#1420 More blunders... or double vision?

Alan Huscroft · 16 July 1990

Either I have been spotting some more blunders, or I am suffering from
double vision.  Judge for yourself.

First, the data for Massilia Sector in the TML archives.  There are two
entries for the same hex:

> Rellam        0720 A100321-G    Ni Va              924 Li K9 III M5 D
> Amaya         0720 A100321-G    Ni Va              924 Li F5 V

Did this sector get published recently in the Driveller's Teachest?  If
so, that issue hasn't made it across the Pond yet.  Can someone set the
record straight?

Second, the Vilani & Vargr book.  Has anyone noticed in the map of the
Vargr Extents how there are two sectors named Gotsdzo and two named
Arzul.  Now, I know the Vargr are not renowned for their large-scale
organization, but this is carrying things to silly extremes...

Yow!  I never noticed this, Alan.  When I grabbed the sector data from
GEnie, I just sucked down the files and ftp'ed them to Sunbane.  This
is a 'legit' screw-up for the NEW Massilia UWP file.  I have the same
dup in my original copy of the file.  I don't know whether the pre-
assassination version of Massilia sector has the same goof in it, but
I'm going to check.  Metlay asked for the pre-shattered-imerium versions
of Massilia, Corridor, and Deneb anyway, so I might as well suck down
all three while I'm at it.  We'll see if the dup exists in both files.
