Send word: a way to reach the keeper

Browse Source 
The about panel gets wizwar's contact paragraph (mail, Bluesky, Mastodon,
the source), and the colophons, the guide and the rules page each carry
a one-line way to report a rule read wrong.

<p>Waving Hands is Richard Bartle's game from 1977, played with pencil, paper and two hands. It was later known as Spellbinder and Spellcaster, and Andrew Plotkin's <em>Spellcast</em> brought it to university X terminals in 1993, which is where the maker of this page first met it.</p>
<p>This version keeps the game as written: all forty spells, the same simultaneous resolution, the same ledger of letters. The rules text it follows is the fanzine transcription, kept in full on the <a href="/rules">rules page</a>. The bot reads your gestures as you would read its; the hand silhouettes on the buttons are adapted from Plotkin's bitmaps, with his notice retained.</p>
<p>It is free and keeps no accounts. A duel against the bot lives in your own browser. A duel between people lives on a small server as an append-only ledger of moves, so it can be replayed from its first gesture, and each wizard is shown only what the rules let them see.</p>
<h3>Send word</h3>
<p>A rule read wrong, a bug, a duel you would like to tell of: write to <a href="mailto:eric@ericwagoner.com">eric@ericwagoner.com</a>, <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/kestrelsnest.social" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">@kestrelsnest.social</a> on Bluesky, or <a href="https://toots.kestrelsnest.social/@eric" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">@eric@toots.kestrelsnest.social</a> on Mastodon. The keeper of this hall roosts at <a href="https://kestrelsnest.social" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">kestrelsnest.social</a>, and the source is at <a href="https://git.kestrelsnest.social/eric/waving-hands" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">git.kestrelsnest.social</a>.</p>
