Code:
On the Shores of Death
  You find yourself on the white sandy beach of a wide, murky
river.  The sands at your feet are cool and moist, the soft trickle of
the nearby waters are a soothing sound.  Somehow, though, it is as if you
perceive these things through a cloudy haze...  They seem distant, almost
foreign, as if you were watching a play far away from you, observing the
scene through someone else's senses.
Obvious exits: e ne
A will-o'-the-wisp is here.

[HP: 89%] [ME:100%] [PE:100%]
> say Oracle
You say 'Oracle'

[HP: 89%] [ME:100%] [PE:100%]
>
A will-o'-the-wisp says to you 'You seek the Oracle? Prove your worth, then.'
A will-o'-the-wisp says to you 'You will have but one chance to respond.'
A will-o'-the-wisp says to you 'Sibilant words hiss'
A will-o'-the-wisp says to you 'and sounds go amiss'
A will-o'-the-wisp asks to you 'When you have what?'

[HP: 89%] [ME:100%] [PE:100%]
> sayto will My answer is a lisp.
You say to a will-o'-the-wisp 'My answer is a lisp.'

[HP: 89%] [ME:100%] [PE:100%]
>
A will-o'-the-wisp says 'You are incorrect.  You have failed.'
The will-o'-the-wisp glows.
You feel disoriented.


This is the first time this has happened to me, has anyone else had similar experiences? I know this is the correct answer because I have answered it before and it accepted it.

Odd...there have been no changes to the wisps or the oracle in a long while, so I don't know why they would suddenly not be working.

But yes, that is the correct answer, so it should have worked.

I will look into it.

Yes, this did happen to me once before, quite some time ago. The "rivers flowing to and from the center of the mountain" riddle, if I remember correctly. I never did figure out what the problem was.

IMMs - if anyone does experience this again, what's the proper procedure for logging it? If I understand properly, bug/typo reports are logged by room number... but anyone whose answer to the death-quest is flagged 'incorrect' is automatically moved to a different location.

Now that case I just changed the riddle and the answer. Too many people were using OOC info to answer that riddle. The correct answer is now a different answer than previously.

Did you say 'Oracle' then got a riddle you couldn't answer.

Then saying 'oracle' again. That could be the thing.

You can "Oracle" a second time and get a different question? Didn't know that, I'll have to try it the next time I am dead. If that is the case then I would have been flagged for question 1 and tried to answer question 2 because it was given to me. Why not have it repeat the flagged question 1?

Hmmm... And just to be a pain...

Is it so hard to type "Ι seek the Oracle"? :devil: Just for the joy of your character... (Similarly lame when saying "enter" to enter HQs, or giving the keyword only when doing quests)
