<div>[[IF-Review]] is a website that hosts reviews of IF games. The site was created and is maintained by [[Mark Musante]]. IF-Review prefers to focus on IF games released outside of [[competition]]s, and offers payment for the right to exclusively publish your new review for 30 days. After that, you are free to republish your review elsewhere, if you wish.<br />
<br />
In April 2006, the offered payment per review was $20 U.S. In April 2006, IF-Review had reviews of 63 games by 51 authors, reviewed by 20 reviewers.<br />

<div>Hi, Eriorg. I was wondering if I could ask you to make a comment on [[Talk:Game reference (style guide)#Language]]; I'd like to hear your opinion. -- [[User:Dswxyz|David Welbourn]] 11:20, 2 September 2006 (EST)<br />
<br />
<br />
----<br />
<br />
<br />
Hello. I'm trying to contact you because you're listed as being the one who's made pages about me on the wiki ([[Reiko_Yukawa]] and [[Reiko]]). I'd like to confirm that I'm the one who did the things on both pages and ask if you could merge them for me. Thanks. - [[User:telyni|Reiko]] (September 1, 2008)<br />
<br />
:Thank you for the info! I merged the pages. --[[User:Eriorg|Eriorg]] 10:53, 1 September 2008 (PDT)<br />
<br />
<br />
----<br />
<br />
<br />
Bonjour Eriorg, Ca va? That is my French vocabulary exhausted. Just saying hello and thanks for looking after the "Adventure Convention" and "Megapoints" etc pages. I am slowly adding a few edits when I can.--[[User:Froggy|Froggy]] 05:53, 17 April 2009 (PDT) <br />
<br />
:You're welcome! And thank you for your edits.<br />
<br />
:Could you confirm that the first Adventure Convention was in 1990, not 1989? I wrote why I think so [[Talk:Adventure_Convention#1989_or_1990.3F|on that page (link)]], but it apparently means that the homepage of the convention contains a mistake... --[[User:Eriorg|Eriorg]] 07:32, 17 April 2009 (PDT)<br />
<br />
::I have it on good authority that 1990 is the correct date. This should be confirmed next week as there is a meeting in London where Doreen Bardon will double check with those who were there. I will have to tell the convention site editor of the error.--[[User:Froggy|Froggy]] 14:18, 17 April 2009 (PDT)<br />
<br />
Thank you very much! --[[User:Eriorg|Eriorg]] 15:03, 17 April 2009 (PDT)<br />

Hi, Eriorg. I'm very happy with your contributions to IFWiki, and I'd like to give you more freedom to edit here. I'd like to make you an official admin of IFWiki with sysop rights as per http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Administrators . This will let you delete and undelete pages, protect and unprotect pages, and rollback changes on pages. I probably should have upgraded your status earlier than this, but well, have you ever heard the story of ''The Shoemaker and the Elves''? This may sound very silly, but I worry that if I make you an admin, you might disappear on me, and I don't want you to go! It also occurred to me that I should ask first if you want to be an admin; if I'm reading this correctly, I can't remove admin privileges once granted.<br />
<br />
So, do you want to be an admin? (yes/no/maybe/request more info) Let me know!<br />
<br />
In unrelated news, I've emailed baf regarding our latest spambot attacks, and I suggested yet another set of strings to append to the $wgSpamRegex variable, but it feels like I'm trying to fix a leaky pipe with a box of Band-Aids. If you can think of a way we can block this spambot more effectively, please let me or baf know. Thanks. -- [[User:Dswxyz|David Welbourn]] 07:42, 24 July 2009 (PDT)<br />
<br />
:Well, maybe! It would certainly be useful for deleting spam pages, at least...<br />
<br />
:But I'm a bit afraid that I could delete some things irrevocably by accident... Could it happen? As a non-administrator, I'm sure I can't make any changes which can't be reverted, and that's reassuring :-) .<br />
<br />
:About the $wgSpamRegex variable, I have no idea at all; I don't even know what a $wgSpamRegex variable is. I don't know much about managing websites/wikis/servers in general; I hope it's not a problem for an administrator? --[[User:Eriorg|Eriorg]] 10:36, 24 July 2009 (PDT)<br />
<br />
::Deleting isn't quite that accident-prone. Clicking the delete tab takes you to a page that asks you why you're deleting it and the real delete button. So it's a two-step process. But even if you accidentally deleted a page, I believe admins can undelete it via the deletions log page. (So far, I've never needed to undelete, so I don't know if there's a time when pages are completely truly unrecoverable.)<br />
<br />
::$wgSpamRegex is a variable in one of the code files. I can't edit it, but baf can. If defined, it specifies patterns of text that the wiki software can veto from any new edits. Behind the scenes, I've been asking baf to add patterns to this variable in the hopes of blocking our spambot. Obviously we've only been partially successful. Perhaps we need to try to make the creation of new accounts more difficult; I'm not really sure yet. Anyway, you needn't worry about $wgSpamRegex at all. I just thought you might want to know what I've tried so far, or that you might have your own suggestions. -- [[User:Dswxyz|David Welbourn]] 12:40, 24 July 2009 (PDT)<br />

