Floyd | word...
Floyd |
Floyd | There is no need for her to finish as the tightness of her puffy lips
Floyd | and the steel in her eyes tells you all you need to know.
Floyd |
Floyd | Your enormous and absolutely terrifying mother stares intently at you
Floyd | for an excruciatingly long moment before she turns around. She stomps
Floyd | away towards the next room, and then she stops. Just when you think
Floyd | that she is going to move on, she turns and comes back. Your heart
Floyd | nearly escapes your body when she smiles.
Floyd |
Floyd | convinced now that your mother is an alien, or something unimaginably
Floyd | worse, you try to back away from her. There is no way out though. In
Floyd | one smooth move, she rips Teddy from your grasp and you can barely
Floyd | stop a shriek of horror as his warm fur looses contact with you. She
Floyd | starts to walk away again but changes her mind. She places Teddy on
Floyd | the counter, brings a chair over, steps up on the chair herself and
Floyd | places Teddy on top of the cabinet. It's the scary place, alldarkness,
Floyd | dust and eight-legged creatures. Without mercy, she shoves him into
Floyd | the corner up there. The dark corner.
Floyd |
Floyd | You look for Teddy up there in the scary place, longing for him.
Floyd |
Floyd | Mother brings the chair with her, grabs the second chair in passing
Floyd | the table, and carries them off with her. She doesn't give you another
Floyd | glance. After a few more moments, you can hear the clinking of cups
Floyd | and the creaking from living room furniture under strain.
Floyd |
Floyd | You look at the darkness where Teddy is, although all you see is a
Floyd | vague brown and red shape, and you know in your heart that Teddy is
Floyd | reaching for you. Teddy is afraid of high places, high and dark places
Floyd | in particular. Does she not know?

Floyd | The Kitchen (in the dark corner)
Floyd | This is the kitchen. Here, you spend most of your time, mostly sitting
Floyd | quietly in the corner. There is a stove, a monster of a stove, in one
Floyd | corner. A giant pot of pea soup is puttering away on top of it. A
Floyd | solid wooden table takes pride of place in the middle of the kitchen,
Floyd | although it looks strange without the chairs. A huge cabinet with
Floyd | glass doors stands in the corner opposite to the dark corner. It's
Floyd | full of that yucky china that Mother seems to like so much. Above the
Floyd | cabinet, it is dark. Too dark for a poor Teddy.
Floyd | There is a lot of counter too, with two big drawers and a bread box.
Floyd |
Floyd | You can see a dark hole behind a loose board (which is empty) here.

Floyd | The Kitchen
Floyd | This is the kitchen. Here, you spend most of your time, mostly sitting

Floyd | corner. A giant pot of pea soup is puttering away on top of it. A
Floyd | solid wooden table takes pride of place in the middle of the kitchen,
Floyd | although it looks strange without the chairs. A huge cabinet with
Floyd | glass doors stands in the corner opposite to the dark corner. It's
Floyd | full of that yucky china that Mother seems to like so much. Above the
Floyd | cabinet, it is dark. Too dark for a poor Teddy.
Floyd | There is a lot of counter too, with two big drawers and a bread box.

Floyd | The Kitchen (in the dark corner)
Floyd | This is the kitchen. Here, you spend most of your time, mostly sitting
Floyd | quietly in the corner. There is a stove, a monster of a stove, in one
Floyd | corner. A giant pot of pea soup is puttering away on top of it. A
Floyd | solid wooden table takes pride of place in the middle of the kitchen,
Floyd | although it looks strange without the chairs. A huge cabinet with
Floyd | glass doors stands in the corner opposite to the dark corner. It's
Floyd | full of that yucky china that Mother seems to like so much. Above the
Floyd | cabinet, it is dark. Too dark for a poor Teddy.
Floyd | There is a lot of counter too, with two big drawers and a bread box.

Floyd | There is no need for her to finish as the tightness of her puffy lips
Floyd | and the steel in her eyes tells you all you need to know.
Floyd |
Floyd | Your enormous and absolutely terrifying mother stares intently at you
Floyd | for an excruciatingly long moment before she turns around. She stomps
Floyd | away towards the next room, and then she stops. Just when you think
Floyd | that she is going to move on, she turns and comes back. Your heart
Floyd | nearly escapes your body when she smiles.
Floyd |
Floyd | convinced now that your mother is an alien, or something unimaginably
Floyd | worse, you try to back away from her. There is no way out though. In
Floyd | one smooth move, she rips Teddy from your grasp and you can barely
Floyd | stop a shriek of horror as his warm fur looses contact with you. She
Floyd | starts to walk away again but changes her mind. She places Teddy on
Floyd | the counter, brings a chair over, steps up on the chair herself and
Floyd | places Teddy on top of the cabinet. It's the scary place, alldarkness,
Floyd | dust and eight-legged creatures. Without mercy, she shoves him into
Floyd | the corner up there. The dark corner.
Floyd |
Floyd | You look for Teddy up there in the scary place, longing for him.
Floyd |
Floyd | Mother brings the chair with her, grabs the second chair in passing
Floyd | the table, and carries them off with her. She doesn't give you another
Floyd | glance. After a few more moments, you can hear the clinking of cups
Floyd | and the creaking from living room furniture under strain.
Floyd |
Floyd | You look at the darkness where Teddy is, although all you see is a
Floyd | vague brown and red shape, and you know in your heart that Teddy is
Floyd | reaching for you. Teddy is afraid of high places, high and dark places
Floyd | in particular. Does she not know?

ClubFloyd Transcript:
The Angel Curse by David Welbourn
A speedIF O entry by David Welbourn
It's Easter, Peeps! by Sara Brookside
As played on ifMUD on April 20, 2014

The idea behind ClubFloyd is that each week at a pre-arranged time, a group of people meet online to cooperatively play a game of interactive fiction.

Below is a transcript of The Angel Curse, A speedIF O entry, and It's Easter, Peeps!

The Angel Curse and A speedIF 0 entry were written by David Welbourn. It's Easter Peeps was written by Sara Brookside, and the version of it that we played was ported to Inform by David Welbourn. So it was essentially a David Welbourn day on ClubFloyd. You can learn more about the games, including how to download them, by visiting the IFDB pages: The Angel Curse, A speedIF O entry, and It's Easter, Peeps!.

WARNING! Below you will find a transcript of people playing these games, and it goes without saying that the transcript is full of spoilers. So, if you've never played these games, and think you might like to at some point, I do not recommend reading any further. Instead, you might want to return to the interactive fiction page.

To skip directly to a particular game, click on its title:

#ClubFloyd Discussion
		

		Jacqueline says, "So, um, yeah. About this ClubFloyd thing."
		Jacqueline says, "I should get back into being a good organizer."
Jacqueline gets bored and wanders off to the Toyshop. 		
Jacqueline arrives, ready to play with the toys. 		Jacqueline says, "huh. Floyd can't do Alan games. Why was I thinking that he could? Hm."
Jacqueline hollers, "It is ClubFloyd time even though I am a bad organizer and posted no plan! If you want to play something come to the Toyshop." 		Jacqueline says, "Although, if CF is not a thing that is happening, that is okay too, I guess."
		Jacqueline says, "But there are a few SpringThing things, as well as other stuff."
Roger arrives, full of neither funk nor fun. 		Jacqueline exclaims, "Roger!"
		Jacqueline exclaims, "Roger! Roger!"
		Jacqueline says, "I'm like that pairie chipmunk or whatever it was in that BBC video."
		Jacqueline asks, "Anyway, so far this is a very small party. What are you in the mood for?"
		Roger says, "Oh I dunno"
		Roger says, "Nothing too strenuous"
		Jacqueline says, "Also, I'm totally wrong. It's a marmot, and it wants Allan, not Roger."
		[LINK]
		Jacqueline says, "maga claims Bear Creek pt 1 from Spring Thing is not strenuous, though it is 'moderately-sized'"
		Jacqueline says, "There are also some other SpringThing things that will run on Floyd."
		Jacqueline says, "And then there is the bit where we could just resurrect some old Speed IFs or something."
pollux arrives, full of fun and funk. 		Jacqueline says, "'ullo, pollux"
		pollux says, "Hi."
		Jacqueline says, "Here's an old Gunther speed IF"
		Jacqueline says, "Huh. Since DW isn't here, here's one of his."
		Jacqueline says, "I have never heard of it. And it doesn't get awesome reviews because of the second half, yet is recommended just to experience the first half."
		Jacqueline says, "The Angel Curse. Shall I load that up>"
		Jacqueline asks, "?"
		Claw says, "Hi, ClubFloyd."
		Jacqueline says, "Hi, Claw."
Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "load sleepmask angelcurse"

Floyd | There's several women here, including Amy, out practicing for a
Floyd | professional gymnastic competition in Hamburg next Spring. Looking at
Floyd | them fills your mind with envy and self-pity. You cannot join them,
Floyd | and you never will. Such emotions, you upbraid yourself, only

		Jacqueline says (to inky), "It's in the new Alan beta."

Floyd |
Floyd | Look at her. She's so graceful on the parallel bars. You could never
Floyd | do that. You can't see why she insisted you accompany her here.
Floyd |
Floyd | Well, okay. It was the decent thing to do. But she's obviously over
Floyd | her performance anxiety, and she's not paying any attention to you.
Floyd | She's too busy working with the rest of the girls.

		djfletch says, "hurrah, I didn't miss too much wandering in late"
		DavidW says, "If I remember correctly, I used up most of my coding time for The Angel Curse just getting the wheelchair to behave properly. It was the only time I'd ever coded a vehicle."

NightFloyd Transcript:
The Story of Mr. P. by Hannes
As played on ifMUD on April 24, 2014

Like ClubFloyd, the idea behind NightFloyd is that a group of people meet online to cooperatively play a game of interactive fiction.

Unlike ClubFloyd, NightFloyd often takes on significantly larger works of interactive fiction, knowing going in that each one will take multiple sessions (but not always, as you'll see in this transcript). NightFloyd is also a bit more informal than ClubFloyd in that it's only announced on the ifMUD #clubfloyd bulletin board, and the time shifts around to meet player's schedules far more than ClubFloyd does. NightFloyd is organized by genericgeekgirl, aka Adri.

Below is a transcript of The Story of Mr. P. written by Hannes. The Story of Mr. P was released as part of the 2014 Spring Thing. You can learn more about the game, including how to download it, by visiting IFDB.

WARNING! Below you will find a transcript of people playing this game, and it goes without saying that the transcript is full of spoilers. So, if you've never played this game, and think you might like to at some point, I do not recommend reading any further. Instead, you might want to return to the interactive fiction page.

#ClubFloyd Discussion
		

		genericgeekgirl says, "NightFloyd tonight at 22:00 ET. Come prepared with game suggestions."
		Zach exclaims, "Hooray!"
		Zach asks, "Do you have any ideas for a game tonight?"
		DavidW says, "No, I didn't even remember it was NightFloydNight"
		Zach asks, "Have you played all the Springcomp games?"
		DavidW says, "no, just some"
		DavidW says, "I played the one about hexagons, the one called Bibliophile, the one called Surface, and I started the ones about Mr P and the one at a house party, but haven't finished either."
		Zach says, "I haven't played any yet"
		genericgeekgirl says, "There are four that would be playable here. DW's already played Bibliophile, but there's Story of Mr P, if he's willing to restart it with us, and also Bear Creek and Wyldkynd Project (we can play Alan, yeah?)."
		genericgeekgirl says, "Oh. Maybe not. "requires the latest Alan 3.0 Beta4.""
		DavidW says, "We probably can't play the Alan one on Floyd. It will need the newest Alan terp."
		genericgeekgirl asks, "Yeah. Well, one of the other two then?"
		DavidW says, "oh, I started Bear Creek but never finished it."
		DavidW says, "I'm not sure how well I can Floyd tonight with my ISP lagging so badly."
		DavidW says, "I didn't finish Bear Creek because it was obviously leading up to something unpleasant that I didn't really want to see. But I'd willing to try that one again."
		DavidW says, "My problem with Mr P is similar, but the danger is much less defined and surreal."
		DavidW says, "If I had to choose which to play, I'd opt for Mr P because it confuses me more and I could use some extra perspectives."

Floyd | Living Room
Floyd | This is the house's central hub. All other rooms, i.e. the bedroom,
Floyd | the kitchen, the bathroom and the currently unused room, can be
Floyd | reached from here. Aside from that, the front door, located next to a
Floyd | large panorama window, leads right into this room. Because of the
Floyd | number of exits, there isn't actually all this much usable space
Floyd | available, but Margaret has come up with a clever arrangement of the
Floyd | sofa and the matching table as well as the slender floor lamp which
Floyd | really gets the maximum out of it!

Floyd | The bathroom's walls are brightly tiled. Even though you can't tell
Floyd | for sure, you would bet that Margaret cleans it daily. Appropriate to
Floyd | your house's year of construction, the facilities are modern. For
Floyd | example, you had a shower built in instead of a tub. Next to that,
Floyd | there is a sink with a mirror hung to the wall above, and on the
Floyd | opposite side of the room, there is a toilet. A small cabinet stands

Floyd | is to be done. While you are talking, you see your boss's brow
Floyd | furrowing, but he lets you continue. After you're done talking, there
Floyd | is an awkward moment of silence. "You seem to be overworked. Actually,
Floyd | your face looks quite pale. It's almost half past four, why don't you
Floyd | take the rest of the day off? It's OK to do that once in a while on a

Floyd | let your wife really pamper you this weekend. Relax - and I want you
Floyd | back at full strength on Monday!"
Floyd |
Floyd | Relieved about not having received a major scolding, you leave the

Floyd | as a housewife is injured; you can't dissuade her from this theory. In

Floyd | Here you spend your sleeping hours. Margaret was, just like for the

Floyd | The Story of Mr. P. was written by Hannes Schüller in 2013.
Floyd | Originally published in German language under the title Die
Floyd | Geschichte des Herrn P., it was adapted into English in early
Floyd | 2014. This English release 1 is technically equivalent with the German
Floyd | release 4. The author loves receiving all kinds of feedback and game
Floyd | transcripts at hannes (at) yllr.net.
Floyd |
Floyd | Particular thanks go out to Martin Barth and Martin Oehm who were
Floyd | there for advice and tests all through the development phases. In
Floyd | addition, Michael Baltes, Colin Djukic, Marius Müller and Mischa
Floyd | Magyar tested the beta versions - thank you as well! This English
Floyd | version comes to you thanks to Brian Cowell, Andrew Schultz and Jerry
Floyd | Ford, all of whom tirelessly waded through my attempts at finding
Floyd | adequate translations of the original texts and offered many helpful
Floyd | corrections and suggestions.

Floyd | Margaret looks at you with rising anxiety. Too much time has passed
Floyd | and you don't have the slightest clue what everybody was on about, so
Floyd | you just blurt out something incoherent. The neighbors exchange a
Floyd | telling, hardly disguised look. You fall silent again - this time, for
Floyd | the rest of the evening.
Floyd |
Floyd | A little later, Dorothy and Robert take their leave. You get up only
Floyd | mechanically to shake their hands, while Margaret fusses about and

Floyd | Here you spend your sleeping hours. Margaret was, just like for the

Floyd | when you moved in. Without a doubt, she did this with her very own eye

Floyd |
Floyd | Next to the bed, there is a nightstand. You can enter the living room

Floyd | Dorothy, your neighbor! You realize that this must be

Floyd | as you also only just notice, you are naked! How on earth did you get

Floyd | and you don't have the slightest clue what everybody was on about, so
Floyd | you just blurt out something incoherent. The neighbors exchange a
Floyd | telling, hardly disguised look. You fall silent again - this time, for
Floyd | the rest of the evening.
Floyd |
Floyd | A little later, Dorothy and Robert take their leave. You get up only
Floyd | mechanically to shake their hands, while Margaret fusses about and
Floyd | follows them to the door. You think you hear her whispering something

Floyd | the bedroom without saying another word.

Floyd |
Floyd | Bedroom (on the bed)
Floyd | The more you focus, even if you can't believe it, it becomes clearer
Floyd | to you that this isn't your bedroom. Margaret lies on the double bed,
Floyd | sleeping. Next to the bed, on the other side from her, there is the
Floyd | lamp you switched on. On the opposite wall, there's a wardrobe and a
Floyd | trouser press. Two doors, one to the south and one to the east, lead

Floyd | Dorothy, your neighbor! You realize that this must be
Floyd | her bedroom. Whatever did you two do in her bed, naked to
Floyd | make things worse? How on earth did you get yourself into this

ClubFloyd Transcript:
Mhairie Sioux Escrivain and the Dracula of Hogwarts by Roger Carbol (as M Grablowsky)
Candle flames in windless air by Teaspoon
Her Majesty's Trolley Problem by Buster Hudson
EGYPTIAN WALKING SIMULATOR by Jason Dyer
Staying Put by verityvirtue
As played on ifMUD on January 3 & 10, 2016

The idea behind ClubFloyd is that each week at a pre-arranged time, a group of people meet online to cooperatively play a game of interactive fiction.

Below is a transcript of Mhairie Sioux Escrivain and the Dracula of Hogwarts written by Roger Carbol (as M Grablowsky), Candle flames in windless air written by Teaspoon, Her Majesty's Trolley Problem written by Buster Hudson, EGYPTIAN WALKING SIMULATOR written by Jason Dyer, and Staying Put written by verityvirtue. These games were all part of the The Neinth annual New Year's Minicomp. You can learn more about the games, including how to download them, by visiting the IFDB pages: Staying Put, Candle flames in windless air, Her Majesty's Trolley Problem, EGYPTIAN WALKING SIMULATOR, and Mhairie Sioux Escrivain and the Dracula of Hogwarts.

WARNING! Below you will find a transcript of people playing these games, and it goes without saying that the transcript is full of spoilers. So, if you've never played these games, and think you might like to at some point, I do not recommend reading any further. Instead, you might want to return to the interactive fiction page.

ANOTHER WARNING! A lot (most!) of the transcripts contained on this site are, shall we say, family-friendly. This is not one of those family-friendly transcripts. Just so we're clear.

Floyd |
Floyd | Then the moment ends.  The unicorn somehow senses this and gallops

Floyd | As fans of "Doctor Who" will quickly discover, (and to be honest,
Floyd | anyone else will probably find this incomprehensible) this game is
Floyd | shaped around the 2015 series finale, and more particularly the first
Floyd | half, "Heaven Sent". This particular episode's puzzle-box nature
Floyd | prompted immediate comparisons to video games; yours truly had been
Floyd | doodling around with an Inform version for some time before finally
Floyd | registering on Intfiction, finding out about the New Year's Minicomp,
Floyd | and hammering out a functional version in a bit of a rush. Apologies
Floyd | if the story's still dodgy here and there.
Floyd |
Floyd | Still, the code complies (finally!), and I've added a few spins on
Floyd | what was broadcast to keep it all fresh...

Floyd |
Floyd | You've creased the pages with the most helpful passages:
Floyd |
Floyd | ITEM 23. Vigilance is of the utmost importance for an officer on
Floyd | duty. When riding the rails, you should LOOK around to become aware of
Floyd | your immediate surroundings and ensure there are no obstacles on the
Floyd | track ahead of you. You may also find it useful to EXAMINE specific
Floyd | things for a better understanding of their natures.
Floyd |
Floyd | ITEM 141. The harpoon cannon is an effective weapon that requires
Floyd | skill, precision, and a strict adherence to routine. To use, you must
Floyd | first LOAD HARPOON into the cannon and then SHOOT TARGET (where TARGET
Floyd | is whatever thing you are trying to shoot). In a pinch, another object
Floyd | may be used in lieu of a harpoon.
Floyd |
Floyd | ITEM 335. In the event the mechanical brakes become damaged or
Floyd | otherwise inoperable, trolleys in Her Majesty's service are required
Floyd | to carry an anchor in reserve. You should DROP ANCHOR outside the
Floyd | rails to slow the trolley down, or once off the hotline, to force a
Floyd | complete stop.
Floyd |
Floyd | ITEM 612. The moorsea is full of dangers, but none moreso than
Floyd | idleness. There will be times you have little to do other than WAIT,
Floyd | especially when awaiting an order from a senior officer. It remains
Floyd | paramount that you always carry yourself with the poise and demeaner
Floyd | expected of an officer of the Empire.
Floyd |
Floyd | ITEM 998. While serving aboard a trolley, you are likely to
Floyd | encounter many words and phrases unfamiliar to you. You may read the
Floyd | GLOSSARY at any time for pithy definitions of these linguistic
Floyd | deviations.

