  
 
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: A Simple Theft 1 and A Simple Theft 2: A Simple Theftier, both written by Mark J. Musante. A Simple Theft 1 was released in 1999 to help encourage more game releases in conjunction with the IF Review Conspiracy. A Simple Theft 2: A Simple Theftier was released in 2010 as an extra on the DVD Get Lamp. You can learn more about these games, including how to download them, by visiting Mark Musante's website.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 | tadsr - A text-only TADS 2.5.10 Interpreter. Floyd | Copyright (c) 1993, 2006 by Michael J. Roberts. Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Many years ago, when the Iron Branch was passed down from king to Floyd | king (instead of being a pile of rust in an overadorned urn), when Floyd | dragons walked the earth (instead of flying about like the maniacs Floyd | they are now), when Strongle was the God of Gods (instead of being, Floyd | well, I think the polite term is 'deposed')... back when all of that Floyd | was taking place, magic had yet to be conquered by mere mortal man. Floyd | Floyd | What's that got to do with you, you ask? Well, since you're an Floyd | apprentice to one of those men who are trying to figure out how magic Floyd | works, you get to do all the dirty deeds. Apparently, Apaman, the Floyd | loser you're apprenticed to, has gotten it into his head that the Floyd | Hestron (one of the jewels in the Sceptre of Charlten, a symbol of the Floyd | power of the Prince of Urf) is one of the keys to unlocking the Floyd | secrets. Floyd | Floyd | He was kind enough to drag you to the Prince's castle, push you Floyd | into the coal chute, and tell you not to bother coming out without the Floyd | Hestron in your posession. Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | A Simple Theft: An interactive larceny Floyd | Copyright 1999-2000 by Mark J. Musante. All Rights Reserved Floyd | Serial No. 20000810, Release 3 Floyd | Developed with TADS, the Text Adventure Development System. Floyd | Floyd | Type 'credits' to see credits. Floyd | Floyd | Coal Cellar Floyd | This cellar is dark -- mostly due to the coal dust which is Floyd | everywhere. A faint light comes through an open doorway to the north. Floyd | Floyd | You're startled briefly as the end of a rope pops out of the coal Floyd | chute. But you pause and check your inventory, making sure you still Floyd | have the lockpick and the bag. Floyd | Floyd | > | DavidW says, "yay" | |||
| genericgeekgirl says, "w00t" | ||||
| DavidW says, "Ah yes, the Charlten Hestron." | ||||
| cyberskunk says, "the last time i was pushed down a chute and offered a rope, i was stuck in Augmented Fourth for three hours." | ||||
| genericgeekgirl asks, "Is someone driving?" | ||||
| DavidW says (to ggg), "Not me. I've played this one." | ||||
| cyberskunk says, "not i. i'm new." | ||||
| Jacqueline says, "I don't know that a driver is required. Etiquette is just that we don't change locations without some consensus." | ||||
| Jacqueline clears the save counter. | genericgeekgirl says, "Just checking before I jumped in. Since nobody had said anything yet :)" | |||
| VictorGijsbers asks, "You give a command just by typing it in the main room?" | ||||
| Jacqueline says, "I think unless we hit something that seems like a timer, we can all play." | ||||
| genericgeekgirl says (to VictorGijsbers), "'f whatever'" | cyberskunk says, "i think you type 'f <command>'" | |||
| DavidW says, "I don't think we need a driver for the early part of this game. It's been awhile." | ||||
| VictorGijsbers says (to Floyd), "x me" | ||||
Floyd | You look about the same as always. Floyd | Floyd | > | Jacqueline says (to Victor), "Yeah - what they said." | |||
| cyberskunk says (to Floyd), "inv" | ||||
Floyd | I don't know the word "inv". Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| genericgeekgirl says (to Floyd), "i" | ||||
Floyd | You have a lockpick and a bag. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| genericgeekgirl says (to Floyd), "x bag" | ||||
Floyd | It's a small black bag. Apaman made it very clear that you were to Floyd | put the Hestron in this bag before bringing it out of the castle. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| cyberskunk says (to Floyd), "open bag" | ||||
Floyd | The bag is always open. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "oopen bag" | ||||
Floyd | I don't know the word "oopen". Floyd | Floyd | > | Jacqueline says, "oops heh" | |||
| cyberskunk says, "okay. that's our LOOT SACK." | ||||
| Jacqueline says, "Yeah" | ||||
| Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "x pick" | ||||
Floyd | It's your trusty lockpick. Apaman said it would come in handy in the Floyd | castle. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| genericgeekgirl says (to Floyd), "take rope" | ||||
Floyd | Apaman is at the other end of it and, right now, it's your only means Floyd | of escape. Those two facts taken together are enough for you to want Floyd | to leave the rope right where it is. Floyd | Floyd | > | genericgeekgirl says, "oh. heh" | |||
| cyberskunk says, "so lockpick and an empty sack. if we had daggers this would be nethack." | ||||
| Jacqueline asks, "n?" | ||||
| Alex says (to Jacqueline), "Awwwk! Word on the street is that N is part of 'no'. So which part of 'no' don't you understand." | ||||
| genericgeekgirl says (to Floyd), "n" | ||||
Floyd | Dimly Lit Hallway Floyd | This hallway runs east-west under the castle. The only light comes Floyd | from far to the east, where you can hear noises. To the south is an Floyd | open doorway through which the smell of coal seeps; to the west is Floyd | nothing but inky darkness. Floyd | You see a coal shovel here. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| genericgeekgirl says (to Floyd), "take shovel" | ||||
Floyd | Taken. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| Atrilla says (to Floyd), "search coal" | ||||
Floyd | You find nothing of interest. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| cyberskunk says (to Floyd), "x shovel" | ||||
Floyd | It's used for shovelling coal. Floyd | Floyd | > | genericgeekgirl says, "Hey, inky is here ;)" | |||
| VictorGijsbers says (to Floyd), "shovel coal" | ||||
Floyd | (with the coal shovel) Floyd | I don't know how to dig in the coal shovel. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||

