Below is a transcript of two games: Attack of the Yeti Robot Zombies, written by Øyvind Thorsby, and Fail-Safe, written by Jon Ingold.Attack of the Yeti Robot Zombies was originally released in 2006, and was a Xyzzy Awards finalist for the Best Use of Medium. You can learn more about AotRYZ, including how to download it, by visiting Baf's Guide, and you can skip stright to the transcript of this game by clicking here.Fail-Safe was originally released in 2000, and was also a Xyzzy Awards finalist, but for the Best Individual NPC. You can learn more about Fail-Safe, including how to download it, by visiting Baf's Guide, and you can skip straight to the transcript of this game by clicking here. 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. |

| Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "load aotyrz" | ||||
Floyd | Welcome to the Cheap Glk Implementation, library version 0.9.0. Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Attack of the Yeti Robot Zombies Floyd | This is a try-to-win-on-the-first-attempt game. The point of the game Floyd | is to try to win on the first attempt. Or, failing that, to win in as Floyd | few attempts as possible. You are not supposed to use "undo" or Floyd | "restore" if things are going badly. (Though it is OK to use "save" Floyd | and then later "restore" if you have to leave the game for a while. Floyd | And it is OK to save the game as often as you like.) Floyd | Get it? Yes or no? Floyd | | ||||
| vimes says, "obvious answer is 'no', of course" | ||||
| DavidW says, "I think we need a designated driver for this game." | ||||
| ParserGirl says, "You can have my undo when you pry it from my poor squashed fingers." | ||||
| Jacqueline says, "Well, I could say no, sure." | ||||
| Jacqueline says, "PG likes to drive the Floydbus." | ||||
| Jacqueline asks, "PG?" | ||||
| ParserGirl says, "I do - I got a bit roughed up at work again but I'll do my best." | ||||
| Jacqueline asks, "Oh, you mean you're possibly distracted and someone else should drive, or ... ?" | ||||
| ParserGirl flexes her joints. | ||||
| Jacqueline says, "Tell it we don't understand, I say." | ||||
| ParserGirl says, "I'm good for now but if I want someone else to take over later you'll know why." | ||||
| ParserGirl says (to Floyd), "say no" | ||||
Floyd | Please answer yes or no.> | ||||
| ParserGirl says (to Floyd), "no" | ||||
Floyd | Floyd | Ok, I will give an example. Say you are playing a game where you start Floyd | in a burning building. If this were a normal game maybe you would want Floyd | to search the building. Maybe you would find things. If you died you Floyd | could just restart. But if you where playing a Floyd | try-to-win-on-the-first-attempt game, you would probably want to run Floyd | out, otherwise you might burn and die and then you would probably not Floyd | win on the first attempt. Floyd | Now do you understand? Yes or no? Floyd | | Jacqueline says, "ha" | |||
| Jacqueline says, "No." | ||||
| ParserGirl says (to Floyd), "no" | ||||
Floyd | Floyd | Well I give up. Just play the game. Floyd | Floyd | Norway 1994. The country is overrun by yeti robot zombies! Death tolls Floyd | are high. The cities are particularly strongly infested, and many Floyd | people have fled to more desolate places. You too have escaped from a Floyd | city, and have traveled to your cabin in Jotunheimen. Floyd | Floyd | If you are unfamiliar with interactive fiction, type HELP. Floyd | Those who care can type CREDITS. Floyd | Examine, look at, look inside, look under, look behind, look Floyd | <direction> and search have not been implemented. You can still use Floyd | look, inventory and read. Floyd | No time passes when you use "look" or "inventory". Floyd | You communicate by "talk to [whatever]". Floyd | Should you wish to re-read the above information during the game, type Floyd | ABOUT. Floyd | Floyd | Release 0 / Serial number 060825 / Inform v6.30 Library 6/11 S Floyd | Floyd | Outside your cabin Floyd | High up in Jotunheimen, on a path going west (where you came from) and Floyd | east. To the north of you is your cabin, to the south a long drop. Floyd | Behind your cabin is a steep tall mountain wall. The door to your Floyd | cabin is gone. Bullet holes show it has been shot away. It must have Floyd | been done by humans; yeti robot zombies don't carry guns. Floyd | Floyd | > | ParserGirl says, "hahaha" | |||
| Jacqueline giggles. | ||||
| vimes says, "hee hee" | ||||
| ParserGirl says (to Floyd), "help" | ||||
Floyd | In interactive fiction games you type in commands to make your Floyd | character do what you want. Commands can be things like: Floyd | jump Floyd | get sledgehammer Floyd | get sledgehammer and banana Floyd | get all Floyd | drop everything except sledgehammer Floyd | put sledgehammer in box Floyd | put sledgehammer on table Floyd | get all from table Floyd | hit banana with sledgehammer Floyd | give banana to bob Floyd | throw banana at bob Floyd | eat banana Floyd | kill bob Floyd | buy banana Floyd | read sign Floyd | open door Floyd | close door Floyd | unlock door with key Floyd | lock door with key Floyd | push rock Floyd | push rock north Floyd | pull rope Floyd | enter car Floyd | leave car Floyd | wear hat Floyd | remove hat Floyd | touch hat Floyd | sit on chair Floyd | stand Floyd | Floyd | You should try to type your commands as simply as possible. Don't Floyd | type: I sure would like to pick up that nice looking piece of fruit Floyd | that I see lying here before me. The game won't understand that. Type Floyd | instead: get fruit. Floyd | Floyd | If you want to have a look around, type: look. Or simply: l. Floyd | Floyd | If you want to have a look at what things you are carrying, type: Floyd | inventory. Or simply: i. Floyd | Floyd | If you want to talk to another character, for instance Bob, type: talk Floyd | to bob. Or simply: talk bob. Or simply: t bob. Floyd | Floyd | To move around, type in the direction you wish to go. To go north for Floyd | instance, type: north. Or simply: n. Most games uses the directions Floyd | north, south, east, west, northeast, northwest, southeast, southwest, Floyd | up and down. Some games also use in and out. Floyd | Floyd | If you wish to wait for a short while, type: wait. Or simply: z. Floyd | Floyd | There are some special commands. If you have done something stupid, Floyd | that you whish hadn't, you can type: undo. Other special commands are: Floyd | save, restore, restart and quit. Floyd | Floyd | (In most games examine (x for short) and search are very important Floyd | commands. But they don't exist in this game.) Floyd | Floyd | Most games have a few commands that you have to figure out for Floyd | yourself. Floyd | Floyd | > | ParserGirl says, "oh my" | |||