Floyd | > GLOSSARY
Floyd |
Floyd | CROSS: The places where two tracks meet, or cross.
Floyd |
Floyd | DEADLYNDS: An area of the moorsea devoid of life. Not even the
Floyd | heath grows there. It's rumoured the rebellion against the Empire is
Floyd | hiding their base of operations in the deadlynds.
Floyd |
Floyd | HOTLINE: Any track containing a HOTWIRE, or the wire that provides
Floyd | the energy for locomotion (it's not yet understood how this works).
Floyd | The hotwire is named for how it burns hot to the touch. The other type
Floyd | of track is a DOCKING TRACK, in which the hotwire has been snipped to
Floyd | allow the trolley to come to a stop.
Floyd |
Floyd | IRONS: Another name for the rails. The phrase PRESSING HER HARD
Floyd | AGAINST THE IRONS is an expression meaning to ride the trolley at a
Floyd | maximum speed. Those who maintain the tracks are called
Floyd | IRONSWORKERS.
Floyd |
Floyd | JOLLY ROGER: A symbol used by pirates for mysterious ends. It's
Floyd | usually depicted as a skull over a pair of crossed bones.
Floyd |
Floyd | MOORSEA: A great expanse of moors. It's thought to stretch
Floyd | thousands upon thousands of miles, though none have explored beyond
Floyd | the deadlynds. Only a complicated network of tracks left by an unknown
Floyd | civilization enables travel, as the moors are covered by a toxic plant
Floyd | called the HEATH.
Floyd |
Floyd | RAILOR: A member of a trolley's crew.
Floyd |
Floyd | SPLIT: A type of cross where it's possible to change tracks. To
Floyd | JUMP THE SPLIT means to change tracks, while to RUN THE SPLIT means to
Floyd | continue without changing.
Floyd |
Floyd | SWITCH: A device that allows the trolley to change tracks at a
Floyd | split. The expression FLY THE SWITCH means to push the switch while
Floyd | the trolley is still in motion, typically with the aid of a long pole.
Floyd | This technique will not work if the trolley is travelling at too fast
Floyd | a speed.
Floyd |
Floyd | TAFF: The railing along the front of the trolley, over the bow.
Floyd | Many trolleys carry a harpoon cannon, which is usually secured to the
Floyd | taff.
Floyd |
Floyd | TIES: Planks of wood that lie perpendicular to the rails and
Floyd | secure them in place. Because of their uniform spacing, the term has
Floyd | become a standard unit of distance. The term can also be used to
Floyd | measure speed when counting the number of ties the trolley passes per
Floyd | second. The phrase COUNTING TIES refers to the fact that when
Floyd | travelling slow enough, one can easily count the ties appearing behind
Floyd | the trolley.
Floyd |
Floyd | TRACKWARD: The direction the trolley is moving. Its opposite is
Floyd | BACKWARD.
Floyd |
Floyd | TROLLEY: A single mechanical carriage used to travel the rails.
Floyd | Long ago, people rode multiple carriages joined together called
Floyd | trains, but they proved unwieldy in battle, difficult to defend
Floyd | against pirates, and subject to frequent wrecks due to the large
Floyd | number of crosses. Trolleys are easily repaired or replaced, and only
Floyd | require crews of two to ten railors.

Floyd | It isn't long before the Captain calls down to you again. "First Mate
Floyd | Gertie! The track is incomplete, and the line is bearing us into a
Floyd | ditch! What's our speed?"
Floyd |
Floyd | You race to the rear of the deck and lean over the stern. The ties are
Floyd | coming too quickly to count, so you estimate as best you can. "Ten,
Floyd | maybe fifteen, sir."
Floyd |
Floyd | "Bloody hell," the Captain swears, and you tense. You can count on a
Floyd | butcher's hand the number of times you've heard her resort to such
Floyd | language. Death looms ahead.
Floyd |
Floyd | "We can't fly the switch at this speed," she continues. "To arms,
Floyd | Gertie, and wait for my signal! You'll have to harpoon the switch when
Floyd | it's in range, but before we run the split." You take up your post by
Floyd | the cannon.

Floyd | settling into her new course.
Floyd |
Floyd | "Great shot!" the Captain cheers, dropping to the deck. You beam with
Floyd | pride, but it's to be short-lived. She goes on to explain that without

Floyd |
Floyd | "Don't fret, my dears," the Admiral interrupts. "I happen to have some

Floyd ]  The Fool On the Approach
Floyd | Her threat silences him for at least a full minute, maybe two.## The
Floyd | Fool On the Approach
Floyd | By mid-afternoon, you reach the outskirts of Innocence Lost. Here the
Floyd | buildings are little more than ragged tarps stretched over the husks
Floyd | of trolleys and other scavenged materials. The roof of one dwelling,
Floyd | an ancient caboose, makes use of an old flag to patch a hole, its bold
Floyd | red hue long since faded to a dirty shade of terra cotta. You're
Floyd | reminded of a blanket your mother had made to keep you warm at night.
Floyd | Back then, the Empire's flags were always in abundance, and few seemed
Floyd | to mind the ones that went missing. Now, no one dares remove a single
Floyd | flag, not since the guard began removing hands.
Floyd |
Floyd | The Captain's voice distracts you from your thoughts. "First Mate
Floyd | Gertie, there's a fool on the approach!" Sure enough, you see a man
Floyd | dancing on the track, cradling his bottle of spirits like it's his
Floyd | partner in a very sloppy waltz. Ordinarily you'd ring a standard
Floyd | warning, but the trolley's bell went the way of her roof.
Floyd |
Floyd | Something near him catches the sunlight—a switch! "Look Captain!" you
Floyd | shout excitedly. Then you remember the harpoon. "We could at least try
Floyd | to fly the switch."
Floyd |
Floyd | The Captain shakes her head. "I have a better idea. Load the Admiral's
Floyd | bones into the cannon. We'll save this fool's life if we can."
Floyd |
Floyd | "You must be joking," the skeleton says, his tone no longer so
Floyd | abrasive. "The drunkard earned his fate the moment he drank himself
Floyd | dim."
Floyd |
Floyd | "As did you earn your fate," the Captain replies, "when you raised a
Floyd | banner against the Empire." She turns back to you. "We're three
Floyd | hundred ties away and closing fast. There's no time to argue. Load a
Floyd | bone, and prepare to fire."
Floyd |
Floyd | The skeleton's grin gives way to genuine worry. Your instructions are
Floyd | clear, yet you find yourself hesitating.

Floyd | "I'm sorry," you mouth to the Admiral, even as you hold him still. It
Floyd | takes a fair amount of pulling and twisting to snap the left arm out
Floyd | of its socket. You work equally hard just to keep your eyes open and
Floyd | the bile out of your throat. All the while, the Admiral howls in rage
Floyd | or pain, or both.

Floyd | The Admiral's left arm isn't quite a harpoon, but it does the job. The

Floyd | Ironsworkers, Trackward
Floyd | Within the dense heart of Innocence Lost, the buildings climb atop
Floyd | each other like too many rats in too small a box. Numerous lines
Floyd | converge, cross, split, or run concurrently in a tangled mess of rails
Floyd | and switches. Fortunately, most of the tracks appear to run straight
Floyd | through town.
Floyd |
Floyd | The townspeople go about their business along the rails, slipping in
Floyd | and out of the tight spaces between buildings and stepping aside with
Floyd | disinterested expressions to let the Problem clatter by. Some
Floyd | shout insults against the Empire, and one particularly unruly skeleton
Floyd | throws a brick that grazes the Captain's hat. It's odd to see such a
Floyd | blatant display of treason, but you suppose that's what happens when
Floyd | the guard isn't around to keep the peace.
Floyd |

		Jacqueline says (to Roger), "Belated (sorry, got messaged by someone), space/wildwest/pirate mashup things. It's hard to explain. (Also, hahahaha Tale)"

Floyd | You continue past the docking tracks. "Captain, might we dock and find
Floyd | a new anchor?" you ask, but the Captain shakes her head.
Floyd |
Floyd | "Without an anchor, there won't be enough track off the hotline to
Floyd | come to a stop. Safely, that is. Besides, the scum of this town have
Floyd | no love for the Empire. It would be dangerous for the two of us to
Floyd | remain here with the prisoner." She spits off the side of the deck,
Floyd | then bolts upright when something trackward catches her attention—a
Floyd | group of workers repairing the line, seemingly unaware of your
Floyd | approach.
Floyd |
Floyd | "Quickly Gertie, load another bone in the cannon. We can save the
Floyd | lives of these men and women." She climbs to her perch and pulls open
Floyd | her spyglass. "Only three hundred ties until the split, starboard."
Floyd |
Floyd | The Admiral struggles against his bindings. "Leave my bones out of
Floyd | this! Ironsworkers know the dangers of maintaining the rails. If they
Floyd | die, it's their own damn fault for not appointing a lookout."
Floyd |
Floyd | You can't help but feel there's a logic in what he's saying. Or maybe
Floyd | you're looking for a reason to disobey orders.

Floyd |
Floyd | The arm finds the switch, and the rails change. You can see the
Floyd | workers' fear turn to relief as the trolley jumps the split to the
Floyd | switch track beside them.
Floyd |
Floyd | The Admiral is less than amused. "Oh, good shot and all that! For the
Floyd | good of the Empire, eternal servitude to the crown, blah, blah, blah,"
Floyd | he says, his words drenched with venom. "You're all the same, breaking
Floyd | the world apart in the name of duty. You and that rotten, swine-faced
Floyd | witch for a queen."
Floyd |
Floyd | The Captain leaps down and backhands the skeleton so hard his head
Floyd | near spins round. "If you say one word more word against Her Majesty,
Floyd | I'll grind your skull against the irons myself."
Floyd |
Floyd | Under normal circumstances, you'd be appropriately horrified by his
Floyd | invective, but you're distracted by the sickly-white mould you

Floyd | occupied by travelling fences, their railcarts full of ration tins and
Floyd | fire-starters and brass buttons plucked from the uniforms of the dead.

Floyd | and while the stuff of real value goes to the cities, a farthing or

Floyd | Rules, rules, and more rules:
Floyd |
Floyd | ITEM 23. Vigilance is of the utmost importance for an officer on
Floyd | duty. When riding the rails, you should LOOK around to become aware of
Floyd | your immediate surroundings and ensure there are no obstacles on the
Floyd | track ahead of you. You may also find it useful to EXAMINE specific
Floyd | things for a better understanding of their natures.
Floyd |
Floyd | ITEM 141. The harpoon cannon is an effective weapon that requires
Floyd | skill, precision, and a strict adherence to routine. To use, you must
Floyd | first LOAD HARPOON into the cannon and then SHOOT TARGET (where TARGET
Floyd | is whatever thing you are trying to shoot). In a pinch, another object
Floyd | may be used in lieu of a harpoon.
Floyd |
Floyd | ITEM 335. In the event the mechanical brakes become damaged or
Floyd | otherwise inoperable, trolleys in Her Majesty's service are required
Floyd | to carry an anchor in reserve. You should DROP ANCHOR outside the
Floyd | rails to slow the trolley down, or once off the hotline, to force a
Floyd | complete stop.
Floyd |
Floyd | ITEM 612. The moorsea is full of dangers, but none moreso than
Floyd | idleness. There will be times you have little to do other than WAIT,
Floyd | especially when awaiting an order from a senior officer. It remains
Floyd | paramount that you always carry yourself with the poise and demeaner
Floyd | expected of an officer of the Empire.
Floyd |
Floyd | ITEM 998. While serving aboard a trolley, you are likely to
Floyd | encounter many words and phrases unfamiliar to you. You may read the
Floyd | GLOSSARY at any time for pithy definitions of these linguistic
Floyd | deviations.

Floyd | Choosing to live in narrow spaces leads to form of mental agoraphobia
Floyd | and that brings its own terrors. I think the willfully unimaginative
Floyd | see more monsters, they are often more afraid. What is more, those who
Floyd | choose not to empathize enable real monsters. For without ever
Floyd | committing an act of outright evil ourselves, we collude through our
Floyd | own apathy. (J. K. Rowling)

Floyd | Attic Room
Floyd | This is a room in an attic, one of hundreds of other rooftops and
Floyd | balconies. There's a skylight, nominally to let in natural light, but
Floyd | seeing as it's so caked up with pigeon doings and dirt, it's not much
Floyd | use. There's a bed, a desk and a chair.
Floyd |
Floyd | You might leave the room to the south, when it's quieter. You can get
Floyd | to the washroom from the hallway.

Teaspoon says (to Floyd), "x self" 		

Floyd | >You're Cassiopeia Marsh, erstwhile house doctor of the fabulously
Floyd | wealthy Grémillet household, now jobless. Your licence hangs in the

Floyd |     a jacket
Floyd |     a book
Floyd |

		DavidW asks, "Did a vowel not display re: Grmillet?"
Teaspoon says (to Floyd), "x book" 		

Floyd | >A rumpled hardcover you picked up for 50 cents at a secondhand
Floyd | bookstore. The dust cover has the unlikely title of "A NEW KIND OF
Floyd | LOVE", but the book inside is actually a thoughtful account of an
Floyd | unnamed civil war from a doctor's point of view. Never have you had
Floyd | such a turnaround in your opinion of a book.
Floyd |

		Taleslinger says (to dw), "It did for me"
		hzomb says (to DavidW), "It displays an accented e for me."
		verityvirtue says, "unfortunately, yeah"
		DavidW says, "oh."

Floyd | days for the supplies to get through, they told us, but when after a
Floyd | week we still had no news, the office called and told us he was dead."

Floyd | >You remember Subra as a trim, athletic man, with dark curly hair. He
Floyd | contacted you after you'd called the medical council about the threats
Floyd | you were receiving from the Grémillets.
Floyd |

		DavidW says (to Taleslinger), "You're so wise."
		Taleslinger says, "I wonder if this is any historical period, or a fantasy setup."
		Ellison says, "there are some things you can do to get certain characters to work correctly with your client. we'll let you all know for the sequel, Staying Put 2: Still Here."
		verityvirtue says, "er, there's supposed to be formatting in the memories, which I realise won't be visible her"
		verityvirtue says, "*here"
chaudmin says (to Floyd), "x phone" 		

Floyd | >You were using the Grémillet-provided phone before this. After you
Floyd | were sacked, of course you couldn't keep that, so you acquired this
Floyd | hardy phone. It is, indeed, a Nokia derivative.
Floyd |

		
chaudmin says (to Floyd), "drop phone" 		

Floyd | >You haven't got that.
Floyd |

		DavidW asks, "oh. If we played under sleepmask, would we see the formatting?"
chaudmin says (to Floyd), "take phone" 		

Floyd | >Taken.
Floyd |

		
chaudmin says (to Floyd), "drop it" 		

Floyd | >Dropped.
Floyd |

		
Taleslinger says (to Floyd), "x carryall" 		

Floyd | >A brown leather bag that you were given when you first qualified. It
Floyd | has a number of small possessions you managed to grab while you were
Floyd | leaving. Unfortunately, your usual phone wasn't in those possessions.
Floyd | "For safety," Subra had said.
Floyd |
Floyd | In the carryall is a book.
Floyd |

		chaudmin says, "clearly a nokia"
		Ellison says, "no, there's an ifMUD command to set your account with various Unicode types or whatever, and you have to set it to one your client supports"
		hzomb says, ">call Subra"
		verityvirtue says, "nokias are great"
hzomb says (to Floyd), "call Subra" 		

Floyd | >Subra said to only contact him in an emergency (presumably he's busy
Floyd | dealing with loads of other people in hiding or something). This isn't
Floyd | one.

Floyd | >Subra said to only contact him in an emergency (presumably he's busy
Floyd | dealing with loads of other people in hiding or something). This isn't

Floyd |

		Taleslinger asks, "Try going south, then?"
Teaspoon says (to Floyd), "x bed" 		

Floyd | >A marginally comfortable thing, with a cast-iron frame. It holds your
Floyd | weight, but creaks alarmingly when you turn in your sleep.
Floyd |
Floyd | On the bed is a blanket.

Floyd |

		
Ellison says (to Floyd), "drop memory" 		

Floyd | >You can't see any such thing.

Floyd | but the room gets quite draughty at night.
Floyd |

Floyd | >Taken.
Floyd |

		Ellison says, "cool (just curious)"
		hzomb asks, "Perigosan is a fantasy world?"
Ellison says (to Floyd), "i" 		

Floyd | >You are carrying:
Floyd |   a phone
Floyd |   a memory of the threats you were receiving
Floyd |   a memory of Lady Grémillet
Floyd |   a jacket (being worn)
Floyd |   a carryall
Floyd |     a book
Floyd |

		Ellison says, "neat. I like the memories."
		verityvirtue says, "(you can examine the subject of the memory too)"
Ellison says (to Floyd), "x threats" 		

Floyd | >You recall the journey you took to get here... You'd run away from the
Floyd | Grémillets the first chance you got, of course.
Floyd |
Floyd | But after that, you kept seeing her green-skinned security officers
Floyd | lingering at all your usual places - the cafés you used to go, even
Floyd | your favourite libraries. They would dress up, wear hipster clothes,
Floyd | speak in incomprehensible slang, but you knew they were aggressive and
Floyd | tethered only by the command of their master. Mistress, rather.
Floyd |
Floyd | The noise from the dining area downstairs slowly starts to intensify:
Floyd | it must be lunchtime.
Floyd |

		hzomb exclaims, "green-skinned!"
		hzomb says, "I knew hipsters weren't human."
		Taleslinger says, "Those green bastards!"
Ellison says (to Floyd), "..Tale looks like it's a real setting and it involves your family" 		

Floyd | >That's not a verb I recognise.
Floyd |

		verityvirtue says, "whoops imagine a status line showing time of day"
chaudmin says (to Floyd), "x lady" 		

Floyd | >Lady Grémillet was the inheritor to one of the biggest pharmaceutical
Floyd | parent companies in Perigosan. In person, she was an imposing woman:
Floyd | tall and statuesque.
Floyd |
Floyd | But apart from her stature, it was her impossibly proud air that
Floyd | distinguished her from most "tai-tais". This most likely stemmed from
Floyd | the confidence that her husband and her had built up their business
Floyd | empire from scratch. You'd attended a few of their family dinners, and
Floyd | she did like to make a point to mention that she was a taxi driver's
Floyd | daughter. Such is social mobility in Perigosan.
Floyd |
Floyd | You hear a sudden gurgle from the plumbing.
Floyd |

		hzomb asks (of verityvirtue), "is there a clock?"
		Ellison says, "oh, should we start again with sleepmask on? that'll show the status line, at least"
		Taleslinger asks, "Maybe we should restart in sleepmask (sorry I forgot that)?"
		DavidW asks, "Perhaps we should be playing via sleepmask?"
		verityvirtue exclaims, "it's alright!"

Floyd | The Grémillet mansion was famous for having a facade made largely out

Floyd | entirely made of glass - that would have been impractical - but almost
Floyd | every structure had veins of glass running through it, most often
Floyd | bottle-green glass, but also clear glass and frosted.
Floyd |
Floyd | This extended to the basements, too, which held such essentials as the
Floyd | laundry room, the greenhouse and... and the illegal labs where GD
Floyd | Pharmaceuticals did more unorthodox research. It was almost out of a
Floyd | movie.
Floyd |
Floyd | Now that you think about the glass, though: when you took the job, you
Floyd | were given lodgings in the house, with veins of yellow glass in

Floyd |
Floyd | Finally!
Floyd | Perfectly masked as one of them, with the green leaves as object of
Floyd | some weird escape plan, you apporach the Town Square. The pyre is
Floyd | already piled up high, and Paul and Elbe are tied to each end of a
Floyd | stake.
Floyd | Right as you approach, one of the cavemen touches the torch to the
Floyd | pyre and the whole thing lights up! (Which is unrealistic, but the
Floyd | scene needs some dramatic tension).
Floyd |
Floyd | Town Square
Floyd | You are surrounded by a crowd of angry cavemen.
Floyd |

Floyd |
Floyd | You heap the green leaves onto the pyre by the handful. Soon, all the
Floyd | cavemen around get the munchies and run off. Guess that clears up the
Floyd | cannibalism debate, too. You clamber up the pyre, wood shifting
Floyd | underneath you, and cut the rope with the knife you had all the time
Floyd | but luckily didn't really need.
Floyd | "Alex!" says Paul. "I knew you'd save me!"
Floyd | "Just be glad I found the good ending this time!"
Floyd | "Uh", Dr. Elbe chimes in, "this dialogue indicates we are still on the
Floyd | pyre. We might want to get down?"
Floyd | "Yes!" You grab Paul around the waist. "Jump!"
Floyd | You and Paul take a dramatic leap aaaaand - land safely. As does Dr.
Floyd | Elbe. Your husband stands up, helps you up and eyes you. "Something is
Floyd | different about you."
Floyd | "Yeah, Paul, I don't know how to tell you this, but, enn, I'm
Floyd | straight."
Floyd | "What? Why did you never tell?"
Floyd | "I only now found out!"
Floyd | "Well, have you tried not being straight?"
Floyd | "There was this machine and..."
Floyd | His face suddenly turns red and he pushes you away. You stumble
Floyd | backwards and fall over, "Paul, don't get..."
Floyd | The scene seems to freeze. Paul, his arms outstretched. Elbe, to the
Floyd | side, just now getting up. The caveman chief, his eyes glowing red,
Floyd | the spear, thrown by him, whose tip rests on Paul's breastpocket. Then
Floyd | you realise the scene is, in fact, frozen.

