This may be old news to some, but I was unable to confirm it until today. I signed up for the quest, my monarch went to the Town Square, the teacher GOT UP ON THE PLATFORM!!! It worked, just like it was supposed to. Probably I will continue to run with testingcheatsenabled=1 just in case something else is now busted. So far, I have run into a number of busted quests, i.e. those that cannot be completed because of an error in the software. I didn't write down the names, so I don't know if everything is fixed, but I am happy that at least one was.