Floyd | Floyd | Outside your cabin Floyd | High up in Jotunheimen, on a path going west (where you came from) and Floyd | east. To the north of you is your cabin, to the south a long drop. Floyd | Behind your cabin is a steep tall mountain wall. The door to your Floyd | cabin is gone. Bullet holes show it has been shot away. It must have Floyd | been done by humans; yeti robot zombies don't carry guns. Floyd | Floyd | > | ParserGirl says, "They don't carry guns . . . YET." | |||
| ParserGirl says (to Floyd), "x me" | ||||
Floyd | In this game examine, look at, look in, look under, look behind and Floyd | search have not been implemented. You can still use look, inventory Floyd | and read. Floyd | Floyd | > | DavidW says, "Inventory or go in." | |||
| ParserGirl says (to Floyd), "i" | ||||
Floyd | You have nothing. Floyd | Floyd | > | ParserGirl says, "NO EXAMINE" | |||
| ParserGirl says, "!" | ||||
| ParserGirl says (to Floyd), "n" | ||||
Floyd | Floyd | The living room of your cabin Floyd | It looks like some very heavy fighting has taken place here; all the Floyd | furniture has been smashed to bits. Your bedroom is west, the outside Floyd | south. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| ParserGirl says (to Floyd), "w" | ||||
Floyd | Floyd | The bedroom of your cabin Floyd | All the furniture has been smashed here too, except for the large Floyd | closet. It is open and empty. An extremely dead soldier lies all over Floyd | the floor. A cell phone and a plasma rifle lie here. They are not Floyd | yours. Maybe they belonged to the soldier. The only exit is east. Floyd | Floyd | > | DavidW says, "His other game also disabled examine." | |||
| Guest1 arrives, full of neither funk nor fun. | ||||
| ParserGirl says (to Floyd), "read soldier" | ||||
Floyd | It contains no writing. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| Guest1 says, "@joinc #clubfloyd" | Jacqueline says, "So, >I and >L don't make time pass, though." | |||
| ParserGirl says (to Floyd), "take cell phone and rifle" | ||||
Floyd | cell phone: Taken. Floyd | plasma rifle: You take the rifle. You notice it has 6 shots left. Floyd | Floyd | The cell phone rings. You answer it. "Hello?" you say. Floyd | "Private H?rland is that you?" says a voice. Floyd | "No, I'm afraid he is dead. I found him in my cabin, it looks like he Floyd | was torn apart by a yeti robot zombie." Floyd | "Fytti katta!" the voice curses. Floyd | "Who is this?" Floyd | "This is general Hansen." Floyd | "And why is there a dead man in my cabin?" Floyd | "He probably broke in to look for provisions. The yeti robot zombies Floyd | have attacked our bases and eaten all our food. And the army. Private Floyd | H?rland and me were the last ones left. And I can't fight much. My Floyd | arms and legs have just been eaten. I barely managed to bite through Floyd | the throat of the yeti robot zombie who attacked me. Then I dialed the Floyd | phone with my nose." Floyd | "Then... we have lost?" you say. Floyd | "Maybe not. I have found out who the evil boss is that is behind all Floyd | the yeti robot zombies. His headquarters are in Drammen." Floyd | "Great. But who can stop him?" Floyd | "It will have to be you." Floyd | "Me? But I can't." you say. Floyd | "You have to. There is nobody else left. But don't worry; I will guide Floyd | you whilst slowly bleeding to death. First, do you have a gun?" Floyd | "Yeah I have a rifle. There are six shots left." Floyd | "That is is not enough. You are bound to encounter many yeti robot Floyd | zombies on your mission. You must try to find a way to get past them Floyd | without shooting them." Floyd | "But how? I can't fight them with my hands. And I certainly can't talk Floyd | to them." Floyd | "I know. You just have to think of something. Now listen up. There is Floyd | a cave east of your cabin. Go there. We have a small military base Floyd | hidden inside it." Floyd | "Very well." Floyd | Floyd | Just then you hear a Chewbaccaesque roar from the living room. There Floyd | is a yeti robot zombie in your cabin! It could walk into the bedroom Floyd | any minute now! Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| Jacqueline says (to Guest), "I'm afraid guests can't join channels. You'll need an account, but they're easy to get." | DavidW says, "Take phone. Take rifle. Heck, take all." | |||
| ParserGirl says, "woah" | ||||
| Jacqueline says, "I guess I could have whispered to the guest, sorry." | ||||
| ParserGirl says, "The phone rang." | ||||
| ParserGirl says, ""I will guide you whilst slowly bleeding to death"" | ||||
| DavidW says, "We must flee" | ||||
| ParserGirl says, "Negative points for misuse of "whilst"" | ||||
| Nitku says, "Disabling examine is a really good design choice imho. You don't want to stay and look around, just act." | ||||
| Guest1 goes home. | ||||
| ParserGirl says (to Floyd), "l" | ||||
Floyd | Floyd | The bedroom of your cabin Floyd | All the furniture has been smashed here too, except for the large Floyd | closet. It is open and empty. An extremely dead soldier lies all over Floyd | the floor. The only exit is east. Floyd | Floyd | > | ParserGirl says, "Well, we could hide in the closet." | |||
| DavidW asks, "or, can we take the soldier? Offer it to the zombie?" | ||||
| DavidW says, "Hiding is another option, sure." | ||||
| ParserGirl says, "Let's see" | ||||
| lemOnd arrives, full of fun, but no funk. | ||||
| ParserGirl says (to Floyd), "enter closet" | ||||
Floyd | You get into the closet. Floyd | Floyd | You hear the roar of a yeti robot zombie in the living room. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| ParserGirl says (to Floyd), "close door" | ||||
Floyd | You can't see any such thing. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| ParserGirl says (to Floyd), "close closet" | ||||
Floyd | You close the closet and wait. Not long after you can hear something Floyd | heavy walk into the room. You hold your breath. It sounds as if it is Floyd | kicking the remains of the furniture around. Then you hear the roar of Floyd | the yeti robot zombie. Then it hits the closet! The closet shakes. Floyd | Have you been discovered? But then you hear the monster leave. You Floyd | breathe out. You wait a while, then open the closet again. Floyd | Floyd | > | * lemOnd has joined the channel. | |||
| ParserGirl says, "Welcome!" | ||||
| ParserGirl says, "And hooray for Ellison's well timed @connect." | ||||
| ParserGirl says (to Floyd), "take soldier" | ||||
Floyd | Yuck! You don't want to move a corpse around! Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| ParserGirl says (to Floyd), "e" | ||||
Floyd | You'll have to get out of the closet first. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| ParserGirl says (to Floyd), "get out" | ||||
Floyd | You get out of the closet. Floyd | Floyd | > | Jacqueline says, "Welcome, lemOnd!" | |||
| ParserGirl says (to Floyd), "e" | ||||
Floyd | Floyd | The living room of your cabin Floyd | It looks like some very heavy fighting has taken place here; all the Floyd | furniture has been smashed to bits. Your bedroom is west, the outside Floyd | south. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||