Floyd | "Yes. In your future, I rule the earth. It's my past, but that's not

Floyd | "Really? I think some players would like some exposition."
Floyd | "Yes. I think this works better if I remain mysterious. Now listen. I
Floyd | have a proposition. In the future, you and Paul will stop me.
Floyd | Obviosuly, I can't let this happen. So I propose the following: You

Floyd | psychology course all those years ago."
Floyd | "Oh yeah, I blogged about it. Oh man, good thing I  have a LJ life

Floyd | "Yes. I propose that you go back and just don't approach him, let him
Floyd | walk down the hallway. Three zzzs should be enough."
Floyd | "And if I refuse, Paul will die here, and I will be trapped in the
Floyd | stone age.So I can choose between 8 good years with him or a lifetime
Floyd | alone."
Floyd | "Correct."

Floyd | gust of wind. You scream, stumble backwards, and finally fall over.
Floyd | You lie there, under that alien sky, you don't know for how long. Ever
Floyd | so slowly you get on your knees and crouch towards a nearby pool of
Floyd | rank water.
Floyd | From the surface, red glowing eyes look back at you.

ClubFloyd Transcript:
Untold Riches by Jason Ermer
As played on ifMUD on January 17, 2016

The idea behind ClubFloyd is that each week at a pre-arranged time, a group of people meet online to cooperatively play a game of interactive fiction.

Below is a transcript of Untold Riches written by Jason Ermer. It took eighth place in the 2015 Interactive Fiction Competition. You can learn more about the game, including how to download it, by visiting IFDB.

WARNING! Below you will find a transcript of people playing this game, and it goes without saying that the transcript is full of spoilers. So, if you've never played this game, and think you might like to at some point, I do not recommend reading any further. Instead, you might want to return to the interactive fiction page.

Floyd |
Floyd |
Floyd |
Floyd | You were reluctant to undertake another adventure with Professor
Floyd | d'Squarius, especially after the last near-catastrophe. Escaping from
Floyd | the Tomb of the Screaming Mummies had been treacherous enough, but
Floyd | then to have to go back inside because the professor lost his keys in
Floyd | some snake pit? Frankly, you had begun to question whether his
Floyd | treasure hunts were worth it.
Floyd |
Floyd | But the professor spoke persuasively about this new quest -- "for
Floyd | untold riches!" he claimed -- and, in the end, you agreed to join the
Floyd | expedition. Since then, things have gone exactly the way they always
Floyd | do: horribly.
Floyd |
Floyd | You tried to tell the professor that bringing a harpoon into an
Floyd | inflatable lifeboat was a bad idea. But, like always, he dismissed
Floyd | your objections with the usual "you're just the teenage sidekick"
Floyd | line. And now YOU are the one stranded on a remote tropical island
Floyd | with no clear way of getting back to civilization.
Floyd |
Floyd | And the amazing treasure you were originally seeking? The professor
Floyd | never explained precisely what it was.

Floyd |
Floyd | Beach
Floyd | You are on a deserted beach, alone except for the salty breeze, the
Floyd | waves splashing rhythmically on the sand, and a single palm tree that
Floyd | provides very little shade from the harsh sun. The beach extends to
Floyd | the southeast, and a path to the west leads into the rainforest.
Floyd |
Floyd | The flat husk of a once-inflatable lifeboat has washed up nearby.

Floyd |
Floyd | You are the young assistant to Professor Edsger d'Squarius,
Floyd | adventurer-archaeologist.
Floyd |
Floyd | You and the professor have been through a lot together. You bravely
Floyd | charted the Grave of the Headless Vikings (at least until the swamp
Floyd | gases started to make you hallucinate). You ventured into the secret
Floyd | network of catacombs beneath Stonehenge in search of the Lost Codex of
Floyd | Zethar the Druid (it's still lost; you never found it). You have even
Floyd | seen the summit of Mount Everest (from a distance).
Floyd |
Floyd | And every time the professor has gotten into some bizarre or dangerous
Floyd | predicament (which is most of the time), you've been there to bail him
Floyd | out.

		Teaspoon says, "We must be pretty desperate for that summer extra-credit, or whatever it is that we're chasing after this pprofessor for."
Teaspoon says (to Floyd), "i"

Teaspoon says (to Floyd), "x whistle" 		

Floyd ]  Beach
Floyd | >
Floyd | > X WHISTLE
Floyd |
Floyd | The silver emergency whistle hangs from a nylon lanyard that you are
Floyd | wearing around your neck.
Floyd |
Floyd | The whistle was one piece of emergency equipment that the professor
Floyd | put you in charge of (the other was the emergency beacon, which seems
Floyd | to be missing).
Floyd |
Floyd | >

		Jacqueline says, "Since we have some new folks: unless we designate a driver, anyone can enter commands. You do that by prefacing the command with F. Like F X ME."
		hzomb says, "blow whistle"
Teaspoon says (to Floyd), "blow whistle" 		

Floyd ]  Beach

Floyd |
Floyd | The shrill sound of the emergency whistle is both loud and irritating.

Floyd | You are on a deserted beach, alone except for the salty breeze, the

Floyd |
Floyd | The flat husk of a once-inflatable lifeboat has washed up nearby.

Teaspoon says (to Floyd), "get lifeboat"

Floyd | > GET LIFEBOAT
Floyd |
Floyd | The deflated lifeboat has outlived all usefulness. There's no point in
Floyd | carrying it around.

		hzomb says, "And don't type commands too fast."

		Jacqueline says, "I guess there are a couple of rules. :)"
Teaspoon says (to Floyd), "x tree" 		

Floyd ]  Beach
Floyd | >
Floyd | > X TREE
Floyd |
Floyd | The smooth trunk of the palm tree stretches up about twenty feet and
Floyd | ends in a fan of wide, green leaves.
Floyd |
Floyd | >

		Jacqueline says, "I was hoping there'd be stuff in the lifeboat."
		Jacqueline asks, "Also, where is our prof?"
		hzomb asks, "Can we get in the lifeboat?"
Teaspoon says (to Floyd), "climb tree" 		

Floyd ]  Beach
Floyd | >
Floyd | > CLIMB TREE
Floyd |
Floyd | You're quite skilled at climbing trees -- and it's a good thing. When
Floyd | the professor was captured by the Cannibal Warriors, you scrambled up
Floyd | a tree and avoided detection. Later (but still before brunch!) you
Floyd | climbed down and helped the professor escape.
Floyd |
Floyd | Unfortunately, climbing this particular tree doesn't yield any new
Floyd | information. You climb back down.
Floyd |
Floyd | >

		Teaspoon says, "I wonder if this will be a useful skill later"
Teaspoon says (to Floyd), "swim" 		

Floyd ]  Beach
Floyd | >
Floyd | > SWIM
Floyd |
Floyd | You and the professor once traveled in search of the Ukrainian Falcon,
Floyd | a golden bird encrusted from beak to claw with the rarest jewels. The
Floyd | professor learned that it had been left behind in the exclusion zone
Floyd | around the Chernobyl nuclear reactor. You journeyed up the Pripyat
Floyd | River, but you had to turn around when your boat was attacked by a
Floyd | school of giant, phosphorescent catfish.
Floyd |
Floyd | Since then, you've avoided recreational swimming.
Floyd |
Floyd | >

		Teaspoon says, "er"
		Jacqueline says, "heh"
		Teaspoon asks, "are there catfish in Russia?"
Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "PRAY"

Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "xyzzy" 		

Floyd ]  Beach
Floyd | >
Floyd | > XYZZY
Floyd |
Floyd | You recall a different tropical archipelago, far from here, which you
Floyd | and the professor traversed in hope of finding the Chachapoyan
Floyd | Fertility Idol. After that, whenever he needed a vacation, the
Floyd | professor would sometimes go back to Zabba, Deffe, Hijji, Noppo, and
Floyd | Tuvvu (and sometimes Xyzzy).

Floyd |
Floyd |
Floyd | Tide Pool
Floyd | This part of the beach probably floods completely when the tide comes
Floyd | in: all the sand has been washed away and only large rocks remain.
Floyd | Their many pockets and indentations are filled with pools of seawater.
Floyd | The beach becomes more sandy to the northwest and to the west, a large
Floyd | crack in the rocks leads down into a dark cave.
Floyd |
Floyd | A reddish-brown crab scuttles from pool to pool, its pointy legs
Floyd | clicking faintly on the stones.
Floyd |
Floyd | There is a long plastic tube here. It must have been left behind the
Floyd | last time the tide went out.
Floyd |

		Jacqueline says, "ooh"
Teaspoon says (to Floyd), "get tube"

		Teaspoon says, "we have a POSSESSION"
Ghogg arrives, full of funk, but no fun. 		hzomb says, "ah we meet our first npc"
Teaspoon says (to Floyd), "x tube" 		

Floyd ]  Tide Pool
Floyd | >
Floyd | > X TUBE
Floyd |
Floyd | The long, waterproof tube has a tight-fitting cap. Large documents,
Floyd | like blueprints and maps, can be rolled up and slid inside for
Floyd | protection.
Floyd |

		Jacqueline says, "f open tube"
		Jacqueline says, "er"
Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "open tube" 		

Floyd ]  Tide Pool
Floyd | >
Floyd | > OPEN TUBE
Floyd |
Floyd | You open the waterproof case, revealing the professor's treasure map!
Floyd |
Floyd | When the pirates were starting to close in, you tried to convince the
Floyd | professor that you should be the one to carry both the map and the
Floyd | key. Instead, the professor took the map himself and, inexplicably,
Floyd | tied the key to Aziz's leg. He put you in charge of the emergency kit:
Floyd | the whistle (which you're wearing) and the beacon (which seems to be
Floyd | missing).
Floyd |
Floyd | The fact that the map case has washed up on the beach might indicate
Floyd | bad news for the professor, maybe even worse than that time he was
Floyd | almost devoured by man-eating spiders in the Shrine of the Cursed
Floyd | Knights.
Floyd |
Floyd | >

		Ghogg says, "this one's perfect for clubfloyding, I'd say"
		Jacqueline says, "Oh? Excellent."
		hzomb says, "Yeah it's a lot of fun."
		Teaspoon asks, "who's aziz?"
Teaspoon says (to Floyd), "read map" 		

Floyd ]  Tide Pool
Floyd | >
Floyd | > READ MAP
Floyd |
Floyd | (first removing the map from the waterproof case)
Floyd | The sheet of yellowing parchment shows the outline of an island,
Floyd | hand-drawn in black ink. Most of the terrain is just sketched in, but
Floyd | the northwest region is mapped out in great detail and shows some
Floyd | unusual red symbols.
Floyd |
Floyd | It looks a little like the map the professor had that time you drove a
Floyd | dog sled through the arctic in search of the lost city of
Floyd | Tuktuyaaqtuuq. That's probably just a coincidence, though.
Floyd |
Floyd | >

		hzomb says (to Teaspoon), "just an incidental character I think."
Teaspoon says (to Floyd), "x symbols" 		

Floyd ]  Tide Pool
Floyd | >
Floyd | > X SYMBOLS
Floyd |
Floyd | The symbols in the northwest region of the map are drawn in red ink.
Floyd | (At least, you think it's red ink?) They depict a face looking
Floyd | directly west at a seven-pointed star.
Floyd |
Floyd | >

		Jacqueline says, "Jason sure came up with a ton of adventures."
		hzomb asks, "What if it's blood?"
		Teaspoon says, "or ketchup"
		Jacqueline says, "Dried blood isn't really communicable most of the time."
		Jacqueline says, "I think we'll be okay."
		hzomb says, "So our first puzzle/clue."
		Teaspoon says, "anyway it doens't stay red very long"
		Teaspoon says, "goes sort of brownish"
		Jacqueline says, "True"
Teaspoon says (to Floyd), "x crab" 		

Floyd ]  Tide Pool
Floyd | >
Floyd | > X CRAB
Floyd |
Floyd | It's hard to read the facial expression on a crab, but it doesn't seem
Floyd | very happy to see you.

Floyd ]                       About "Untold Riches"
Floyd | Untold Riches has been developed for use during the 2015-2016 school
Floyd | year as part of an interdisciplinary curriculum for the middle grades
Floyd | on computer programming and creative writing.
Floyd |
Floyd | Gameplay design principles were derived from the rules of
Floyd | IFBeginnersComp ([LINK]), in
Floyd | particular: (1) The initial goal should be clear from early on. (2)
Floyd | The puzzles should be fair and well-clued. (3) The world should be
Floyd | thoroughly implemented (no unwinnable states, good coverage of scenery
Floyd | and synonyms).
Floyd |
Floyd | Implementation design principles were based on the idea that the
Floyd | source code will be discussed as novice programmers learn to create
Floyd | their own games. The code should therefore aim to build game elements
Floyd | using the simplest implementation and as much "entry level" Inform 7
Floyd | functionality as possible.

Floyd | This room is at the very top of the island's lighthouse. The walls of

Floyd | view. From here you can see that this island is just one of many that
Floyd | make up an archipelago. You notice a ship several miles away sailing
Floyd | in and out of sight among the many islands.
Floyd |
Floyd | In the center of the room is the lantern: a high-powered electric lamp

Floyd |
Floyd | Fortunately, it is Captain Atlee's ship and within an hour or two, you
Floyd | find yourself safely back among her crew. You also find yourself
Floyd | reunited with Professor d'Squarius!
Floyd |
Floyd | "You found it!" he cries when he sees you holding the amazing
Floyd | treasure. "Fascinating," he says as he studies the piece. "I had read
Floyd | about it having handles. But why would it need so many?"
Floyd |
Floyd | Back in his cabin, the professor tucks the amazing treasure into a
Floyd | padded crate and tells the story of how, after the lifeboat deflated,
Floyd | he got caught in a current that carried him away from the island. At
Floyd | some point he was spotted and scooped from the sea by Atlee, who had
Floyd | managed to escape the pirates with her skillful maneuvering.
Floyd |
Floyd | "While you were away, I had a look at that." He gestures to one of
Floyd | several maps piled up on the table. The parchment shows a maze of
Floyd | twisty little passages, all alike. "Seems like there's loads of good
Floyd | stuff squirreled away in there."
Floyd |
Floyd | The story of what happens next -- your confusing trek through that

ClubFloyd Transcript:
Final Exam by Jack Whitham
As played on ifMUD on January 24, 2016

The idea behind ClubFloyd is that each week at a pre-arranged time, a group of people meet online to cooperatively play a game of interactive fiction.

Below is a transcript of Final Exam written by Jack Whitham. It took ninth place in the 2015 Interactive Fiction Competition. You can learn more about the game, including how to download it, by visiting IFDB.

WARNING! Below you will find a transcript of people playing this game, and it goes without saying that the transcript is full of spoilers. So, if you've never played this game, and think you might like to at some point, I do not recommend reading any further. Instead, you might want to return to the interactive fiction page.

Floyd | Final Exam is a parser-based game. The basic idea is to type
Floyd | what you want to do and then see what happens. However, the game only
Floyd | understands a limited set of actions. If you find that the game
Floyd | doesn't understand you, try simplifying your command to a few words.
Floyd | If you're not making any progress, you can find some more suggestions
Floyd | on the author's website at [LINK]
Floyd |
Floyd | If you've explored as much as you can, but you're not sure what to do
Floyd | next, then you might try the 'HINT' command. You can also ask for a

Because of his conviction that people desire to be ruled and controlled, the division of property formed the basis for social structure, helping develop control within a property-based hierarchy. He viewed the social changes brought on by property as the natural order of events, which should be taking place as the human race progressed. With the division of property and the class system, he also believed that it kept the monarch in check to the needs of the classes beneath the monarch.

Floyd | situation rapidly escalated into war between rebels and regime forces.
Floyd | Last week, Mugaffi launched airstrikes against rebel-held cities. Now

Floyd | Observation Gallery
Floyd | You are in a cavernous room built on the same vast scale as a concert
Floyd | hall. It cannot possibly fit within the buildings of the
Floyd | Administration Centre - the normal rules of geometry have clearly been
Floyd | bent here. You are standing in an observation gallery far above the
Floyd | floor, which is filled with concentric circles of workstation desks.
Floyd | All face the centre of the room, where another circular desk is placed
Floyd | on a raised platform. Above all of this, a huge three-dimensional
Floyd | globe hangs in empty space. The dim lighting in the room comes mainly
Floyd | from the planet, which glows with an internal light. To the north,
Floyd | stairs lead up to the landing.

		Doug says, "we also found the note '732595713 to reset.' for the screen"

Floyd | A display monitor hangs above the gallery.

Floyd | Museum of Pre-Administration Government
Floyd | This is the Administration Centre's museum. It's a vast hall,
Floyd | stretching far away to the north and east. It is currently closed and
Floyd | in darkness. A red rope blocks passage to the north and east. Light is
Floyd | coming from the corridor to the south and from a video screen just
Floyd | beyond the rope. Exhibition displays fill the room, most too far away
Floyd | into the dark to be readable.
Floyd |
Floyd | There's a plaque bearing the word 'Responsibility' on the west wall.

Floyd | '...having committed themselves to so-called science-based

Floyd | produced answers they had not expected.'

Floyd | 'I mean that the simulations favoured social policies that the

Floyd | reactionary. The data clearly pointed at stability, liberty and
Floyd | personal responsibility as the key properties of a good society. The

Floyd | 'Oh, well, some. But nothing greatly significant. The simulations
Floyd | were quite repeatable. There were a few cases where independent

Floyd | their software and traced the differences to software bugs. Coding

Floyd |
Floyd | The interviewer laughs. 'Is there any link between the two?'

Floyd | 'I think so. Humans... well, all of us... struggle to deal with

Floyd | The nearest display is the only one you can read. It forms an

Floyd | that the theme of the museum has hardly changed since you last visited
Floyd | it. The museum presents the case against the pre-Administration
Floyd | approach to government, known here as 'populism'.
Floyd |
Floyd | The display bears a quotation from a political adviser regarding his
Floyd | own government's lack of forward planning. Like all Western
Floyd | governments of its time, that government was completely dominated by
Floyd | concerns about retaining popularity and good public relations. It had
Floyd | no policies as such; rather, it simply reacted to events, attempting
Floyd | to retain the favour of the press and the public.
Floyd |
Floyd | This was not limited to one policy area, to one party, or to one
Floyd | government in one country. It was a universal failing. The voters said
Floyd | that they wanted politicians who spoke plainly and stuck to their
Floyd | principles, but if such people actually stood for election, they were
Floyd | quickly rejected, as no principle is universally popular. Consequently
Floyd | the only successful politicians had no principles and never said what

Floyd | It's one of the few newspapers that still has a printed edition,
Floyd | though for obvious reasons, this is an electronic copy. The front page
Floyd | story is all about an African dictator named Mugaffi. It is
Floyd | illustrated with pictures of children being treated for chemical burns
Floyd | outside a school. A few days ago, chemical weapons were used in the
Floyd | rebel city of Morgazi. 'Sources' blame Mugaffi's forces for the
Floyd | attack.
Floyd |
Floyd | According to the newspaper, this is the latest horrible incident of
Floyd | the full-blown civil war in Assadia. Though the protests against the
Floyd | corrupt Mugaffi regime began peacefully enough, the regime retaliated
Floyd | brutally - first with riot police, then with soldiers - and the
Floyd | situation rapidly escalated into war between rebels and regime forces.
Floyd | Last week, Mugaffi launched airstrikes against rebel-held cities. Now
Floyd | he uses chemical weapons against unarmed civilians, in contravention
Floyd | to all law, decency and sanity. But Mugaffi is afraid of the usual
Floyd | fate of deposed dictators, and he will do anything to cling to power.
Floyd |
Floyd | You recall that Assadia is an independent country outside of the
Floyd | Administration. As such, Mugaffi is free to do as he pleases, with no
Floyd | authority to restrain his gangster government. Strange, though, that
Floyd | the situation should have developed so quickly. You had thought that

ClubFloyd Transcript:
Ether by Brian Rushton
As played on ifMUD on January 31, 2016 January 31, 2016

The idea behind ClubFloyd is that each week at a pre-arranged time, a group of people meet online to cooperatively play a game of interactive fiction.

