Instead of taking palm tree: say "The palm tree is in an enormous pot, which you shake back and forth as you attempt to pull the palm tree out.

[Actions that carry throughout the game]

Deathing is an action applying to nothing. Understand "die" as deathing. Instead of deathing: say "[one of] 'That wasn't very smart.  Words can be powerful, you know!  You suddenly grasp your own neck, choking yourself, and unable to stop.  You briefly look surprised, then fall over, stone dead [or] 'A knife appears in the air in front of you, and plunges into your chest.  You look down in shock, realizing that you just wished yourself to death.'[at random]".; end the game in death.

Every turn:
	if the player is not carrying the invitation:
		say "[one of]'The Buttler approaches you and murmurs, Sir, pardon me, but this is an invitation only event.'[or]'The butler hovers at your shoulder and says, Really sir, I must ask you to leave, or the authorities will be called.'[or]'The butler steps in front of you and says, Ahem, sir, may I see your invitation?.'[at random]".
