bug (?) opens back door into the world

... so i seem to have found a bug (hack? exploit? *checks forum name* bug! whew...) that allows re-entry into the game after it closes.

first things first, the hows:

1. old white macbook running firefox, if that makes a difference.

2. while game is still running, put computer to sleep by closing the lid (as opposed to exiting the game, because hey, maybe just a quick nap!)

3. after game has shut down, re-open the computer (after quick nap has turned to hearty snooze)

4. enjoy the memory of that time you were playing glitch. after a few minutes, realize, hey! moving! and interacting! and loading other areas!

5. plan to post a bug report, and maybe also leave a cheeky hello note by the subway, but then it stops working and you get distracted by stuff...

this has happened twice now, the first time my browser died before i could leave the note. and um, my apologies for getting a little carried away and thinking "hmm, no harm in gathering a bit of dirt from my house and street while i'm here, and hey, might as well get some paper and while i'm in the mines i might as well pick up some guano, it's for the collective good of the game after all!" and then before i know it, hours have passed.... 0.0 but for the record, when i saw the untouched street project to heckes, i backed away slowly and carefully. :)

i should also note that i've done this in the past, but then wasn't able to move at all when i reopened the computer with the closed game still loaded up. at some point more recently, i found that i was able to move, but unable to interact with the environment at all.

in closing, i would just like to say: i know, i know -- i should just take a screenshot, it will last longer! ;)