Floyd | Coal Cellar Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| VictorGijsbers says (to Floyd), "shovel coal" | ||||
Floyd | (with the coal shovel) Floyd | You dig around in the coal a bit, but find nothing. Floyd | Floyd | > | genericgeekgirl says, "Oh. I read that as coat cellar for a moment." | |||
| Atrilla asks, "Verbose?" | ||||
| Jacqueline says, "I thought Mark Musante would be here." | ||||
| Jacqueline says (to Atrilla), "Sure." | ||||
| Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "verbose" | ||||
Floyd | Okay, now in VERBOSE mode. Floyd | Coal Cellar Floyd | This cellar is dark -- mostly due to the coal dust which is Floyd | everywhere. A faint light comes through an open doorway to the north. Floyd | Dangling from the coal chute in the corner is a dirty rope. Floyd | Floyd | > | VictorGijsbers says, "Verbose." | |||
| genericgeekgirl says, "Ok. I'm already going in circles. Sorry." | ||||
| genericgeekgirl says (to Floyd), "n" | ||||

Floyd | Storage Room Floyd | This room is piled high with various trinkets and whatnot that the Floyd | kings of old (and of new) have gotten as gifts from visiting nobles. Floyd | Of course they're worth fortunes, all. But what good is a fortune to Floyd | a king? Floyd | A small door in the north wall catches your eye, however. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| WeirdBeard arrives, full of fun and funk. | ||||
| Atrilla says (to Floyd), "x me" | ||||
Floyd | You look about the same as always. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| genericgeekgirl says (to Floyd), "take all" | ||||
Floyd | I don't see what you're referring to. Floyd | Floyd | > | genericgeekgirl says, "darn. want shinies" | |||
| VictorGijsbers says (to Floyd), "x gifts" | ||||
Floyd | Everything here is so incredibly valuable, you couldn't even guess as Floyd | to its worth. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||