| ParserGirl says (to Floyd), "s" | ||||
Floyd | Floyd | Outside your cabin Floyd | High up in Jotunheimen, on a path going west (where you came from) and Floyd | east. To the north of you is your cabin, to the south a long drop. Floyd | Behind your cabin is a steep tall mountain wall. The door to your Floyd | cabin is gone. Bullet holes show it has been shot away. It must have Floyd | been done by humans; yeti robot zombies don't carry guns. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| lemOnd says, "hello" | DavidW says, "Go east" | |||
| Ellison says, "hey all. lemme go check out what my connect is" | ||||
| ParserGirl says, "I guess our options are east and east." | ||||
| DavidW says, "The guy on the phone said east." | ||||
| Ellison says, "ah, yes, Fansy. go go good team!" | ||||
| ParserGirl says (to Floyd), "e" | ||||
Floyd | Floyd | Outside a cave Floyd | Just a couple of meters east of your cabin, and what do you know, Floyd | there is a cave here! You had no idea! You can enter it by going Floyd | north. To the south and east is a long drop. Floyd | Floyd | > | Jacqueline says (to lemOnd), "To speak on the channel, preface your words with #clubfloyd the first time. After you've designated which channel, you can just say ;WHATEVER (the semi-colon will indicate you want to talk on the channel rather than in the room)." | |||
| ParserGirl says, "We had no idea!" | ||||
| ParserGirl says (to Floyd), "n" | ||||
Floyd | Floyd | A cave Floyd | Passages go northeast and northwest. South leads out. Floyd | Floyd | You speak into the cell phone. "Ok, I'm in the cave now." Floyd | "Good. The entrance to our base should not be hard to find. It will Floyd | however be locked. There is a soldier in the cave who has a ring of Floyd | keys. One of the keys fits the lock. The soldier is off course dead. Floyd | Torn apart by yeti robot zombies." Floyd | "Yikes! That means there could be yeti robot zombies in the cave right Floyd | now?" Floyd | "Yes." Floyd | Floyd | Just then you hear a yeti robot zombie roar from the northeast. It Floyd | seems to be getting closer. Floyd | Floyd | > | Jacqueline says, "Also, since you showed up a touch late... this is a game where we think having just one person typing commands will work best, but you can suggest what she should type." | |||
| ParserGirl says, "NW might be a good retreat." | ||||
| DavidW says, "yeah, nw" | ||||
| Jacqueline says, "Yes, nw." | ||||
| Jacqueline says, "If we die, I'll have others to blame." | ||||
| ParserGirl says, "Recap: we are escaping Robot Yeti Zombie somethings and listing to commands from an exsanguinating limbless soldier over our stolen cellphone." | ||||
| ParserGirl says (to Floyd), "nw" | ||||
Floyd | Floyd | A cave Floyd | Passages go southeast and northeast. A heavy-looking iron door leads Floyd | west. It is closed. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| ParserGirl says (to Floyd), "open door" | ||||
Floyd | It seems to be locked. Floyd | Floyd | You hear a roar from the southeast. It seems to be getting closer. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||

Floyd | A cave Floyd | [Previous turn undone.] Floyd | Floyd | > | ParserGirl says, "OH DARN IT" | |||

Floyd | Floyd | A cave Floyd | Passages go northwest and southwest. Another dead soldier lies all Floyd | over the place. Floyd | Floyd | A ring of keys lies here. There must be at least sixty keys on it! Floyd | Floyd | You hear a roar from the southwest. It gets further and further away, Floyd | then disappears. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||

Floyd | Taken. Floyd | Floyd | > | ParserGirl says, "circling" | |||

| ParserGirl says, "yay" | ||||
| ParserGirl says (to Floyd), "unlock door" | ||||
Floyd | You try one of the keys. It does not fit. Floyd | Floyd | You hear a roar from the northeast. It gets further and further away, Floyd | then disappears. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||

Floyd | You try another key. It does not fit. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||

| DavidW says, "oops" | ||||
| ParserGirl says (to Floyd), "se" | ||||
Floyd | You try to leave, but the yeti robot zombie grabs you and drags you Floyd | back. You manage to shake loose from its grip. Floyd | Floyd | The yeti robot zombie roars. Floyd | Floyd | > | ParserGirl asks, "Should I try to shoot it?" | |||
| Jacqueline says, "Ack." | ||||
| Corporal_Touchy says, "Put him down." | ||||
| DavidW says, "kill it, I think." | ||||
| ParserGirl says (to Floyd), "shoot yeti" | ||||
Floyd | "Have a taste of plasma!" you say. A plasma beam evaporates the yeti Floyd | robot zombie. Five shots left. Floyd | Floyd | "Did I hear a shot?" says the general on the phone. "Careful son, you Floyd | gotta save the ammo. Find some way to avoid shooting the monsters." Floyd | Floyd | > | Jacqueline says, "Eep." | |||
| ParserGirl says, "Thanks Chief." | ||||
| ParserGirl says (to Floyd), "unlock door" | ||||
Floyd | You try a new key. It does not fit. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||

Floyd | You try a new key. It fits. What luck! You unlock the door. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||

