Can't win the game

[dinnella]

My friend has an incredible game going, and has the amulet (identified) at the final altar (checked all three altars) is standing on the neutral altar (his alignment) tries to offer, and the amulet is not an option. He has been agonizing about it for a while, this would be the first time he beat slash'em on his pad. Any ideas about what the problem could be?

Which race/role combo is he playing? Have you checked the list of bugs for possible problems (http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=9746&atid=109746)? Did he change alignment sometime?

In any case I'd backup the offending save file.

Did he drop the amulet on the altar? Because of a (vanilla) bug you can't sacrifice anything that is on the high altars. Neither the amulet nor corpses. You need to have it in the inventory.

He is a neutral doppelganger monk, he has the real amulet in his inventory, goes to offer and the amulet is not an option. How to backup the save file, is it possible to send a copy or something? I did look at the bug list, but didn't see anything, and the first thing I thought of was an alignment change, but he has cast enlightenment etc to verify, and risking some peril tried the other altars just to make sure.
