Below is a transcript of The Best Man, written by Rob Menke. The Best Man was released as part of the 2000 Interactive Fiction Competition, where it took fifteenth place. 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 | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Rob Menke (author) -- Rob has been interested in adventure games ever Floyd | since he played "Zork I" on an old Apple ][ back in the early '80s. He Floyd | is often tempted to add "Finished 'Stationfall' in a four-day marathon Floyd | session" to his resume. "The Best Man" is his first interactive Floyd | fiction game for use by the general public. Please direct all bug Floyd | reports to his interim mailing address robmenke@mac.com (Rob is in the Floyd | process of changing ISPs so response may be delayed.) Floyd | Floyd | Christopher Livingston (playability, details) -- That you can use Floyd | "lube" as a verb and propose to the conductor are both thanks to Floyd | Chris. All IF authors should be as lucky to have a tester as disturbed Floyd | as he is. You are encouraged to visit his web site: Floyd | [LINK] Floyd | Floyd | Mark Rosenfelder (continuity, structure) -- The closing sequence was Floyd | completely rewritten at the request of Mark, who felt its silly tone Floyd | conflicted with the rather graphic endgame.

Floyd | He's too busy babbling to pay any attention to you. Floyd | Floyd | A bright blue flash illuminates the entire west side of the airplane, Floyd | followed by the noise of a tremendous explosion. The wing is on fire! Floyd | Floyd | For a brief moment, everything is silent as the situation slowly sinks Floyd | into the minds of the passengers. Then pandemonium breaks out in the Floyd | cabin as the plane goes into a near-vertical dive. Floyd | Floyd | "It's all your fault, you know." Floyd | Floyd | Your traveling companion turns to face you, and you recoil in horror. Floyd | The left side of his face is horribly mutilated, the skin torn and Floyd | burnt. The empty eye socket stares at you accusingly. Floyd | Floyd | "Why did you have to survive? I had a family, a child... they depended Floyd | on me! You had nothing! You were nothing, and you still are nothing!" Floyd | Floyd | He leans forward, and you can smell the horrid odor of burnt flesh. Floyd | Floyd | "Nothing..." Floyd | Floyd | Crash positions be damned! You struggle at your seat belt, but the Floyd | mechanism is jammed. Floyd | Floyd | He's moving closer... reaching out... reaching toward you... the Floyd | stumps of his fingers... twitching... touching you... shaking you... Floyd | | ||||

Psychological trauma after surviving an Floyd | accident that killed so many others. Floyd | Floyd | You still can't look at a plane without hearing the screaming or Floyd | smelling the blood. The last time you tried to visit an airport-- just Floyd | to pick up someone-- you left in an ambulance, catatonic. Floyd | Floyd | Things were looking bad when the old rust bucket died this morning. Floyd | The mechanic said that the earliest he could get to it was first thing Floyd | Monday morning, and the rental agency just laughed when you asked if Floyd | you could get a car on short notice for the weekend. Flight was out of Floyd | the question for obvious reasons, but rail had existed far earlier Floyd | than planes. So you found yourself pleading your case to a sympathetic Floyd | station manager, who managed to squeeze you onto a special charter Floyd | train direct to San Diego. Floyd | Floyd | Two years ago, the wedding was postponed indefinitely by your Floyd | accident. You are determined that that will not happen again. The sun Floyd | is shining, the tracks are clear, and in a few hours you'll be the Floyd | star of the show. Come Hell or high water, nothing is going to stop Floyd | you from being...

Floyd | (the conductor) Floyd | He's a handsome man, about 50, with an immaculate uniform.

Floyd | (first taking the diamond ring) Floyd | The conductor politely refuses your offer of marriage. Besides, it's Floyd | not your ring to give. Floyd | Floyd | "Very well, you leave me no choice." Floyd | Floyd | He blows his whistle three times. Suddenly you are surrounded by burly Floyd | security guards, who escort you unceremoniously off the train. Floyd | Floyd | All for the best, it turns out.

Guess who was unlucky enough to be in Floyd | front of him when that happened? Floyd | Floyd | You better do something about this stain.

