, I
thought it must be the discount for regular buyers, but behold, in the next
level there's a general store too, and without byuing anything first, i eat
his cookies. No charge either!
Has that something to do that my Ch was 16? Can it be that the shopkeepers
offer cookies to beautiful ladies (even when they're gnomes)?

It seems fortune cookies are free food (if you don't pick them up) for
everybody. This also worked for a Cha 6 orcish Barbarian, so I assume it
works regardless of being a beautiful lady or not.
And trying to tame a beautiful lady with a fortune cookie? Does that
work? Did I miss something all the time? ;)

Oh, what a shame. I thought it was a new feature of the game, which
would've made shopkeepers at least partialy nice...

Not that "fixed" really means anything, since it's been "fixed" for months,
but AFAIK, there's no way to actually USE a fixed version of the
executable, aside from fixing it yourself and re-compiling. How annoying.
Espescially for things like the trap-on-the-VotD-stairs, also listed as
"fixed" for quite some time now.

Or applying a fix that someone else has made available and recompiling.
(Neither step is very difficult, but I'll admit that it adds up to more
work than is acceptable as there are many bugs.)

Maybe a nice idea: If you buy a food item and a potion in a
delicatessen shop, you can get a fortune cookie for free.

The developers will release the next version of nethack (3.4.1, most
likely) as soon as they feel that it is ready. When they do, all "fixed"
bugs from 3.4.0 should behave as they intend. We can then set about
finding new bugs for them to fix, some of them almost undoubtedly caused
by the fixes to the previous version's bugs.
I love this game.

You bought a food ration for 60 gold pieces. --more--
You bought a blue potion for 50 gold pieces. --more--
The shopkeeper asks: "Do you want fries with that?"

Hmm ... Free fortune cookies are traditionally associated with
take-out Chinese food. How about a tin containing szechuan food
giving a free fortune cookie? That would be a lot easier to code then
screwing around with the shopkeeper code ...

Perhaps 'fixed' should link to a patch fixing it?

It's possible that the fixes the dev team use can't be easily seperated into
individual patches. Finding, verifying and linking to third-party solutions
would probably take too much time. (And wouldn't you rather they spend that
time working on the next version, anyway?)

Looking at my list, several of the bugs I've reported this time round
were in at least 3.1.3...
(Nothing very serious, admittedly.)
