In the real world we'd just wait for him to leave.  Martin That's a great idea WAIT until Lobo leaves |

Have we tried riding the bike? Martin No but I'm sure it's alarmed/locked and we don't need to go anywhere. We'd just have to come back again. |

Probably lead to us suddenly and violently dying of thirst, hunger, heat, cold, random lightning strike and/or boredom. Martin |

Only command so far is leave the dolphin on the bike and then hide before using the hacking device.
There's been a fair bit of discussion, are you going with that?

PUT dolphin by bike HIDE USE hacking device to set off bike alarm
An angry shout emanates from the bar, the doors smash open as the white skinned man stands fuming in the entrance where they once stood. Without a crowd around the bike, his focus is concentrated in the immediate area. As time seemingly slows, the last thing you see is him reaching round behind him and the bright muzzle flashes releasing a stream of bullets towards everyone who is close enough to be a possible perpetrator.
GAME OVER Final Score: 72/250
Please use RESTART or LOAD commands to continue playing. |

He didn't even register the dolphin. Thanks for giving me the index title, I was wondering what I'd put for this GAME OVER. |

LOAD 2.137.
GO to conference centre doorman.
SAY "I couldn't find you any sherbert. Have a dolphin, though I fear it's defective."

Hmm. So despite the fact we *knew* the bike was alarmed and were trying to set it off, we still panicked when it did go off.
So what does this tell us. If the bike alarm goes off it's automatically game over, so that's not what we need to do. We tried to disable the alarm with the hacking device before, which didn't work. That leaves us with a dolphin. Do we just put the dolphin outside the bar and wait? That seems silly, because there's no event to make Lobo come out.

Debatable I'd say. We didn't die when we examined the bike and that was when we saw the flashing light pulsing more quickly the closer we got. Definitely an alarm. Besides, our intention was to trigger the alarm, so we wouldn't have been near the bike if we didn't think it had one.
Anyway, what now, if Stom is telling us this solution is too complicated, what's simple, doesn't set off the alarm, doesn't need us to go into the bar (which we know is automatic death now), distracts Lobo and means he doesn't see us?

Get someone else to take Lobo the dolphin as a present? He'd have no reason to kill them. Would that make him go all gooey and leave?
I'd like to try and get into the conference centre, by either the front or the back. Have we acquired anything we can use as a bribe?

I think that puzzle is clear. The doorman checks his tablet when you arrive to see if you're on the guest list and the room round the back is conveniently the IT room. We get in there, add our name to the list and go back to the doorman. I can't think of any reason why else we'd need access to the IT room from outside the building.
Or maybe the doorman is a huge fan of yoyos.

And you think getting into the bar will gain us something that will help us get into the IT room?

No we need money for that. The IT room man is expecting a food delivery, so we need to buy a meal in the fast food place and take it to him to get in. But we need 5SP to buy a meal. To do that we need to get shot of the bike so there's space for us to busk with the juggling balls. We've had several responses that strongly suggest juggling would be popular and we know we're really good at it. When we juggled it went well until the guy taking photos of us knocked into the bike.
What part the bar plays in that we don't yet know because we haven't been in it long enough to establish what its three POIs are.

Course this is all supposition, but I'm trying to look at what the logical connections are between the objects and places. I can't see another way to link them at the moment.

I'm just trying to remember if there has been an instance where a puzzle needed more than one object to complete it. Using one object causes one action to happen. So the dolphin alone might solve this. Like you say, we could try to persuade someone to take it into the bar, but they all seem too frightened to go near him.

POIs either exist to provide flavour text, hints or to interact with.
Which POIs have not served their purpose yet and do you have anything that may match their typical purpose in any way?

GIVE juggling balls to failing street performer. Martin We've done that. He didn't want them. That was where we got the hints that we are supposed to do it. We haven't tried the yo-yo on him. |