Floyd | Floyd | A flight attendant rushes up, escorts you back to your seat, clips you Floyd | in, then disappears. Floyd | Floyd | Airplane (on Seat 4B) Floyd | The airlines claim that planes are getting bigger, but you don't Floyd | believe a word of it. This cramped cabin feels about as roomy as a Floyd | culvert, and has approximately the same decor. Floyd | Floyd | There is a door south and a small kitchenette north.

Floyd | Time passes. Floyd | Floyd | A bright blue flash illuminates the entire west side of the airplane, Floyd | followed by the noise of a tremendous explosion. The wing is on fire! Floyd | Floyd | For a brief moment, everything is silent as the situation slowly sinks Floyd | into the minds of the passengers. Then pandemonium breaks out in the Floyd | cabin as the plane goes into a near-vertical dive. Floyd | Floyd | "It's all your fault, you know." Floyd | Floyd | Your traveling companion turns to face you, and you recoil in horror. Floyd | The left side of his face is horribly mutilated, the skin torn and Floyd | burnt. The empty eye socket stares at you accusingly. Floyd | Floyd | "Why did you have to survive? I had a family, a child... they depended Floyd | on me! You had nothing! You were nothing, and you still are nothing!" Floyd | Floyd | He leans forward, and you can smell the horrid odor of burnt flesh. Floyd | Floyd | "Nothing..." Floyd | Floyd | Crash positions be damned! You struggle at your seat belt, but the Floyd | mechanism is jammed. Floyd | Floyd | He's moving closer... reaching out... reaching toward you... the Floyd | stumps of his fingers... twitching... touching you... shaking you... Floyd | | ||||

The last time you tried to visit an airport-- just Floyd | to pick up someone-- you left in an ambulance, catatonic. Floyd | Floyd | Things were looking bad when the old rust bucket died this morning. Floyd | The mechanic said that the earliest he could get to it was first thing Floyd | Monday morning, and the rental agency just laughed when you asked if Floyd | you could get a car on short notice for the weekend. Flight was out of Floyd | the question for obvious reasons, but rail had existed far earlier Floyd | than planes. So you found yourself pleading your case to a sympathetic Floyd | station manager, who managed to squeeze you onto a special charter Floyd | train direct to San Diego. Floyd | Floyd | Two years ago, the wedding was postponed indefinitely by your Floyd | accident. You are determined that that will not happen again.

| DavidW says, "I think I could play it if the randomness of other players could be restrained." | ||||
| DavidW says, "I don't deal with that too well." | ||||
| DavidW says, "And it's not right for me to take it out on new players." | ||||

| DavidW says, "I'm grouchy far too often. It's not good that I'm like that." | ||||
| canadianpuzzler says, "and maybe we should try to go with different styles for different games. This game is too puzzly (not to mention too hard) and not deep enough to really work well with a poke-at-the-implementation-depth style. Last week's, on the other hand was deep enough, and thoughtful/narrative enough, that it worked much better with that style." | ||||
| canadianpuzzler says, "though it made for a long session and transcript even longer, of course." | ||||
| DavidW says, "Well, I'm not suggesting this next game." | ||||

| DavidW says, "That way people can ignore whether or not I've played a game or step on my toes or whatever." | ||||

| inuredbyheavyrain says (to Floyd), "open hatch" | ||||
Floyd | You open the metal hatch. Floyd | Floyd | Mail Car Floyd | Once inside, you realize why this car wasn't accessible from the rest Floyd | of the train: it's a mail transport car. Bags of letters and parcels Floyd | fill the shelves around you, almost completely obscuring the one light Floyd | fixture in the car. The sliding metal door east offers a possible Floyd | exit. Floyd | Floyd | In front of you stands a large metal box, closed on all sides save the Floyd | front, which is protected by a pane of glass. The rose-tinting of the Floyd | glass hints at rather than exposes the complicated machinery held Floyd | within. Floyd | Floyd | An open metal hatch reveals the sun and sky above. Floyd | Floyd | You can also see a can of lubricant here. Floyd | Floyd | > | DavidW says, "We need the red bulb ON and the hatch CLOSED --- THEN cut pane with diamond." | |||

