Premise
The game will take place (at least in part) in a Chinese restaurant. It will feature one or more of the following animals: pidgeon, elephant, or badger. There will be some kind of sculpture made of mud, and some character (PC or NPC) will be obsessed with either HAL or Doraemon, the robot-cat from the future (or both). Bonus points for including Santa Claus, a rusty crowbar, or previous speedIF games in your game. Deadline is around 12:15 US Eastern (MUDtime). Go!

Elephants and the Afterlife

by David Fillmore

Note: Don't give the peanut to the elephant, or you lose them both. Also, you can't refer to the pidgeon, but fortunately, you don't need to.

>x me. i. x peanut. (Soon after the third turn, an elephant crashes in through the east wall, and kills you.)

>x elephant. x me. x corpse. take peanut. x chimney. e.

>x mud. hit mud. x pigeon. x tree. u. (The elephant should follow you up the tree.)

>z. z. z. (After three turns without the tree no longer shading the mud, the mud should dry out and become dirt. But it's still called "mud".)

>hit mud. look. x crowbar. take it.

>hit chimney.

Health Inspector

by Joe Mason

Some of this game plays itself, for example: getting a point when you hear a cat in the kitchen. Also, if you don't push the table in the kitchen yourself, eventually a cook will do it anyway.

>i. x card. x menu. read menu. x cook. x front door.

>show id to cook. in. look.

>x crowbar. take it. x oven. open it. (You need to be holding the crowbar to successfully open the oven.)

>x table. push it. z.

Potsticker

by Nick Montfort

It's not necessary to have played "A Mind Forever Voyaging" before playing this game, but it helps.

>about. special.

You can go in the bar, but it's unimportant.

>n. x stool. sit on stool. buy drink. s.

Part 1:

>s. x students. record on. buy food. record off. abort.

Part 2:

>record on. x can. record off. abort.

Part 3:
