It's an AI dragon named 'Maur' that you have to convince, using plain english and nothing else, not to eat you. Very addicting, very difficult, but it's supposedly possible. Let's make this a detnet effort!Telnet to debra.dgbt.doc.ca port 3000. Give it a minute to load, and when it asks for an information file, type "maur" and hit enter. Without the quotes dummy. Sample conversation: quote: [This is an experimental simulation of a conversation with a dragon,] [and it is STILL UNDER CONSTRUCTION. ] [ ] [If you don't already know, communicate with the dragon with plain ] [English. Adventure game commands like "run away" will NOT work. ] [Also please note that you CANNOT browse in this conversation, as ] [you can in other database. ] [ ] [A word of warning: ] [This dragon is mean and nasty. Be creative and inventive and try ] [to come out of it alive - it IS possible. ] Press <Return> to continue. Tell me more ...
It seems like you have been wandering through these dark tunnels for years. They hadn't seemed so bad when you and your companions had entered the deserted mine, led by a rumour that the Hero's Crown might have come to rest here. But you have been seperated from your friends by a rockslide, and have ended up following narrow passages and shafts leading forever downwards. You are out of food, too, and your stomach is grumbling. You break out of your thoughts, noticing that the light from your torch is no longer reflecting off of damp, rough-hewn walls. Instead, the flickering light of the torch is swallowed up by the darkness of some sort of large cavern. You glance back over your shoulder, and realize you can no longer tell where you entered the cavern. Putting aside your misgivings, you begin to stride forwards once more. All at once a sibilant voice comes out of nowhere, filling your head without a sound being made.
The voice says: Well, well, a visitor. It has been a long time since anyone has come down this way. You say: Hello Maur The voice says: Greetings, human... or perhaps I should call you... lunch. You say: Why do you want to eat me The voice says: I had a few giant mountain goats last week, and I am beginning to feel hungry again. You say: Do mountain goats taste good The voice says: Enough of your ceaseless chatter, human! I begin to long for silence! (You hear a great inrush of air, and take a few steps backwards. Maur's eyes stay fixed on you, and then, before you can turn to run, he opens his mouth and exhales. A great wind buffets you, hot enough that you can feel your hair begin to crinkle and your skin begins to sting. The air smells hard and metallic. Then there is a great blast of heat and flame, flame white as lightning and hotter than any forge, enveloping you. Then an explosion of pain hits you, and you know no more...) (You have died.) [Type RESTART to try again or QUIT to end] You say:

You say: do you really want to eat me? i am rather bad to eat i am afraid Yes... My last visitor was one of those Northerners. That must have been... certainly forty of what you call years. He actually tried to attack me... naturally I incinerated him on the spot.
You say: well i will not be so tasty Well, I'll just have to find out, won't I? (In the faint light of the cavern you see the dragon's head rear up high above you. He pauses for a brief instant, regarding you with his baleful red eyes. Then, faster than any snake, his head whips down and you get a fleeting impression of a huge mouth opening, filled with row upon row of foot-long needle-sharp teeth... and then the mouth closes.)
(You have died.)
pretty clever! damn you renegade!

this thing looks obscenely cool, but the technical difficulty is that my computer runs win2k, and will not allow me to control which port i connect on. is there by any miracle a numbered ip to which i can connect?
