* Does the player mean...
|
|
(Disambiguating based on properties; Masochism Deli)
|
|
Multiple potatoes, with rules to make the player drop the hot potato first and pick it up last.
|
|
|
|
Here the player has several potatoes; we would like to make him more likely to drop the hot one, and more likely to pick up the cold one, all else being equal. At the same time, we want to phrase our rules so that they don't make the player try to take something he's already holding, or drop something he isn't.
|
|
|
|
So:
|
|
|
|
{*}"Masochism Deli"
|
|
|
|
The Masochism Deli is a room. "Recent restructurings of corporate policy restrict the 'lunch hour' to exactly thirty-two minutes, which means that no one has time to go out. Instead, you and your coworkers eat here, in the company's very own themed lunch room."
|
|
|
|

|
|

|
|
|
|

|
|

After dropping a hot potato:
|
|
say "The guy from Cube B sneers at your lack of potato-holding stamina."
|

When play begins: now a random potato is hot.