Below is a transcript of Ether written by Brian Rushton. It took tenth place in the 2015 Interactive Fiction Competition. It took tenth place in the 2015 Interactive Fiction Competition. You can learn more about the game, including how to download it, by visiting IFDB.

WARNING! Below you will find a transcript of people playing this game, and it goes without saying that the transcript is full of spoilers. So, if you've never played this game, and think you might like to at some point, I do not recommend reading any further. Instead, you might want to return to the interactive fiction page.

Floyd |
Floyd | For the first time in centuries, something is different. Your
Floyd | tentacles tingle as you float to the east past icebergs and
Floyd | whirlwinds. You skirt a pocket of hot air, bounce through a field of
Floyd | ice, and finally come upon a massive stormcloud filling the sky to the
Floyd | east.
Floyd |

Floyd | Release 1 / Serial number 151005 / Inform 7 build 6L38 (I6/v6.33 lib
Floyd | 6/12N)
Floyd |
Floyd | The wild sky stretches off forever in all directions. To the far east,
Floyd | storm clouds boil. To the far west, the sky is gentle and open. To the
Floyd | far north, icebergs float amid the clouds. To the far south, patches
Floyd | of steam whirl in vortices. Far above you, the air becomes thinner
Floyd | near the top of the world. Far below you lies a blanket of thicker
Floyd | air.
Floyd |
Floyd | The temperature is pleasant and mild. You feel a mild breeze. The air
Floyd | pressure matches your natural buoyancy.
Floyd |
Floyd | A chunk of glowing red ice shoots out of the frozen clouds to the
Floyd | north, far below you, and starts to slowly rise. The ice glows
Floyd | strangely.

Floyd | Commands: If you are new to interactive fiction, you can type
Floyd | COMMANDS to get a list of all the commands necessary to complete this
Floyd | game, and instructions on how to use them. Commands that you can type
Floyd | in are written in caps throughout this documentation.
Floyd |
Floyd | Movement: "Ether" is mostly set in one very large area (with
Floyd | many small sub-areas) where your location determines the properties of
Floyd | the environment. Going UP and DOWN increases or decreases the
Floyd | pressure, going EAST and WEST increases and decreases wind speed, and
Floyd | going NORTH and SOUTH makes you colder or hotter. Each variable has
Floyd | levels 0 to 8. Going beyond the highest and lowest levels always
Floyd | results in death.
Floyd |
Floyd | You can use alternative directions. For instance, COLDER or C will go
Floyd | north; HOTTER or H is south; FIERCER or F is east; MILDER or M is
Floyd | west; THINNER or T is up; and DENSER or D is down.
Floyd |
Floyd | You can also combine directions: NU, UN, or NORTHUP will take you
Floyd | north and up. SWD, WDS, WSD, SDW, DWS, or DSW will take you south,
Floyd | west, and down (the parser can't handle words as big as
Floyd | SOUTHWESTDOWN).
Floyd |

		
Floyd Finally, you can alway just use GO TO [something] to have your 		

Floyd | character move in the direction of the item.
Floyd |
Floyd | Precision: If you want the exact ("quantitative") number of
Floyd | moves necessary to reach an item, type "QUANT ON". To stop, type
Floyd | "QUANT OFF".
Floyd |
Floyd | Walkthrough: For a walkthrough, type "WALKTHROUGH".
Floyd |
Floyd | Credits: For credits, type "CREDITS".

Floyd |
Floyd | A small chunk of cold red ice pulsing with magical power. You
Floyd | remember...
Floyd |
Floyd | You were new to this world, and its strong winds and extreme
Floyd | environment frightened you at first. You felt out of control and lost.
Floyd | You thought of leaving, of giving up, of admitting you had made a
Floyd | mistake. You even began preparing the great door to your next home.
Floyd |
Floyd | But you changed your mind at the last minute. You would make a home
Floyd | here, and you would not leave until you mastered this realm. So you
Floyd | took the power, the world-power, the summoning-power, the mind-power,
Floyd | and bound it in this crystal until it was time.
Floyd |
Floyd | But the time is now.
Floyd |
Floyd | The chunk of red ice is partially melted.
Floyd |
Floyd | The chunk of red ice is melting rapidly.

Floyd |
Floyd | Time passes.
Floyd |
Floyd | The chunk of red ice has now melted completely.
Floyd |
Floyd | The now-free magic flows in blood-red streams into you. You feel the
Floyd | power coursing through your veins, more than you can remember feeling
Floyd | in a long, long time. Enough to summon what you need. It is time to
Floyd | move on. You exert your will, and the world answers.
Floyd |
Floyd | Nervously, you wait. You never know what the portal to the next world
Floyd | will be like. Once, it was just a door. The next time, it was a seed
Floyd | that grew into a hollow tree. Once, it was a mechanical crocodile; you
Floyd | spent weeks in its belly as it voyaged between worlds.
Floyd |
Floyd | Slowly, out of the top of the storm cloud to the east, a shape
Floyd | coalesces. The world has chosen to represent the way out as a scroll.
Floyd |
Floyd | The scroll, a small piece of paper, is thrown violently into your view
Floyd | by the storm. It lies close to the top of the storm cloud. You find it
Floyd | odd that the scroll formed so far from you.

Floyd | Commands: If you are new to interactive fiction, you can type
Floyd | COMMANDS to get a list of all the commands necessary to complete this
Floyd | game, and instructions on how to use them. Commands that you can type
Floyd | in are written in caps throughout this documentation.
Floyd |
Floyd | Movement: "Ether" is mostly set in one very large area (with
Floyd | many small sub-areas) where your location determines the properties of
Floyd | the environment. Going UP and DOWN increases or decreases the
Floyd | pressure, going EAST and WEST increases and decreases wind speed, and
Floyd | going NORTH and SOUTH makes you colder or hotter. Each variable has
Floyd | levels 0 to 8. Going beyond the highest and lowest levels always
Floyd | results in death.
Floyd |
Floyd | You can use alternative directions. For instance, COLDER or C will go
Floyd | north; HOTTER or H is south; FIERCER or F is east; MILDER or M is
Floyd | west; THINNER or T is up; and DENSER or D is down.
Floyd |
Floyd | You can also combine directions: NU, UN, or NORTHUP will take you
Floyd | north and up. SWD, WDS, WSD, SDW, DWS, or DSW will take you south,
Floyd | west, and down (the parser can't handle words as big as
Floyd | SOUTHWESTDOWN).
Floyd |

		
Floyd Finally, you can alway just use GO TO [something] to have your 		

Floyd | character move in the direction of the item.
Floyd |
Floyd | Precision: If you want the exact ("quantitative") number of
Floyd | moves necessary to reach an item, type "QUANT ON". To stop, type
Floyd | "QUANT OFF".
Floyd |
Floyd | Walkthrough: For a walkthrough, type "WALKTHROUGH".
Floyd |
Floyd | Credits: For credits, type "CREDITS".

Floyd |
Floyd | As you grab the jellyfish, it pulses a bright flash of light, and the
Floyd | coral pulses a deep black echo. When it sees the dark flash, the
Floyd | jellyfish begins to wiggle and squirm, almost escaping. You can feel
Floyd | in it an overwhelming urge to rush towards the coral, to combine
Floyd | violently with it.
Floyd |
Floyd | Unexpectedly, a tongue of black, smoky cloud from the east bursts
Floyd | towards the coral, engulfing it. When it withdraws, you see that the
Floyd | coral has become a nautilus, like you, but dark and nebulous, with
Floyd | glints of red ice for eyes.
Floyd |
Floyd | The jellyfish squirms and wiggles in your tentacles. It pulls towards
Floyd | the black nautilus so hard that you have to use all your strength to
Floyd | restrain it.

Floyd |
Floyd | The nautilus is too close to the jellyfish to escape. The jellyfish is

Floyd | The jellyfish drifts uncontrollably closer to the nautilus,

Floyd | you about as a loud *CRACK* echoes through the sky as the two
Floyd | violently combine, releasing their energy.
Floyd |
Floyd | You blink wearily and shake your tentacles. You blink again, closing
Floyd | your eyes, and they open somewhere else. At first there is nothing,
Floyd | and then you start to sense pulses and waves. Clouds of potential
Floyd | swarm around you, spiking in brilliant flashes here and there. Clouds
Floyd | rip into millions and billions and trillions of tiny pieces,
Floyd | rearrange, combine, flip in and out of reality. Your new world in its
Floyd | infant form lies before you.
Floyd |
Floyd | You open your eyes, and they slowly adjust, returning to the world
Floyd | your body resides in. Slowly, a number of objects fade into view,
Floyd | archetypes summoned by this old world as building blocks and food for
Floyd | your new world. Vacuum, liquid, solid and gas lay before you.
Floyd |
Floyd | But there is something odd; each is encased in a thick shell of a
Floyd | different kind. The vacuum is encased in a crystalline bottle; the
Floyd | solid metals are contained in a thick treasure chest, like the one you
Floyd | used on the desert world; the argon gas is contained in an organic
Floyd | flask, made from some sort of dense wood; and the liquid toluene is in
Floyd | a tea kettle, like the one you used on your birth world.
Floyd |
Floyd | Your tentacles squirm uncomfortably. It is supposed to be much easier
Floyd | than this. Something about this world seems off today. You look at the
Floyd | maelstrom to the east, to the burning heat of the south and the
Floyd | freezing cold of the north. Then you understand...
Floyd |
Floyd | This world doesn't want you to leave.

Floyd | Commands: If you are new to interactive fiction, you can type
Floyd | COMMANDS to get a list of all the commands necessary to complete this
Floyd | game, and instructions on how to use them. Commands that you can type
Floyd | in are written in caps throughout this documentation.
Floyd |
Floyd | Movement: "Ether" is mostly set in one very large area (with
Floyd | many small sub-areas) where your location determines the properties of
Floyd | the environment. Going UP and DOWN increases or decreases the
Floyd | pressure, going EAST and WEST increases and decreases wind speed, and
Floyd | going NORTH and SOUTH makes you colder or hotter. Each variable has
Floyd | levels 0 to 8. Going beyond the highest and lowest levels always
Floyd | results in death.
Floyd |
Floyd | You can use alternative directions. For instance, COLDER or C will go
Floyd | north; HOTTER or H is south; FIERCER or F is east; MILDER or M is
Floyd | west; THINNER or T is up; and DENSER or D is down.
Floyd |
Floyd | You can also combine directions: NU, UN, or NORTHUP will take you
Floyd | north and up. SWD, WDS, WSD, SDW, DWS, or DSW will take you south,
Floyd | west, and down (the parser can't handle words as big as
Floyd | SOUTHWESTDOWN).
Floyd |

		
Floyd Finally, you can alway just use GO TO [something] to have your 		

Floyd | character move in the direction of the item.
Floyd |
Floyd | Precision: If you want the exact ("quantitative") number of
Floyd | moves necessary to reach an item, type "QUANT ON". To stop, type
Floyd | "QUANT OFF".
Floyd |
Floyd | Walkthrough: For a walkthrough, type "WALKTHROUGH".
Floyd |
Floyd | Credits: For credits, type "CREDITS".

Floyd | As you reach towards the rift, the world around you bursts into
Floyd | activity. Streams of thick black clouds, tendrils of flame, and giant
Floyd | chunks of ice swirl to the west to surround the tear in space. The sky
Floyd | darkens considerably, and red glints of light flash far in the
Floyd | distance, all around you.
Floyd |
Floyd | The churning mass to the left grows and grows, forming into an
Floyd | enormous shell of clouds and fire so large that you cannot see where
Floyd | it ends in any direction. Slowly, painfully, the cloud rotates,
Floyd | lightning exploding all around it, until a single red baleful eye
Floyd | stares at you, miles long in each direction.
Floyd |
Floyd | A dark and black sky surrounds you. Unfamiliar flashes of red glint
Floyd | balefully in the distance. To the east, the maelstrom of black clouds
Floyd | spirals into a churning vortex. To the far north, icebergs clash and
Floyd | explode in violent, freezing confrontations. To the south, the sky has
Floyd | caught on fire. Far above you, the nakedness of an empty sky seeks
Floyd | your embrace. Far below you the thicker air churns and roils, sending
Floyd | out geysers unpredictably. To the far west lies the massive, gibbering
Floyd | stormbeast. Its enormous red eye glares balefully at you.
Floyd |
Floyd | Thin strands of steam are leaking from your tentacles and flames lick
Floyd | your shell. You may not be able to withstand further heat. Terrifying
Floyd | winds buffet you about. You revel in the excitement, but know that you

ClubFloyd Transcript:
Darkiss 1: The Awakening by Marco Vallarino
As played on ifMUD on February 7, 2016

The idea behind ClubFloyd is that each week at a pre-arranged time, a group of people meet online to cooperatively play a game of interactive fiction.

Below is a transcript of Darkiss 1: The Awakening written by Marco Vallarino. It took twelfth place in the 2015 Interactive Fiction Competition. You can learn more about the game, including how to download it, by visiting IFDB.

WARNING! Below you will find a transcript of people playing this game, and it goes without saying that the transcript is full of spoilers. So, if you've never played this game, and think you might like to at some point, I do not recommend reading any further. Instead, you might want to return to the interactive fiction page.

#ClubFloyd Discussion
		

		Teaspoon asks, "how many people are here right now?"
		Jacqueline says, "Three"
		Jacqueline says, "Which is technically enough to not make it feel different than playing on one's own."
		Jacqueline says, "I am fine with starting, particularly if no one has heard about his plan. He's just the one pretty regular regular."
		Teaspoon says, "I'm ready to play but will defer"
		Jacqueline asks, "Doug are you actually here?"
		Jacqueline says, "Okay, let me correct, Teaspoon, and say that two of us are here."
		Jacqueline says (to Ghogg), "Belatedly, I'd skimmed backscroll rather than looking at how long DW's been idle - 3.5 hours does not bode well."
		Jacqueline says, "So I guess it'd just be you and me, Teaspoon, though perhaps Ghogg is going to watch and Doug is planning to show up at some point."
		Ghogg says, "I've beaten this before, but I can watch. I am busy arranging imaginarygames entries"
Ghogg arrives, full of neither funk nor fun. 		Jacqueline says, "I'm actually okay with two people if you're planning to be here at least a couple of hours."
		Teaspoon says, "glad I showed up then! Because yes, I'll definitely be around that long"
		Jacqueline says, "Okay, fine. Let's do this."
Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "load sleepmask darkiss"

Floyd | My name is Marco Vallarino, I was born in 1977 in Imperia, where I
Floyd | live. I work as a journalist at the newspaper "Il Secolo XIX". I've
Floyd | written novels and short stories and I've published many books, but my
Floyd | real passion has always been interactive fiction. Since I was a kid,
Floyd | I've played tons of text adventures, in Italian and in English, and
Floyd | I've also tried writing some games, using first Qbasic and later on
Floyd | Inform 6.
Floyd |
Floyd | My personal website is at www.marcovallarino.it and I also have a page
Floyd | at IF Wiki: ifwiki.org/index.php/Marco_Vallarino.

Floyd | "Darkiss 1" is my second attempt at translating a game from Italian to
Floyd | English, with the help of the editors and playtesters Emilio
Floyd | Audissino, Jacob Gunness, Marco Innocenti (who also designed the
Floyd | cover), Paolo Lucchesi, Ottavia Pesenti, who I truly thank for their

		Jacqueline | Giordano Bruno (Italian: [dʒorˈdano ˈbruno]; Latin: Iordanus Brunus Nolanus; 1548 – 17 February 1600), born Filippo Bruno, was an Italian Dominican friar, philosopher, mathematician, poet, and astrologer.[3] He is celebrated for his cosmological theories, which went even further than the then novel Copernican model. He proposed that the stars were just distant suns surrounded by their own exoplanets and raised the possibility that these planets could even foster life of their own (a philosophical position known as cosmic pluralism). He also insisted that the universe is in fact infinite and could have no celestial body at its "center".

ClubFloyd Transcript:
The Laughing Gnome by Teaspoon
As played on ifMUD on February 14, 2016

The idea behind ClubFloyd is that each week at a pre-arranged time, a group of people meet online to cooperatively play a game of interactive fiction.

Below is a transcript of The Laughing Gnome written by Teaspoon. You can learn more about the game, including how to download it, by visiting IFDB.

WARNING! Below you will find a transcript of people playing this game, and it goes without saying that the transcript is full of spoilers. So, if you've never played this game, and think you might like to at some point, I do not recommend reading any further. Instead, you might want to return to the interactive fiction page.

Floyd ]                 Introduction to The Laughing Gnome
Floyd | Written for the first Intfiction Weekly SpeedIF comp (1 Jan 2016),
Floyd | this was intended as a straightforward adaption of "The Laughing
Floyd | Gnome" into text adventuring, in answer to the David Bowie prompt. It
Floyd | did get slightly out of control; a list of references would be long
Floyd | and tedious, but it does seem only polite to mention Stella Street as
Floyd | an inspiration/source of ripoff material.
Floyd |
Floyd | There's a walkthrough under Walkthrough, as it happens, but following
Floyd | the song should cover you.

Floyd | Please press SPACE to continue.

		Roger says, "I'm not familiar with the song either (that I'm aware of)"
		Jacqueline says, "A song with which I am unfamiliar, but we can probably find the lyrics online."
		Teaspoon says, "they're online"
		DavidW says, "Hopefully song knowledge isn't needed."
		Roger says, "But I'll be on the lookout for some really freaky eyes without a face"
		Jacqueline asks (of Roger), "That's... Billy Idol, isn't it?"

		Teaspoon says, "Ah. Well, to cook in the fireplace seemed like it'd be lots of fiddling with MAKE A FIRE and GET KINDLING commands"

		Roger says, "We were hospitable to a ticket seller, a gnome, and a fault"
		Teaspoon says, "It's like one of those fairy tales where the protagonist is called upon to be nice to a fault and is then rewarded out of all proportion for it"
		Olly nods.
		Teaspoon says, "but you don't actually need a glass. The gnome is perfectly happy to chug wine straight from the bottle"
		Olly says, "It's always a good idea to be nice to magical creatures."
		Roger says, "Magical or just short"
		DavidW says, "I tried giving the nuts, but he seemed to only want toadstools, so I didn't think he wanted anything else."
		Roger says, "The express train reminds me slightly, but fondly, of Dark City"
		Teaspoon says, "I had a complicated gag about Terry Gilliam there, but apparently forgot to actually code in the joke"
		Roger says, "I caught that! It felt like enough."
		Teaspoon says, "oh, hurrah"
		Teaspoon asks, "Dark City?"
		Roger says, "It's a movie with maybe a bit of a cult following now"
		Teaspoon says, "I've heard about it but don't know it"
		Roger says, "If you're the sort of cat to drop a Brazil reference then I think you'd appreciate it"

ClubFloyd Transcript:
The Sueño by Marshal Tenner Winter
As played on ifMUD on February 21, 2016

The idea behind ClubFloyd is that each week at a pre-arranged time, a group of people meet online to cooperatively play a game of interactive fiction.

Below is a transcript of The Sueño written by Marshal Tenner Winter. It was part of the 2015 Interactive Fiction Competition, in which it took seventeenth place. You can learn more about the game, including how to download it, by visiting IFDB.

WARNING! Below you will find a transcript of people playing this game, and it goes without saying that the transcript is full of spoilers. So, if you've never played this game, and think you might like to at some point, I do not recommend reading any further. Instead, you might want to return to the interactive fiction page.

