-- How about the word novices instead of newbies? --JdBerry - 10 Sep 2002

-- Done. DGJ - 10 Sep 2002

LeeAnnKorecky - 21 Nov 2002 Added "it is." Deleted a comma. Added a period. Made the last sentence into a sentence.

Fixed the sentence fragment created by the above author's conversion of a predicate into a whole sentence. Likewise removed "it is" in order to preserve the pattern all the other definitions follow. -- DGJ - 13 Jan 2003

I find it interesting that of all the IF games created, only two could be found as an example of purple prose. Surely you can do better. Aurora 18:28, 7 October 2007 (PDT)

I guess you mean "we" can do better. Well, here are some other games that have been mentioned on r*if as having purple prose: The Ritual of Purification, Pentari, Enter the Dark, Pathfinder, Where Evil Dwells. Probably any Rybread Celsius game. I'm not adding any right now, because I'd rather get more of a consensus. -- cendare 18:54, 7 October 2007 (PDT)

1) This is an age-old phenomenon. The original Adventure and Zork II were prime examples. 2) No, I really did mean "you" (generic plural).
