| CF | Release 1 / Serial number 200326 / Inform 7 build 6L38 (I6/v6.33 | ||
| CF | lib | ||
| CF | 6/12N) | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | Special thanks to Andy Fleming, Lorne Harris, Hall Hood, Isaac Orf, | ||

| CF | | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | You've been a member of the Thieves' Society of Greater Bintucket | ||
| CF | for | ||
| CF | almost a year, but they just got around to giving your first real | ||
| CF | assignment. It's a neat job. You're to enter the home of the | ||
| CF | reasonably wealthy Claude L. Prongleman and steal ten valuable | ||
| CF | items. | ||
| CF | According to the society's Investigation Committee, he'll be gone | ||
| CF | for | ||
| CF | a couple of hours. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | It's a warm spring night. As you see Prongleman leave the house, | ||
| CF | you | ||
| CF | sneak up and get a rear window open without much trouble. You slip | ||
| CF | inside.... | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | (Note: This game is a little unusual.) | ||

| CF | Bedroom | ||
| CF | This looks like the guest bedroom. There's a neatly made queen-size | ||
| CF | bed, a small chest of drawers, and a closet. In one corner you see | ||
| CF | a | ||
| CF | wooden figurine. A door leads east. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | > | DavidW says, "about, please" | |
| Knight_Otu says, "A little unusual." | ||
| Knight_Otu says (to ClubFloyd), "about" | ||
| CF | > | ||
| CF | > ABOUT | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | That's not a verb I recognise. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | > | Knight_Otu says, "Huh." | |
| DavidW says, "His games are almost always with limited vocab. I'm very surprised there's no mention." | ||
| Knight_Otu says (to ClubFloyd), "x me" | ||
| CF | > | ||
| CF | > X ME | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | You don't need to use EXAMINE or X in this game. Just type the name | ||
| CF | of | ||
| CF | the object you want to interact with. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | > | ||
| Knight_Otu says (to ClubFloyd), "me" | ||
| CF | > | ||
| CF | > ME | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | You're wearing the traditional attire of a cat burglar. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | > | ||
| Knight_Otu says (to ClubFloyd), "i" | ||
| CF | > | ||
| CF | > I | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | You haven't acquired any valuables yet. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | > | DavidW says, "so, figurine" | |
| Knight_Otu says, "So we just use the noun. Got it." | ||
| Knight_Otu says (to ClubFloyd), "figurine" | ||
| CF | > | ||
| CF | > FIGURINE | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | It's a painted wooden carving, about three feet tall. It's hard to | ||
| CF | tell what it's supposed to depict���maybe a moose on its hind legs | ||
| CF | holding two spoons? You check it over, but there don't seem to be | ||
| CF | any | ||
| CF | hidden compartments. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | > | ||
| Knight_Otu says (to ClubFloyd), "bed" | ||
| CF | > | ||
| CF | > BED | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | The bed is topped with a dark-blue spread and a couple of pillows. | ||
| CF | You | ||
| CF | look underneath the bed and discover a cardboard box, which you | ||
| CF | pull | ||
| CF | out. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | > | ||
| Knight_Otu says (to ClubFloyd), "box" | ||
| CF | > | ||
| CF | > BOX | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | You go through the box. It contains some old books, but no | ||
| CF | valuables. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | > | Knight_Otu says, "I guess there is no status bar." | |
| Knight_Otu says (to ClubFloyd), "chest" | ||
| CF | > | ||
| CF | > CHEST | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | You go through the drawers one by one. They're all empty. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | > | DavidW says, "This is strongly reminding me of Out of the Study." | |
| DavidW says, "Don't forget the books. Also try spoons." | ||
| Jacqueline says, "I'm still trying to figure out why you would make all the nouns verbs and subvert examine as a default verb." | ||
| Knight_Otu says (to ClubFloyd), "closet" | ||
| CF | > | ||
| CF | > CLOSET | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | You look inside the closet. It's totally empty. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | > | ||
| Knight_Otu says (to ClubFloyd), "books" | ||
| CF | > | ||
| CF | > BOOKS | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | You go through the box again, but you don't find anything. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | Suddenly you hear the sound of the front door opening! What? | ||
| CF | Prongleman has come back already? But the Investigation Committee | ||
| CF | told | ||
| CF | you he'd be gone for hours! | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | Feeling a little irritated, you leap out the window. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | Press SPACE to continue. | ||
| Knight_Otu pushes the green 'space' button. | ||
| CF | Press SPACE to continue. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | You return to the Thieves' Society. Unfortunately, you have nothing | ||
| CF | to | ||
| CF | deliver. Let's just say, they aren't very impressed. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | You didn't steal any valuables. That gives you the rank of | ||
| CF | Non-Thief. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | (Try again! You can do this!) | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | Would you like to RESTART (R) or QUIT (Q)? | ||
| CF | > | Knight_Otu says, "Well that was a surprise." | |
| DavidW says, "huh. Short game." | ||
| Jacqueline says, "huh" | ||
| Jacqueline asks, "Is it, though?" | ||
| Knight_Otu says, "Tight time limit." | ||

