  Description     : Multiplayer platform with dwarfs fighting with/for food

 Dwarfs need to collect food as fast as possible to bring it back to their
 mushrooms to live.  When a dwars leaves his home without providing it with
 food too long, it dies from hunger.  The collected food can be thrown at
 other dwarfs, making them unconscious when hit.  When a power-up is picked
 up, thrown food will have special powers!

 This is a distributed network game for two to eight players.  One instance
 needs to act as server for syncing player names and the levels.

N.B. A package of Feeding Frenzy! is already available in our repository:
deb http://luon.net/debian/ unstable main

Firt mention this is a game. So I'd revert both paragrphas:

 Ffrenzy is a distributed network game for two to eight players. One instance
 needs to act as server to sync player names and levels.
 .
 The game features dwarves who need to collect food as fast as
 possible to bring it back to their mushrooms to live. When a dwarf
 leaves home without providing it with food for too long, (s)he dies
 from hunger. The collected food can be thrown at other dwarves,
 making them unconscious when hit. When a power-up is picked up,
 thrown food gets special powers.

"Dwarfs" and "dwarves" are both used, but "dwarfs" is more
traditional (Disney's Snow White had dwarfs).  JRR Tolkien used
"dwarves" as a sort of philological in-joke, and fantasy writers
have tended to copy him ever since.

Do we know whether any of them are represented as female?  In a lot
of fantasy settings it's assumed that females are never seen, or
that they're all treated as male...

Given the strong influence of JRR Tolkien in the geek mythology, I'd
go for "dwarves", then.

Well, that was just my high sensitivity to gender-neutrality,
here. And, I think that female dwarves are mentioned in Tolkien (they
have beards, though) but not completely sure.

Subject: WNPP bug closing

Date: Tue, 24 Jun 2008 11:59:36 -0600

Hello,

This is an automatic mail sent to close the ITP you have reported or 
are involved with.

Your ITP wnpp bug is being closed because of the following reasons:
- It is, as of today, older than 365 days.
- It hasn't had any activity recently.

As this is an automatic procedure, it could of course have something
wrong and probably it would be closing some bugs that are not 
intended by owners and submitters (like you) to be closed, for
example if the ITP is still of your interest, or there has been 
some kind of activity around it. In that case, please reopen the
bug, do it, DO IT NOW! (I don't want to be blamed because of
mass closing and not let people know that they can easily reopen
their bugs ;-).

To re-open it, you simply have to mail control@bugs.debian.org
with a body text like this:

 reopen 428256
 stop

Further comments on the work done in the bug sent to
428256@bugs.debian.org would be truly welcomed.
Anyway, if you have any kind of problems when dealing with
the BTS, feel free to contact me and I'd be more than happy to help
you on this: <damog@debian.org>.

A similar process is being applied to other kind of wnpp bugs.

Thanks for your cooperation,

 -- David Moreno Garza <damog@debian.org>.
