  
 
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 two games. The first, You Are a Chef!, was written by Dan Shiovitz as part of Speed-IF 8 in 2000, and it was nominated for the Best Writing Xyzzy that year. You can learn more about the game, including how to download it, by visiting the ifWiki.The second game, Janitor, was written by Peter Seebach and Kevin Lynn. Janitor was originally released as part of the 2002 Interactive Fiction Competition, where it took fifth place. It went on to be nominated for a Xyzzy in the category of Best Individual PC. You can learn more about the game, including how to download it, by visiting the ifWiki, and you can jump straight to that part of the transcript by clicking here.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. |

| DavidW says, "well, there's no official clubfloyd this weekend, since Jacq and several others are at PAX East." | ||||
| Touchy says, "I know everybody is at PAX and that Jacq is on duty suppresing the masses..." | ||||
| Touchy says, "We could still play though" | ||||
| Gerynar asks, "which game did you have in mind?" | ||||
| Gerynar hopes it's not Savoir Faire | ||||
| Touchy says, "I don't know." | ||||
| Touchy says, "haha" | ||||
| Touchy exclaims, "come on that was fun!" | ||||
| Gerynar says, "yes" | ||||
| Touchy says, "Well, hm..." | ||||
| JayBot arrives, ready to play with the toys. | DavidW says, "I wrote a walkthrough for Savoir-Faire. I kinda know it reasonably well." | |||
| Touchy says (to DavidW), "I remember that you could barely hold back the hints..." | ||||
| Touchy arrives, full of fun, but no funk. | JayBot says, "I'm just Jaybird's alternate, being used for logging purposes." | |||
| DavidW asks (of Touchy), "I'm occassionally a bad boy, yes. Spank me?" | ||||
| Touchy says, "I'm afraid you might like it." | ||||
| Gerynar says, "#tmi" | ||||
| JayBot says, "That is, I want my primary session in the lounge so I can keep up with PAX goings on and whatnot. So I have JayBot logging #clubfloyd and the toyshop in case something interesting happens I want to see later." | ||||
| Touchy asks, "Well..ideas anybody?" | ||||
| Touchy says, "I haven't played any of the jayiscomp.." | ||||
| DavidW asks (of Touchy), "You realize you'll be limited to the games already on Floyd?" | ||||
| Touchy says, "Well, it's not a problem for me because I haven't played most of them." | ||||
| Touchy says, "So maybe somebody else should pick..." | ||||
| Gerynar says, "same here" | ||||
| DavidW says, "well, I'm just pointing it out because if you're thinking of jayiscomp games, you're likely going to be disappointed when you find they're not on Floyd." | ||||
| Touchy says, "Yes, I hadn't thought of that." | ||||
| Touchy says, "How about "you are a chef"" | ||||
| Gerynar says, "I hear that's an odd game" | ||||
| Touchy says, "apparently a classic with references in savoir faire..." | ||||
| Touchy says, "Anyway..just a suggestion..the first name that popped out that I actually know and haven't played." | ||||
| Gerynar says, "brb ... need to refill my coffee" | ||||
| DavidW says, "You are a chef is a nice small game. You'll like it." | ||||
| DavidW arrives, full of neither funk nor fun. | Touchy says, "yay" | |||
| Gerynar says, "let's play it then" | ||||
| Touchy says, "sweet" | ||||
| Touchy says, "so...can anybody use floyd? hehe" | ||||

Floyd | It's a large, white fridge, of the sort that decorates breakrooms Floyd | everywhere. It makes an odd buzzing sound when it's running, and the Floyd | temperature inside ranges from below the freezing point of water to Floyd | just warm enough to completely melt butter. Optimistically, you assume Floyd | that it lacks energy star certification only because it predates the Floyd | time when energy conservation was understood to be an issue. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||

Floyd | Floyd | Supply Closet Floyd | If a man's home is his castle, then a janitor's supply closet is his Floyd | outhouse.

Floyd | Floyd | Receptionist's Office Floyd | This office is an interesting combination between Art Deco and the Floyd | fads of the 80's.

Floyd | your boss's office; they are illuminated by lamps which were probably Floyd | tasteful at least briefly during the 70's. The smell of stale coffee Floyd | comes from the southwest.
