Richard wrote it, Ted and I have contributed to it.  Usually, we all say "is anybody working on the code?" and just upload 
our changes.  Before I had shell access on gamerz I sent Richard patch files, so . . .

You can send me a patch and I'll apply it.  You can send it to Richard or Ted (rathkopf) but I know Ted is going on vacation 
soon.

Sort of.  Yes, it's the currently running one, but sharkey has taken werewolf and haggis and split out the common elements 
into a new module file that's used by the two games.  The modularized code is not being run on the server, but I plan to 
ditch the monolithic haggis for sharkey's version, and probably werewolf should do the same.

What should really happen is we temporarily create a werewolf-beta "game" and have a small set of testers play that one.  
That's what we did when aliases were introduced, and it turned up some good bugs.

So, rather than having you make clean-up changes to the werewolf.pl file, I'd have you get a hold of the perlgame module and 
the werewolf game that uses it.  I'll grab copies and email them to you, if you like.

Not yet, but eventually we'll get our act together!

I just run a bunch of games on my home machine.

Nope.