Floyd | You open the door. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| ParserGirl says (to Floyd), "w" | ||||
Floyd | Floyd | A small white room Floyd | To the north is a doorway. To the east is a heavy-looking iron door. Floyd | It is open. Floyd | Floyd | You speak into the cell phone "I am inside the base." Floyd | "Excellent. On the second floor is a cabinet. It is locked, but one of Floyd | your keys will open it. Inside the cabinet is an experimental Floyd | teleporting device. Just push the button, and it will teleport you to Floyd | our main base, on the other side of the mountain." Floyd | "Very well." Floyd | Floyd | Suddenly you hear a roar to the east. A yeti robot zombie must be just Floyd | outside the door! Floyd | Floyd | > | DavidW says, "CLOSE THE DOOR" | |||
| ParserGirl says, "I think it is probably wise that I . . . yes." | ||||
| ParserGirl says (to Floyd), "close door" | ||||
Floyd | You close the door. Floyd | Floyd | You hear a roar from the east. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| ParserGirl says (to Floyd), "lock door" | ||||
Floyd | You lock the door. Floyd | Floyd | There comes a loud bang from the door, as if something large is being Floyd | smashed against it. Floyd | Floyd | > | Jacqueline says, "For some reason I thought this might be a peaceful, serene game." | |||
| Jacqueline says, "(kidding)" | ||||
| ParserGirl says, "I wonder if we can push the cabinet against the door" | ||||
| Jacqueline says, "Ooh - try." | ||||
| DavidW says, "The cabinet is UPSTAIRS." | ||||
| Jacqueline says, "Ooh - don't try." | ||||
| ParserGirl says, "OH HEY" | ||||
| ParserGirl says (to Floyd), "n" | ||||
Floyd | Floyd | Another small white room Floyd | To the south and north are doorways. Lots of useless debris blocks Floyd | the north doorway. It is going to take several minutes to move it Floyd | away. Floyd | Floyd | You hear a bang from the south. Floyd | Floyd | > | ParserGirl says, "RIVETING DEBRIS CLEARING" | |||
| Corporal_Touchy exclaims, "Hehe. Just get to the damn teleporter!" | ||||
| DavidW says (to CT), "We're trying, new guy." | ||||
| ParserGirl says, "I wonder if I can shut the south door" | ||||
| ParserGirl says (to Floyd), "shut door" | ||||
Floyd | You can't see any such thing. Floyd | Floyd | > | DavidW says, "Doorway. Not door." | |||
| ParserGirl says, "bah" | ||||
| ParserGirl says (to Floyd), "clear debris" | ||||
Floyd | As you begin to move the debris, the bangs from the south get louder Floyd | and more frequent. You hurry up. Soon the debris is out of the way. Floyd | Floyd | You hear loud bangs and angry roaring from the south. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| ParserGirl says (to Floyd), "n" | ||||
Floyd | Floyd | Yet another small white room Floyd | To the south is a doorway. Stairs goes up. Floyd | Floyd | You hear a roar behind you and turn. A yeti robot zombie was standing Floyd | up against the wall, besides the door. Now it moves in front of the Floyd | door, blocking it. But the stairs are clear. And you know yeti robot Floyd | zombies are really bad at walking up stairs. Floyd | Floyd | > | Jacqueline asks, "Well, I doubt errors cost us time, do they?" | |||
| DavidW says, "Yes. Of course they do." | ||||
| Jacqueline says, "Ack." | ||||
| Corporal_Touchy says, "I thought we should just go up...sorry." | ||||
| Jacqueline says, "You mean game errors - like 'You can't see any such thing?'" | ||||
| ParserGirl says, "We know this, of course. We are tactical YRZ experts." | ||||
| ParserGirl says (to Floyd), "up" | ||||
Floyd | Floyd | One more small white room Floyd | Stairs go down. A glass cabinet is here. It is closed. Inside it is a Floyd | small black box with a round red button. Floyd | Floyd | You hear the clamor of a yeti robot zombie trying to walk up the Floyd | stairs. Floyd | Floyd | > | DavidW says, "unlock the cabinet" | |||
| ParserGirl says, "Wait, it's glass." | ||||
| DavidW asks, "or, hm. Break it?" | ||||
| ParserGirl says (to Floyd), "break cabinet" | ||||
Floyd | You smash the cabinet to pieces with your fists. The small black box Floyd | falls on the floor. Floyd | Floyd | You hear the clamor of a yeti robot zombie trying to walk up the Floyd | stairs. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| ParserGirl says (to Floyd), "push button" | ||||
Floyd | You push the button. Reality hiccups and you are somewhere else. Floyd | Floyd | An additional small white room Floyd | A doorway leads south. Stairs go up. Floyd | Floyd | You notice you don't have the box with you. Or the keys. Oh well, Floyd | let's just hope none of your more important internal organs got left Floyd | behind. Floyd | "The teleporter worked." you say in the phone. Floyd | "It did? Really? That's great! Now walk up the stairs and you will Floyd | find two doors. It doesn't matter which one you take, both will lead Floyd | to a roof." Floyd | "Then what?" Floyd | "On each roof there will be a helicopter. I assume you know how to fly Floyd | one?" Floyd | "Off course." Floyd | "Then it's off to Drammen." Floyd | "Right!" Floyd | Floyd | Just then two yeti robot zombies, one thin and one fat, shamble in Floyd | from the south. They roar when they see you. They are blocking your Floyd | path to the south, but the stairs are clear. Floyd | Floyd | > | ParserGirl says, "Hooray!" | |||
| ParserGirl says, "GO GO GOOD TEAM" | ||||
| Ellison says, "hehe" | ||||
| Jacqueline says, "heehee" | ||||
| ParserGirl says, "Wait,we're still in danger." | ||||
| DavidW says, "yes. We are." | ||||
| ParserGirl says, "I guess there are stairs again though." | ||||
| Corporal_Touchy says, "I say we insult them till they fight each other." | ||||
| ParserGirl says (to Floyd), "up" | ||||
Floyd | Floyd | Yet an additional small white room Floyd | Stairs go down. There is a glass door to the east, and another one to Floyd | the west. Both are closed. Floyd | Floyd | You hear the clamor of two yeti robot zombies trying to walk up the Floyd | stairs. Floyd | Floyd | > | Jacqueline says, "We're still in danger and we might be missing our appendix, but I guess that's not a 'more important internal organ,' so that might be okay." | |||
| ParserGirl says, "It doesn't matter which door, according to Corporal Torso." | ||||
| ParserGirl asks, "Bust em down?" | ||||
| ParserGirl says, "Or maybe it's a death trap and they're unlocked." | ||||
| Corporal_Touchy says, "Just try to open them." | ||||
| ParserGirl says (to Floyd), "e" | ||||
Floyd | The door is locked. Floyd | Floyd | You hear the clamor of two yeti robot zombies trying to walk up the Floyd | stairs. Floyd | Floyd | > | DavidW says, "I don't know what the default door handling is. I'd just try 'w'." | |||
| ParserGirl says (to Floyd), "break east door" | ||||
Floyd | You smash the door to pieces with your fists. Floyd | Floyd | You hear the clamor of two yeti robot zombies trying to walk up the Floyd | stairs. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||

Floyd | You push the button. You sit waiting for the helicopter to take off. Floyd | After a while the fat yeti robot zombie and the thin yeti robot zombie Floyd | burst into the chopper.

| ParserGirl says (to DW), "There were two doors but I think they both went to the same roof." | ||||
| DavidW says, "I know. So they get this chopper. We get the other one." | ||||
| ParserGirl says, "Or maybe he just named them like that to differentiate them." | ||||

| DavidW says (to Jacqueline), "That's probably doable." | ||||

Floyd | You try. It is like trying to move a mountain. Floyd | Floyd | The yeti robot zombies roar even more than they have roared before. Floyd | Then they try to hit you with their claws.

| Catena asks, "are we trying to kill or survive?" | ||||
| DavidW says (to Taleslinger), "The author asks the player to not use UNDO." | ||||
| ParserGirl says (to Catena), "Cell phone, with a legless armless general on the other end and a plasma rifle with about four shots left." | ||||
| Ellison says, "you'd think being part yeti, they'd be good at making themselves scarce" | ||||
| ParserGirl says, "We're supposed to be conserving ammo." | ||||
| Jacqueline | This is a try-to-win-on-the-first-attempt game. The point of the game is to try to win on the first attempt. Or, failing that, to win in as few attempts as possible. You are not supposed to use "undo" or "restore" if things are going badly. | ||||
| Jacqueline says, "That is the author's wish." | ||||
| Taleslinger says, "surely he didn't write that with CF in mind. ;-)" | ||||
| DavidW says, "oh. TALK TO the zombies." | ||||
| Catena asks, "okies. Are we at a dead end? what if we just let the chopper take off and crash?" | ||||
| ParserGirl says, "The yeti will eat us before that happens and we can't leave the chopper." | ||||
| Taleslinger asks, "how far in the game are you people?" | ||||
| DavidW says, "We're this far in." | ||||
| Catena says, "well, if we only have one action we must distroct them both" | ||||
| ParserGirl says, "Not far, but I don't think it's very long." | ||||
| ParserGirl says (to Catena), "We've had about four actions so far." | ||||

Floyd | You have no idea about how to communicate with a yeti robot zombie. Floyd | Floyd | The yeti robot zombies roar. Then they try to hit you. You just manage Floyd | to jump to the side instead of being sliced to small chunks. Then the Floyd | yeti robot zombies roar some more. Floyd | Floyd | You hear the hum of the chopper starting up. Floyd | Floyd | > | DavidW says, "okay. Talk to the phone." | |||
| ParserGirl says (to Floyd), "talk to phone" | ||||
Floyd | You speak into the phone "What was I supposed to do?" Floyd | Hansen says "Upstairs you will find two doors. It doesn't matter which Floyd | one you take, both will lead to a roof. On each roof there will be a Floyd | helicopter. Fly it to Drammen." Floyd | Floyd | While roaring, the yeti robot zombies continue to try and hit you with Floyd | their claws.

