Part - Episodes

Every episode has some text called the summary. The summary of an episode is usually "". Definition: an episode is verbosely described: if its summary is not "", yes; no. [ We use this to allow Progue to refer to past episodes, a trick we use once or twice.]

To decide whether an unimportant episode is playing: if current episode is Denial Dislike Convo or current episode is Denial Animus Convo or current episode is Denial General Convo or current episode is Denial Interrupted or current episode is Suppression Dislike Convo or current episode is Suppression Animus Convo or current episode is Suppression General Convo or current episode is Uncertainty General Convo, decide yes; decide no. [ Progue can make a reference in certain greeting beats to the last episode that happened, but for this to work, we want to exclude the regular conversation episodes that aren't unique.]

A condition for an episode (this is the episodes only happen on Lacuna rule):

if Exploring Lacuna is not happening:

if drama manager is being debugged, say "failed the episodes only happen on Lacuna rule.";

rule fails.

A commencement rule for an episode (this is the allow episodes to interrupt landmark-going on commencement rule):

if we-are-landmark-going is true:

tidy landmark-go;

clean up landmark-go.

A finishing rule for an episode (this is the allow episodes to interrupt landmark-going on finishing rule):

if we-are-landmark-going is true and Progue is enclosed by location and Progue is attentive:

tidy landmark-go;

clean up landmark-go;

decide no.

A finishing rule for an episode (this is the episodes usually end when conversation does rule):

if icebreaker of current episode is not silence and icebreaker of current episode is spoken and Progue is idle, rule succeeds.

When play begins: now episode schedule is Table of Ignorance Episodes.
