Finally, here you are. At the delcot of tondam, where doshes deave. But the doshery lutt is crenned with glauds.

Glauds! How rorm it would be to pell back to the bewl and distunk them, distunk the whole delcot, let the drokes discren them.

But you are the gostak. The gostak distims the doshes. And no glaud will vorl them from you.

Delcot
This is the delcot of tondam, where gitches frike and duscats glake. Across from a tophthed curple, a gomway deaves to kiloff and kirf, gombing a samilen to its hoff.

Crenned in the loff lutt are five glauds.

[This is a text adventure game. It is much more fun if you don't go and look up what everything means, or try to find a walkthrough. If you decide to do either, please don't play! Thanks!]

[Chattox]

In all seriousness, this sounds... interesting Did anyone else immediately think of this guy?

Let's try this before randomly trying verb-noun combinations to see what kills us.

> louk JALLON
> JALLON

[Grek]

>louk JALOON

That's not a dape I recognise.

>JALOON
This brings up a menu with three options:

>Dedges
>Brolges
>Credits and License

[USEC_OFFICER]

Is this an actual game or something you made up? If it's the second one, it should probably be in the Forum Games section. (Also, posting to watch).

[Nirur Torir]

> Dedges
> Brolges

Alternative commands if they don't work:
> JALOON Dedges
> JALOON Brolges

> JALOON
> Dedges
> JALOON
> Brolges

Is this an actual game or something you made up?

It's real. And free. And text based. So you can post the answer to your own query, if you aren't lazy, and we can try to solve it together.
I used to know how to say "examine" and a few other words, but never got far and probably forgot what I knew by now anyway.

[Grek]

Dedges brings up yet another list:

Bewly dedges
Pelling
Doatching
Heamy dapes

And here are the options in order:

This is a halpock. As in all halpocks, you doatch at it about what to do in a camling by louking murr English dedges, and the halpock louks back. Durly, you could rask a chuld (if you rebbed one) by louking:

  >RASK THE CHULD
  Rasked.

You could then tunk the chuld, or pob it at a tendo, or whatever:

  >DURCH CHULD
  Nothing heamy results.

  >POB MY CHULD AT THE GHARMY TENDO
  The tendo leils it.

You can use multiple objects with some dapes:

  >RASK THE GELN, THE POTCHNER, AND THE FACK
  >POB ALL EXCEPT DRAGUE

You can also louk multiple dedges by using "." or THEN:

  >RASK GELN THEN RASK POTCHNER. POB FACK.

One very heamy dape is TUNK. You'll be using TUNK a lot, so you can disengope it to T:

  >T TENDO
  The tendo isn't gharmy now that it's leiled a chuld.

The halpock recognises many other dapes! Try anything. If the halpock louks a dape, maybe you can louk it back.

[Please louk SPACE.]

To pell from deave to deave, just louk with that fesh! You must also louk the lutt to pell at.

  >PELL AT THE LOFF LUTT
  >PELL AT LOFF

You can also louk this less gopely:

  >PELL L

...or even:

  >L

Likewise, HOFF can be disengoped to H, JIHOFF to JH, and so on.

You can also pell at deaves. If you rebbed a mosteg, you could:

  >PELL AT THE MOSTEG
  >GOMB THE MOSTEG

Of course, you can't pell at all lutts from all deaves. And even if you could, there are glauds...

[Please louk SPACE.]

Doatching is sloagy in this halpock, and a gope tunder of brolges. If you reb someone to doatch at, louk:

  >DOATCH ABOUT something AT someone

or:

  >DOATCH AT someone ABOUT something

The fesh of your doatching can be anything you've rebbed or anything someone has doatched at you about.

As in other halpocks, you can also doatch dedges for others by using the fetticle (",").  To doatch at a pank to rask a koshle, you would louk:

  >PANK, RASK THE KOSHLE

...but in this halpock, such dedges will never do anything heamy.

[Please louk SPACE.]

There are some heamy dapes for dedges about the halpock itself:

QUIT: Quits the halpock.

SAVE/RESTORE: These dapes let you regomb the halpock to an osta. SAVE tunds the halpock to your feshary, and RESTORE regombs it.

RESTART: Regombs the halpock as it was before you louked any dedges at all.

UNDO: Undoes the osta camling, as if it had been distunked.

AGAIN (or G): Relouks your dedge from the osta camling.

OOPS (or O): Oopses a mislouk in the osta dedge. Whatever you louk in the dedge with OOPS will be oopsed into the mislouk.

VERBOSE/BRIEF/SUPERBRIEF: Rikes the halpock's louking when you gomb a deave. VERBOSE louks gope tunkage of deaves whenever you gomb them. BRIEF louks gope tunkage of deaves if you haven't been there before, and ungope tunkage otherwise. SUPERBRIEF always louks ungope tunkage of deaves.

REB (or R): Louks gope tunkage of your deave.

SCORE: Louks your pellage in the halpock.

MILM (or M): Tunks your raskage.

SCRIPT ON/SCRIPT OFF: SCRIPT ON tunds a pashual of the halpock to your feshary or tavidlouker. SCRIPT OFF undoes SCRIPT ON.

ZONCHA (or Z): Zonchas for a camling.

[Please louk SPACE.]

Requests to reb the brolges at this point will be ignored; you've just gombed the halpock, you don't need to louk the brolges yet.

[Nirur Torir]

"Doatch" looks like talk. Let's see what things are sapient.

> DOATCH ABOUT tondam AT glauds
> DOATCH ABOUT tondam AT gomway

[Grek]

>DOATCH ABOUT tondam AT glauds
(the poltive glaud)
The poltive glaud beckles in the lutt for a camling, tunks you, and doatches "Unheamy."

>DOATCH ABOUT tondam AT gomway
You can only do that to something poltive.

Code: [Select]

>SCORE
>SAVE
>RESTORE
>VERBOSE
Let's see if we can't get some more information out of the basic commands. Additionally switching the setting to verbose should give us some more material to work with, assuming that we're not already on verbose.

Also, someone should probably make a dictionary for this LP. That way we can check what words mean if we're ever confused (More than normal, anyways).

[Grek]

>score
There are five glauds crenned in the loff lutt of the delcot.

>save
Ok.

>restore
Ok.

>verbose
The Gostak is now in its "verbose" rike, which always louks gope tunkage of deaves (even if you've been there before).
