But, from the sound of things, they also love war even when all their  
neighbours have been slaughtered, their wives and daughters have been  
raped and murdered by invading forces, and their fields lie in ashes.

Tom, are you absolutely, 100% certain there is no bug here?  Without  
even looking?  Even after talking on the login page about how the bug  
count is, indeed, going up while you refactor?

I'm not even on the Colonies anymore, so I don't know much about the  
particular situation, but unless you've already looked, it seems  
disingenuous to me, as a programmer, to say "No, there's no bug  
there.  It's operating exactly as intended," from a very brief  
description of behaviour that defies common sense.
