TURN PAPER feels very unclued: several-part bug

Issue #69 resolved
Andrew Schultz created an issue

"A short note has been scrawled on the back of a printed notice of some sort.

To the next expedition:"

Reading the description I thought "To the next expedition" was the short note so I tried golgatem in the chasm. Especially since X NOTE shows this again.

  • maybe you could reject golgatem to look at the back?
  • if the player says golgatem, clue looking at the back of the paper?
  • SWITCH PAPER is a reasonable try
  • READ BACK is a reasonable try
  • SEARCH PAPER/L THROUGH PAPER/FLIP PAPER is
  • TURN is not listed in VERBS, so a player can't brute force

So I suggest first

"There's a printed notice:

To the next...

But you can see something scrawled on the back, too."

    Hopefully this will be clued better now. I implemented "look at back" and variants, and made SWITCH PAPER/MOVE PAPER/LOOK THROUGH PAPER/SEARCH PAPER synonyms for turning it.
