I just came up with the concept - a TBA where one person is the game and another is the player. This does differ from RPing etc as you can only give standard TBA commands and you're bound to classic TBA constraints etc. Anyway. Presumably you'll have played enough TBAs to know what to do, so I'll just get right on with it... You are in a forest clearing. Butterflies and other insects frolick happily in the long grass. The trees shelter this area from the wind and as such it is rather tranquil. Other mammals etc were scared off by your arrival but now they begin to return, approaching you curiously but warily from the wood.
The forest extends around the clearing in all directions, but to the North is a dusty path.

Not really proper syntax, but I'll allow it... The animals nearest to you are a selection of butterflies and crickets. Further away, a rabbit cautiously pokes its head out from its burrow.
Which animal do you want to approach?

approach crickets and butterflies (can't be rude and walk right past them to the rabbit, eh? ) Oh, DHeadshot, my YouTube homepage said you favorited something, the screenshot of which looked liked one of these games. I didn't have a chance to check it out. I've never played one of these games b4 so forgive my syntax until I watch that vid

I don't think I favourited anything like that, but I did "Like" one... The crickets fall silent as you approach, unsure of your intentions. The butterflies flutter off to complete their dance elsewhere.

oh yeah, that was it
Slowly sit in front of the crickets.
Lay out food pouch in offering (unsure exactly what they eat...)

This is way off syntax, but whatever. The crickets glance confusedly at the spam and beans you lay out before them, before hopping slightly further away and restarting their percussive song.

That's syntax! You see the small clearing you are standing in, surrounded by the forest. The grass is long and the air is still. A small distance from you, crickets chirp happily and butterflies continue their dancing to try and find a mate. The sun warms your shoulders and a smell of the meadow wafts to your nostrils. On the ground in front of you is the food-pouch from your belt. It is open, revealing its contents. In the Northern edge of the clearing, a dusty path disappears into the woods, where the trees thin out.

You have picked up your food pouch.I'm going to get pedantic with the Syntax on this one... I don't understand the direction "TO PATH"

as I've never played or seen much of one of these games I don't know how to correct that... sorry!

You give a direction or a bearing, eg "Go Forwards" or "Go West"

go north

Well done! You go to the Northern edge of the clearing. In front of you is a dusty path about a metre wide leading off into the forest. The trees are thinner here, so the path is easily passable. It looks like it may have been a forester's track at some point, though the footprints suggest that many different animals also use it for access to the clearing. The dusty path stretches away from you to the North, though you cannot see very far along it because of the twists and turns it takes to avoid the many large trees in the wood. You therefore have no idea how long it is.
