| signs of confusion rule | "[as the parser]Look for emphasized object keywords ([o]things[x] you can examine) or emphasized [o]exit[x] keywords (places you can go). Type a single keyword and press enter to advance. If you can't see the emphasis on the keywords, type KEYWORDS. Type LOOK to get a fresh description of your surroundings. Type HELP to get access to more detailed instructions." |
| unnecessary movement rule | "[as the parser]Usually, you won't need to move within a single location; everything you can see is usually touchable. If you're trying to get somewhere that's not nearby, use emphasized [d]exits[x] keywords to move from one location to another, or type [d]landmark[x] to see a list of areas you can quickly move beween.[as normal]" |
| asking random questions rule | "[as the parser]You can't ask direct questions to the game. Try typing an emphasized keyword (or LOOK if you don't see any on the screen) or HELP for more instructions.[as normal]" |
| making assertions rule | "[as the parser]Please rephrase your command by typing just an emphasized keyword, or a verb like LOOK. Type HELP for more info.[as normal]" |
| starting command with i rule | "[as the parser]Please rephrase your command by typing just an emphasized keyword, or a verb like LOOK. Type HELP for more info.[as normal]" |