Floyd | "You found the wrong guy to mess with!" you say. A plasma beam Floyd | evaporates the thin yeti robot zombie. Three shots left. Floyd | Floyd | After waiting a while the chopper takes off. Floyd | Floyd | A couple of hours later you speak into the phone: "Ok, I am now flying Floyd | over Drammen." Floyd | "You are doing great. The headquarters of the evil boss is in a new Floyd | building. It's the tallest one in Drammen, close to the middle of the Floyd | city. Can you see it?" Floyd | "Yes." Floyd | Floyd | It must be over a hundred stories tall, and it easily dwarfs any of Floyd | the other buildings. On the sides it has huge neon pentagrams. On the Floyd | roof is a 30-meter tall statue of a yeti robot zombie. Floyd | Floyd | "Be careful." says General Hansen. "There are rumors that the closest Floyd | servants of the evil boss are a group of Satanists!" Floyd | "Holy crap!" Floyd | "Indeed. They are very deadly in combat. And don't think for a minute Floyd | that you can reason with them. They are at least as dangerous as the Floyd | yeti robot zombies." Floyd | "Understood." Floyd | Floyd | You fly closer to the building. You notice that the eyes of the statue Floyd | of the yeti robot zombie are moving. They are following your chopper! Floyd | Floyd | The statues mouth opens. A rocket shoots out, straight towards you! Floyd | You steer the chopper down. You avoid a full hit. Instead the rocket Floyd | explodes against the propeller. The chopper is going down fast! Floyd | Floyd | Frantically, you steer the chopper towards the building. It smashes Floyd | into, and goes halfway through, the roof! The impact makes the chopper Floyd | door open, and you fall out! You land painfully on the floor below. Floyd | Floyd | Groaning, you slowly get up. You look around. Floyd | Floyd | West side of a hall Floyd | You are on the west side of large black hall. Above you the chopper is Floyd | sticking halfway through the ceiling. You can go east. Floyd | Floyd | On the east side of the hall you can see the following: Floyd | A large red metal barrel stands on the floor. On it is written, in Floyd | large black letters: "DANGER! HIGHLY EXPLOSIVE!" A yeti robot zombie Floyd | stands on one side of the barrel, a man on the other. He is wearing a Floyd | hooded brown robe, which conceals his face. For some reason the yeti Floyd | robot zombie shows no sign of wanting to attack the man. A doorway Floyd | leads north. Floyd | Floyd | The man says "Ah, excellent. Another sacrifice to our master. But Floyd | first a prayer." He begins to mutter something in Latin. Floyd | Floyd | > | ParserGirl says, "HOORAY" | |||

| ParserGirl says, "hahahaha "Holy crap!"" | ||||
| Fang says, "I hope we haven't screwed ourselves" | ||||
| Jacqueline says, "I think we're okay." | ||||
| DavidW says (to Fang), "Probably." | ||||
| Fang says, "in that there will be something requiring 4 shots later.." | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "i" | ||||
Floyd | You have a plasma rifle (with three shots left) and a cell phone. Floyd | Floyd | > | ParserGirl says, "We have three shots out of six. Conservation doesn't mean never using them at all." | |||
| Jacqueline says, "Well, I think you can get two with one shot here." | ||||
| DavidW says, "3 shots left." | ||||
| ParserGirl says, ""But first, several turns to give you the opportunity to defeat me while I mutter in Latin."" | ||||
| DavidW asks, "I suppose you want to shoot the barrel?" | ||||
| ParserGirl says, "I do, but I need a quick afk. Someone else can take over" | ||||
| Jacqueline says, "Eep. Okay." | ||||
| Jacqueline asks, "So, shoot the barrel?" | ||||
| Jacqueline asks, "Or pray?" | ||||
| Jacqueline says, "I'm thinking praying is bad... I was just kidding." | ||||
| Corporal_Touchy asks, "Or just run and save a shot?" | ||||
| Fang says, "praying sounds interesting" | ||||
| DavidW says, "There's a possibility that the monk (or whoever it is) has a gadget that means zombies don't attack you." | ||||
| Fang says, "either it'll save us, or it'll be unimplemented, I think" | ||||
| Corporal_Touchy asks (of DavidW), "You mean like a brown robe?" | ||||
| Catena says, "I think we're overanalyzing this" | ||||
| Fang says, "that's my OOC perspective, anyways" | ||||
| Catena says, "shoot and take the robe" | ||||
| Jacqueline says, "Okay. So we have (a) run, (b) shoot barrel, (c) pray, (d) somehow figure out with limited verb implementation how to get the gadget from the evil monk dude." | ||||
| Corporal_Touchy asks (of Catena), "Definitely. Isn't it fun?" | ||||
| ParserGirl says, "Hooray! I return." | ||||
| DavidW says (to Catena), "If we're heading into the main HQ of zombie central, we need something. Maybe the robe *is* it." | ||||

For some reason the yeti Floyd | robot zombie shows no sign of wanting to attack the man. A doorway Floyd | leads north. Floyd | Floyd | > | Jacqueline says, "It is amusing how much we are indeed overanalyzing it given the author's constraint of no undo." | |||
| Corporal_Touchy says, "I'm with DavidW. That sentence really has a supercool gadget between the lines." | ||||
| Fang says, "I think we should give prayer a chance" | ||||
| Jacqueline says, "I think we can risk a turn to pray." | ||||
| ParserGirl says, "The robe might still be intact if the guy is thrown from the explosion." | ||||
| ParserGirl says, "Sure, ok." | ||||
| ParserGirl says (to Floyd), "pray" | ||||
Floyd | Nothing practical results from your prayer. Floyd | Floyd | The man continues to mutter something in Latin. Floyd | Floyd | > | Fang says, "oh well" | |||
| Corporal_Touchy asks, "Is pray a common verb or did you realy just come up with that?" | ||||
| DavidW says, "We can't search or examine anything. We'll need to kill the guy or maybe even grab the robe off him as he prays." | ||||
| DavidW says, "Pray is a standard verb." | ||||
| Catena says, "pray is in the default set of Inform 7 at least" | ||||
| ParserGirl says, "Well, we definitely can't shoot him directly. That would vaporize him and the robe along with it." | ||||
| DavidW says, "So hit him." | ||||
| Fang says, "I guess the obvious thing is to shoot the barrel" | ||||
| Corporal_Touchy says, "Back to the barrel..." | ||||
| ParserGirl says (to DW), "The yeti might not like that." | ||||
| Corporal_Touchy says, "I think we've analyzed enough now let's do the obvious thing hehe" | ||||
| DavidW says, "None of the options is safe." | ||||
| ParserGirl says, "Barrel blasting!" | ||||
| Jacqueline says, "Life is all about mitigating risks." | ||||
| ParserGirl says (to Floyd), "shoot barrel" | ||||
Floyd | "I love me some good fireworks!" you shout. The plasma beam hits the Floyd | barrel and the barrel explodes. The man and the yeti robot zombie get Floyd | thrown through the air in opposite directions. Both smash into a wall. Floyd | Sparks start shooting out from all over the body of the yeti robot Floyd | zombie, and then it explodes into nothing. The man slides down on the Floyd | floor, dead. Two shots left. Floyd | Floyd | Happily you speak into the phone "Hey general Hansen! I just killed my Floyd | fist human!" Floyd | "I am proud of you, boy. When I argh. Blahaghr. Floyd | Grablahaharghragghrablagragh. Glb." Floyd | "General Hansen? GENERAL HANSEN?!" Floyd | There is no answer. You realize he has bled to death. You look up and Floyd | shout in anger: "CURSE YOU EVIL BOSS!" Floyd | Floyd | > | DavidW says, "We might be able to get robe or possible gadget before the zombie can react." | |||

