  
 
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 Man from DEFRA, written by Kevan Davis. The Man from DEFRA was originally released as part of the First 24 Hours of Inform. You can learn more about the game, including how to download it, by visiting the ifWiki. 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 | Welcome to the Cheap Glk Implementation, library version 0.9.0. Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | It's June 2001, and the pre-emptive Foot and Mouth culls are becoming Floyd | increasingly barbarous. On a remote Cumbrian farm, a DEFRA official has Floyd | arrived to oversee the slaughter of an uninfected goat herd, despite Floyd | the protestations of the farmer, despite the promise of a Floyd | court-approved reprieve the next morning. Floyd | Floyd | Someone's got to delay the culling of your herd. And that someone is Floyd | you.

Floyd | A thick wooden board, not quite the right shape to fit the doorframe, Floyd | is set in the western wall.

Floyd | Floyd | > | schep says, "wow, for once it makes sense for us to attempt to eat everything we see" | |||

Floyd | Your horns clatter against the door, but it remains closed. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||

Floyd | A roughly square hole in the western wall looks out onto the yard, and Floyd | the farm beyond. Floyd | Floyd | > | DavidW says, "Looks like 'butt' and 'kick' were both made equal to 'attack'." | |||
| schep says (to Floyd), "enter window" | ||||
Floyd | Clambering up the stony wall, you crane your neck through the window... Floyd | Floyd | View from the Goat Shed Floyd | You look out onto the fenced-in square of concrete, the exercise yard Floyd | and recreation area for your herd. The shed door rattles in the wind, Floyd | beside you. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||

| schep says (to Floyd), "x door" | ||||
Floyd | The wooden board is heavily weathered on this side, and shakes Floyd | violently in the wind. A short length of blue-plastic rope has been Floyd | tied between a nail in the door, and a hook on the wall outside. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||

Floyd | Stretching your neck, you are just able to take the rope between your Floyd | teeth. Lifting it from the hook, you attempt to pull it free from the Floyd | door, but it seems too firmly attached. Floyd | Floyd | You let go, and the rope falls to hang limply from the door. Floyd | Floyd | [Your score has just gone up by one point.] Floyd | Floyd | > | inky says, "oh yeah" | |||

Floyd | Floyd | The Goat Yard Floyd | This fenced-off square of washed-down concrete is as much of the world Floyd | as your herd has seen, for the past few weeks.

Floyd | Floyd | Courtyard Floyd | A roughly-bordered area of freshly-laid tarmac marks the centre of the Floyd | farm - the goat shed and its yard lie back to the south, while the Floyd | farmhouse is north.

Floyd | It looks like one of the big, wheeled machines that the farmer uses, Floyd | but is of an unfamiliar greyish colour. Floyd | Floyd | Now that you are closer to it, you realise that an unpleasant smell is Floyd | seeping from it. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| inky says (to Floyd), "smell vehicle" | ||||
Floyd | The machine smells of death, of dead and burnt flesh. Floyd | Floyd | > | schep says, "but dungeon has neither." | |||

Floyd | The sturdy plastic bucket has been filled with an acrid-smelling Floyd | disinfectant. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||

Floyd | The pit looks to be about half a leg deep, and is as wide as the track. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||

Floyd | Floyd | You notice lights moving in the field, and a dark green vehicle Floyd | suddenly rumbles into view, framed in the gateway.

Floyd | The noxious disinfectant bursts into fire with a roaring purple flame, Floyd | and begins to blazes away under its own fuel, acidic orange smoke Floyd | swirling up into the sky.