| CF | > SPOONS | ||
| CF | | ||

| CF | | ||
| CF | The first drawer is full of clothes. You go through it, but find | ||

| CF | > | ||
| CF | > NIGHTSTAND | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | There's an empty glass on the nightstand. It has a pair of doors, | ||
| CF | which you open to reveal a box of crackers. | ||

| CF | > | ||
| Knight_Otu says (to ClubFloyd), "crackers" | ||
| CF | > | ||
| CF | > CRACKERS | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | There's nothing in the box but crackers. Taped to the side is a | ||
| CF | note | ||
| CF | that says, "Button before knob before crank. Switch before handle | ||
| CF | before crank. Button before switch." | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | > | Jacqueline says, "Maybe the true treasure is the crackers we ate along the way." | |
| Knight_Otu exclaims, "But then we don't have them anymore!" | ||
| Jacqueline says, "Sorry. Just finished breakfast. Apparently I am still snacky." | ||
| Knight_Otu says (to ClubFloyd), "closet" | ||

| CF | | ||
| CF | You open the closet. Several suits are hanging on a rod inside. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | > | ||
| Knight_Otu says (to ClubFloyd), "suits" | ||
| CF | > | ||
| CF | > SUITS | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | You run your hands over the suits. They don't seem to have anything | ||
| CF | in | ||
| CF | them. On the wall behind them, however, you discover a red button. | ||

| CF | | ||
| CF | It's a framed print of the painting Flowers with Bugs by | ||

| CF | You've been a member of the Thieves' Society of Greater Bintucket | ||
| CF | for | ||
| CF | almost a year, but they just got around to giving your first real | ||
| CF | assignment. It's a neat job. You're to enter the home of the | ||
| CF | reasonably wealthy Claude L. Prongleman and steal ten valuable | ||
| CF | items. | ||
| CF | According to the society's Investigation Committee, he'll be gone | ||
| CF | for | ||
| CF | a couple of hours. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | It's a warm spring night. As you see Prongleman leave the house, | ||
| CF | you | ||

| CF | Bedroom | ||
| CF | This looks like the guest bedroom. There's a neatly made queen-size | ||

| CF | | ||
| CF | You realize the mirror is hinged. You pull it open to reveal a | ||
| CF | medicine cabinet sunk into the wall. The cabinet contains a large | ||
| CF | bottle of aspirin and a nail clipper. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | > | ||

| CF | > | ||
| CF | > PARCHMENT | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | It looks like an original letter from 18th-century French poet | ||
| CF | Maurice | ||
| CF | Valdier. Not sure the toilet was the wisest storage location, but | ||
| CF | the | ||
| CF | letter seems undamaged. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | > | Jacqueline says, "Oh, sure. That's where I keep all my old parchments." | |
| Knight_Otu blinks some more. | ||
| Knight_Otu says, "Well, we have our first treasure. We're not a total failure as a thief now." | ||
| Jacqueline says, "True." | ||
| Knight_Otu says (to ClubFloyd), "bathtub" | ||
| CF | > | ||
| CF | > BATHTUB | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | One nice thing about a bathtub is that it's very easy to tell | ||
| CF | whether | ||
| CF | it's got anything in it. This one is empty. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | Suddenly you hear the sound of the front door opening! What? | ||