Floyd | Floyd | A large black office Floyd | A man sits behind a desk, on one of them office chairs with little Floyd | wheels. He is wearing a suit and a tie. He must be the boss! A Floyd | steaming cup of coffee stands on the desk. A heavy-looking bookshelf Floyd | stands against a wall, close to the desk. The shelf reaches almost to Floyd | the ceiling. It is filled with old, black tomes. Directly behind the Floyd | man is a large window going from floor to ceiling. Outside is Drammen. Floyd | A doorway leads south. Floyd | Floyd | The man says "First of all, do not think for a moment that your Floyd | disguise will work against me. Secondly, welcome to my humble abode." Floyd | Floyd | > | ParserGirl says, "uh oh" | |||
| Jacqueline says, "Eep." | ||||
| Jacqueline says, "I think he might be on to us." | ||||
| Catena asks, "drop the bookcase on him?" | ||||
| Corporal_Touchy says, "We should totally push him through the window." | ||||
| ParserGirl says, "Let's see how he likes hot coffee! For him! In his face!" | ||||
| DavidW says, "yes. Boss through window seems the key." | ||||
| Fang says, "Let's wait while he explains his plans and put us in an easily escapable position" | ||||
| Catena exclaims, "three good ideas! four!" | ||||
| DavidW says, "But I bet it's done by books falling on desk, spilling hot coffee in lap, and boss backpedaling through window." | ||||
| ParserGirl says, "No one expects the yeti inquisition." | ||||
| Catena exclaims, "ooooh, chain reaction!" | ||||
| Corporal_Touchy says, "Woah. Great plan." | ||||
| ParserGirl says, "Well, I guess we can start on the bookcase." | ||||
| Corporal_Touchy asks, "How many shots do we have left? Two?" | ||||
| ParserGirl says, "Yes." | ||||
| Catena says, "hold it' it's a mcdonalds cup, so won't spill because the victim was the evi/ boss' mother" | ||||
| DavidW asks, "Can we push/pull the bookshelf?" | ||||
| ParserGirl says (to Floyd), "push bookshelf" | ||||
Floyd | You grab the bookshelf from the side. "I think you should have stuck Floyd | to some LIGHT reading!" you say and push the shelf towards the man. He Floyd | screams as heavy books rain down on him. Then the massive shelf Floyd | smashes into his head. He falls off his chair. The body gets hidden Floyd | beneath the shelf. It gets very quiet. Floyd | Floyd | "Is he dead?" you wonder. Floyd | Floyd | Suddenly the shelf explodes in flames! Up from the flaming debris Floyd | rises the boss! But he has changed. He has green skin, short horns and Floyd | long claws. He shoots red beams from his eyes, destroying the shelf Floyd | and books further. Then he shreds the rest of the remains with his Floyd | claws. The flames die down. He sits down on his chair. Floyd | Floyd | The man says "I am impressed you have made it so far." Floyd | Floyd | > | ParserGirl says, "I'd say yes." | |||
| Jacqueline says, "heh" | ||||
| ParserGirl says, "So. I'm guessing hot coffee might just tickle him." | ||||

| ParserGirl says (to Floyd), "throw coffee on him" | ||||
Floyd | "You should be careful; coffee can be DANGEROUS TO YOUR HEALTH!" you Floyd | shout grabbing the scalding coffee and throwing it at the man's head. Floyd | Screaming he clutches at his face. He stands up, and stumbles Floyd | backwards. He hits the window. It breaks and he falls through. You run Floyd | over to the window and look down. The man is screaming and falling Floyd | downwards in slow motion. He lands with a wet thud against the Floyd | pavement. Floyd | Floyd | "He is dead." you think. Floyd | Floyd | The body transforms. The horns grow longer, tentacles shoots out from Floyd | its head, and his shoes and pants burst as his legs grow huge and Floyd | round like the legs of an elephant. He uses his tentacles to climb up Floyd | the wall; they must have suckers on them. Soon he is at the window. He Floyd | has to bend his head forward to get through, his horns are so long. He Floyd | no longer looks remotely human. The boss sits down on his chair behind Floyd | the desk. Floyd | Floyd | A tentacle shoots out and grabs the empty cup from your hand. The Floyd | tentacle crumbles the cup and throws it out the window. Floyd | Floyd | The man says "I will enjoy killing such a worthy opponent." Floyd | Floyd | > | DavidW says, "oh dear.

