Title: Losing money when gambling ($-179 in the pub)
Post by: Core Xii on February 17, 2010, 20:16

You can "win" negative amounts of money in the pub, which is then taken away from your bank.

Steps to reproduce:

Catch mountain wambus (but don't close the message that you caught it)
Wait for ~90 seconds
Press Button to close wambus message
Go to pub

When you find the mountain wumpus, the game pauses.

But as far as the gambling in the casino is concerned, the timer does not pause.

If you spend the time at that point to talk with the other players, your gambling income will go down, and it can go negative.

This was repeated, and resulted in less-than-zero, changed to zero.

You should post a link to the game in which this happened.

Oops. Thanks for the report. We've noted it and it will be fixed in the next version.
