Well, you guessed it....Bug in snoop. Anyway, it is not something that happens often, but here is what happens. When an immortal switches with a mob, he becomes snoopable by a lower immortal level because snoop checks the level of the switched body as opposed to the actual level of the character. This in itself is no overwhelming problem. However, when the imm returns to his original body, the snoop still continues on the part of the lower level. Furthermore, should the higher level imm choose to snoop the lower level (who is still snooping because he cannot perform a snoop to unsnoop what he should not be able to snoop in the first place) :) it will create what I would say is a 'snoop loop'. The machine does not seem to like this seeing that the MUD goes into an endless loop that starts to hog up the resources of the host. As I said before, this does not happen often, but if it does it send the MUD into a tailspin. Anyone else notice this problem before??? Glenn @MissionMUD
