I deal with environmentalists every day and I have made concessions to almost every such group extant. I will not now be bullied by the Chocolate Alliance.

Here’s a classic line, but from which classic? Tongue

You stand before a small bridge, the only means of proceeding forward. A simple sign planted in the ground nearby states “Stop, Pay Troll”.

Not TSoMI. Remember, this is an actual in-game text. It’s the quote-thread after all. Grin

Nope. It’s from a graphical adventure game, not a text adventure… Wink

Actually, I think Colossal Cave Adventure is right too.

Take a look at this:

http://mud.wikia.com/wiki/Colossal_Cave_Adventure

Other memorable lines from the game are:
-A sign at a stone bridge warns, “Stop, pay troll.

I remember the line from Xanth but it seems it’s actually a reference to CCA, which I’ve never played.

I would agree with you if the quote was “Stop, Pay Troll.”, but it wasn’t. It was “You stand before a small bridge, the only means of proceeding forward. A simple sign planted in the ground nearby states “Stop, Pay Troll”.Wink