| CF | valuables," she says, shaking her head. "We should have sent | ||
| CF | Pendergrass." | ||

| CF | | ||
| CF | It's yesterday's issue of the Bintucket Bullhorn. The | ||
| CF | front | ||
| CF | page story catches your eye. Apparently the vandals who were | ||
| CF | etching | ||
| CF | strange messages in windows and cars all over town have been | ||
| CF | arrested. | ||
| CF | They were not Bintucketers at all, but college students from nearby | ||
| CF | Pengsbury. The two who were caught were wearing green robes and | ||
| CF | headbands. They quickly ratted out the others. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | Their motives in writing such things as, "It's happening soon" and | ||
| CF | "Don't be left off the bus" remain unclear. No similar messages | ||
| CF | appeared in Pengsbury, and none of the students gave a clear | ||
| CF | explanation of why they chose Bintucket. Three claimed to be | ||
| CF | starting | ||
| CF | a cult, but one said they were just "goof-etching." | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | Oscar Links, owner of a downtown restaurant, expressed relief. "I | ||
| CF | think I was the hardest hit. All my windows were covered with this | ||
| CF | weird stuff. It makes me mad. But I guess when I was a kid, I did a | ||
| CF | lot of pranks myself. Nothing weird, though." | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | You glance through the rest of the first section. It's the | ||
| CF | pedestrian | ||
| CF | stuff you normally find in the Bullhorn. | ||

| CF | You've been a member of the Thieves' Society of Greater Bintucket | ||
| CF | for | ||
| CF | almost a year, but they just got around to giving your first real | ||
| CF | assignment. It's a neat job. You're to enter the home of the | ||
| CF | reasonably wealthy Claude L. Prongleman and steal ten valuable | ||
| CF | items. | ||
| CF | According to the society's Investigation Committee, he'll be gone | ||
| CF | for | ||
| CF | a couple of hours. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | It's a warm spring night. As you see Prongleman leave the house, | ||
| CF | you | ||
| CF | sneak up and get a rear window open without much trouble. You slip | ||
| CF | inside.... | ||

| CF | Bedroom | ||
| CF | This looks like the guest bedroom. There's a neatly made queen-size | ||

| CF | This is probably the most nicely furnished room in the house. A | ||

| CF | elegant | ||
| CF | chairs. A sideboard stands against the wall, and next to it is a | ||

| CF | Kitchen | ||
| CF | The furnishings in here seem older than the rest of the house. In | ||
| CF | particular, the refrigerator and the oven must have seen better | ||
| CF | days. | ||
| CF | A counter runs along one wall. It contains a sink, and there are | ||
| CF | several cabinets above it and drawers below it. A door leads south. | ||

| CF | | ||

| CF | | ||
| CF | You open the third drawer. It's full of cutlery. It occurs to you | ||
| CF | that | ||

| CF | items. | ||
| CF | According to the society's Investigation Committee, he'll be gone | ||
| CF | for | ||
| CF | a couple of hours. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | It's a warm spring night. As you see Prongleman leave the house, | ||

| CF | You've been a member of the Thieves' Society of Greater Bintucket | ||

| CF | assignment. It's a neat job. You're to enter the home of the | ||
| CF | reasonably wealthy Claude L. Prongleman and steal ten valuable | ||
| CF | items. | ||
| CF | According to the society's Investigation Committee, he'll be gone | ||
| CF | for | ||
| CF | a couple of hours. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | It's a warm spring night. As you see Prongleman leave the house, | ||

| Knight_Otu asks, "Should I get the treasures in the toilet, the box, and the study before pressing the study button?" | ||
| Knight_Otu says, "Then we may have a better idea." | ||
| Jacqueline says, "Well, if we are curious, I could look at just the first runthrough and then a runthrough where we got a thing and count." | ||
| Jacqueline says, "I guess I am willing." | ||
| Jacqueline says, "I would be away for a second though." | ||
| DavidW says, "I'm trying to see how many treasures we've seen. I count 7, including the jade turtle." | ||
| Knight_Otu says, "Parhment, pin, coin, turtle, trophy, diamond? from the cushion, model car..." | ||
| DavidW says, "parchment, pin, car, coin, jewel, trophy, turtle. And the safe *must* have a treasure." | ||