Floyd | Everything here is so incredibly valuable, you couldn't even guess as Floyd | to its worth. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||

Floyd | You wonder what sort of things need to be locked away, given the Floyd | extreme value which lies all around you. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||

Floyd | You wonder what sort of things need to be locked away, given the Floyd | extreme value which lies all around you. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||

Floyd | The trinkets aren't important. Floyd | Floyd | > | DavidW says, "It's only the Hestron we're meant to steal." | |||
| genericgeekgirl says (to Floyd), "pick lock" | ||||
Floyd | (with the lockpick) Floyd | You try as best you can, but the lock remains impervious to your Floyd | efforts. Must be some lock. Floyd | Floyd | > | cyberskunk says, "i bet the door is locked. let's pick i--damn it." | |||
| genericgeekgirl says (to Floyd), "x lock" | ||||
Floyd | You wonder what sort of things need to be locked away, given the Floyd | extreme value which lies all around you. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||

Floyd | I don't know the word "kick". Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||

| VictorGijsbers says (to Floyd), "attack door" | ||||
Floyd | (with the coal shovel) Floyd | You attack the door with all your might, but you get nowhere. Floyd | Floyd | > | DavidW says, "Perhaps there's a key somewhere." | |||
| VictorGijsbers asks, "Probably need a key?" | ||||
| cyberskunk says, "back east till we work that out, yeah" | ||||
| Jacqueline asks, "Okay, where's our newspaper?" | ||||
| genericgeekgirl says (to Floyd), "x lockpick" | ||||
Floyd | It's your trusty lockpick. Apaman said it would come in handy in the Floyd | castle. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||

Floyd | The trinkets aren't important. Floyd | Floyd | > | genericgeekgirl says, "probably underneath some coal or something" | |||
| DavidW says, "I suspect this game is old and rustic and missing several modern niceties." | ||||
| genericgeekgirl asks, "out?" | ||||
| Atrilla says, "Shure." | ||||

Floyd | You can't go that way. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||

Floyd | Guard Room Floyd | This room is rather small, considering it has to fit a table and Floyd | chairs. Eastward is a doorway, and a hallway stretches out to the Floyd | west. Floyd | A burly guard is here. Floyd | The guard swings around towards you and draws his sword! Floyd | Floyd | > | Jacqueline says, "Hm, actually, can take the laptop with me. D'uh" | |||
| DavidW says, "oopsie" | ||||
| genericgeekgirl says, "eek" | ||||
| cyberskunk exclaims, "hit him with the shovel!" | ||||
| genericgeekgirl says (to Floyd), "x guard" | ||||
Floyd | A short, stout man. He eyes you warily. The guard brings his sword Floyd | up, swings it down and slices you through! Floyd | Floyd | *** You have been sliced through. *** Floyd | Floyd | In a total of 32 turns, you have achieved a score of 0 points out of a Floyd | possible 25.

Floyd | You swing the shovel at the guard and strike a lucky blow! The guard Floyd | falls down dead, his sword clattering to the ground. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||

| Jacqueline says (to GGG), "Not that I disagree with your moving just now, but it's important to make sure other people are okay with leaving the room before you go, in case they're about to examine or otherwise interact with an object in the room." | ||||
| genericgeekgirl says (to Floyd), "search guard" | ||||
Floyd | Ugh. You fiddle around in the guard's clothing, but find nothing of Floyd | interest. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| cyberskunk says (to Floyd), "x table" | ||||
Floyd | The tables and chairs are for the guards' use only. Of course, the Floyd | only guard that you've seen is hardly in need of them any longer. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||

