 I sometimes get the message "your nose tingles" when a read a scroll. Does 
anyone know what this scroll is supposed to be?

    Your nose tingles there is no food on your level, yet you have read
a scroll of find food.

"Your Nose Tingles" is a result of reading a detect food on
a level with no food left.

"Your nose tingles" is the alternate message given when the conditions
aren't right, much like "You feel a sense of loss".  The message you
get when conditions are right should tell you what kind of scroll this
really is.  (Hint:  What is a nose good for?)

marie@nmtvax.UUCP (04/12/84)

This message is delivered when you read a scroll of food and fruit detection 
when there are neither of these things on the level you are currnetly
exploring.

The scroll that says "your nose tingles" is a scroll of
detect food.  This is a new one for 5.3.  It only says
that your nose tingles if there is no food on your current
level (analagous to "you feel a pull downward" for detect gold,
and "you have a strange feeling for a moment, then it passes"
for detect monsters or magic).

<your nose tingles>

The scroll of tingly noses is, according to my wife who plays rogue 5.3
almost incessantly whenever I leave the terminal unguarded, anyway, it's
a scroll of "locate food" - hence the tinglys if there is no food on the
current level.

the scroll giving the message "your nose tingles" ..... is a FOOD DETECTION
scroll. The message is given when there is NO food on the level.

A friend of mine is thinking about writing a multi-user
rogue (I plan on helping him with it).  That bad news (for
all you people) is that we're going to do it on our DEC-20 in
Assembler.  Some of the design issues we've discussed are 
things like how to keep the party together (that would seem
to be more interesting that having everyone bop around 
independently), how to decide how to "clock" things (does
everyone have to move in each "round-unit"?), of course what
to do if people buy it, and other such things.  Can anyone
think of some issues?
