LETTER-SORTER MODEL 32120b

User manual
SKIP TO THE END FOR A TLDR

Published by Tbage & Rushork

 Welcome.

If you are reading this, then you have chosen or been chosen by our nation to
use the letter-sorter 32120b as part of your national employment.

The machine is a great addition to our workforce, and by using it you are
contributing to our great society.

This user manual will guide you on your way to become a more efficient
worker. The great people of Paska need you to sort their letters quickly and
efficiently with no error.

Good luck, and glory to our nation.

 Starting out

Your goal is to correctly sort each letter into it’s respective category: Red;
Green; Blue or Invalid. To sort a letter, guide the stamp over the letter with
your MOUSE, and select the correct colour with NUMBER KEYS or TAB.

Invalid letters are ones that do not have:

- A correctly coloured seal.
- A correctly placed stamp or tracking
label.
This letter, for example, recovered by your
predecessor, has an invalid seal, and an
upside down postage stamp. The previous
candidate did not erase this disrespectful
letter, and that is why you have a job.

If a letter has a postage stamp with TRACKING, you must

ensure to hold SPACE so that the letter can be processed as a
tracked letter.
This will stamp the letter as before, but with a “T” on the Ink
mark. Forgetting to do so is permitted, but doesn’t look good
for you. Accidentally stamping another letter without a
tracking label is treason, and you will be charged appropriately
for wasting company time and money.
As time goes on, you will receive letters quicker as they enter our system.
Keep up, or get out. As you work, more complicated letters may enter the
room and require a trained eye.
LETTERS MAY ARRIVE MISSING STAMPS, SEALS OR OTHER
NECESSARY COMPONENTS. DO
NOT ALLOW THEM TO ENTER
THE SYSTEM!
 Your machine

All machines have flaws, and yours is not an exception. Make mistakes and
your machine will falter, causing it to expend more resources to correct your
mistakes.

Your machine has three main resources: RAM, CPU and Hydraulics. Ensure
to keep all as low as possible during your time under our employment. You
can keep track of these by looking at your resource monitor.

Cooling systems are installed, so your machine’s resources will get better
over time, but do not allow your desk to become cluttered with letters
otherwise your machine will suffer too.
 Advanced letters

Sometimes our nation will supply you with tools you can use to help you
complete your job.

Auto sort bomb - This letter will automatically sort all letters into
their correct colour zones. It will not tracking-stamp letters, so
you'll lose out on the bonus.

Colour suction bomb - This letter comes in 3 different colours

corresponding to each letter colour. Stamp this incorrectly and it will
disappear but stamp it with the same colour and ALL letters on the
table will sort into that colour, losing or gaining you points depending on
what’s on the table – use wisely.

Summon bomb - This letter will summon anywhere from 25 - 60

letters in addition to existing ones. The chances are that you'll get a
bomb. If you have a multiplier, you might want to use this letter to
summon more!

Column sort bomb - This letter will automatically arrange all non-
special letters into convenient colour-coordinated columns right
before your eyes. It will not filter out the invalid ones!

Trash filter - This Letter will highlight all incorrect letters currently
on the board, permanently. It will not sort them for you.

Use these tools wisely and sparingly, as they cost the company money.
TLDR
THE GAME WILL GET FASTER AND MORE CHAOTIC
THE LONGER YOU PLAY*

CORRECT LETTERS ALWAYS:

- Come in 3 VALID COLOURS. Red, Blue and Green. They match the
colours on the table.
- Come with a POSTAGE STAMP (shown below) which is
UPRIGHT.
- IF letters need to be TRACKED they will have a YELLOW postage
stamp. HOLD SPACE to activate tracking when you stamp a letter.
You will not gain negative points for missing a tracked letter, but you
will gain a lot more for doing it right. DO NOT TRACK INVALID
OR UNTRACKED LETTERS
- INVALID LETTERS must be DELETED. Stamp them with an
ORANGE LABEL.

OTHER INFORMATION

- PRESS 1 2 3 or 4 (NOT NUMPAD) to change colour, or press TAB to

screen and increase when you do things wrong. Doing some things
wrong will hurt more than others.
- WATCH OUT for letters with upside-down postage stamps, missing
seals, or seals with invalid colours.