Floyd | Welcome to the Cheap Glk Implementation, library version 0.9.0. Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Many years ago, when the Iron Branch was passed down from king to king Floyd | (instead of being a pile of rust in an overadorned urn), when dragons Floyd | walked the earth (instead of flying about like the maniacs they are Floyd | now), when Strongle was the God of Gods (instead of being, well, I Floyd | think the polite term is "deposed")... back when all of that was Floyd | taking place, magic had yet to be conquered by mere mortal man. Floyd | Floyd | What's that got to do with you, you ask? Well, since you're an Floyd | apprentice to one of those men who are trying to figure out how magic Floyd | works, you get to do all the dirty deeds. Floyd | Floyd | A few weeks ago, Apaman (the loser you're apprenticed to) had sent you Floyd | to recover the Hestron (one of the jewels in the Sceptre of Charlten). Floyd | Despite your success on that mission, Apaman is not treating you any Floyd | better. Your best guess is that many of the Hestron's secrets remain Floyd | hidden to him, and he's taking his frustrations out on the nearest Floyd | convenient target. Floyd | Floyd | Now he's learnt about something that may help him unlock those Floyd | secrets, and has sent you on another mission: to retrieve the sky rock Floyd | from the north tower of Fossen Festning, a fortress built into the Floyd | side of a mountain beside a large waterfall. All you've brought with Floyd | you is a dark cloak and an old grappling hook that Apaman was generous Floyd | enough to loan to you. All you need to bring out is the sky rock. Floyd | Floyd | Good luck with that. Floyd | Floyd | A Simple Theft 2: A Simple Theftier Floyd | An Interactive Larceny by Mark J.

Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Beneath the North Tower Floyd | A dark tower rises high above you, lit dimly in the cloud-obscured Floyd | moonlight.

Floyd | The tower is made of a bright, almost perfectly white, stone. The Floyd | scant moonlight that filters through the thin clouds overhead allows Floyd | you to just make out its shape. Far above you is the lowest window in Floyd | the tower, just wide enough for an archer to use. There don't appear Floyd | to be any entrances on this side, and it appears too dangerous, too Floyd | well-lit, to walk around it to the north. Floyd | Floyd | > | genericgeekgirl asks, "s?" | |||

| VictorGijsbers says (to Floyd), "throw hook at window" | ||||
Floyd | You expertly spin the hook on its rope, gathering momentum, and Floyd | release! The hook noisily clatters against the side of the tower, well Floyd | below the window, and falls with a thud to the ground. The rope isn't Floyd | long enough.

