dustin, THIS ONE I GUESSED WRONG. I THOUGHT YOU WOULD CHOOSE "INBOX". OF COURSE, IT'S A BIT AWKWARD OBJECT TO DESIGN A CAVE WITH BECAUSE THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE INBOX BUT YOU DID A GOOD JOB WITH ONLY ONE HIDDEN EXIT AS WELL :)

nesdori, THAT'S FUNNY BECAUSE I WAS WONDERING IF YOU WOULD GUESS THE I-CAVE TO BE "INBOX" OR "INTERMISSION".   
  
I THOUGHT YOU MIGHT THINK IT WAS "INBOX" BECAUSE YOU ALREADY SAID YOU EXPECTED O TO BE "OUTBOX" (NO SPOILER WHETHER THIS WILL BE THE CASE) :D  
  
FOR ME, "INTERMISSION" WAS THE CLEAR FAVOURITE BECAUSE:  
1. "INBOX" DIDN'T SEEM TO ME TO BE A VERY COMMON BD TERM - IN FACT, I FIRST READ IT HERE ON THIS SITE, WHILE JUST "STARTING POSITION" LOOKS LIKE A VERY INTUITIVE ALTERNATIVE. "INTERMISSION", ON THE OTHER HAND, IS VERY MUCH BD-ISH!  
2. THE PROBLEM WITH "INBOX" IS, UNLIKE "HIDDEN EXIT", THAT THERE'S EXACTLY ONE INBOX IN E V E R Y CAVE, SO HOW TO EMPHASIZE THAT THE INBOX IS ESPECIALLY IMPORTANT IN A CAVE?  
  
ANY GUESSES FOR J? AS I SUGGESTED BEFORE, IT'S NOT "JOYSTICK". MY CAVE IS ALREADY FINISHED AND I EVEN PROMISE I WON'T CHANGE IT JUST TO FALSIFY YOUR GUESS ;) ONE MORE SPOILER: I'VE COMBINED TWO J-WORDS, JUST LIKE THE B- AND D-CAVES :)

dustin, ACTUALLY, I HAVE A NEW GUESS FOR "J" (AGAIN I DIDN'T CHECK A DICTIONARY, IT JUST POPPED IN MY HEAD :) IT'S A WORD VERY RARELY USED NOWADAYS WHEN SPEAKING ABOUT BD CAVES BUT PETER LIEPA HIMSELF USED THAT WORD MULTIPLE TIMES IN BOULDER DASH 1 MANUAL :)

dustin, OH! I THOUGHT INBOX IS QUITE GENERAL TERM FOR STARTING POSITION. I TRIED GOOGLING IT AND IT'S FOUND ON MANY BD DOCUMENTS. FOR EXAMPLE IN "C64 BOULDER DASH INSIDE FAQ" WRITTEN BY LOGICDELUXE IN 2006.

nesdori, NOT A BAD J GUESS AT ALL! IF PETER LIEPA HIMSELF USED IT SO CONSTANTLY, THEN WHO AM I TO DECLINE IT JUST BECAUSE IT'S NO LONGER SO POPULAR? :D EVEN IF THE MODERN SYNONYME HAS ALREADY POPPED UP IN THIS BD ALPHABET, IT MIGHT WLLL BE VALUABLE ENOUGH TO USE IT ONCE MORE - BUT FOR THE SAME REASON I THOUGHT A SECOND J-WORD WOULD BE GOOD. ONCE AGAIN, INSTEAD OF A DICTIONNARY, THE BD MANUALS SHOULD BE SUFFICIENT TO FIND IT ;)

AS FOR "INBOX", IT'S ALSO WELL POSSIBLE THAT I DID READ IT BEFORE BUT DIDN'T REALLY NOTE IT. I USUALLY USED TO SAY "STARTING POSITION" ;)

dustin, WELL YOU CAN USE BOTH CONCEPTS IN THE SAME SENTENCE: "THERE'S A FLICKERING INBOX (OBJECT) ON THE STARTING POSITION AND AFTER THE BIRTH TIME HAS PASSED, ROCKFORD APPEARS FROM THE INBOX" :)
