I have also found a bug that causes omega to dump you from
the game...

it occurs whenever you are fighting in the arena and an 
oppenent runs away from you.

it first informs you that you are $2500 in debt to the gymnasium...
( is this a bug... you are penalized for someone else's cowardice? )
and then causes a strange thing to occur:

an 'm' appears on the space you were standing on and if you
try to 'x'amine it or fight it ... the game says something like:
'Oops ... i have detected a core bug... would you like me to attempt 
to save?"
which it will do successfully...which is some sort of blessing.