It starts sliding down, but it catches on a small Floyd | protrusion of rock! The rope comes to a rest on the side of the Floyd | cliff. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| cyberskunk says (to Floyd), "climb rope" | ||||
Floyd | Grabbing the end of the rope, you offer up a silent and very quick Floyd | prayer. You pull the rope taut and make your way up the cliff's face. Floyd | Upon reaching the top of the rope, you wriggle the grappling hook free Floyd | of the cliff and look around. Floyd | Floyd | Cliff Face Floyd | Too far down below is the ground. The wind whips mercilessly up here, Floyd | and the sound of the waterfall is slightly louder, though still Floyd | somewhat muted. Although you can no longer see the archer slot, you're Floyd | much closer to the top than you were before. The peak of the tower is Floyd | visible now, and you can see a ring of iron-barred windows around the Floyd | top. Floyd | Floyd | You'd rather not jump down from this height. Floyd | Floyd | [Your score has just gone up by five points.] Floyd | Floyd | > | DavidW says, "hoorays" | |||
| cyberskunk says, "see? batman." | ||||
| VictorGijsbers says (to Floyd), "throw hook at windows" | ||||
Floyd | You expertly spin the hook on its rope, gathering momentum, and Floyd | release! The hook sails towards the windows, but stops far short of Floyd | them. The hook seems to pause in mid-air at the end of the rope Floyd | before, to your horror, it falls slowly down and clanks loudly against Floyd | the base of the cliff below you. Scraping and clunking, you drag the Floyd | hook up along the cliff face until it's back in your hands. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "x peak" | ||||
Floyd | It looks like a conical hat on top of the tower. Floyd | Floyd | > | VictorGijsbers asks, "Maybe wait a bit to see if no guards come around?" | |||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "x windows" | ||||
Floyd | They encircle the top, just where the conical roof meets the walls of Floyd | the tower. They were too far up to see from the ground level and, Floyd | using your expert eye, you judge that they're too far for your Floyd | grappling hook to reach even from here.. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| cyberskunk says (to Floyd), "hide" | ||||
Floyd | That's not a verb I recognise. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "x cliff" | ||||
Floyd | Up here, the cliff is more natural, with protrusions and lumps. It Floyd | doesn't appear to be as carefully sculpted as it is down below. Floyd | Floyd | > | cyberskunk says, "not a lot to see yet [LINK]" | |||
| VictorGijsbers says (to Floyd), "climb cliff" | ||||
Floyd | Enough protrusions and bumps are on the cliff's face now that you can Floyd | get a decent purchase on them. You climb higher beside the tower, Floyd | although the cliff is curving away from it now as you approach the Floyd | top. Floyd | Floyd | Near The Top Floyd | You're almost level with the top of the tower now, although the cliff Floyd | side has curved rather far away from it. Although the side of the Floyd | mountain isn't nearly level at this point, it has levelled off enough Floyd | that trees are starting to find places to grow in the cracks and Floyd | crevices. Right beside you here is a particularly tall oak. Floyd | Floyd | > | genericgeekgirl asks, "can we maybe just climb?" | |||
| genericgeekgirl says (to Floyd), "x tree" | ||||
Floyd | Firmly rooted here is a large oak tree, hanging out over the cliff. Floyd | Floyd | > | cyberskunk asks, "climb the oak and bend it over?" | |||
| cyberskunk says (to Floyd), "climb oak" | ||||
Floyd | You shimmy up the tree. Floyd | Floyd | Treetop Floyd | Out here on a branch near the tower, the wind is brutal. One slip, and Floyd | you'll fall to certain death. Far, far below is where you started, but Floyd | you try not to think about that. Floyd | Floyd | > | VictorGijsbers exclaims, "Yeah, use the grappling hook and rope to turn the tree into a catapult!" | |||
| cyberskunk says, "there's your shimming." | ||||
| genericgeekgirl says, "yay" | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "x tower" | ||||
Floyd | The top of the tower has a conical roof, immediately below which the Floyd | tower is ringed with iron-barred windows. You can't really reach the Floyd | tower from here, but you should be close enough for that grappling Floyd | hook. You hope. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| genericgeekgirl says (to Floyd), "think about death" | ||||
Floyd | I only understood you as far as wanting to think. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| VictorGijsbers says (to Floyd), "throw hook at windows" | ||||
Floyd | You expertly spin the hook on its rope, gathering momentum, and Floyd | release. The hook clanks against the windows and catches! You grab Floyd | onto the rope with your hands, and grab onto the branch with your Floyd | feet, and slowly pull yourself towards the tower. Once you're within Floyd | reach of the iron bars, you feel around them for a latch, releasing Floyd | it. One set of bars swings inwards, and you pull yourself through, Floyd | letting go of the branch. Floyd | Floyd | Before closing the bars again, you retrieve your grappling hook. Floyd | Floyd | Top Floor Floyd | This is a dim room and, from the smell of it, very dusty as well. The Floyd | only light comes in through the windows, casting a dull grey sheen Floyd | across everything you see. The room is sparsely appointed, with a cot Floyd | along one wall and a small cupboard near it. A wall divides the Floyd | tower, turning this room into a semicircle, putting you in the half Floyd | that faces to the west. There is a ring set into the floor, near to Floyd | the western wall.

