Well, there's no real substitute for Counterfeit Monkey. Not even a good RTD. Hell, not even a nice MLT.
It is to interactive fiction what Planescape: Torment is to RPGs or Life is Strange to adventures: heartbreakingly brilliant, hopelessly addictive and soul-crushingly unique.

Well, even so, it did give me an idea to do a Counterfeit Monkey RTD.

...Maybe I'll run it when I've stopped proctastinating. *yawn*
What will it be called?
*stares blankly*
Aside from "Counterfeit Monkey RTD"?

Well, I guess "Putting the Pun in Punic" could be an interesting one: a take on the Rome-Carthage opposition in an alternate universe where magic is based on manipulating the names of things.
Though, I suppose, the Punic Wars were too epic and slow-moving to really connect with the RTD's fast-paced nature. If anything, it's more of a writing prompt.
(A classic example of name-related magic from the original game: removing a k from one dangerously nosy character's "pink T-shirt" leads to an outcome that is cringe-worthy and hilarious at the same time. Removing p from the pink T-shirt instead is a humane but slightly less satisfying alternative, as is freaking her out with an ear that you've magicked up from a pear.)

But really, the name is something that will be defined by the game itself.
I'll figure it out once I'm done procrastinating. There's far more important crap to sort out first, such as the whole 'making money' thing.

Okay, so I fed T2T excerpts from Churchill's famous speeches.
Speeches went in, althistory came out.

Double back to Bob and make our way to the Groves by going uphill and asking people for directions every now and then.

Eh, I've seen worse.
Politely tap one of the frightened shoppers on the shoulder, looking him in the eye with confidence that he'll let me pass:
"Hey, mind if I pass through? I've got to find somewhere else to shop now that this stall has vanished on me."
Very few people refuse passage to a politely confident person.
Repeat the procedure as necessary, to make a way for myself without breaking the illusion of my innocence.

Fine by me, it takes me a while to write an action anyway.

Instead of searching for pigeons, search for cuckoos. I mean, what's the point of talking to victims if you can con the criminals into telling you what you need to know?

Wait, what does that even mean?! Is it because my name has "oink" in it? ???
Well, yeah. Isn't Homer's catchprase a reference to the sound pigs are hypothetically, theoretically supposed to make?

Maybe if you organised your local population to form groups to patrol the neighbourhood, keeping an eye out (much like Melbourne's PSOs do in small areas) and trying to keep this sort of thing from happening, but really it hurts just as much to read of a rape and/or murder occurring whether it took place next door or the next state over.     

I suppose every city could form its own li'l militia to wander around forestalling such crimes, but... I dunno, I'm pretty baked. *shrug*   

I have heard rumors that the pigs are supposed to do stuff like this instead of just beating up gays and murdering people with the wrong skin color.

Careful now, you are talking to a guy called Yoink.

It just came to my head that if future archeologists get their hands on a partially destroyed backup of the Internet, basic statistical analysis will show them that cats are the sacred animals of our civilization.
Just like we think they were to Ancient Egyptians.

I mean, as far as I know, the only reason we have for believing cats were sacred to early Egyptians are the retellings of Greek legends about Egyptians, which may have been composed after someone looked at the art from some of the looted tombs, and all those images they have of cats.

Whoops.
But now I know this game has Counterfeit Monkey-like mechanics, and knowing is half the battle!

Back away from the stall, pretending to be as surprised as the rest of the crowd.
Loudly exclaim "What the fuck? I was about to shop here! Way to attract customers, man!" to establish that the stall's owner is clearly the one at fault.

Duck into the crowd as soon as I can so the onlookers won't see me bail, then GTFO like a mofo.

Do the bird job. What am I going to hypnotize on the beaver one, logs and gators?

"You know what I don't give a shit about some damn birds, I'd rather help the beavers ya damn racist."
Gershom snorted and turned away from the zebra. Accusing him of racism? Him, a Sauermann, one of the chosen people? He would not even deign to answer that.
"Whatever. If saving the beavers is your thing, I'm not one to judge."