| ParserGirl says (to Floyd), "push chair" | ||||
Floyd | "You've got a nice view here. Why don't you take a CLOSER LOOK!" you Floyd | say and push the man in the chest. His chair rolls backwards and hits Floyd | the window. He and the chair falls through. You run over to the window Floyd | and look down. The man is screaming and falling downwards in slow Floyd | motion. He lands with a wet thud against the pavement. Floyd | Floyd | "He is dead." you think. Floyd | Floyd | The body turns to green sludge, which evaporates into nothing. Floyd | Floyd | You have a closer look at the desk. You notice it has lots of buttons. Floyd | Two in particular interest you: a big red one that says "KILL ALL YETI Floyd | ROBOT ZOMBIES", and a smaller yellow one that says "Secret exit". Floyd | Floyd | > | Fang says, "hah" | |||
| DavidW says, "ha ha" | ||||
| ParserGirl says, "We had to kill that guy no fewer than three times. That was awesome." | ||||
| Jacqueline says, "I mean, try it, but I think this is like Gun Mute where you do one thing, then another, then another, then another... but then, you're supposed to do all those things, so sure, shoot him." | ||||
| inky says, "it's also funny he basically falls out the window twice" | ||||
| DavidW says, "push red button, I guess. Then push yellow one." | ||||
| Jacqueline says, "Oh wait, he really is dead." | ||||
| Jacqueline says, "I didn't expect that." | ||||
| inky says (to Jacqueline), "or IS he" | ||||
| Fang says, "red sounds like a trap" | ||||
| inky says, "dunh dunh dunh" | ||||
| Jacqueline says, "Yellow sounds nice." | ||||
| Corporal_Touchy says, "It does sound like a trap. Push it anyway." | ||||
| Catena says, "uh, I don't think that this game is that deep" | ||||
| ParserGirl says, "Ok, pushing red then yellow." | ||||
| ParserGirl says (to Floyd), "push red" | ||||
Floyd | You push the button. You hear an explosion below you, somewhere in the Floyd | building. Then another, and another, and another, several at once, Floyd | more than you can count. The whole building is trembling. The shaking Floyd | gets harder. You fall over. You look out the window. You see several Floyd | explosions in Drammen, some inside buildings, some down near the Floyd | street. Then the number of explosions starts to decrease. After a Floyd | while all is quiet. Outside, several buildings are burning. Floyd | Floyd | > | Fang says, "it could be: 'Kill, All robot yeti zombies'" | |||
| inky says, "except that it turns out YOU TOO are a robot yeti zombie" | ||||
| ParserGirl says (to Floyd), "push yellow" | ||||
Floyd | You push the button. The desk slides to the side, revealing stairs Floyd | going down. Floyd | Floyd | > | ParserGirl says, "This game is apparently as deep as the convex side of a barn." | |||
| Corporal_Touchy says, "HAHAHA" | ||||
| ParserGirl says (to Floyd), "d" | ||||
Floyd | You walk down, manage to sneak past a few Satanists and you are out.

| ParserGirl says (to Floyd), "amusing" | ||||
Floyd | Floyd | * Win the game with 4 shots left in the rifle. Floyd | * That's it. Floyd | Floyd | Would you like to RESTART, RESTORE a saved game, UNDO your last move, Floyd | see some suggestions for AMUSING things to do or QUIT? Floyd | > | Ellison says, "good job, everyone" | |||
| Catena says, "rofl, only takes more than one try if you don't do the obvious" | ||||
| ParserGirl says, "I meant we didn't die once." | ||||
| inky says, "it probably takes a second try to win with 4 bullets left" | ||||
| inky says, "(unless you guys are better at it than I was)" | ||||
| Jacqueline says, "Huzzah." | ||||
| Jacqueline says, "We only had two shots left." | ||||
| Jacqueline asks, "So... wait. You can do it with 4 left?" | ||||
| DavidW says, "hm. So that means either the barrel or the chopper zombies don't need a shot." | ||||
| Jacqueline says, "Also, yeah - >AMUSING" | ||||
| ParserGirl says, "Well, if that yeti hadn't caught me in the circle I wouldn't have had to shoot it." | ||||
| Taleslinger says, "The last shot is for yourself, so we had one shot left." | ||||
| ParserGirl says, "Bland MacMcHero" | ||||
| inky says, "ha ha" | ||||
| inky says, "the chopper zombies don't need a shot" | ||||
| inky says, "IIRC" | ||||
| DavidW says, "How many shots did we use altogether? Four, yes? Cave zombie, 2 chopper zombies, and barrel." | ||||
| ParserGirl asks (of inky), "Do you remember how?" | ||||
| inky says, "(the barrel is a way to avoid using more bullets on the guys directly)" | ||||
| Fang says, "that was, um, pretty easy" | ||||
| inky says, "hmm" | ||||
| inky says, "I think you might not have to shoot the cave zombie" | ||||
| inky says, "and might have to shoot only one of the chopper zombies" | ||||
| inky says, "there is some way to slow them down, I believe" | ||||
| DavidW asks, "oh. Open both glass doors, so they each take one?" | ||||
| Jacqueline says, "Oh, I missed that that was the "amusing" bit. Bah." | ||||
| ParserGirl says, "Yep." | ||||
| (from inky) Jacqueline says "We are not amused." | ||||
| Jacqueline says, "Heehee. No." | ||||
| Jacqueline asks, "Well, that took 1h10min. Another?" | ||||
| ParserGirl says, "I'm game." | ||||
| Jacqueline says, "Everything on the CF object is now uploaded, I think, so... there's probably another short game if people are up for it." | ||||
| Jacqueline says, "You can >X CF to see the list." | ||||
| Nitku asks, "Is Fail-Safe long?" | ||||
| inky says (to DavidW), "that seems right, although I don't remember for sure" | ||||
| Fang says, "Failsafe is pretty short" | ||||
| DavidW says, "Fail-Safe is short, yeah." | ||||
| Jacqueline says, "Hm... well, I don't have a preference. If it's a short game, let's do that." | ||||
| DavidW says, "Probably a good match for this game." | ||||
| Nitku says, "I played it once but didn't get very far" | ||||
| Fang says, "oh yeah, hands up if you've played it before" | ||||
| Jacqueline says, "Can we use undo in Fail Safe? I'm all for using undo." | ||||
| Fang says, "(to completion)" | ||||
| Jacqueline puts both hands down. | ||||
| Fang says (to Jacq), "We can use undo, IIRC" | ||||
| DavidW says, "I think undo is permitted for FS." | ||||
| DavidW says, "We'll see if that helps you. :)" | ||||
| Fang says, "but not save, but I don't think either is required, anyways" | ||||
| Jacqueline asks, "Who's played it to completion?" | ||||
| Fang says, "I've played it, so I'll avoid spoiling" | ||||
| DavidW says, "I have. It was a while back." | ||||
| Taleslinger says, "Me, same as nitku" | ||||
| Jacqueline says, "I'm trying to think of who suggested this. One sec and I'll go check." | ||||
| Jacqueline waves and makes an isquiesque departure for home. | ||||
| inky has had his fill of playing for now, and goes back to the Lounge. | ||||
| Jacqueline arrives, ready to play with the toys. | Jacqueline says, "Silly me, I think I destroyed the old lists rather than filing them away. Bah." | |||
| Jacqueline asks, "Anyway, Fail Safe, then, I take it?" | ||||
| vimes says, "Gotta head out. Thanks for the game so far. Cheers, and good luck!" | ||||
| vimes was passed by the passive voice. | Fang exclaims (at Jacq), "You should go into politics!" | |||

