Premise
Write a game in which Hank Buzzcrack, Mother Theresa, and/or, T.S. Eliot are involved in a plot to steal any or all of thousands of litres of tea, the golden banana of discord, or a suspended mask. The player may make use at some point of an automatic chicken plucker, vibrating corn cob, automated corkscrew, or robot monkey. Bonus points for including Grant Stern, Gustav Schmidt, or an exploding baby. Ending time is 2100 MUDtime. Go!

Discord

by Sean Barrett

At first, you know six topics: mask, banana, tea, Hank, Theresa, and Eliot. Ask Eliot about tea and banana to learn two new topics: window and chair, respectively. Ask Theresa about chair to learn the crucial topic: cane. Finally, ask all three suspects about cane to solve your mystery. To wit:

>ask Eliot about banana. ask Theresa about chair.

>ask Theresa about cane. ask Hank about cane. ask Eliot about cane.

Screw the Boston Tea Party

And screw the shopkeeper too, it seems. It doesn't matter to him whether you pay for his merchandise, only that you have just one "valuable" item at a time when you leave.

>x me. i. x money. w.

>x cob. x baby. x monkey. x corkscrew. drop money. take cob. e. e.

>x Gustav. n. give cob to Gustav. w. w.

>take corkscrew. e. e. n. Gustav, e. e. d.

>x hold. x crate. open crate. x tea. screw hull with corkscrew.