Floyd | The ring appears to be attached to a trap door. Floyd | Floyd | You slip into a shadow, remaining as still as can be. Floyd | Floyd | > | VictorGijsbers says, "Sing." | |||

Floyd | With the black clothing this person is wearing, it's hard to discern Floyd | anything, really. Other than, y'know, being all human-shaped and Floyd | stuff. Floyd | Floyd | You freeze in place as you watch the figure glide quietly through the Floyd | room feeling along the wall. Suddenly, it stops, taps gently on one Floyd | of the stones in the wall, and wiggles it free. It's the star rock! Floyd | Oh no. Floyd | Floyd | > | genericgeekgirl says, "No!

Floyd | You're lucky that Apaman has let you have at least this much Floyd | equipment, even if he wouldn't let you bring a sword or even a knife. Floyd | It is attached to a modest length of rope. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||

Floyd | That's not a verb I recognise. Floyd | Floyd | > | DavidW says, "huh" | |||

| VictorGijsbers says (to Floyd), "u" | ||||
Floyd | It was difficult enough trying to get down past all those guards, and Floyd | you want to do it again? Talk about living dangerously... Floyd | Floyd | Top Floor Floyd | This is a dim room and, from the smell of it, very dusty as well. The Floyd | only light comes in through the windows, casting a dull grey sheen Floyd | across everything you see. The room is sparsely appointed, with a cot Floyd | along one wall and a small cupboard near it. A wall divides the Floyd | tower, turning this room into a semicircle, putting you in the half Floyd | that faces to the west. There is an open trap door in the floor. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "search wall" | ||||
Floyd | You look all over the wall, but you don't see anything unusual. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||

Floyd | You've already got the rock. Apaman is waiting for you, and you don't Floyd | have time to fool around. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "x windows" | ||||
Floyd | It's hard to see out of the windows, given the dim moonlight. Nothing Floyd | much is out there but the wind. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||

Floyd | In addition to all the hard work done by Graham Nelson, Emily Short, Floyd | and countless others for Inform 7, I also wish to thank to Jon Ingold Floyd | for his Far Away extension. Floyd | Floyd | A big betatesting thank you goes to Marius M?ller, Dan Shiovitz, Floyd | Admiral Jota, and a grammarian who wishes to remain anonymous.

| VictorGijsbers says (to Floyd), "d" | ||||
Floyd | You slip through the trap door. Precious star rock in hand, you race Floyd | your way down to the bottom of the tower. This is easier than you had Floyd | anticipated as there are far fewer guards than Apaman had led you to Floyd | believe. Floyd | Floyd | In any case, it's not an easy task, getting to the bottom of the Floyd | tower. You manage to avoid the guards somehow using your cleverness, Floyd | the cloak, and some convenient nooks and crannies. Floyd | Floyd | Guard Room Floyd | You're on the ground floor of the north tower now, and this is clearly Floyd | meant to be where men and women prepare for guard duty. Bunk beds Floyd | line the northern wall, and assorted weaponry hangs on the south wall. Floyd | The staircase you came down is on the far wall, and you see the exit Floyd | to the tower to the east. Floyd | Floyd | You can see an unconscious black-clad figure here. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
| VictorGijsbers says (to Floyd), "e" | ||||
Floyd | You're fairly certain you can sneak out of here before that thief Floyd | wakes up. Floyd | Floyd | Northern Courtyard Floyd | Although this is a much smaller courtyard than the main one by the Floyd | entrance, it is still large enough to assemble quite a few troops. Floyd | Normally, this place would be bustling with activity, but this late at Floyd | night most everyone is asleep. You can head back into the tower to the Floyd | west, or go around the tower to the south. Floyd | Floyd | > | canadianpuzzler says, "I still think the ending involves a way out other than the courtyard. We can climb the cliff again." | |||
| canadianpuzzler says, "For that matter, we still haven't seen the waterfall." | ||||