| CF | items. | ||
| CF | According to the society's Investigation Committee, he'll be gone | ||
| CF | for | ||
| CF | a couple of hours. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | It's a warm spring night. As you see Prongleman leave the house, | ||

| CF | It's yesterday's issue of the Bintucket Bullhorn. The | ||
| CF | front | ||
| CF | page story catches your eye. Apparently the vandals who were | ||
| CF | etching | ||
| CF | strange messages in windows and cars all over town have been | ||
| CF | arrested. | ||
| CF | They were not Bintucketers at all, but college students from nearby | ||
| CF | Pengsbury. The two who were caught were wearing green robes and | ||
| CF | headbands. They quickly ratted out the others. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | Their motives in writing such things as, "It's happening soon" and | ||
| CF | "Don't be left off the bus" remain unclear. No similar messages | ||
| CF | appeared in Pengsbury, and none of the students gave a clear | ||
| CF | explanation of why they chose Bintucket. Three claimed to be | ||
| CF | starting | ||
| CF | a cult, but one said they were just "goof-etching." | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | Oscar Links, owner of a downtown restaurant, expressed relief. "I | ||
| CF | think I was the hardest hit. All my windows were covered with this | ||
| CF | weird stuff. It makes me mad. But I guess when I was a kid, I did a | ||
| CF | lot of pranks myself. Nothing weird, though." | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | You glance through the rest of the first section. It's the | ||
| CF | pedestrian | ||
| CF | stuff you normally find in the Bullhorn. | ||

| CF | | ||
| CF | You look through the lifestyle section. There are a few short | ||
| CF | articles | ||
| CF | about home decorating, a story on residents with unusually large | ||
| CF | pets, | ||
| CF | and an interview with Ramona Flis, Bintucket's oldest resident. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | This issue also has the weekly "Ask Bert" column. Bert Hinklis has | ||
| CF | been with the Bullhorn for at least twenty years, and he's | ||
| CF | well-known for his earnest advice. A young student writes in, | ||
| CF | asking | ||
| CF | what she should do after she discovered her classmate cheating. | ||
| CF | Bert | ||
| CF | says it depends whether the classmate is a friend or an enemy. | ||
| CF | Someone | ||
| CF | else asks about the etiquette of inviting people to a party when | ||
| CF | they | ||
| CF | know you're having the party, but you don't want them to come. Bert | ||
| CF | recommends hiring a bouncer. | ||

| CF | The sports section is always the shortest, consisting mostly of | ||
| CF | stats | ||
| CF | and results for pro teams around the country. Apparently the | ||
| CF | Bintucket | ||
| CF | High basketball team has had no relief from its slump. If they lose | ||
| CF | one more, that will be two consecutive no-win seasons. | ||

| CF | The business section comes last. National Scissors has been | ||
| CF | reconsidering its plans to open a branch office in Bintucket. | ||
| CF | Slower-than-expected scissors sales are to blame, but company | ||
| CF | representatives say there's still a chance. The mayor's office | ||
| CF | released a statement saying, "National Scissors, don't cut us out!" | ||
| CF | The CEO responded that the jokes get old fast. | ||

| CF | Storage Room | ||
| CF | This room stores a variety of things. A heap in the middle of the | ||

| CF | You've been a member of the Thieves' Society of Greater Bintucket | ||
| CF | for | ||
| CF | almost a year, but they just got around to giving your first real | ||
| CF | assignment. It's a neat job. You're to enter the home of the | ||
| CF | reasonably wealthy Claude L. Prongleman and steal ten valuable | ||
| CF | items. | ||
| CF | According to the society's Investigation Committee, he'll be gone | ||
| CF | for | ||
| CF | a couple of hours. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | It's a warm spring night. As you see Prongleman leave the house, | ||
| CF | you | ||
