You aren't a player, but I'll acknowledge that you're a PEP.

+0, but I agree, the "bug" doesn't exist.

+0. Better no fix than a bad one.

+0; since you're a PEP, this does nothing.

+50. This seems pretty optimal to me.

+5, again for a simple and elegant solution to the problem.

There was no such bug (come on, *nobody* takes Suffocation seriously),
but this doesn't actually damage anything. +0.

Yeah, that solves his problem nicely. +5.

-10; this isn't something that needs an emergency to deal with as the
bug does not hurt gameplay in any fashion.

+5. Again, not urgent but rather nice to have.

I'm sure. You're not a player, and this fact is not an emergency. -30.
Your total comes to 25 on the teucer scale.