Floyd | As you cut the glass, you hear a gentle hiss, as if gas is escaping. Floyd | Floyd | Whumpf! The white powder suddenly bursts into flame! Floyd | Floyd | The resulting fire must have set off some sensor in the bomb. The Floyd | subsequent explosion vaporizes you, the train, and a large portion of Floyd | California instantaneously. Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | *** You have died *** Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | In that game you scored 26 out of a possible 100, in 332 turns. Floyd | Floyd | Would you like to RESTART, RESTORE a saved game, UNDO your last move, Floyd | give the FULL score for that game, get a HINT on playing the game, or Floyd | QUIT?

Floyd | The rose-colored glass hampers your ability to make out details... Floyd | Floyd | A curious glass tube sticks out of a mass of electronics glued to the Floyd | back of the box. Inside the tube you see a swirling gas. A thin gold Floyd | wire spirals its way around the outside of the tube. Floyd | Floyd | A glass dish sits under a thick metal coil, which dangles from another Floyd | breadboard packed with electronics. Floyd | Floyd | In the center of the bomb is a Plexiglas box. Floyd | Floyd | Sitting on a nest of electronics within the glass box is an ominous Floyd | black sphere. Floyd | Floyd | Above the glass box is an antique pair of brass scales, curiously out Floyd | of place when compared to the high-tech components around them.

| smartgenes says, "well i had tried repeated lubrication earlier.. so obviously pour was necessary" | ||||
| DavidW asks, "You noticed the hole recloses it you take the lube tube again?" | ||||
| smartgenes says, "i assumed there were just generic messages about "cannot puncture caulking with x"" | ||||
| smartgenes says, "rather than any reclosing" | ||||
| DavidW says, "No, I mean, if you puncture the sealant with the lube's pointy tube, then take it back, the sealant recloses the hole." | ||||
| smartgenes says, "well i tried pour.. so i should use puncture" | ||||
| DavidW says, "You don't have a free hole; the hole is only there when the lube's tube is punching through it." | ||||

| smartgenes says, "i think cut is a synonym anyway" | ||||
| DavidW asks, "I don't think so. Can you 'cut' the sealant with the tube?" | ||||
| DavidW says, "(if so, then yes, 'cut' is a synonym with 'puncture')" | ||||
| smartgenes says, "dunno but when i tried "cut" with other objects it said "you can't puncture with that"" | ||||
| DavidW says, "ah. right." | ||||
| smartgenes says, "so let me think now.. i've got a hole in the caulking.. and i need to somehow remove the glass pane or change the environment inside so as not to get air to the white powder.. or remove the white powder somehow" | ||||
| DavidW says, "That's a good summary." | ||||
| smartgenes says, "i don't like the way it consistently tells me that it can't see any box" | ||||
| DavidW says, "yeah, some of the messages could be a lot better." | ||||
| smartgenes says, "yes it only accepts puncture" | ||||
| smartgenes says, "plus it also doesn't see the "gap"" | ||||
| DavidW asks, "What gap?" | ||||
| smartgenes says, "the centimeter-wide gap between the metal box and the pane" | ||||
| DavidW says, "hm. I missed mention of that entirely." | ||||
| smartgenes says, "i'm still trying to suss it.. i know that's the point where i manipulate the box or the gases or powder but how i'm not quite sure" | ||||
| smartgenes says, "after this you could send me off to Afghan for bomb disposal duty" | ||||
| DavidW says, "I'm not sure what to suggest as a hint unless you're having trouble visualizing the setup." | ||||