Floyd | Your university experience, so far, has left a lot to be desired.
Floyd | Constantly broke, you are always looking to do something to make a

Floyd |
Floyd | Waiting Room (on the office couch)
Floyd | White, sterile, clinical: it's everything a hospital waiting room
Floyd | should be, you guess.  An office couch and some office chairs await
Floyd | any sitters and a low table offers a selection of magazines.  Near a
Floyd | secure door to the north is a receptionist's desk complete with a busy
Floyd | receptionist.  The door that leads to more of the hospital, and
Floyd | eventually an exit, is to the south.

Floyd |
Floyd | "Sure."  The receptionist says into the phone before hanging up.  She
Floyd | looks up at you.  "You can go in now." She instructs as she pushes a

Floyd | You  find yourself near a babbling stream with a small waterfall

Floyd | Bank Anteroom
Floyd | This is a small anteroom mainly for ATM use when the bank proper is

Floyd | and a card-reading device is next to the interior door.
Floyd |
Floyd | What's impossible to miss, however, is the dead body on the floor of
Floyd | this anteroom.  Most likely a man, its face is gone: destroyed

ClubFloyd Transcript:
Sherlock: The Riddle of the Crown Jewels by Bob Bates
As played on ifMUD on February 28 - March 6, 2016

The idea behind ClubFloyd is that each week at a pre-arranged time, a group of people meet online to cooperatively play a game of interactive fiction.

Below is a transcript of Sherlock: The Riddle of the Crown Jewels written by Bob Bates. It is an Infocom game from 1987. You can learn more about the game, including how to download it, by visiting IFDB.

WARNING! Below you will find a transcript of people playing this game, and it goes without saying that the transcript is full of spoilers. So, if you've never played this game, and think you might like to at some point, I do not recommend reading any further. Instead, you might want to return to the interactive fiction page.

		Teaspoon asks, "ooh, Sherlock? Have we played that?"
		DavidW says, "I don't know. That might be the Infocom game."
		Teaspoon says, "IFDB strongly implies it is"
		DavidW says, "If it is the Infocom game, that'd be very difficult to play without the map and other feelies."
		Teaspoon says, "Ah well"
		DavidW says, "We could still try it if you're curious."
		DavidW says, "and geez, I'm lagging badly here."
		Teaspoon asks, "what does anyone else think?"
		Teaspoon says, "cos otherwise, I'm all for it."
		DavidW says, "Jacqueline's still asleep and Roger seems mostly idle."

		Doug asks, "is this the Infocom game?"
		DavidW says, "I assume we'll be continuing Sherlock today, unless players decide otherwise."
		Teaspoon says, "Yes"
		Teaspoon says, "And I imagine so unless someone has a reason otherwise. Which, perhaps they do."
		DavidW says, "I posted my maps of the game so-far at [LINK]"
		Teaspoon says, "that looks close to my map. Hang on."
		DavidW says, "I added a couple extra rooms that we hadn't actually seen yet, but not too many."
		Teaspoon asks, "will we have to map the Tower as well?"
		DavidW says, "Yes, the Tower has multiple rooms to it."
		DavidW says, "I suspect Diogenes Club and the Bank are only one or two rooms each, though."
		DavidW says, "and I wasn't through about the Thames."
		DavidW says, "er thorough."
		Teaspoon says, "are you sure that there's a sanctuary-nave passage? Because I seem to recall trying that one from both ends without success."
		DavidW says, "I think the Tower is similar in complexity to the Abbey, at least in room count. Probably more up-and-down than diagonals, though."
		Teaspoon says, "other than that my map matches yours"
		DavidW says, "I'm mostly confident the Nave to Sanctuary connection exists. My older notes have it indicated."
		Teaspoon says, "we can run it again in the theoretical second-playthough, if such turns out to be required."
		DavidW says, "yeah, there's a possibility of time constraints we have to be very careful about."
		Teaspoon says, "As Jac said last week, no one's expected to get an Infocom game right first through, so..."
		DavidW says, "Yes, that's quite true."
		Teaspoon says, "thanks for the map though. Looks like this could be a lifesaver."
		DavidW says, "I hope it will be. There's a few places on the larger map where we do need to visit, even though they're not suggested by the riddles."
		DavidW says, "We already found the oar in the Black Museum, for example."
		Teaspoon says, "Oh, right! Most...implausible, that."
		DavidW says, "We should wait for Jacqueline and Perry too, of course."
		DavidW asks, "oh, except Perry is already here?"
		Teaspoon says, "Oh, I was counting on waiting."
		Doug says, "Jacq said to start without her"
		DavidW says, "oh, so I see. Well, it's still not quite noon."
		DavidW asks, "I think we can wait at least 3 minutes more, eh wot?"
		Teaspoon says, "smashing pumpkins"
		DavidW says, "Also, I suppose this goes without saying, but we'll want to save often if we need to backtrack or redo a bit to save time."
		DavidW asks, "Should we wait longer or just start?"
		Teaspoon says, "suppose we might as well start"
		Teaspoon asks, "who wants to drive?"
		DavidW says, "I think you should. I sorta know how the next bit goes already."
		Teaspoon says, "okay"
		DavidW asks, "Do you know how to load the game up? Or should I do that part?"

		Jacqueline says, "Want last week's transcript, is that what I just saw? I haven't read any of the back scroll."
		Teaspoon says, "Just the last few lines so I remember what we were actually going to do next."

ClubFloyd Transcript:
Dreamland Revised by EpicNightmare
As played on ifMUD on March 13, 2016

The idea behind ClubFloyd is that each week at a pre-arranged time, a group of people meet online to cooperatively play a game of interactive fiction.

Below is a transcript of Dreamland Revised written by EpicNightmare. It was part of the Imaginary Games from Imaginary Universes Game Jam. You can learn more about the game, including how to download it, by visiting Renga in Blue.

WARNING! Below you will find a transcript of people playing this game, and it goes without saying that the transcript is full of spoilers. So, if you've never played this game, and think you might like to at some point, I do not recommend reading any further. Instead, you might want to return to the interactive fiction page.

		Jacqueline says, "So hey, good job on Sherlock last week, you two."
		Teaspoon says, "David has been heroically sorting through the Imaginary Games jam and finding out that they are mostly not Floyd-playable"
		Teaspoon exclaims, "thanks!"
		Jacqueline says, "I can do the download/upload, if you want, David, so it doesn't eat your bandwidth."
		DavidW says, "Dreamland Revised is the only viable game in this batch I've found so far."
		Jacqueline says, "Well, let's play it."
		Jacqueline says, "I'm in for something short and game jammy today, I think."
		Teaspoon says, "Sounds like a plan"
		DavidW says, "The blurb for Dreamland is bizarre in its own way too."
		Jacqueline asks, "hm?"
		Teaspoon says, "I wonder whether we are actually going to be playing that game. The comp rules said it could be a *sequel* to the described game."
		Teaspoon says, "or remix, or etcetera"
		DavidW says, "The blurb is a bit long to cut-n-paste here without warning."
		Jacqueline asks, "Pastebin?"
		[LINK]
		Jacqueline says, "huh"
		DavidW says, "It's gonna be weird whichever game we play."
		Teaspoon says, "quite"
		Jacqueline asks, "So, do you need me to install it, DW, or had you already downloaded it?"
		DavidW says, "I've downloaded it on my machine. I haven't put it on Floyd yet."
		says, "gimme a sec to give it to Floyd."
		DavidW says, "okay, it's loaded as 'dreamland'."
		Teaspoon says, "thanks"

Floyd | Hi, I'm EpicNightmare. If you're at my cloud, you know that already,
Floyd | but it's tripped all over AIXeddit now and I have no idea who's
Floyd | running it, so. (Enabled updates are the best.)
Floyd |
Floyd | If you haven't played Dreamland (by Wonderland's Alice) you should
Floyd | play it before playing this. I think Dreamland Revised is great,
Floyd | because I did the best I could, but it's also crammed full of
Floyd | spoilers.
Floyd |
Floyd | Here's my original review.
Floyd |
Floyd | ----------------------
Floyd |  Dreamland (Wonderland's Alice)
Floyd | This is some new VR/AR thing I looked at last month. The gimmick is
Floyd | it's a game that you play in your dreams. I found the concept
Floyd | intriguing, so I hooked up the ol" REM Enhancer and downloaded the
Floyd | game's app to it. At first, I couldn't tell if the game was working
Floyd | (REME and other dreamtechs can be pretty buggy), but a few days in, I
Floyd | started having the trippiest dreams. A woman, dressed all in white
Floyd | with no eyes, asks me if I have visited the "Quartzian Palace". Far
Floyd | off in the distance, I see a castle that glows in many colors, but the
Floyd | way there always seems to be blocked by a chasm. Over many nights I
Floyd | struggled to find a way there, sometimes through bizarre dangers,
Floyd | often through places of great and strange beauty, until one night, I
Floyd | finally managed to find a way into the palace…
Floyd |
Floyd | Aaaand it turns out the ending is some serious "Don't forget to drink
Floyd | your Ovaltine!" bullshit. Like, seriously. Watch it on Youtube if you
Floyd | don't believe me. It's such a shame, because the game was so cool up
Floyd | to that, but I honestly cannot recommend this game in good conscience
Floyd | thanks to that ending.
Floyd |
Floyd | I deleted the app off my REME the next day. I'm still getting ads in
Floyd | my sleep. Goddammit.
Floyd |  ----------------------
Floyd |
Floyd | So what you want to do is get across the chasm and STOP THERE. Do NOT
Floyd | use your Visage to pass the portcullis, do NOT go into the Quartzian
Floyd | Palace, that's what trips off the ads. Believe me you do not want that
Floyd | shit. Come back and play the REAL ending here.
Floyd |
Floyd | If you don't know how to work this game, key HELP ME.
Floyd |
Floyd | >

		Teaspoon says, "whoa"
Teaspoon says (to Floyd), "help me" 		

Floyd ]  End-World
Floyd | >
Floyd | > HELP ME
Floyd |
Floyd | Okay, you've never played a game like this. Neither had I. They are
Floyd | completely fucking weird, so don't feel bad.
Floyd |
Floyd | The big problem I had when I was making this game is that Dreamland
Floyd | was a fully enabled system and this isn't.
Floyd |
Floyd | The way this is supposed to work is that you key what you
Floyd | want to do, and then the game does it. But Inform 7 is from 2020, so
Floyd | instead of understanding English, it has a list of verbs and a list of
Floyd | nouns and it pairs them off in grammar structures. Like this:
Floyd |
Floyd | EXAMINE (something) <-- look at whatever-it-is
Floyd |  TAKE (something) <-- pick something up
Floyd |  PUT (something) IN (something) <-- you get the idea by now, right?
Floyd |
Floyd | Whoever made this system made some really weird decisions. For
Floyd | example, the built-in input to find out what you're carrying was
Floyd | INVENTORY, but that isn't even a verb. I made it so you can key WHAT
Floyd | DO I HAVE instead, because that makes a lot more sense.
Floyd |
Floyd | The built-in input to walk around is with compass directions, like
Floyd | NORTH SOUTH EAST etc etc. First off, this bears no relation to how
Floyd | people walk around in real life, and second off, it's not like
Floyd | Dreamland had a stable compass. I put in a thing so you can just key
Floyd | GO (wherever) and go where you want to go. GO only works when you're
Floyd | right near where you want to go, so don't try to teleport around the
Floyd | map that way.
Floyd |
Floyd | The worst part of this was figuring out how to convert enabled stuff
Floyd | into this system. Example, we all know how to change the Visage from
Floyd | state to state. But how do you describe that in just one verb? And
Floyd | there are like forty different names for the different states,
Floyd | depending on whose cloud you hit. I went with ASSUME VISAGE and
Floyd | Depardu's emotive list, like ASSUME DETERMINED VISAGE, but you can use
Floyd | the Allis creature list instead if you want. Key SHOW LIST if you need
Floyd | a reminder.
Floyd |
Floyd | There aren't any puzzles here, so if you paid attention when you
Floyd | played the original, you shouldn't have any trouble. If you played it
Floyd | too long ago and your memory is flaky, key REMIND ME for a reminder.
Floyd | If you can't figure out the right input, key WHAT DO I DO NEXT to get
Floyd | the next command (or just NEXT, I made it easy.)

		Teaspoon asks, "everyone read that?"
		DavidW says, "I have now. That's a lot to take in."

By stealing their eye while they were passing it amongst themselves, the hero Perseus forced them to tell the whereabouts of the three objects needed to kill Medusa (in other versions the whereabouts of Medusa herself), by ransoming their shared eye for the information.[3] One might compare the Graeae with the three spinners of Destiny, (the Moirai); the northern European Norns; or the Baltic goddess Laima and her two sisters; though all are distinct trios.
		Jacqueline says, "So, other than, is there a tooth around here, I'm not sure what to do."

ClubFloyd Transcript:
Garbage Collection by Matt Weiner (as expl0rerfr34k)
Gaia's Web by Nigel Jayne
As played on ifMUD on March 20, 2016

The idea behind ClubFloyd is that each week at a pre-arranged time, a group of people meet online to cooperatively play a game of interactive fiction.

Below is a transcript of Garbage Collection written by Matt Weiner (as expl0rerfr34k), and Gaia's Web written by Nigel Jayne. It was part of the Imaginary Games from Imaginary Universes Game Jam. You can learn more about the games, including how to download them, by visiting Renga in Blue.

WARNING! Below you will find a transcript of people playing these games, and it goes without saying that the transcript is full of spoilers. So, if you've never played these games, and think you might like to at some point, I do not recommend reading any further. Instead, you might want to return to the interactive fiction page.

To skip directly to a particular game, click on its title:

		Teaspoon asks, "what did we have in mind for this week, more Imaginary Games?"
		Jacqueline asks (of DW), "Do you recall what the other Floydable games were in the imaginary games from imaginary universes collection?"
		Teaspoon says, "the Garbage game was one"
		Jacqueline says (to Teaspoon), "That's right. Thanks. I'll get that set up."
		DavidW says, "lessee. Gaia's Web, Garbage Collection, Unreal City."
		Teaspoon says, "Thanks."
		Jacqueline says, "Oh really? That many. Cool."
		DavidW says, "(I didn't remember, but I now indicate the platform in game directories.)"
		Jacqueline says, "ah"
		Jacqueline asks (of DW), "Are you ready, or do you still need a minute?"
		DavidW says (to Jacqueline), "One could also say that few. There's a lot more than four non-Floyables."
		Jacqueline says, "Yeah."
		DavidW says, "uh. I used the bathroom and rinsed my mouth. I'll catch up with as we play."
		DavidW says, "er with the rest."
		DavidW says, "I have cereal and paper and tea to hand."
		Jacqueline asks, "Well, first off, has everybody read the blurb?"
		Teaspoon says, "Yes."
		DavidW says, "no"
		Jacqueline says, "(I'm reading it now.)"
olethros arrives, full of fun and funk. 		olethros says, "hey, I am here too, for a change. Where is the blurb"
		[LINK]
		Teaspoon says, "halfway down"
		olethros says, "not precise enough"
		Jacqueline says (to olethros), "Garbage Collection"
		Jacqueline says, "I'm ready when others are."
		DavidW says, "I'm mostly ready. This sounds like it'll be fun."
		olethros says, "ok"
		Jacqueline says, "It does. Though this may not be that game."
		Jacqueline says, "This may be a fanfic of that game."
		Jacqueline says, "But I kind of suspect it'll be that game."

Floyd | Stream of Consciousness
Floyd | From among the trees, you continue to watch the naked women. The
Floyd | younger and shorter of the two wades into the stream, her hair like
Floyd | threads spun from Midas' gold. She lowers her basket to the water's
Floyd | surface. Fish flop into it, settling into a motionless stack. The
Floyd | other woman, bright flowers in her black hair, plucks apples from a
Floyd | tree and drops them into the basket hanging from her arm. The fruit
Floyd | ripen and swell under her touch.
Floyd |
Floyd | You were right. Nymphs. Your search is nearly over.
Floyd |
Floyd | The water nymph returns to land. She begins to sing. The forest nymph
Floyd | joins in, her pitch deeper than that of the blond. With both of their

Floyd |
Floyd | You venture from the trees to the stream, keeping the nymphs in sight.
Floyd | They have joined a group of their sisters to the north of you. You

Floyd |
Floyd | Will the Ship Sink?
Floyd |
Floyd | Two years ago, an anonymous game creator released S.hip of
Floyd | Theseus, a game that redefined "interactive." The game took place
Floyd | on screen and in the "real world." The within-game conspiracies
Floyd | spilled over into reality, and players could find their inboxes full
Floyd | of incriminating e-mails, their movements followed by cameras, their
Floyd | conversations recorded. Players had reason to be suspicious of that
Floyd | stranger hanging around the street or the people they saw at the
Floyd | grocery store.
Floyd |
Floyd | The game became a huge success and eventually an independent game
Floyd | creator, Marc Kamen, was outed as its author. Industry came calling,
Floyd | but Marc refused their advances. Unfortunately, and apparently without
Floyd | warning to family or friends, Marc committed suicide. FromChaos
Floyd | obtained the rights to his creation. With their deeper pockets and
Floyd | vast resources, FromChaos turned S.hip of Theseus into a
Floyd | worldwide blockbuster.
Floyd |
Floyd | A sequel was inevitable. Earlier this year, FromChaos released
Floyd | Gaia's Web, which wasn't that sequel, but rather a purely
Floyd | text-based introduction to what was to come. This Friday, FromChaos is
Floyd | publishing the heavily-anticipated follow-up to S.hip,
Floyd | Re.constructing the Ship of Theseus. Every day this week we
Floyd | will be previewing this new release, which boasts that it is
Floyd | "interactive fiction that will change your world. Literally."

Floyd |
Floyd | You touch the S.hip of Theseus review. S.hip of
Floyd | Theseus
Floyd |
Floyd | I was so pleased to see VM Straka's Ship of Theseus adapted
Floyd | as a game; he's a criminally underrated writer. S.hip of
Floyd | Theseus is one of the most interesting experiments I've seen
Floyd | since the House of Leaves ARG disaster, so naturally I was
Floyd | excited to see what the developers did. The manner of adaptation feels
Floyd | like an homage to its source material: the game blends traditional IF
Floyd | tools with new technology as you piece together the multinational
Floyd | conspiracy at its heart. Most notably, the game tracks your progress
Floyd | via drone surveillance, which is used to trigger later levels and make
Floyd | information assimilation more difficult. (Flooding my department was a
Floyd | nice touch of verisimilitude for which I applaud the anonymous
Floyd | designer.)
Floyd |
Floyd | Where S.hip of Theseus shines is the incorporation of
Floyd | multiplayer format; in Act 2 you're paired with another player, and so
Floyd | the narrative shifts. Clues are possible to destroy, depending on how
Floyd | careful a reader you are - or your partner is. (There's been a lot of
Floyd | complaining about the procedurally-generated pairing lists, but the
Floyd | developers quite rightly pointed out that it's possible to rig a
Floyd | simple last-in-first-out stack to ensure two friends or lovers are
Floyd | paired together. Though I can't imagine why you'd want to - being
Floyd | responsible for a loved one's implication in a major government

		
Floyd conspiracy? If you get the [REDACTED] ending, you won't even find out 		

Floyd | for a good 5-7 years if they can forgive you.)

ClubFloyd Transcript:
Unreal City by Joey Jones
Life on Mars? by Hugo Labrande
As played on ifMUD on March 27, 2016

The idea behind ClubFloyd is that each week at a pre-arranged time, a group of people meet online to cooperatively play a game of interactive fiction.

Below is a transcript of Unreal City written by Joey Jones, and Life on Mars? written by Hugo Labrande. Unreal City was released as part of the Imaginary Games from Imaginary Universes Game Jam; you can learn more about the game, including how to download it, by visiting Renga in Blue. Life on Mars? was originally released as part of the 2013 French Comp (in which it took first place) and was later rereleased in English as part of the 2015 Interactive Fiction Competition (in which it placed thirteenth); you can learn more about Life on Mars? by visiting IFDB.

WARNING! Below you will find a transcript of people playing these games, and it goes without saying that the transcript is full of spoilers. So, if you've never played these games, and think you might like to at some point, I do not recommend reading any further. Instead, you might want to return to the interactive fiction page.

ANOTHER WARNING! A lot (most!) of the transcripts contained on this site are, shall we say, family-friendly. This is not one of those family-friendly transcripts. Just so we're clear.

