gran·u·lar (grny-lr)

adj.

1. Composed or appearing to be composed of granules or grains.

2. Having a grainy texture.

3. Biology Containing granules: granular cells.

 

Hmmm.... 1, 2 or 3?

 

I guess 2.

 

So a "grainy textured breakout"?

 

Hmmm....

I don't know. That may have too much of a pattern to be truly "granular".

 

But I'm not on the specially selected panel of judges.

When a winner of the waterproof match is determined, I have a question for them.

 

You are in a survival situation in a blizzard. You stumble on a cabin. In the cabin are 3 items that need a match to operate, and remember you only have one match. Those items are:

 

A wood stove

A lantern

A candle

 

What do you light first? Remember you just have the one waterproof match you won in this thread. :anibad:

Zork! That's the game I was thinking of the other day. Thanks for jogging my memory.

 

Now, what was this all about again? A match or something? I don't think that can be sent through the mail can it?

Being such a great prize, i'm thinking that he wouldn't even take a chance of sending it by regular snail mail anyways. Thinking that he will either personally deliver it or have the winner pick it up himself. I'm anxious to enter so hopefully the contest rules, along with the privacy poilicy, and instructions for usage of the match will be posted soon. :anibad:

I'd light the candle first.

From the candle I could light the wood stove.

 

Maybe by granular he mean complexion. I didn't know that GC affected ones skin.

Why do you ask that?

The question assumes you are using the one match to light one of three things.

Whoever wins the match.........please don't place it in a cache! :)

 

Not even a one of the plastic water proof match box containers? Is that against the game rules? Or, might someone start a real fire? Just want to make sure we're playing by the right rules of this game.

 

BTW - what are the rules?

Granular breakout? That sounds like something that happens when you get into a bunch of ticks/ chiggers.

Or something that happens a few hours after you eat way too much Grape Nuts cereal.

That's why I brought up Zork (which is an old word-based Adventure game if you are not familiar).

 

This is the Zork version of your answer (The ">" portions are what you type in):

 

You are in a survival situation in a blizzard. You stumble on a cabin. In the cabin are 3 items that need a match to operate, and remember you only have one match. Those items are:

 

A wood stove

A lantern

A candle

 

>Light candle

 

What do you want to light the candle with?

 

>Light candle with match

 

You hold the match up to the candle but nothing happens.

 

>Light match

 

What do you want to light the match with?

 

>Light match on floor

 

You scrape the match on the old floorboards. The match flares with light and emits a sulfurous odor.

 

>Light candle.

 

You hold the lit match up to the candle and it begins to burn with a soft radiance.

 

>Light wood stove with candle

 

You are not holding the candle!

 

>Pick up candle

 

Candle taken.

 

>Light wood stove with candle

 

The wood stove is made of steel and will not burn.

 

>Open stove door

 

Opening the door on the wood stove reveals a pile of wood ready for burning.

 

>Light wood in stove with candle

 

You light the dry wood in the stove.

 

Ouch! The lit match you were still holding burned your fingers. You drop it to the floor, where it immediately starts the floorboards on fire. Smoke pours up from the floor and you collapse as your lungs fill with the deadly gasses. You should have blown out the match.

 

**You have died**

 

Your score is 2 out of a possible 100.

You mean you can actually use those to store matches? I thought they were only used to hold rolled up sheets of paper <_<

Needle and thread to sew up open wounds, tightly rolled up toilet paper (don't want it wet when you need to use it). These things really come in handy besides matches. Military ingenuity. Oh! sheets of paper for log books work as well. Just wish people would close them tightly and not loose the o-rings. They have a purpose.

The curse of Zork, Zork II, Zork III, etc.... on my old Commodore 64... That logic just sticks with you I guess.

 

:(

 

I did them on a Commodore Plus 4. :anitongue:

 

The BEST games ever. (Note the sig line........)

This almost brings a tear to my eye. I spent sooooooooooooo many hours with the Zork series. It's what totally sucked me into computers so long ago. I can remember waiting for a couple of minutes for it to reload from the 5¼" floppies every time you died or had to start again for another session. Thanks for a great post.

Thanks!

 

I get some strange looks from people when I try to explain the allure of a game without graphics. "Huh?" they usually mutter and go on their way.

 

My favorite Infocom game was probably Trinity. I have them all on my PC now.

 

And on topic - I hope I win the match.
