Zork Discussion
Sikon: Eh? I get the joke, but a description's got to be slightly more verbose than that...

Doug S. Machina: I added this when I found the decription was empty. It just seemed like an amusing placeholder. I don't know enough about Zork to write a real description, I just picked up the "eaten by a grue" though cultural osmosis.

Dor: Expanded greatly, which unfortunately meant losing the original joke. (And the new one is a bit debatable — it takes up almost as much space as the actual entry, and monospaced text doesn't appear to work, at least not by just indenting the lines with spaces.) Fixed — using two @ signs does work.

Doug S. Machina: I like it: well done.

Note: the original joke was: 
"It is dark. This description has been eaten by a grue."

Dor: I deleted the stinger at the bottom of the page for two reasons: Firstly, it was formatted incorrectly relative to the rest of the page — lines beginning with a > are player input, not responses from the parser. Secondly, it contradicted the earlier line where the parser asks: 

Which tropes do you mean, the red ones or the blue ones?

If there are no red tropes, it shouldn't ask. (Admittedly, there currently are no red tropes anyway — but that response is too iconic to remove.)
