I spent 5 hours with it last night and couldn't see any more obvious
bugs - though I thought a little function to copy and paste guardians
would be helpful. Also I haven't fiddled with the guardian table size
parameter, to see if I can recreate that bug.

Oh there was one other thing, but it's in MM. I could never seem to
add all 8 guardians to a room without it crashing in the emulator.
That is (one of the reasons) why Manic Person has no rooms with 8
guardians.
