List of bugs I've experienced so far (all on internet play):

Lgm panic bug (often)

Hit the minefield, program crashes (occasionally)

Hit a large, killable minefield, program crashes (once)

Drag the alliance request window, program crashes (occasionally)

Unable to pick up my dead pill (occasionally)

My dead pill shoots tanks (a couple times)

My own pill shoots me (once)

New parachuted builder arrow shows NW but no builder there. Arrow then moves SE (a couple times)

Pill chart shows dead or red pills when I have them all (occasionally)

Roads that grow back, or unkillable road square (often)

Mines blow themselves up with no sound (frequently)

Builder won't build on mine...no mine there (often)

Blocks that grow back (often)

Program crashes cause unknown (sometimes)

Program crashes on alliance request acceptance (occasionally)

LGM can cross one square of deep water (recent, a couple times)

LGM stays in one spot, unkillable, visible only to me (sometimes)

LGM parachutes into edge minefield (a few times)

I can drive under an ally's tank (sometimes)

My ally, Matt007@007, shoots me...oh wait, that's not a bug.... :D :D :D

That's really funny Q. Bizarre, too. Btw, your 'Q-snake' blurb is a laugh riot. Anytime I wanna laugh, I read it. :D :D :D

I wasn't able to understand 'NEWBIE POWER''S blurb until I remembered my college language research:

Assuming it wasn't written by a four-year old from Compton, I concluded it must be a sub-variant of 'American' which is a widely-accepted mutation of English.

Many sub-dialects exist, such as Urban-American, and Southern American, but I believe it was written using one of these two unique sub-dialects:

1: 'Tardlish'
2: 'Idiotese'