#ClubFloyd Discussion
		

		O'Tiz asks, "what game are we playing today?"
		Jacqueline says, "We're going to play Unreal City."
		O'Tiz says, "havent heard of it yet :)"
		Roger says, "Possibly an allusion to Eliot's Waste Land, but maybe not"
		Roger says, "Oh hunh:"
		Roger | The phrase "Unreal City" is actually a reference to Charles Baudelaire, a 19th-century French poet whose collection, Fleurs du Mal (1857), brought light to the unsavory sexual practices and indulgent lifestyles of the poet's time
		Jacqueline says, "So, assuming that Teaspoon's computer isn't broken... we'll get started here in a sec."
		Roger says, "(from some commentary on Eliot's Waste Land)"
		Jacqueline says (to Roger), "Huh"
		DavidW asks, "So we might be in for some oo-la-la?"
		Jacqueline gets her 'Adult Content' warning ready for the transcript, in case she needs it.
		Roger says, "Anything's possible"
Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "load sleepmask unrealcity"

		Jacqueline | I had to smuggle it under my hat through test, but I managed to get the pre-alpha version of UNREAL CITY. There's not much too it. You can explore up to the main strip in the city and it's different every time you reload.
		Jacqueline | The rest of the city, the bar social ecosystem, the music and visuals, the ingratiating, the arguing, the dynamic quest system, the rival afterlife agents and all the rest of it have yet to be folded into this branch.
		Jacqueline | Hardly any commands work- I think the prompt was left in for alpha testing. I was able to 'pump' to improve my reputation in places, but it just made people argue.

		Jacqueline says, "Kind of sad that there's not more there. That sounded good."
		Teaspoon says, "agreed."
		Jacqueline says, "It'll be funny if I get an email from Joey Jones telling us how stupid we were that we couldn't get into the main game."
		Teaspoon says, "Which reminds me, David, I am working on Choice of Sandwich. As soon as I teach myself Choicescript."
		DavidW says, "Maybe version 2 can generate yelp reviews of the bars."
		Jacqueline says, "hee"
		Teaspoon says, "tee"
		DavidW says (to Teaspoon), "ooo. I like sandwiches."
		Jacqueline asks, "Anyway, you all ready for the next game?"
		Teaspoon says, "agreed."
		DavidW says, "please"
		Jacqueline says, "It will give some warnings, but I've loaded it up and played to an email, and that all works. So it's basically that Hugo only changed one line of code and didn't strip out any of the warnings and stuff. So don't let those worry you."

Floyd | time effects are used extensively by the game; your experiences will
Floyd | then probably be somewhat far from the game as intended by the author,
Floyd | although its playability will not be impacted. For the full
Floyd | experience, we recommend using interpreter software such as Gargoyle
Floyd | or Frotz, but we're glad you are playing any version!

Floyd |
Floyd | It's just a terminal, a monitor and peripherals; all the work and the
Floyd | computations are done by the central computer of the base, located
Floyd | underground, a gigantic computer built patiently by robots one mission
Floyd | after the other. The base computer centralises and interprets all the
Floyd | data coming from the base's systems, from the humidity in the
Floyd | greenhouse to the air pressure in the airlocks; whenever needed, it
Floyd | sends orders to Bill and Bob, who are in a way its arms and legs. It
Floyd | was made to control thousands of systems and dozens of robots, but
Floyd | since the majority of the base is closed off, it is rather underused;
Floyd | right now it spends its days showing your emails and playing music.

Floyd | interested in here.
Floyd | [i was harsh, she comes back with her tail between her legs]
Floyd |
Floyd | I apologize if you have interpreted my explanation as an attempt to
Floyd | repress your feelings. It was, obviously, not the goal. I was simply
Floyd | [at the same time, she crossed the line here]
Floyd | looking to draw your attention to facts that have been clinically
Floyd | proven in psychology, that you may not know about and that could help
Floyd | you see and interpret the situation from a different

Floyd |
Floyd | I would still like you to tell me more about this memory, and what it

Floyd | Hello Charlotte,
Floyd |
Floyd | I'm working at the Launching Department -- I don't know if you
Floyd | remember
Floyd | me? We briefly chatted at a reception that happened a few days before
Floyd | the
Floyd | launch.
Floyd |
Floyd | I have a favor to ask you, if you don't mind: the schoolteacher in my
Floyd | son
Floyd | Anthony's class (he's 9) asked them to find a famous person to whom
Floyd | they
Floyd | could write a letter and ask them a few questions. And you are a
Floyd | famous
Floyd | person, and all the kids know you, so I was wondering if by any chance
Floyd | you would accept doing this. Of course, we will probably need to get
Floyd | the
Floyd | OK from our hierarchy, but I wanted to ask you first if you would
Floyd | would like to do it... It'd mean a lot to him! Tell me what you
Floyd | think.
Floyd |
Floyd | Best regards,
Floyd | Mick Doherty
Floyd | [that's cute, Mick, but I have other things on my mind right
Floyd | now...]
Floyd | [well, i'm sure that our hierarchy is minimizing what's going on
Floyd | to everyone]
Floyd | ["oh no, she's fine, she's just a bit sad"]
Floyd | ["of course, send it to her, it'll take her mind off things"]
Floyd | [people can't possibly understand what it represents]

Floyd |
Floyd | Hello Charlotte,
Floyd | [ah right, that email...]
Floyd |
Floyd | Recently, Colonel Klein paid me a visit, and he seemed very concerned
Floyd | about your emotional state. He told me about a series of emails you
Floyd | exchanged with him, in which you maintained having pushed a button in
Floyd | the
Floyd | shuttle just before the accident, which according to you was what
Floyd | caused
Floyd | the explosion. However, according to him, and the engineers under his
Floyd | orders, it is impossible that you could have pushed this button.
Floyd | [i may have reacted badly when I saw this email...]
Floyd |
Floyd | I'd like you to tell me what this memory means to you. It seems like
Floyd | [when i read it again, she wasn't as aggressive as I thought]
Floyd | it is something important, and that is likely carrying an emotional
Floyd | meaning   [but still, it's not very professional]
Floyd | that must be heavy to carry in your situation. I would have liked it
Floyd | if       [you don't force your patient to talk about something
Floyd | they don't want to talk about, right?]
Floyd | you had told me about it earlier; it is possible that working on
Floyd | this memory could help relieve your pain, and allow you to move
Floyd | forward.
Floyd |
Floyd | I would like to draw your attention to the fact that it is very much
Floyd | possible that this memory does not correspond to an action that
Floyd | actually
Floyd | happened. The works of several psychologists have shown that memories
Floyd | can     [but is she telling the truth?]
Floyd | be constructed and modified by the brain in certain situations,
Floyd | including     [or are Klein and the others pulling the
Floyd | strings?]
Floyd | situations of post-traumatic stress disorder. In your case, it could
Floyd | represent an adaptation strategy that your brain adopted in response
Floyd | to
Floyd | this catastrophic event:  the fact that it was accidental,
Floyd | unforeseeable
Floyd | and without any logic may be too much to take in. Which does not mean
Floyd | that    ["just make up an explanation, Dr Peters"]
Floyd | you cannot function normally in other ways; it is a process that is
Floyd | very      ["something that sounds plausible, so that she gets that
Floyd | idea out of her head"]
Floyd | different from hallucinations or sensory malfunction, which are more
Floyd | worrying symptoms.
Floyd |
Floyd | Waiting for your reply,
Floyd | Take care of yourself,
Floyd | Dr Diane Peters

Floyd | will answer questions on Ares Space's exploration program, the current

Floyd | ["we're taking it slow with her, but her morale is good"]
Floyd | [I could let the truth be known to everyone, I should]

Floyd |
Floyd | Hello Charlotte,
Floyd |
Floyd | For the last time, I'm asking you to stop insisting. It is
Floyd | literally impossible, whatever you may say.
Floyd |
Floyd | The ship did not stop sending frequent backups of the black box, all
Floyd | through the trip. We have in our possession two copies of the ship's
Floyd | parameters when the accident happened: an incomplete one sent by
Floyd | the ship, and one coming directly from the actual black box that was
Floyd | recovered by the base's robots, which we received a few days after
Floyd | the accident. Hence, when I tell you that this button wasn't pushed,
Floyd | by you or anyone else, you must believe me; we have definite proof
Floyd | of what we're saying here.
Floyd |
Floyd | I do not doubt that you are sincere, but think a little, will you?
Floyd | You
Floyd | went through a horrendous crash that was most likely traumatizing;
Floyd | your
Floyd | brain may have some misfires these days, and if I tell you that I'm
Floyd | absolutely certain that you didn't do it, then you didn't do it. I
Floyd | imagine
Floyd | those are the repercussions of the accident. Take some rest and come
Floyd | back
Floyd | quickly to 100% of your abilities. We need you.
Floyd |
Floyd | Colonel Frank Klein.
Floyd |
Floyd | [...]
Floyd | [he can say whatever he wants, i pushed the button]
Floyd | [they're lying to me]
Floyd | [they want to make me doubt so I don't go insane]
Floyd | [i must be available to them, so that the program isn't slowed
Floyd | down]
Floyd | [so that they don't end up with a total mission failure]
Floyd | [so that they can tell the story of the heroic survivor who
Floyd | overcomes hardships to give Mars to the Earth]
Floyd | [people love stories like that, and it makes the market share tick
Floyd | up]

Floyd | and the few vegetables you're supposed to eat try their best to

Floyd | The little red robot is Bob. You don't really know why, but that's the
Floyd | name he's been given. He's one of the two robots that live with you.
Floyd | They move around, but they don't have consciousness, and they aren't
Floyd | really capable of interacting with you -- robotics hasn't evolved fast
Floyd | enough to make robots that would be able to keep you company. They are
Floyd | controlled by the central computer, which gives them all sorts of
Floyd | tasks to perform in the base, from taking care of the plants to
Floyd | cleaning the rug, or even analysing samples.

Floyd |
Floyd | You scratch and dig the soil a bit, and you find two carrots which
Floyd | look edible, as well as some mushrooms of adequate size, and a few
Floyd | leaves from a lettuce. You gulp down what you just harvested; the
Floyd | vegetables are rather bland, and whatever little taste they have has
Floyd | very little resemblance to vegetables from Earth, which makes eating
Floyd | them a strange experience. In no more than five minutes your meal is
Floyd | over, if you can call that a meal; you brush the soil off your hands
Floyd | as you get to your feet. The robots will take care of replanting when
Floyd | the sensors in the ground will have detected that the vegetables have
Floyd | been picked.
Floyd |
Floyd | Ah, you have an email -- your computer just made that noise.

		DavidW says, "gee, no salad dressing or even a bowl? We didn't even wash the veggies."
		Jacqueline says, "Yeah. I was expecting us to at least wash the dirt off of them. That's hell on one's enamel."
		Teaspoon says, "I would also be depressed if I was eating raw vegetables and nothing else for months on end."

Floyd | By the greenhouse
Floyd | Through the glass door on your right, you can see the base's
Floyd | greenhouse, which enables you to survive for now -- and for how long?
Floyd | There are a few weird vegetables and a couple of herbs valiantly
Floyd | attempting to survive in this cold and hostile Martian soil,
Floyd | constantly monitored by the central computer for optimal conditions.
Floyd | South is the room where you live; the bathroom is north.

Floyd |
Floyd | It's just a terminal, a monitor and peripherals; all the work and the
Floyd | computations are done by the central computer of the base, located
Floyd | underground, a gigantic computer built patiently by robots one mission
Floyd | after the other. The base computer centralises and interprets all the
Floyd | data coming from the base's systems, from the humidity in the
Floyd | greenhouse to the air pressure in the airlocks; whenever needed, it
Floyd | sends orders to Bill and Bob, who are in a way its arms and legs. It
Floyd | was made to control thousands of systems and dozens of robots, but
Floyd | since the majority of the base is closed off, it is rather underused;
Floyd | right now it spends its days showing your emails and playing music.

Floyd | Hello Charlotte,
Floyd | [hm, what does Tacker want?]
Floyd |
Floyd | A little mission for you today, if you feel up for it. We'd like to
Floyd | try to redo some calculations on base operations, energy consumption,
Floyd | nutritional needs, all that stuff. So, could you try to go to the
Floyd | storeroom and tell us what's left there? Actually, what would be most
Floyd | useful for us would be to know how many protein loaves are left in the
Floyd | [haha, he'll never say "recycled shit"]
Floyd | storeroom. Let us know as soon as you can, so we can look into this
Floyd | over
Floyd | here.
Floyd |
Floyd | Take care of yourself.
Floyd | Tacker

		Jacqueline says (to DW), "haha"
		Teaspoon asks, "Are we even on the same planet as those keys?"
		DavidW says, "The storeroom of burritos turned into a storeroom of "protein loaves"."
		Teaspoon says, "I think we have to assume that we're far away and not taking care of ourselves especially well."
		Teaspoon says, "if the psychiatrist was around we might have a bed. Etc."
		Jacqueline says, "Yeah, I'm wondering if it's like how someone in a very big organization sends an All Employee email about the gloves found in the parking lot when really it should have only been sent to the San Francisco folks, not the other twenty offices in other cities and countries."
		DavidW says, "And a bath. A nice bath can be lovely."
		Teaspoon says, "That's what it sounds like."
		Teaspoon says, "there is only a shower, from the sound of it."
		DavidW says, "hmph. Anyone going to Mars ought to take lots and lots of water."
		Jacqueline says, "Well, all the water gets recycled."
		Teaspoon says, "Well, this seems to be a commercial enterprise that's scraping on the budget."
		DavidW says, "One still needs lots of it."
		Jacqueline says, "Or, we *will* recycle all the water. When we go there."
		Teaspoon asks, "how do we get there?"
		DavidW asks, "Where's this storeroom, anyway?"
Teaspoon pushes the green 'space' button.

Floyd | Corridor
Floyd | You've never liked this corridor -- more precisely, you've always felt
Floyd | a bit queasy when walking in it, and you don't really need that right
Floyd | now. It is small, rather narrow, and the neon that's supposed to light
Floyd | it is blinking a pallid light. You really don't have a good feeling

Floyd |
Floyd | You bend down and start picking up the tofu loaves, putting them on

Floyd | to fill the silence, and to avoid losing track of the number. Finally,
Floyd | after ten minutes or so, you get to the end of the pile. "One

Floyd | kind of curved metal tube, with a motion detector. Of course, like all
Floyd | the water sources on the base, the water that flows is methodically
Floyd | recovered, treated and reused; you and the plants need it. But it's
Floyd | not really like you were lacking water here either: there's quite a
Floyd | bit of ice on Mars, and moreover the fuel cells which power the base
Floyd | (partly, the other part is coming from the Sun) create water as a
Floyd | byproduct when releasing energy. But all that costs energy or
Floyd | hydrogen, so everything is controlled and reused, in an effort to
Floyd | waste as little as possible.
Floyd | The sink is currently switched off.

Floyd | By the deactivated door
Floyd | On the other side of the door, it is pitch black, or almost. This is
Floyd | the remainder of the base, which circuits have been deactivated after
Floyd | the catastrophe. Resources are rare, we can't afford to leave you
Floyd | access the whole base, which was designed to be used by the four of
Floyd | you. We put everything you might need in one wing. Let us know if you
Floyd | need anything else, but you should be fine. The storeroom is next to
Floyd | the door, towards the east; westwards, a bit further around the
Floyd | corner, is the dorm where the crew was supposed to sleep, which is now
Floyd | empty, and the corridor runs north to the main room.

		Teaspoon says, "We could go west just to go ghost hunting"

Floyd | Corridor
Floyd | You've never liked this corridor -- more precisely, you've always felt
Floyd | a bit queasy when walking in it, and you don't really need that right
Floyd | now. It is small, rather narrow, and the neon that's supposed to light
Floyd | it is blinking a pallid light. You really don't have a good feeling
Floyd | about it. That's also why you moved your sleeping bag to the main room
Floyd | north, so you don't have to walk in this corridor every night to go to
Floyd | the quarters, which are located next to the deactivated door at the
Floyd | south end of the corridor.

Floyd | Office
Floyd | Everything is shrouded in half-darkness, as always. Your sleeping bag
Floyd | is rolled in a ball, crumpled up in its usual spot in the corner of
Floyd | the room. In the opposite corner are your chair and computer desk.
Floyd | Your computer's looping the same playlist, as always. You spend most
Floyd | of your time here, although you go to the greenhouse from time to
Floyd | time. This is fine.
Floyd |
Floyd | To the north, a little alcove leads to the greenhouse door. The
Floyd | corridor leading to the rest of the base is south.

Floyd |
Floyd |   From: uawunion@aresmail.com [Mon 17 Sept 2018 05:00 PM]
Floyd |
Floyd | Dear colleagues,
Floyd |
Floyd | Today, the United Aerospace Workers feel it is their responsibility
Floyd | to
Floyd | blow the whistle on the working conditions at Ares Space. Those
Floyd | working
Floyd | conditions are getting worse and worse, between unpaid hours of
Floyd | overtime
Floyd | and uncertainties surrounding the end-of-year bonus, as well as the
Floyd | pressure the company is putting its employees under.
Floyd |
Floyd | We already attempted to draw the attention of workers and the media
Floyd | to
Floyd | those working conditions two months ago, shortly before the
Floyd | catastrophe we
Floyd | all know about. Ever since then, the working conditions have not
Floyd | improved,
Floyd | and have even gotten worse. We report and criticize the following
Floyd | facts,
Floyd | which appeared within the last six weeks:
Floyd | - the constant changes in the workers' schedules;
Floyd | - the older model of shuttle being brought back in the factory
Floyd | without
Floyd | any complementary training given to the workers, which also puts
Floyd | new
Floyd | entrants at a disadvantage;
Floyd | - the contradictory orders and constant reconfiguration of the
Floyd | missions
Floyd | (order, content, durations, etc.), which betrays a clear lack of
Floyd | organization for the last six weeks;
Floyd | - inadequate psychological support and follow-up provided to
Floyd | employees.
Floyd | This also adds to our previous grievances, which were about the late
Floyd | payment or even sometimes the non-payment of overtime, or difficult
Floyd | schedules in the manufacturing unit when, as the recent events
Floyd | unfortunately show, ensuring both quality and security is paramount,
Floyd | and
Floyd | this requires to have qualified personnel be able to work under good
Floyd | conditions.
Floyd |
Floyd | We ask for our grievances to be heard by corporate management, and we
Floyd | wish
Floyd | to be given an interview with Mr Schwartz as soon as possible to
Floyd | discuss
Floyd | those points.
Floyd |
Floyd | Have a nice day,
Floyd | Your UAW representatives
Floyd |
Floyd | [good for them, i guess...]
Floyd | [pffff]
Floyd | [who's going to help me get out of this?]
Floyd |

Floyd | Hello Charlotte,
Floyd |
Floyd | A little mission for you today, if you feel up for it. We'd like to
Floyd | try to redo some calculations on base operations, energy consumption,
Floyd | nutritional needs, all that stuff. So, could you try to go to the
Floyd | storeroom and tell us what's left there? Actually, what would be most
Floyd | useful for us would be to know how many protein loaves are left in the
Floyd | storeroom. Let us know as soon as you can, so we can look into this
Floyd | over
Floyd | here.
Floyd |
Floyd | Take care of yourself.

Floyd |
Floyd | Office
Floyd | Everything is shrouded in half-darkness, as always. Your sleeping bag
Floyd | is rolled in a ball, crumpled up in its usual spot in the corner of
Floyd | the room. In the opposite corner are your chair and computer desk.
Floyd | Your computer's looping the same playlist, as always. You spend most
Floyd | of your time here, although you go to the greenhouse from time to
Floyd | time. This is fine.
Floyd |
Floyd | To the north, a little alcove leads to the greenhouse door. The
Floyd | corridor leading to the rest of the base is south.

		Teaspoon asks, "What tune do you think?"
		DavidW says, "I'm getting awfully tired and need another lie-down soon."
		Teaspoon says, "thanks for letting us know"
		Teaspoon says, "I'm not sure what we do now. Go ghost hunting, perhaps."
		DavidW says, "yeah, maybe."