Hello, Eriorg! I was adding all the testing credits for [[Snowquest]] to the various people's pages when I encountered the problem that I couldn't save [[El Clérigo Urbatain]]'s page because it already contained, in an unrelated section, a link to his blog that is not whitelisted. It would be very nice if you could look into the matter, thanks! --[[User:StJohnLimbo|StJohnLimbo]] 00:25, 21 January 2014 (UTC)<br />

:I've added that blog to [[MediaWiki:Spam-whitelist]]; it should work now. --[[User:Eriorg|Eriorg]] 08:00, 22 January 2014 (UTC)<br />

<div>Inspired by [https://bluerenga.wordpress.com/2017/08/25/having-played-every-adventure-from-the-1970s-some-thoughts/], this page lists some important firsts in the history of Interactive Fiction, be it parser-based or choice-based, along with sources when available.<br />
<br />
Note that some of these firsts may not be "real" firsts because we don't know about even earlier games. For instance, ''[[Adventure]]'' was long believed to be the first (parser-based) adventure game, until ''[[Wander]]'' was rediscovered in 2015.<br />

<hr />
<div>A rating system devised by [[Andrew Plotkin]] to measure how difficult a particular work of interactive fiction makes it for the player to progress past in-game obstacles. The classic scale has five ratings (Merciful, Polite, Tough, Nasty, and Cruel), with definitions and examples (see the References section) listed below:<br />
<br />
{| border="1" class="wikitable"<br />
!Rating<br />
!Definition<br />
!Example 1<br />
!Example 2<br />
|-<br />
|<b>[[:Category:Merciful works|Merciful]]</b><br />
|Can never die or get stuck. The game is always beatable and no progress can ever be lost.<br />
|The player passes by a key, then walks over a bridge to a locked door. The player can recross the bridge to pick up the missing key.<br />
|There is a button labeled "Inorganic Vaporizer Ray". The game does not allow the player to press it, bringing up a message that it would cause her or him to lose all of her or his items.<br />
|-<br />
|<b>[[:Category:Polite works|Polite]]</b><br />
|Can die, but cannot get stuck. Beatable as long as the player has at least one save (no matter where it is), but some progress may be lost if the player character dies and the most recent save is far back.<br />
|The player passes by a key, then arrives at a bridge. The game warns the player that the bridge is unstable. If the player crosses (and sees the locked door), the bridge collapses, and the player dies (e.g. the player character may realize they have no way to proceed and automatically jump off the cliff that the bridge spanned). It is impossible for the player to save the game in a stuck situation and render the whole game unwinnable.<br />
|There is a button labeled "Inorganic Vaporizer Ray". If the player presses it, their items vanish, along with their pacemaker, causing the player character to die. It is not possible to save in a stuck situation.<br />
|-<br />
|<b>[[:Category:Tough works|Tough]]</b><br />
|Can get stuck, but this is obvious beforehand. Beatable by saving at obvious points.<br />
|The player passes by a key, then arrives at a bridge. The game warns the player that the bridge is unstable. If the player crosses, the bridge falls and the player is stuck at the locked door without the key. Saving here would render the game unwinnable. Avoidable if the player saves upon seeing the bridge warning.<br />
|If the player presses the button, their items vanish, making the game impossible to complete. Saving here renders the game unwinnable. Avoidable if the player saves upon reading the button's obviously dangerous label.<br />
|-<br />
|<b>[[:Category:Nasty works|Nasty]]</b><br />
|Can get stuck, but this is obvious afterward. Beatable by saving frequently or arbitrarily.<br />
|The player passes by a key, then arrives at a regular bridge with no warning. If the player crosses, the bridge unpredictably falls and the player is stuck. Avoidable if the player had saved frequently/arbitrarily before crossing the bridge. It is obvious that saving after the bridge falls renders the game unwinnable, even though there is no warning beforehand.<br />
|The button is unlabeled, but after pressing it, the game informs the player that their items are gone (or the player character abruptly realizes that their bag is much lighter, etc.). It is obvious that saving after this point renders the game unwinnable.<br />
|-<br />
|<b>[[:Category:Cruel works|Cruel]]</b><br />
|Can get stuck, and this is not obvious afterward. Beatable by saving arbitrarily to multiple files.<br />
|The player passes by a key, then arrives at a bridge. If the player crosses and sees the locked door, a thief silently steals the key and the player is not informed. The player is stuck at this point, but it is not obvious and it is easy for the player to save after they are already stuck. The player must revert to a file where they can still see the key present.<br />
|The button has no obvious effect. The player can only detect the effect of the button by obsessively checking their inventory. It is easy to save after pressing the button. The player must revert to a file where they still have their inventory.<br />
|}<br />

