Locations:
There are various locations in this game. In the description, you will find location names precisely noted and in CAPS. These locations may be a room name, or a direction. To go to another location, use the word GO in the same style as voting in boldface.
Like....
GO STUDY
GO UP
GO IN
You do this in thread.
Locations and threads:
When you go to a location, you might actually move to a different thread. There are multiple threads in the game, each with a name. You will be told which thread to go to based on your movements. (You will be told in thread. Do not move to a different thread until you are told). If you are told to move to a new thread, you must leave the current thread and go to the new one. When you arrive at the new thread, you may not go back and read any other thread. When you go to a new thread, you may read the entire thread all the way back to the beginning. (The rooms are weird and project past occurrences like movies on the wall). You may quote things from the thread you are in but you may never QUOTE something from another thread, although you may talk about something you remember or you may go physically GO back to another thread to get information you forgot.
Items:
There are various items in this game. These are ALSO noted in CAPS but not in the description of a room. You may interact with items. Some items may confer upon you certain powers and abilities. Likewise if there is anything inside or under the item, like treasure, you will get it. YOu may keep track of what specifically you have but its importance is for monetary purposes only and the total is all that matters. There is no inventory so you will never be "carrying an item" or passing it or anything. Some items may be furniture or other non-carryable things (like a SIDEWALK). Sometimes it may be confusing whether something is an item or a location. (such as a closet). A location will be located in the locations section at the end of the description.
To interact with an item, use the format INSPECT
like:
INSPECT IRON MAIDEN
Buttons and levers:
When you encounter one, is will be a particular color. You may press or pull a lever in thread. You do so by saying the precise type of button.
PUSH GREEN BUTTON
PULL RED LEVER
or PULL RED will suffice too.
Levers and buttons may be pulled or pushed at any time. Doing so does not prevent you from looking at items as the levers are their own thing. The effects are varied and unknown and the results (and/or consequences) of a lever may happen at various times (immediately, at random, at one of the deadlines, etc)
Treasure:
If you find something of worth it will go into your treasure total. You may keep track of what you find, but the value is what is important.
Turns:
Moves are due by night action. If you move to a different room, state in thread GO location . Then that night you will move there.
If you wish to INSPECT an item, you must do so by vote deadline/day action deadline. INSPECT item
INSPECTs are resolved during day action deadline and GOs at night action deadline.
Write-ups:
If you have ever played a game run by me before, you should be aware that write-ups are sometimes late. This game will probably be no different. That doesn't change the day action deadline. Thank you for your patience. I understand that sometimes night depends on day. If your action involves a target, then include a backup choice as well or light contingency plans. If I am really late with day action, I am likely to give a break on night action as far as getting it in/changing it but don't expect it because I can't hold out all night especially if I don't know you're going to change. Get night actions in by deadline so that you have something in. If nothing is in I will assume you are doing nothing.