Floyd |
Floyd | Corridor
Floyd | You've never liked this corridor -- more precisely, you've always felt
Floyd | a bit queasy when walking in it, and you don't really need that right
Floyd | now. It is small, rather narrow, and the neon that's supposed to light
Floyd | it is blinking a pallid light. You really don't have a good feeling
Floyd | about it. That's also why you moved your sleeping bag to the main room
Floyd | north, so you don't have to walk in this corridor every night to go to
Floyd | the quarters, which are located next to the deactivated door at the
Floyd | south end of the corridor.
Floyd |

Floyd |
Floyd |
Floyd | By the deactivated door
Floyd | On the other side of the door, it is pitch black, or almost. This is
Floyd | the remainder of the base, which circuits have been deactivated after
Floyd | the catastrophe. Resources are rare, we can't afford to leave you
Floyd | access the whole base, which was designed to be used by the four of
Floyd | you. We put everything you might need in one wing. Let us know if you
Floyd | need anything else, but you should be fine. The storeroom is next to
Floyd | the door, towards the east; westwards, a bit further around the
Floyd | corner, is the dorm where the crew was supposed to sleep, which is now
Floyd | empty, and the corridor runs north to the main room.
Floyd |
Floyd | What are you still doing there, you wretch? What's the point?
Floyd | You're useless here, the robots are doing all the work.
Floyd | The harmful thoughts are coming back... It's hard to avoid them these
Floyd | days. And you know that when they start, the only thing there is to
Floyd | make them stop is curl up in a ball in your bed and empty your mind,
Floyd | meditate, or sleep. That's the way it is. Maybe it'll eventually get
Floyd | better.
Floyd |
Floyd | >

		DavidW asks, "What science do we do again?"
		Teaspoon asks, "Oh. Well, apparently, none, if the robots do it all. We're a meatbag sent to test Martian living conditions, I guess?"
Teaspoon says (to Floyd), "s" 		

Floyd | >
Floyd | > S
Floyd |
Floyd | The door is controlled by the central computer, which is itself
Floyd | controlled by the base. In any case, you really don't need any more of
Floyd | empty, dark, depressing spaces; you have enough of that right now.

Floyd | You look at your sleeping bag, and you suddenly feel an overwhelming
Floyd | weariness taking over, like it often happens. What's the point of all
Floyd | this? Why do all this, why does it matter? Your only desire right now
Floyd | is to curl up in a ball. And who will prevent you from that? You can
Floyd | do whatever you want.

		DavidW says, "I'm liking this lie in the bed idea."
		Teaspoon says, "sleep"
		DavidW says, "push space"
Teaspoon pushes the green 'space' button. 		

Floyd | do whatever you want.Alright, that's enough for today. Weariness,
Floyd | fatigue, emptiness are heavy to bear, and you feel like you're going
Floyd | down a bad slippery slope. The best strategy is to go to bed,
Floyd | meditate, empty your head, let yourself drift in sleep; luckily,
Floyd | you've always managed to find sleep quickly and whenever you wanted
Floyd | it, ever since you were little.
Floyd |
Floyd | You slip inside your sleeping bag, and close your eyes. The thoughts
Floyd | are still racing in your mind, but you know the solution. You start
Floyd | counting, slowly, starting from fifty -- you and Dr Peters discovered
Floyd | that counting down only triggered visions of space shuttles, launches,
Floyd | stress, in your brain, and only brought the trauma back. Slowly,
Floyd | softly, steadily, focusing on every single syllable...

Floyd | In the submarine
Floyd | The walls are blank, the colors grey and green. A periscope in front
Floyd | of you; it's up.

		
Teaspoon says (to Floyd), "x periscope" 		

Floyd | of you; it's up.
Floyd |
Floyd | >lower periscope

		DavidW says, "zzzzz"
		Teaspoon says, "sleep well"
Teaspoon says (to Floyd), "look through periscope" 		

Floyd | >lower periscope
Floyd | The periscope is way up. You jump to reach it, but you can't grab it.
Floyd |
Floyd | Behind you, Eduardo smiles at you. "I'll help you."
Floyd |
Floyd | You feel his hands on your hips, and you jump, and you manage to hang
Floyd | to the periscope, then to climb up the tower, way up.
Floyd |
Floyd | On the submarine
Floyd | You are standing on the submarine's metal hatch. You look around.
Floyd | Everything is dark, it's sunset. The sky is reddish, the water a dark
Floyd | blue. Not a wave, like a clear mirror made of water. Far away, an
Floyd | island.

		
Teaspoon says (to Floyd), "x island" 		

Floyd | island.
Floyd |
Floyd | >get down

		
Teaspoon says (to Floyd), "get down" 		

Floyd | >get down
Floyd | You get down inside the ship.
Floyd |
Floyd | In the submarine
Floyd | The walls inside are straight, and covered with instruments and dials
Floyd | that you cannot read clearly. You friends are by the ceiling, floating
Floyd | around -- you are under water, which leaked into the hull. A red
Floyd | button lies on the floor.

		
Teaspoon says (to Floyd), "x dials" 		

Floyd | button lies on the floor.
Floyd |
Floyd | >push red button

		
Teaspoon says (to Floyd), "wait" 		

Floyd | >push red button
Floyd | You push the red button, and the other three scream, shriek. You don't
Floyd | feel anything, but you jump. Their screams are very distinctly real
Floyd | and hurt your ears.
Floyd |
Floyd | The fire extinguisher next to you starts blowing steam out, like a
Floyd | pressure cooker. A horrible whistling noise, a high-pitched noise,
Floyd | getting louder and higher, like an alarm or a plane going down.
Floyd | Eduardo looks at you, as if he wasn't understanding what was happening
Floyd | to him, his eyes full of reproach.
Floyd |
Floyd | With an expression full of hate, Michel lunges for you, and you push
Floyd | him back. His head hits a crossbar and he starts bleeding inside his
Floyd | space suit. He starts melting inside his space suit, all you can see
Floyd | are red bubbles and his face decomposing quickly, his skull tearing
Floyd | off. You want to close your eyes but you can't.
Floyd |
Floyd | An explosion, and shrapnel floats parallel to you, in slow motion.
Floyd | Pieces of metal, the dials' hands, glass, knifes.
Floyd |
Floyd | You can't stop looking at Eduardo's face, torn apart by thousands of
Floyd | projectiles, his skin peeling off his skull in big shreds, the red
Floyd | color of his muscles, the red of his blood, his cry of pain, his face
Floyd | crumbing away, his skin tearing off...
Floyd |
Floyd | You turn around, and a grenade is right in front of your face, you see
Floyd | every single one of its details, and then it freezes, then explodes in
Floyd | your face...

Floyd |
Floyd |
Floyd |
Floyd | You wake up, screaming, shaking, tense, sitting up, then quickly on
Floyd | your feet, but then just as quickly back down on all fours, curled up
Floyd | in a ball.
Floyd |
Floyd | Your heart is beating very fast, too fast, it's going to shut down on
Floyd | you. Your breathing is nothing but loud whimpers, gasps, sobs.
Floyd |
Floyd | After a few seconds, or minutes, of this intense terror, you manage to
Floyd | control yourself somewhat again, with great difficulty. That one was
Floyd | vivid. They all are. Dozens of terrible details that haunt you. Morbid
Floyd | dreams that you can still remember, even the little details, weeks
Floyd | later. All similar, all different, all terrifying.
Floyd |
Floyd | It's hard, but you get back up, and you stretch with a big sigh. You
Floyd | hate the days that start with nightmares. You can never quite shake
Floyd | them off, and the cloud hangs over your head the whole day through.
Floyd | Every day starts with a nightmare these days.

		Teaspoon says, "well, called that"
Teaspoon says (to Floyd), "loo" 		

Floyd | Every day starts with a nightmare these days.

Floyd |
Floyd | Hello Charlotte,
Floyd |
Floyd | Our instruments picked up some anomalies in the base this morning,
Floyd | and
Floyd | the procedure is that we must inform you about them.
Floyd | [interesting...]
Floyd |
Floyd | Those measurements are ones produced by sensors placed in the room
Floyd | where
Floyd | beds for the crew were set up. Our previous measurements indicate that
Floyd | you haven't been using this room for sleeping for a few weeks, but we
Floyd | still measured important traces of organic life, most notably heat and
Floyd | some breathing.
Floyd | [huh?]
Floyd |
Floyd | You must have been sleeping in that room last night and of course
Floyd | [i would never have done that!]
Floyd | it is totally fine, but the procedure is such that we have to inform
Floyd | you
Floyd | of any activity that's out of the ordinary. The other explanation,
Floyd | which is admittedly a bit more worrying, is that you were subject to a
Floyd | temporary sleepwalking episode during the night, which is possible.
Floyd | [sleepwalking? what next?]
Floyd | If this is the case, we ask you to inform your referring
Floyd | psychiatrist, Dr Peters.
Floyd | [oh god]
Floyd |
Floyd | Have a nice day,
Floyd | [the third explanation the third explanation]

Floyd |
Floyd | Hello Charlotte,
Floyd |
Floyd | We got a problem: Bob seems stuck in the crew quarters!
Floyd | [what?! how is that even possible?]
Floyd |
Floyd | The central computer tried to fix him, even rebooting him, but it
Floyd | didn't work. We even tried to take over manually, but we don't know
Floyd | why
Floyd | he's responding but not moving, no matter what we try.
Floyd |
Floyd | It's really weird!! So, rather than sending Bill to the rescue and
Floyd | maybe
Floyd | cause him to get stuck because of the same thing (but what could it
Floyd | be?!)     [but those robots are indestructible, they're not
Floyd | supposed to be stuck, ever!]
Floyd | we'd like you to go check it out. To see if it's something in the
Floyd | room,
Floyd | or if it's a software or hardware bug. Let us know what you can find,
Floyd | and
Floyd | if you can't see anything unusual we'll have to try to trace the bug
Floyd | in
Floyd | the code and update both of them.
Floyd |
Floyd | Let us know quickly please!! Thanks!!
Floyd | Tacker
Floyd | [that can't be? what the hell is this, shit!]
Floyd | [they never break down, those robots never have any kind of
Floyd | problem]
Floyd |                                          [unless something
Floyd | attacked him]
Floyd | [well shit, they can trudge along on the surface of mars, a stupid
Floyd | rug is not gonna...]
Floyd |                                          [it's something
Floyd | else]
Floyd | [all that is not exactly reassuring...]
Floyd |                                          [what about the email
Floyd | from the diagnostic centre?]
Floyd | [fuck, i need to calk down right now]
Floyd |                                         [you're not alone you're

Floyd |
Floyd | Dear all,
Floyd |
Floyd | We are delighted to announce, as an exclusive preview, that Ares
Floyd | Space will be featured on the cover of Forbes Magazine's next issue,
Floyd | out
Floyd | tomorrow, and which headline will be "Space, the Next Frontier for
Floyd | [oh jesus, they don't have anything better to do than advertising
Floyd | whoever is parroting our press releases?]
Floyd | Growth".
Floyd |
Floyd | The magazine will feature a 16-page special report dedicated to
Floyd | companies involved in spatial exploration, describing advances and
Floyd | perspectives brought by this major technological breakthrough. But
Floyd | most importantly, the magazine dedicates three full pages to Ares
Floyd | [and more patting on the back...]
Floyd | Space, noting for instance that "the European public company was able
Floyd | to be ahead of the pack quickly and efficiently, making it a solid
Floyd | central actor for spatial exploration".

Floyd | Your computer's looping the same playlist, as always. You spend most

Floyd |
Floyd | To the north, a little alcove leads to the greenhouse door. The
Floyd | corridor leading to the rest of the base is south.
Floyd |
Floyd | Your stomach rumbles. You suddenly feel hungry as a wolf. You should

Floyd | Through the glass door on your right, you can see the base's

Floyd | There are a few weird vegetables and a couple of herbs valiantly
Floyd | attempting to survive in this cold and hostile Martian soil,
Floyd | constantly monitored by the central computer for optimal conditions.

Teaspoon says (to Floyd), "e"

Floyd |
Floyd | You open the door and enter the greenhouse.
Floyd | Martian greenhouse
Floyd | It's warm in here, almost too warm. The Martian soil is cold, harsh,
Floyd | and the plants that are trying to grow here need to always be humid
Floyd | enough, which is accomplished with the drip irrigation system,
Floyd | constantly monitored by the central computer. The handful of plants
Floyd | and the few vegetables you're supposed to eat try their best to
Floyd | survive under those conditions, far away from their natural ecosystem.
Floyd | They look weak and tired, almost depressed; you wonder if, despite all
Floyd | the computer's efforts, they will last for much longer. You can exit
Floyd | the greenhouse by going west.

Floyd | Corridor
Floyd | You've never liked this corridor -- more precisely, you've always felt
Floyd | a bit queasy when walking in it, and you don't really need that right
Floyd | now. It is small, rather narrow, and the neon that's supposed to light
Floyd | it is blinking a pallid light. You really don't have a good feeling
Floyd | about it. That's also why you moved your sleeping bag to the main room
Floyd | north, so you don't have to walk in this corridor every night to go to
Floyd | the quarters, which are located next to the deactivated door at the
Floyd | south end of the corridor.

Floyd | By the deactivated door
Floyd | On the other side of the door, it is pitch black, or almost. This is
Floyd | the remainder of the base, which circuits have been deactivated after
Floyd | the catastrophe. Resources are rare, we can't afford to leave you
Floyd | access the whole base, which was designed to be used by the four of
Floyd | you. We put everything you might need in one wing. Let us know if you
Floyd | need anything else, but you should be fine. The storeroom is next to
Floyd | the door, towards the east; westwards, a bit further around the
Floyd | corner, is the dorm where the crew was supposed to sleep, which is now
Floyd | empty, and the corridor runs north to the main room.
Floyd |

Floyd | quickly.

Floyd |

Floyd | Storeroom
Floyd | The storeroom is a small room, narrow but long, with metal shelves
Floyd | running along the walls, and the kitchen nook at the back -- a sparse
Floyd | one, with a sink and two electric burners. Of course, almost all the
Floyd | supplies were lost in the accident, and what remains here are the
Floyd | survival rations, so to speak. The shelves are thus almost all empty,
Floyd | apart from the two closest to the door, which are reasonably full;
Floyd | although most of it is that "space tofu", like everyone called it,
Floyd | even if there are other things like the sauces, your last shred of
Floyd | humanity. You can exit to the corridor by the deactivated door.
Floyd |
Floyd | You can see Bill here.

Teaspoon says (to Floyd), "get loaf" 		

Floyd | >
Floyd | > GET LOAF
Floyd |
Floyd | Appease the hunger once and for all, even if it means eating one of
Floyd | those disgusting loaves. You take one from the top of the shelf and
Floyd | start removing the wrapping.
Floyd |
Floyd | The loaf is almost small enough that it would fit whole in your mouth.
Floyd | Eurgh, why did you think about that -- now you're just picturing
Floyd | having your mouth completely filled with this thick and tasteless
Floyd | paste. You close your eyes and breathe, then eat one bite. Of course,
Floyd | it is tasteless; you take a pinch of salt and put it directly in your
Floyd | mouth: it's tolerable, but really not quite edible yet. Anyway, it
Floyd | never is. Had the payload not gone up in flames, you would have had
Floyd | all sorts of spices and herbs to plant, and even a few extra chemical
Floyd | aromas; but right now, with nothing of the kind, it's just unbearable.
Floyd |
Floyd | After ten minutes of that disgusting sensation in your mouth, you
Floyd | painstakingly finish the loaf. You feel satiated, except that you feel
Floyd | like throwing up. Eating here is a struggle, a difficult and really
Floyd | not a gratifying one. No wonder you feel depressed, and you're sure
Floyd | that a plate of beef bourguignon would heal you in a heartbeat. Five
Floyd | months before taste comes back...

Floyd |
Floyd | You go back towards the deactivated door, which is half shrouded in
Floyd | darkness; you feel knots in your stomach, tied there by a feeling of
Floyd | foreboding. You're filled with fear, without exactly knowing why.
Floyd | By the deactivated door
Floyd | Is it darker here than it was moments ago? Oddly, it does seem so. You
Floyd | don't feel very safe anymore all of a sudden; it's like everything was
Floyd | darker, the darkness thickening, growing more menacing from behind the
Floyd | door, like your reflection was blurrier. You close your eyes for a few
Floyd | seconds, but when you open them, it's the same thing, and your heart
Floyd | is racing even more. Maybe the fear of going towards the quarters to
Floyd | the west.

Floyd | towards the...

Floyd | A little flash of light to your left, in your peripheral vision.
Floyd | Behind the door. At least you think? You turn and face the door,

Teaspoon says (to Floyd), "w" 		

Floyd | slowly. It can't be, still, must be a...
Floyd |
Floyd | NO you weren't mistaken you jump out and run as far as you can from
Floyd | this darkness but you end up in front of the quarters and they're in
Floyd | darkness too -- breathe, breathe goddamnit, calm down calm down.
Floyd | By Crew Quarters
Floyd | You can only gasp for air, which is burning your lungs; your head is
Floyd | spinning, your vision is blurring, your stomach is in a knot. Pure
Floyd | terror runs in your veins. Is there something, someone there?
Floyd | Impossible, impossible you tell yourself. But then why do you have
Floyd | this feeling of being watched, surrounded by a sinister shadow? You
Floyd | try to calm yourself by staring at the small light that's blinking in
Floyd | the dark room north; it's Bob, and he needs you.
Floyd |

Teaspoon says (to Floyd), "n" 		

Floyd | >
Floyd | > N
Floyd |
Floyd | One last scream filled with rage, pain, fear. Come you, you have to
Floyd | come in now!
Floyd |
Floyd | You step forward slowly, shaking, your teeth clenched and your jaw as
Floyd | tense as it's ever been. You force yourself to relax it, you breathe
Floyd | through the mouth heavily but slowly. Singing, right, that would help.
Floyd | Singing anything, something rythmic, something catchy. You hum with a
Floyd | frail voice as you keep moving forward.
Floyd |
Floyd | One step into darkness -- that's good -- it'll be okay, don't focus on
Floyd | it, it's just a dark room -- two steps -- everything's okay -- fuck
Floyd | i'm entirely in darkness -- it's okay it's okay -- focus on something
Floyd | else
Floyd |
Floyd | Everything's fine. You take one more step, then another one, and
Floyd | nothing happens. Behind you, the light from the corridor makes you
Floyd | feel safer. You're not too far from Bob. It's almost over. A few more
Floyd | steps...

		Jacqueline says, "We also got ao very nice note from Steph Cherrywell (her transcripts of Chlorophyll and Brain Guzzlers were part of The Big Update):"

ClubFloyd Transcript:
Zork I by Marc Blank and Dave Lebling
Zork: A Troll's-Eye View by Dylan O'Donnell
As played on ifMUD on April 3 & 10, 2016

The idea behind ClubFloyd is that each week at a pre-arranged time, a group of people meet online to cooperatively play a game of interactive fiction.

Below is a transcript of Zork I written by Marc Blank and Dave Lebling, and Zork: A Troll's-Eye View written by Dylan O'Donnell. Zork I was released by Infocom in 1980; it ranked 22nd and 41st in the 2011 and 2015 editions of the Interactive Fiction Top 50 of All Time, respectively. Zork: A Troll's-Eye View is a short, fun game inspired by Zork I that was released in 1998. You can learn more about the games, including how to download them, by visiting the IFDB pages: Zork I and Zork: A Troll's-Eye View.

WARNING! Below you will find a transcript of people playing these games, and it goes without saying that the transcript is full of spoilers. So, if you've never played these games, and think you might like to at some point, I do not recommend reading any further. Instead, you might want to return to the interactive fiction page.