<br />
==Limitations==<br />
* Cruelty is only one element of a work's general difficulty. A mostly-easy work could earn a Nasty rating, and a very difficult one might be technically Merciful. (Design norms have shifted since the scale was proposed, making unwinnable states a less common concern and other aspects of difficulty more important.)<br />
* The scale has nothing to do with how ''often'' the player is likely to get stuck. (A huge game that is Cruel in one obscure situation and Merciful otherwise is classified as Cruel.)<br />
* The system was devised before UNDO or multiple-UNDO were standard expectations; the saving behaviour described in the explanation assumes that no UNDO is available. (Modern players expect to need saves considerably less than described; for instance, a Polite game doesn't need a save if you can UNDO at all.)<br />
* The distinctions between Polite, Tough and Nasty rely upon certain things being obvious to the player. Some will really be obvious to everyone (if the work ends in failure, everyone will agree it has become unwinnable); others are only obvious to some. Because of this, the distinction between Polite, Tough and Nasty games is not always clear, and has historically been subject to some debate.<br />
* Rating a game requires comprehensive knowledge of that work, which is not always possible in works with unpublished source code (and can be difficult to discern even if source is available).<br />
<br />
==Extensions==<br />
TVTropes has suggested three extensions to the ratings system, since removed from their source page. "Cruel" is rewritten here to compare it to the first extended rating:<br />
<br />
{| border="1" class="wikitable"<br />
!Rating<br />
!Definition<br />
!Example 1<br />
!Example 2<br />
|-<br />
|<b>Cruel</b><br />
|A player realizing they are stuck has some clue as to where they went wrong, and a correct guess can be verified immediately. Beatable by saving to multiple files, and which files to check can be narrowed down.<br />
|The player may notice that they passed a key before and it is no longer there. If the player remembers this and has multiple save files, they can figure out that crossing the bridge and the key being stolen happened at the same time, and this is immediately provable on a future playthrough.<br />
|A button that seems to do nothing is unlikely to actually do nothing in IF. If the player remembers this and has multiple save files, they can figure out that the button press and the inventory vanishing happened at the same time, and this is immediately provable on a future playthrough.<br />
|-<br />
|<b>Evil</b><br />
|A player realizing they are stuck has no clue where they went wrong. A correct guess can still be verified immediately. Beatable by saving to multiple files, but all of them must be searched through.<br />
|The key is well-hidden, and the player is likely to not realize that they passed it. The player must obsessively check all of their save files for the missing key. However, if they know where the key is supposed to be, they can immediately prove that crossing the bridge is what causes it to be stolen.<br />
|The button vaporizes all of the player's items and also opens the door to the next area. To actually proceed, the player must solve another non-obvious puzzle to disable the button's first function while keeping its second. The player cannot narrow down which save files contain the bad move and must obsessively check them all to figure out at which point their inventory vanished and what caused it. However, if they guess that the button was the cause, this is immediately provable on a future playthrough.<br />
