Part 2 - False Leads

A false lead is a kind of person. 50 false leads are in Z1.

A false lead is usually improper-named.

A false lead can be unknown or known. A false lead is usually known.

A false lead has a person called the dead ringer.

Understand "woman" as a person when the item described is female. Understand "man" as a person when the item described is male.

Understand the height property as describing a person. Understand the build property as describing a person.

Rule for printing the name of a false lead (called the target lead):

if the age of the target lead is less than 2:

say "baby";

otherwise if the age of the target lead is less than 4:

say "toddler";

otherwise if the age of the target lead is less than 13:

say "[physical impression of the target lead] ";

if the target lead is male:

say "boy";

otherwise:

say "girl";

otherwise if the age of the target lead is less than 18:

say "[height of the target lead], [build of the target lead] ";

if the target lead is male:

say "teenage boy";

otherwise if the target lead is female:

say "teenage girl";

otherwise:

say "[height of the target lead], [build of the target lead] ";

if the target lead is male:

say "man";

otherwise:

say "woman".

To place a false lead:

DM "(Placing a false lead. ";

now the current person is a random false lead in Z1;

if a random chance of 1 in 2 succeeds:

now the current person is male;

otherwise:

now the current person is female;

let the age minimum be 5;

let the age maximum be 100;

now the age of the current person is ((a random number between the age minimum and the age maximum) + (a random number between the age minimum and the age maximum)) / 2;

determine the ethnicity;

name the character;

DM "The false lead's name is [given name of the current person] [surname of the current person].";

determine features;

now the current person is in the location.

Before examining a false lead (called the target lead):

now the current person is the target lead;

say "Looking at [the current person], you realize that [zhe] doesn't look all that much like ";

now the current person is the dead ringer of the target lead;

say "[given name of the current person] [surname of the current person], your [gr of the current person], after all."