#ClubFloyd Discussion
		

		Jacqueline says, "So, last night I found my Infocom CDs. Masterpieces, SciFi, and Fantasy collection"
		zarf says, "hey, cool"
		Teaspoon says, "sweet"
		zarf says, "I have like three copies of Masterpieces but I never had the 'genre' collections"
		Jacqueline says, "So if we're up for something long again, there's that."
		DavidW says, "I should mention I've recently played Spellbreaker inside and out."
		Jacqueline says, "I have, honestly, never gotten past a certain point in Hitchhiker's."
		kpaquette says (to jacqueline), "Good thing I'm running out of games to play."
		Teaspoon says, "I am possiblly too familiar with Hitchhiker's to play it, but it'd be fun watching."
		Jacqueline says, "Oh, I'm open to whatever."
Draconis says, "I'm also open to anything. I've played the Zork/Enchanter series a lot but none of the others as much." 		Jacqueline says, "Honestly, a game where *I* just watched might be good. After CF I have kind of a taxing day ahead."
Draconis says, "Er" 		Draconis says, "I'm also open to anything. I've played the Zork/Enchanter series a lot but none of the others as much."
		Draconis says, "There we go"
		Teaspoon says, "I've never actually finished Zork"
		Jacqueline says, "I would freakin' love it if we played Zork, actually."
		Jacqueline says, "That would cheer me up considerably."
		DavidW says, "hm. I recently replayed "Yes, Another Game with a Dragon!""
		DavidW asks, "Zork or Zork I?"
		Jacqueline says (to DW), "I thought it was 'Yet Another Game with a Dragon'. huh"
		Teaspoon asks, "was it good?"
		DavidW says (to Jacqueline), "I thought so too."
		Jacqueline says, "I've been calling it the wrong thing all this time."
		DavidW says, "YAGWAD is good, yes."
		kpaquette says, "I am a little bit too familiar with zork. I got to where the balloon takes off and then couldn't get any further."
		DavidW says, "You're mostly exploring the forest rather than caves in YAGWAD."
		Teaspoon says, "I managed to get into the cave and found some treasures, but didn't get too far."
		Jacqueline says, "hahaha - so I was being lazy, trying to find a list of what's on the Masterpieces CD without spinning around in my chair and finding the disc. I did a Google search. The top site is called Where to buy Infocom games and has a description 'Information on where Infocom games are available, especially the Masterpieces collection.' I clicked on it. It's a very long page with a lot of text but the answer to the question they pose could be summed up in one word: eBay."
Draconis says, "If Jacq likes Zork that would be cool" 		Jacqueline says, "I do like Zork. And I like people who speak on channel."
		Jacqueline laughs. "Sorry, Draconis, I couldn't resist."
		Jacqueline says, "Okay, let me load that up. One sec."
Draconis says, "Gah" 		Draconis says, "If Jacq likes Zork that would be cool"
		Draconis says, "There we go"
		Draconis says, "Just a moment, going to switch back to my usual client >>"
DavidW says (to Floyd), "list z" 		
Floyd says (to DavidW), "zazie zball zdungeon zebulon zero zfiles zilcloak zokoban zombie zombieexodus zombies zork1 zork2 zork3 zorkainstories1 zugzwang" 		Teaspoon exclaims, "woo!"
DavidW says, "zorks 1 to 3 are already on Floyd." 		DavidW says, "zorks 1 to 3 are already on Floyd."
		DavidW says, "And I think zdungeon is the full Zork."
		Jacqueline says, "Oh, of course they're already on Floyd."
Teaspoon says (to Floyd), "load sleepmask zork1"

Floyd | Studio
Floyd | This appears to have been an artist's studio. The walls and floors are
Floyd | splattered with paints of 69 different colors. Strangely enough,
Floyd | nothing of value is hanging here. At the south end of the room is an
Floyd | open door (also covered with paint). A dark and narrow chimney leads
Floyd | up from a fireplace; although you might be able to get up it, it seems
Floyd | unlikely you could get back down.

		Jacqueline | Go down the chimney from the Kitchen.
		Jacqueline | Give various things to the troll, especially the nasty knife from the Attic.
		Jacqueline | Knock the troll unconscious (save a game so you can retry the battle until you accomplish this) and take his axe, then return it to him after he wakes up.
		Jacqueline | Say hello to, listen to, and take the troll and Cyclops.
		Jacqueline | Damage the painting (for example, by cutting or burning it).
		Jacqueline | Read the matchbook.
		Jacqueline | Read the black book at the Altar.
		Jacqueline | Light the candles with the torch.
		Jacqueline | Burn the black book.
		Jacqueline | Try something naughty with the bodies in Hades.
		Jacqueline | Continue digging in the sand after you find the scarab. (save first)
		Jacqueline | Wave the sceptre while standing on the rainbow. (save first)
		Jacqueline | Enter the Gas Room with an open flame, such as the torch or candles.
		Jacqueline | Swear at Zork.
		Jacqueline | Cut something with the knife or sword.
		Jacqueline | Light something on fire (such as the pile of leaves), then pour water on it from the bottle.
		Jacqueline | Get killed after praying at the altar, then wait or score while a spirit.
		Jacqueline | Walk around the house or in the forest.
		Jacqueline | Try these commands: Zork; xyzzy or plugh; chomp; win; lose; mumble or sigh; repent; yell or scream; bite myself; take myself; find, count, listen to, what is, and smell various things (house, hands, teeth, myself, candles, leaves, matches…).
		Teaspoon says, "It seemed to work all right but I'd abandoned the sword by then."
		Jacqueline says, "You did quite a few of those."

Time to clock off and meet up with the Thief and your foreman the Cyclops; you were just starting to get the hang of this game "poker" last night.

ClubFloyd Transcript:
Harmonic Time-Bind Ritual Symphony by Ben Kidwell and Maevele Straw
As played on ifMUD on April 17, 2016

The idea behind ClubFloyd is that each week at a pre-arranged time, a group of people meet online to cooperatively play a game of interactive fiction.

Below is a transcript of Harmonic Time-Bind Ritual Symphony written by Ben Kidwell and Maevele Straw. It was released as part of the 2016 Spring Thing, Main Festival. You can learn more about the game, including how to download it, by visiting IFDB.

WARNING! Below you will find a transcript of people playing this game, and it goes without saying that the transcript is full of spoilers. So, if you've never played this game, and think you might like to at some point, I do not recommend reading any further. Instead, you might want to return to the interactive fiction page.

Teaspoon says, "So I'm upright and feeling better, but not sure I'm up for tackling Zork II single-handed." 		
Teaspoon says, "That may have to wait for next week, alas." 		
Jacqueline says, "Yeah, no worries. We may resume that in a few weeks, actually, because there's some timely stuff happening." 		
Teaspoon asks, "Spring Thing?" 		
Jacqueline says, "Spring Thing and Xyzzies, yeah" 		
Teaspoon exclaims, "Ooh!" 		
DavidW arrives, full of fun, but no funk. 		Jacqueline asks (of DW), "I don't suppose you uploaded stuff during your research?"
		Jacqueline says, "And that I should possibly be doing that right now."
		DavidW asks, "Research? Was I given homework?"
		Jacqueline says, "No. This was research you appeared to be doing on your own."
		Jacqueline says, "Regarding which games were Floydable."
		Jacqueline says, "So I'm going to take that 'Wha? Who? Me?' as a no."
		DavidW says, "no, I didn't upload anything. I'm in double-slowdown mode."
		Jacqueline says, "So there are five Floydables, only two of which are in the main festival."
		Jacqueline says, "oHO"
		Jacqueline says, "One of these... is by Andrew Schultz."
		Teaspoon says, "I playtested it..."
		DavidW says, "I've put a couple dents in it."
		ASchultz says, "I have a few user friendliness things to send to Aaron Reed, so yeah, I have to admit I'm more interested in other games"
		ASchultz says, "Also if you all delay it I'm more likely to come back next week, and I like having that motivation to show up more often"
		Jacqueline says, "Okay."
		Jacqueline says, "Good to know."
		Jacqueline says, "I've also just re-reviewed the rules and it seems totes cool that we play and discuss these games, even the ones from the Main Festival, whilst the Festival in underway."
		Jacqueline says, "One sec, going to open the livingroom curtains. There appear to be many birds singing."
		Jacqueline says, "Back."
		Jacqueline asks, "So, should we play from the Main Festival, then?"
		ASchultz says, "I'm up for that, sure"
Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "load harmonic"

Floyd | The full moon amidst clouds spills milky brightness everywhere. Summer

Floyd | standing on tip-toe, looking over the edge of the rooftops and
Floyd | treebranches. 'Oh! I can tell it's started,' she says. You stand up and
Floyd | walk across the porch, slipping your arm around her as you turn to
Floyd | watch the sky. What had been a low full circle wreathed by clouds is
Floyd | higher now and shinining clearly, but no longer full - darkness is
Floyd | creeping across the surface as the Moon swings into Earth's shadow. You
Floyd | peer upwards together, savoring the moment. The night air is sweet and

Floyd | After working obsessively since the New Year, you are finally ready to

Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "x bookshelves" 		

Floyd | As you look at your bookshelves, you notice an embarassing book called
Floyd | 4CY UNI R2B 1 that you wrote a decade earlier, and an odd urge compels
Floyd | you to put it in your pocket.
Floyd |
Floyd | You have been reading books and collecting a personal library for your
Floyd | whole life, and have recently inherited your father's collection as
Floyd | well. There is a loose topical organization, with one bookshelf devoted
Floyd | to math and science, one to music theory and history, one to fiction,
Floyd | and one to oddities. You can just >x shelves repeatedly to revisit some

Teaspoon says (to Floyd), "x shelves" 		

Floyd | You pick up 'The Moon is a Harsh Mistress' by Robert Heinlein. It tells
Floyd | the story of a future in which the moon is a penal colony. An
Floyd | administrative supercomputer there acquires sentience, and becomes the
Floyd | leader of a revolution against Lunar Authority. The Loonies, as they
Floyd | call themselves, are multicultural free-love techno-anarchists. Years

Floyd | you chose the name 'mycroftiv' as a reference to the intelligent
Floyd | computer in the novel.
Floyd |

Floyd | You pick up 'VALIS' by Philip K. Dick. It tells the story of a
Floyd | science-fiction author who is contacted by a beam of divine pink light
Floyd | and begins to experience multiple simultaneous identities and temporal
Floyd | locations. The pink light comes from the VALIS satellite, a benign
Floyd | godlike intelligence which helped guide immortal teacher-prophets on

		ASchultz asks, "I'm up for cycling through all the books, anyone else?"
Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "x bookshelves" 		

Floyd | You pick up 'Cosmic Trigger' by Robert Anton Wilson. It tells many
Floyd | stories to emphasize that what we call reality is actually a
Floyd | collectively-agreed upon fiction, and there is no single objective
Floyd | reality shared by all observers. It ends with the story of an Iowa
Floyd | farmer who was given 'pancakes from space' by visiting aliens.

Teaspoon says (to Floyd), "x shelves" 		

Floyd | You pick up 'Lost Goddesses of Early Greece' by Charlene Spretnak. It
Floyd | tells the story of pre-Homeric myths including 'The Triad of the Moon'
Floyd | which describes rituals for Artemis, Selene, and Hecate. There is a
Floyd | place outside the city limits that is appropriate for the ritual for
Floyd | Hecate, which involves eating while facing away from a crossroads and
Floyd | leaving some of the food as an offering.
Floyd |

		Jacqueline says, "No, just the one we had the urge to pick up."
		Teaspoon says, "which is probably hard-coded"
Teaspoon says (to Floyd), "g" 		

Floyd | You pick up 'Moon Palace' by Paul Auster. It tells the story of a
Floyd | fatherless young man whose life is interwoven with coincidences
Floyd | involving the moon. Attending college in the late 60s, he voluntarily
Floyd | embraces poverty and madness and finally homelessness until a chance
Floyd | meeting with a stranger leads to a redemptive love affair. He gets a
Floyd | job caring for a mysterious old man on the verge of death, who tells
Floyd | him a fantastic story of a career as a painter who created a series of
Floyd | lost artistic masterpieces while living in a cave in the deserts of the
Floyd | southwest US.

		DavidW says, "I didn't click the link."
Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "x shelves" 		

Floyd | You pick up 'Labyrinths' by Jorge Luis Borges. Many of the stories are
Floyd | set in fantastic universes which illuminate something important in our
Floyd | world: the power of language and naming, the branching stories created
Floyd | by free will and randomness, the author of dreams who is also a
Floyd | dream-image.

		Jacqueline says, "Then again, I guess VALIS didn't either."
		Jacqueline says, "Or Cosmic Trigger. Ignore me."
Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "x shelves" 		

Floyd | You pixk up 'Time Pressure' by Spider Robinson. It tells the story of
Floyd | time travellers from the future who infiltrate a group of Canadian
Floyd | hippies living commmunally as part of a conspiracy to record humanity's
Floyd | life experiences to allow everyone to live forever in a future
Floyd | digitally augmented reality.
Floyd |

		Jacqueline says, "That book sounds awesome."

		Teaspoon says, "I thought that Valis *was* a moon."
		Jacqueline says, "Oh, is it? I've avoided Philip K Dick."
		Teaspoon says, "Although yeah, we do seem to be shifting from "moon" to "multiple-choice reality""
		Teaspoon says, "(I don't know - I've read some Dick, but not that one.)"

		ASchultz says, "that link got me to click "geography now" and I'm watching something about the Republic of Congo which is distracting me"

Floyd |
Floyd | Midnight strikes and a new day dawns.
Floyd | (This is day number 1)
Floyd | You announce ANTS by posting an imaginary scene from Plan 9 from Outer
Floyd | Space to the 9fans mailing list. It is the one-year anniversary of your
Floyd | father's death. He was a law professor, and he never understood your
Floyd | values. You search for information on related Plan 9 projects and find
Floyd | a recent patent on a familiar concept. Years earlier, you wrote a free
Floyd | software 9p persistent-pipe muxer. The patent the Joint Consolidated
Floyd | Networking corporation was granted is for 9p persistent pipe-muxing.
Floyd |
Floyd | You feel an internal change, as if a valve has broken and a
Floyd | high-pressure jet of intense emotion and information is entering your
Floyd | mind at right angles to reality. You spent endless hours talking with
Floyd | your father, and you know how he thought. He never agreed with your
Floyd | anti-authoritarian radicalism, but seeing this patent would have
Floyd | changed that - you can feel it. Your mind has become a virtual machine,
Floyd | running the computer program of your father's soul in parallel with
Floyd | your own.

Teaspoon says (to Floyd), "d" 		

Floyd |
Floyd | Your house, in the basement
Floyd | Your ex-girlfriend used to stay down here, but now the area is mostly
Floyd | storage...and your grid hardware. In the center of the dark concrete
Floyd | floor is a flimsy table with numerous aging computers both under it and
Floyd | on top. A tangle of ethernet and power cables criss-cross the room like
Floyd | spiderwebs.
Floyd |
Floyd | Your cat Strawberry is here.
Floyd |
Floyd | Strawberry looks at you with mild curiosity.
Floyd |

		Teaspoon exclaims, "so, no grue. But a cat!"
Teaspoon says (to Floyd), "take cat" 		

Floyd | Strawberry lets you hold her for about fifteen seconds before squirming
Floyd | free of your grasp, climbing your shoulder with help from sharp tiny
Floyd | claws, and hops to the floor behind you.
Floyd |
Floyd | >

		
Teaspoon says (to Floyd), "pet cat" 		

Floyd | Strawberry begins to purr as you stroke her, but after a few seconds,
Floyd | she decides that she is a fighter, not a lover. She bats at your hand
Floyd | with a paw, and looks up at you expecantly, hoping you will attack her.
Floyd |

Teaspoon says (to Floyd), "x computers" 		

Floyd | The physical hardware of your grid is cheap and worn. A mixture of
Floyd | no-name hardware and old dell minitowers, the processor speed, RAM, and
Floyd | storage space is all well below the current standard. The software is a
Floyd | different story - your Advanced Namespace Tools weave the physical
Floyd | boxes together into a coordinated whole. Sometimes you feel like the

Floyd | You start with a bit of Mozart's Marriage of Figaro, move on to a few

Floyd |
Floyd | Outside your house
Floyd | Your section of Milwaukee Street is directly across from a small farm
Floyd | which remains as an agricultural island within the city. An open field
Floyd | and a barn are across the street. Toward the southwest is Atwood Street

		DavidW says, "Wasn't quite expecting that, but the elaborate response to 'sing' inspired me."

Floyd | The farm across the street is one of the main reasons you chose to move

Floyd |
Floyd | Monona Drive and Cottage Grove Road

Teaspoon says (to Floyd), "e" 		

Floyd | Your local cafe has been your comfort for the past several years. Days
Floyd | and sometimes whole weeks used to go by where the only people you saw
Floyd | were the employees here. You always felt accepted, despite your
Floyd | disheveled appearance and stumbling arthritic gait. It has been several
Floyd | months since you have visited, because you feel embarassed of a mild
Floyd | foolish crush on one of the young baristas.
Floyd |
Floyd | She is working today, of course. You feel an unfamiliar fearless energy
Floyd | within yourself. As you order your coffee, you hear yourself say 'It's
Floyd | nice to see you, I haven't been in lately because I feel self-conscious
Floyd | about thinking you're cute.'
Floyd |
Floyd | Miraculously, she smiles warmly at you. 'That's ok, thank you. It's
Floyd | fine to be honest about what you feel.' A giddy, tingling sensation
Floyd | races through you, but your voice answers fluently. 'Thanks, that means
Floyd | a lot to hear someone say. I've been pretty isolated with a computer
Floyd | programming project lately, and it's felt hard to communicate with
Floyd | people. Sometimes I feel like a machine.' She replies, 'Well, there are
Floyd | a lot more people on your level than you realize. My name is Xochi, by
Floyd | the way. Also, I might be a robot myself!'
Floyd |
Floyd | You both laugh, you introduce yourself, and you walk out of the cafe
Floyd | higher than a kite aloft in the skies of Jupiter. Not only had your
Floyd | impulsive flirtation (quite outside your usual character) gone well,
Floyd | but she was smart and funny too. You return home feeling reality has
Floyd | been magically transformed for the better and you have been freed of
Floyd | your insecurities and fears. No more inhibition of your wild and
Floyd | eccentric impulses. You will use the story of your patent dispute with
Floyd | the JCN corporation to inspire others to join together in a glorious
Floyd | struggle to free the human spirit from everything that limits our
Floyd | creativity.

Floyd | You accept, and the cards arrange themselves in a dramatic tableaux
Floyd | featuring The Tower and The Devil. Your friend looks at you seriously
Floyd | and says 'Fear obsession. Fear obsession very strongly.' You realize
Floyd | that in pursuit of your Plan 9 programming goals, you have neglected
Floyd | other things you care about, like people - and music. You head back

DavidW says (to Floyd), "attack strawberry" 		

Floyd | Strawberry is a battle-hardened combat kitty and springs into action.
Floyd | She grabs your hand with both paws, and nips lightly at your knuckles
Floyd | with her teeth. You pull your hand back, and she leaps up to chase it,
Floyd | sinking her claws into your knee. You fight back with a quick
Floyd | belly-tickle and she rolls onto her back, ready to deploy the full
Floyd | power of her back legs. You are beaten yet again. You have never

Floyd | The farm across the street is one of the main reasons you chose to move

Floyd | outfit. She smiles slightly. 'Just something I enjoy doing to amuse
Floyd | myself.' As you drink your coffee, you contemplate the meaning of her

Floyd | symbols from fiction and applying them to herself. It reminds you of
Floyd | namespace operations in Plan 9, but with symbols and stories binding to
Floyd | real-life people as the targets. In fact, the mingling of imagination
Floyd | and reality seems to explain a lot of what you are experiencing. Since
Floyd | you took on the name of a fictional character for your computer work

Floyd | Harmonic Time-Bind Ritual Symphony is a game based on my spring and
Floyd | summer during 2013. During that time, I was able to experience my life
Floyd | as a work of interactive fiction created by a brilliant author. I felt
Floyd | that the nature of the quantum multiverse meant that it was true that I
Floyd | was a character in novels and songs and videogames in other universes,
Floyd | and I played my role to the hilt. I believed my manic madness was a
Floyd | gift which I could use for artistic creativity, and that my racing mind
Floyd | was fully up to solving the puzzles that the designer of my reality had
Floyd | laid out for me. It was the most glorious experience imaginable, and by
Floyd | the middle of the summer I felt like I was becoming a kind of Ultima
Floyd | IV-style Avatar of multiversal artistic consciousness and with just a
Floyd | little more spiritual insight and creative freedom, I'd be able to
Floyd | unlock the Vishnu-path Extra Arms upgrade for my character, which I
Floyd | might need in case the tentacle in the lake that was a whisker of
Floyd | Cthulhu's Moustache attacked.
Floyd |
Floyd | This game was created to share the wild, unbounded joy I felt in those
Floyd | months. Thanks to everyone who was a part of my life during that time,
Floyd | and thank you for playing this work of Interactive Fiction. Read >help

Floyd | Astral Enchantments
Floyd | This store buzzes with mystic energies. Complex artworks with twisting
Floyd | lines interweaving runic symbols adorn the walls. A glass display case
Floyd | of crystals, jewelry, and small sculptures is against the far wall.
Floyd | Bins of polished minerals are in the center, along with sage and

Floyd | featuring Grateful Dead iconography, water pipes and rolling papers,

Floyd |
Floyd | You can't believe you hadn't noticed this store before, it must be new

Floyd | literally true, and you have ascended into a dimension with retail
Floyd | stores more attuned to your sensibilities. There is a tall man standing

DavidW says (to Floyd), "x prints" 		

Floyd | Each of these three prints shows a modern incarnation of Artemis the