|-<br />
|<b>Hell</b><br />
|A correct guess cannot be verified immediately. Almost certainly only beatable by consulting a walkthrough, as checking save files is not enough. <br />
|If the player chooses to cross the bridge without the well-hidden key, the key is not stolen but a future item far beyond the door is stolen instead. The player may cross the bridge, see the locked door, go back to find the key, open the door, and render the game silently unwinnable but not provable until much later. Even if the player can tell that the future item has been stolen when they get there (e.g. they see a broken safe), they cannot figure out that the cause was crossing the much earlier bridge without the much earlier key.<br />
|The button opens the door to the next area, but its vaporizer effect is delayed, happening dozens of turns later, a random number of turns later, or even one turn before the player needs each item. Even if the player obsessively checks their inventory every turn, they cannot figure out that the cause was the button, half of whose effects needed to be disabled. A save file in an unwinnable state is indistinguishable from a save file in a winnable state until much later, so it is very hard to prove that a guess is correct.<br />
|-<br />
|<b>Beyond Hell/Ninth Circle of Hell</b><br />
|Not even a walkthrough can guarantee that the game is winnable. It may be possible to guarantee victory only by watching hidden variables in the game's source code. (No known published IF works go this far on the rating scale.)<br />
|There are multiple different well-hidden keys, but the player only has the chance to take one. All keys open the door, but only one key prevents the future item from being stolen. Which key is the right one is randomized and the randomization changes every time the game is saved or loaded.<br />
|There are multiple puzzles around the button, but the player only has the chance to try one. Only one puzzle actually disables the button, and which puzzle is the correct one is randomized and the randomization changes every time the game is saved or loaded. (As before, if the player fails to solve the right puzzle, the button will still open the door to the next area but silently vaporize the player's items dozens of turns later.)<br />

<hr />
<div>Inspired by [https://bluerenga.wordpress.com/2017/08/25/having-played-every-adventure-from-the-1970s-some-thoughts/], this page lists some important firsts in the history of Interactive Fiction, be it parser-based or choice-based, along with sources when available.<br />
<br />
Note that some of these firsts may not be "real" firsts because we don't know about even earlier games. For instance, ''[[Adventure]]'' was long believed to be the first (parser-based) adventure game, until ''[[Wander]]'' was rediscovered in 2015.<br />

<div>Inspired by [https://bluerenga.wordpress.com/2017/08/25/having-played-every-adventure-from-the-1970s-some-thoughts/], this page lists some important firsts in the history of Interactive Fiction, be it parser-based or choice-based, along with sources when available.<br />
<br />
Note that some of these firsts may not be "real" firsts because we don't know about even earlier games. For instance, ''[[Adventure]]'' was long believed to be the first (parser-based) adventure game, until ''[[Wander]]'' was rediscovered in 2015.<br />
