Hey Gwarl... I think the random artifact code in AlexAngband is unstable and makes the game wobble excessively as play continues. Unfortunately, given the interconnection provided by the Shared Home feature... the wobble poisons all players.
I think the first player to start a game and change the Birth Options sets the random artifact flag for all followers, so... can you delete all AA savefiles, and start a new game WITHOUT the random artifact flag? I recognize this will lose a lot of history, but I'm the only player who's officially won it, and I'm willing to sacrifice that "ripe old age" line for stability.
What do you think?
