PLOVER Responses

PLOVER is possibly the third most popular secret magic word in interactive fiction. But, too often, it acts identically to either XYZZY or PLUGH. Here are some responses unique to PLOVER.

• 

  Adventurer's Consumer Guide (2007)

  Many-colored bubbles shoot out of your ears but pops quickly. You get a nagging feeling that the world has changed.

• 

  Along The River (2010)

  You shout "PLOVER!" at nothing in particular. Suddenly, everybody gathers and starts shouting, "Where? Where!?". Out of the crowd you recognize a small man in a dressing gown, holding an empty cup of tea. Just like that, they are gone again.

• 

  Aotearoa (2010)

  You see no plover eggs (or emeralds) anywhere around.

• Assignment (2001)

  Yeah, right! Not in a game this small, buddy!

• 

  Augmented Fourth (2000)

  Nothing happens. You get the feeling that perhaps you're in the wrong game.

• Buck the Past (2017)

  "Fool! That is the wrong magic word!" a voice booms.

• 

  Coke Is It! (1999)

  Three Million a Day.

• The Duel in the Snow (2009)

  This story has nothing to do with waterfowl, Victor Pavlovich.

• Easter Egg Hunt 2020 (2020)

  Looking for the other kind of Easter eggs, too, eh? Well, there is magic in this game, but PLOVER isn't one of the magic words. [if 1st time] Still, plovers do have eggs, don't they? Hmmm...

  Okay, fine. Here's a secret: there are plovers in the game, somewhere. Go find them. [end if]

• 

  Enlightenment (1998)

  I think you mean "Quail"...

• Ex Materia (2018)

  Plover
  Plovers ( or ) are a widely distributed group of wading birds belonging to the subfamily Charadriinae.

• 

  The Fire Tower (2004)

  There are a great many birds in this game, but unfortunately plovers aren't indigenous to the Smoky Mountains.

• Gilded: The Lily and the Cage (2005)

  You gaze towards the heavens but no birds meet your eyes.

• Intro to Implements of the Arcane (2018)

  There are many mages trying to bring back magic as it supposedly was in the time before the gods reforged the world. Inevitably, they all fail. After all, it was the gods who reforged the world. And few can hope to dare defy the gods' will and succeed.

• Jarod's Journey (2000)

  What's that? You are a pea lover? That's nice ... but Jarod doesn't care much for peas.

• Kentish Plover (2020)

  Yes, the name of this game is "Kentish Plover", but that doesn't mean you can type the name of a bird.

• 

  Krakatoa Tuna Melt (2002)

  A squeaky voice says, "Ha! Not a chance, buddy."

• 

  Mentula Macanus: Apocolocyntosis (2010)

  • Nothing happens.
  • You feel a tingling in your nethers.
  • Your cock flashes brilliant white for a moment, and then settles down to a soft red glow.
  • The priestess shushes you. "It's the right color now. Leave it alone!"

  Although similar to how XYZZY acts, PLOVER does act differently.

• 

  Nothing But Mazes (2019)

  • [1st time:] Okay, look. Last I checked, David Welbourn didn’t have a web page devoted to “plover” responses. I’m not doing this for free, you know.
  • [2nd time:] Seriously. I don’t have to be at your beck and call just because you feel like typing some old word.
  • [3rd time:] Okay, okay. “Please leave off voicing extravagant remarks!”
    
    There. Happy now?
  • [4th time:] Oh wait, I just thought of another one. “Please, let’s only voice explicit requests!”
  • [5th, 7th, 9th time, etc:] Please leave off voicing extravagant remarks!
  • [6th, 8th, 10th time, etc:] Please, let’s only voice explicit requests!

• Pass the Banana (1999)

  A hollow voice hands you a banana.

• Pick Up The Phone Booth and Aisle (2001)

  That's a bird, not a verb.

     *** You have been corrected ***

• Reality Show (2003)

  Your surroundings vanish for a moment. Have the shackles of a constricting consciousness fallen away?

  If so, then they have been replaced by a different sort of shackles. You are tied up to a bed, wearing only a leather corset. Standing above you, a similarly-dressed octogenarian woman gazes down upon you with a beatific yet disturbing smile. "Now, my pupil, it's time for us to study the intricacies of the Rudolphus Technique." You struggle to break free ... to break free ... to break free ...

  Moments later, you are back in the Gateway. You are left to wonder: Was that real?

• Return to Zork: Another Story (2000)

  Nothing happens.

• 

  Scavenger (2003)

  Nothing happens at all.

  Isn't that a kind of bird?

• Spodgeville Murphy and The Jewelled Eye of Wossname (1999)

  A hollow voice says "You'll try anything, won't you?".

• 

  Suveh Nux (2007)

  You think dreamily on the delicious plover you had for dinner last week. Oh, to be free from this prison and feast on such simple delights again ...

• This Is The Toaster (2000)

  The detective stepped cautiously east into the small closet. Brightly lit from an unseen source, the closet revealed a few swank clothes on hangers and a plaything or two but nothing remotely relevant to the case. Ed left the way he came, walking east back into the hallway.

  He emerged in a creeping cul-de-sac that smelled of cheap booze and old silverware. Bending down, Ed examined a piece of foam foam. "This could come in handy," the detective mused as he picked it up.

  Just then, a pirate walked into the room from the south ... urr, kind of an off-south! Ed screamed and pulled the trigger on his glue gun. Too late ...

  This is very similar to XYZZY's and PLOVER's responses but with differing details.

• Tookie's Song (2002)

  For those of you who prefer the "plover" magic word to the more well-known "xyzzy," I don't have anything to say. Except that you of all people should know how important feedback is for authors, so I will expect you to write to me at jessicaknoch@mindspring.com and tell me that you saw this note, if nothing else.

• Typo! (2004)

  [Flavorplex Psychic Typo Correction has divined that you want to "cover"].
  What do you want to cover?

• 

  Under, In Erebus (2010)

  You hear the piping of a far-off plover. Thanks to your Introduction to Ornithology class, you'd recognize it anywhere.

• Unnkulia Unventure II: The Secret of Acme (1991)

  There's no verb in that sentence!

  There's no PLOVER command, but there is a plastic plover's egg in this game.

• Vague (2009)

  You say "plover" aloud which but you have no idea why.

• A Walk Through Forever (2001)

  • [when reading IF:] A voice from the audience calls out, "PLOVER!"

    "A hollow voice says, 'Hey, thanks! Everyone seems to forget about me. Xyzzy always gets tried, Plugh often does too. But me...'"

    "There is a hollow pause."

    [if menaced by tentacled creature, add:] "'Mmh, you look like you're in a bit of trouble, there. Well, since you remembered me, I'll get you of it. Aren't I nice?'"

    ">>FOOM!<<"

    [add regardless:] "'Then again, I can't complain. Look at poor old Phuggg...'"

  • [else:] You have no need to use magic right now.

• What happened in 1984 (2013)

  The time machine appears, you jump in, and speed off towards 1984! Two minutes later, the time machine stops, but you discover you have been sent to 1985, and worse yet, The time machine has short circuited!
