0008257: Combat reports use "lightly tapping the target" for attacks that (unintentionally) cause no damage

Notes
(0030030) UristDaVinci (reporter) 2014-09-07 15:47	As far as I know, there was a "sparring" flag that controlled this text appearance. If the attacker was sparring, you would get ", lightly tapping the target!", but if not then you would get ", but the attack has no force!" The changes to the lethal/nonlethal combat states may have messed this up. Perhaps there are related 0.40.xx sparring bugs?

Edit: I think it was a forum post and not an actual bug report. Edit2: About the only report that I could find that is anywhere close to this one is 0007059, however, that bug has been fixed.

(0031756) Button (reporter) 2015-01-07 11:50	I don't know about 40.23, but it was my experience in 40.10-19 or so that you'd only get "lightly tapping the target!" if it was the first attack in a conflict. I assumed it was part of the AI upping the ante.