| Corporal_Touchy says (to DW), "I hadn't realized that I have missed something. Sorry though." | ||||
| Jacqueline says, "Okay, let's discuss this." | ||||
| Catena says, "maybe we set range to 0 and blow ourselves up" | ||||
| Jacqueline says, "(This is going the be the longest ClubFloyd transcript EVAR, thankyouverymuch.)" | ||||
| DavidW says, "hardly longest." | ||||
| Jacqueline asks, "Okay, Catena, you've been heard. Does anyone have anything USEFUL?" | ||||
| Jacqueline says (to DW), "Probably not, yeah." | ||||
| Jacqueline says (to Catena), "Kidding, of course. But I think we've actually blown ourselves up a few times already and I'm ready for something new." | ||||
| Catena says, "I said that because our chef here is apparently an enemy" | ||||
| Jacqueline says, "Hm... oh, I see what you're getting at." | ||||
| Jacqueline says, "I thought you were kidding, but I see." | ||||
| Nitku asks, "Could we change the ammo type to something less dangerous?" | ||||
| Catena asks, "we doomed ourself when we gave him the laser, right?" | ||||
| Jacqueline says, "We did, yes." | ||||
| Jacqueline asks, "So 9987, you're thinking?" | ||||
| Catena says, "and 2322" | ||||
| Fang asks, "I guess you should try reading the options and figure out what they stand for?" | ||||
| Jacqueline says, "Hm. Wonder what the difference is between the two..." | ||||
| Jacqueline asks, "Maybe target the enemy ship?" | ||||
| Nitku asks, "Or, "attack target enemy ship" to blow up the dude's own ship?" | ||||
| Nitku says, "timing" | ||||
| Jacqueline says, "That seems a reasonable try, so it'll probably fail horribly." | ||||
| Jacqueline asks, "Catena, mind if we try that?" | ||||
| Catena says, "not at all" | ||||
| Jacqueline asks, "CT, thoughts?" | ||||
| Jacqueline says, "CT may not be here just now." | ||||
| Corporal_Touchy says, "na- can't figure out what dstrct is supposed to mean" | ||||
| Jacqueline asks, "District?" | ||||
| olethros arrives, full of fun and funk. | Corporal_Touchy says, "that is if dtnt is detonation" | |||
| Catena says, "destruct" | ||||
| Jacqueline says, "Oh, or destruct, yeah." | ||||
| Corporal_Touchy says, "well go and try that..." | ||||
| Fang says, "stupid anti-vowel future government" | ||||
| Corporal_Touchy says, "what you said i mean" | ||||
| Catena says, "I work with unix a lot, there's a ban on vowels" | ||||
| DavidW says, "In the future, vowels are a sign of weakness." | ||||
| Fang says (to Catena), "ALL YOUR FAULT" | ||||
| Jacqueline says, "h ddn't knw tht." | ||||
| Corporal_Touchy says, "Probably the catholic fundamentalists hehe" | ||||
| Jacqueline asks, "So... 6126?" | ||||
| Fang asks (of DavidW), "and unix is finally ready for the desktop?" | ||||
| Jacqueline asks, "...hello? Hello? Can... me? .. Anyone! Hel.... Need.. hello?" | ||||
| DavidW says, "I know too little about Unix to comment about its readiness for anything other than its acolytes." | ||||
| Catena says, "saying unix is not ready for the desktop is like saying race cars are not ready for the highway" | ||||
| (from DavidW) Jacqueline says, "I'm in the lighthouse! I need a new battery!" | ||||
| Jacqueline asks (of CT/Cat/Nitku), "6126?" | ||||
| Corporal_Touchy says, "just try it" | ||||
| Nitku says, "yeah, try that" | ||||
| Jacqueline says, "Okay. I need clearance from you three so that when it fails horribly I have someone to blame. Cool." | ||||
| Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "enter 6126" | ||||
Floyd | "Okay, I'll type it in.. hang on... " Floyd | Floyd | <bzzt> "the laser's powering up... targetting is swinging round...

Floyd | | ||||
| Floyd asks, "That game over already? It was just getting good. Wanna play another?" | ||||
| Fang says (to Floyd), "no damn u" | ||||
| Floyd says (to Fang), "Floyd doesn't know that trick." | Jacqueline asks, "I... um... guess that was a win?" | |||
| Fang says, "yeah" | ||||
| Corporal_Touchy says, "yeah...disappointing though" | ||||
| Corporal_Touchy says, "i don't feel good at all" | ||||
| Fang says, "I think you guys take way too long deciding stuff" | ||||
| Jacqueline says, "That... was... anti-climactic." | ||||
| Jacqueline says (to Fang), "Heehee" | ||||
| Jacqueline says, "Yes." | ||||
| Fang says, "But I thought it was interesting, seeing it again if you know the twist" | ||||
| Fang says, "watching for the inconsistencies" | ||||
| Fang asks, "which ones did people notice?" | ||||
| Jacqueline says (to Fang), "Glad we could entertain you." | ||||
| Nitku says, "I liked it" | ||||
| Fang asks (of Jacq), "...sorry?" | ||||
| Jacqueline says, "I would have liked it more if it had had a save command." | ||||
| (from Jacqueline) Jacqueline says, "And if it hadn't been so SciFi." | ||||
| Jacqueline says (to Fang), "Oh, just that you enjoyed watching us flail. I would have enjoyed it, too, if I had played it before." | ||||
| Corporal_Touchy says, "inconsistencies...hm...nope didn't notice any" | ||||
| Fang says, "e.g. how he didn't know any of crew" | ||||
| Jacqueline says, "True." | ||||
| Fang says, "and said McThwaite was an engineer, when he was a chef" | ||||
| Jacqueline says, "He did a good job of faking that he was horrified, though." | ||||
| Corporal_Touchy says, "yeah - and that we couldn't find out who he is" | ||||
| Corporal_Touchy says, "well i really like the general idea" | ||||
| Corporal_Touchy says, "playing phone support is a lot more fun than actually doing it i guess" | ||||
| Jacqueline says, "It was good, yeah. Just the no-save thing was bad. Otherwise pretty good game." | ||||
| Fang says, "and also, he gave a bit away when he found the laser, which was was altogether too obsessed with" | ||||
| Fang says, "*he was" | ||||
| Jacqueline says, "Hm, point." | ||||
| Jacqueline asks, "Okay, what should we play next week?" | ||||
| Fang says, "and also, how the battery had been flushed in the waste disposal" | ||||
| Taleslinger says (to jacq), "Curses." | ||||
| Fang says, "haha" | ||||
| Corporal_Touchy says (to Fang), "Yeah but you really wouldn't ever try to blow him up on first try" | ||||
| Corporal_Touchy says, "Just as impossible as to find the ink in bronze..." | ||||
| Jacqueline says, "Um. Wouldn't it take weeks to play that, T? Try >X CF and let's choose from there." | ||||
| Fang says, "yeah, I didn't realise it either" | ||||
| Jacqueline adjusts the object to remove Fail-Safe. | ||||
| Taleslinger asks, "Which one was For a change again?" | ||||
| ParserGirl says, "I put Halothane on the list." | ||||
| Fang says (to Jacq), "I guess another issue was that Floyd crapped out on us twice" | ||||
| DavidW says, "For a Change is the one with the songlantern." | ||||
| Taleslinger says, "aaah, For a change then." | ||||
| Fang says, "I mean, we would have completed it the second time, I think, if the laser codes displayed" | ||||
| DavidW says, "y'know, The sun is gone, it must be brought, you have a rock." | ||||
| Fang asks, "how long is that?" | ||||
| DavidW says, "Pretty short. Comp size or slightly smaller." | ||||
| Jacqueline says, "mmkay" | ||||
| Jacqueline asks, "How about Halothane next week, since PG's never gotten to suggest a game yet, then For a Change the week after?" | ||||
| ParserGirl says, "Hoot!" | ||||
| ParserGirl says, "Sorry, owl on keyboard." | ||||
