OK, I'll bite: What does "LWPI" stand for?
And can you recall what the hint was? I only know it exists
by hacking the object code, not by ever seeing it first hand.
There was also a hint saying "this isn't the Pirate's maze".
Again, I've seen it only via the object code, but I recall
that it cost you points to read it. (Dumb: Just save and
restore).
I see the same hint in the Inform port, but I can't make
it appear in the game. I've traversed every room of the
"vending machine maze" (aka, the Different Maze) but I didnt'
see it. What's up?
