Gore <wiz>: just avoid turning it into a "lets guess the syntax" thingy.
Ggr <wiz>: indeed. there should be hints. and I prefer to accept multiple
different syntaxes, if appropriate. do plural forms apply? even if not, maybe
give a hint in that case.
Ggr <wiz>: people tend to have varying ways of thinking about problems, the
syntax you personally come up with might not even cross their minds.
Ggr <wiz>: e.g. accepting only "pull lever" and not reacting at all to move,
push, etc. tends to be bad.
<wiz>: Amd agrees with Ggr fully.
Ggr <wiz>: lots of old quests here are frustrating and considered "hard" only
because of such semantic factors, not because they are actually very complex.
Tyril <wiz>: pull lever whilst thinking of taylor swift
Tyril <wiz>: hmm that's a lot dirtier than i intended (ie no dirtiness)
