This is a standard format used in the game industry for a bug entry. I've adapted it for use in The Carrion Fields.
---------------------------------------------------------------- THIS SECTION IS CONTAINED IN THE name AND subject FIELDS OUTSIDE OF THE BODY OF THE POST
Name: (Your name here)
Subject: (Short description of the bug)
Example Subject Line: 'Regurgitate' causes crash when stomach is empty.
---------------------------------------------------------------- BODY OF THE POST
Expected: (In this section you put the expected results of the action(s) as if a bug were not occuring.)
Example Expected Section:
Expected: When I use the 'regurgitate' skill without having ingested anything, I should receive a message stating that I have nothing to regurgitate.
Actual: (In this section you put the actual results of the action(s), exactly as it happens.)
Example Actual Section:
Actual: When I use the 'regurgitate' skill without having ingested anything, the game freezes for approximately 5 seconds and then crashes.
Steps to Reproduce: (In this section you number the steps to reproduce. Be as concise as possible.)
Example Steps to Reproduce Section:
Steps to Reproduce: 1) Log on with an orcish berserker and pass the MOTD screen. 2) Making sure not to ingest anything, use the 'regurgitate' skill.
For non-crash bugs that you can reproduce without harming other people's gameplay experience, please try to reproduce it a few times if humanly possible. This is given below the Steps section and is called the Repro Rate.
Repro Rate: (The number of times you were able to reproduce the bug.)