| DavidW says, "ha. Sadly, no." | ||||
| DavidW says, "Wolfie has a short but important role to play later." | ||||
| smartgenes says, "it would seem that manipulating the beakers etc is only possible by removing the pane" | ||||
| DavidW says, "I do remember one game, though, where you can ask an anthive to search a haystack for a needle for you." | ||||
| smartgenes says, "so i need to do something with the powder.." | ||||
| smartgenes says, "either drown it.. or alter the gases somehow" | ||||
| smartgenes says, "or remove it entirely" | ||||
| Binder asks (of DavidW), "what's the game with the anthive haystack search?" | ||||
| DavidW asks (of Binder), "I can't quite remember, maybe King's Quest III?" | ||||
| smartgenes says, "oh, it says the powder "has been allowed to get dmap"" | ||||
| smartgenes says, ""damp"" | ||||
| Binder says, "damp seems good if you want something to not burst in to flames" | ||||
| DavidW says (to Binder), "I've played so many games, they all blur together after a while." | ||||
| smartgenes says, "yes yes" | ||||
| Binder says (to DavidW), "Fair enough. I was just tickled by the idea. A very literal genetic algorithm search. Probably close to O(n)." | ||||
| smartgenes says, "i'm still using the lubricant, but i can't see it in my inventory" | ||||
| Binder says, "it's truly slippery" | ||||
| DavidW says, "That's because it's stuck inside the sealant." | ||||
| DavidW says, "Unhappily, this means it doesn't seem to be mentioned anywhere while it's there." | ||||
| smartgenes says, "oh, ok, thnks for that" | ||||
| smartgenes says, "this seems like guess the verb & noun.. pour soda onto powder, fill box with soda, etc" | ||||
| smartgenes says, "or it could be the base mixture.. but i assume that is for the beakers" | ||||
| DavidW says, "yeah, the beakers are a puzzle all by themselves." | ||||
| smartgenes says, "or hang on.. thinks a different way" | ||||
| smartgenes says, "i suppose you could tell me if i can dispose of the caustic mixture" | ||||
| DavidW says, "I'm not sure what you intend to do." | ||||
| smartgenes says, "i'll just save and give it a go" | ||||
| smartgenes says, "it doesn't look like i can empty the lubricant elsewhere" | ||||
| DavidW says, "The lubricant tube can't be opened, cut, or emptied, no." | ||||
| DavidW says, "I tried to unscrew it, but it's all one thing and doesn't separate." | ||||
| smartgenes says, "i was thinking of removing the lubricant then syphoning in some liquid that way" | ||||
| smartgenes says, "i can't see a puncture or a gap" | ||||
| smartgenes says, "well i am disappointed with that" | ||||
| DavidW says, "When the lubricant tube is punctured through the sealant, there's no visible hole since the sealant is all snug around the tube's nozzle." | ||||
| smartgenes says, "i got it" | ||||
| smartgenes says, ">pour some lubricant into box" | ||||
| DavidW asks, "You have the pane off?" | ||||
| smartgenes says, "not yet" | ||||
| smartgenes says, "i poured some lubricant into box - which box - metal = hole seals itself" | ||||
| smartgenes says, "then i squeezed some lubricant into metal box = metal box isnt open" | ||||
| smartgenes says, "hen i squeezed some lubricant - you ned to tell me what to squirt it on" | ||||
| smartgenes says, "white powder - that's not a verb i recognise" | ||||
| DavidW says, "I used the verb 'lube'." | ||||
| smartgenes exclaims, "squeeze some lubricant on powder = which do you mean - red or white : white - "you apply a liberal amount"!!!" | ||||
| smartgenes says, "finally" | ||||
| smartgenes says, "and the pane is gone" | ||||
| smartgenes says, "a pane in the ass" | ||||
| Binder says (to smartgenes), "ha" | ||||
| DavidW says, "air hisses at you, fruitlessly" | ||||
| smartgenes says, "i bet i ran out of lubricant though" | ||||
| DavidW says, "I hope not. But you'll probably need to replay this part anyway, unless you planned ahead for what's next." | ||||
| smartgenes says, "that's ok.. just to finally have the box open is gr8" | ||||
| DavidW says, "Anyway, I hope you clue into what the deal is with the rest of the bomb." | ||||
| smartgenes says, "i think i have to sort out the ph with the mixture but we'll soon see" | ||||
| smartgenes says, "why soda isn't a liquid i'm not sure" | ||||
| DavidW says, "Yeah, that's kinda odd. You can give the soda to the passengers or drink them yourself." | ||||
| DavidW says, "I'm writing up a rough notes walkthrough." | ||||
| smartgenes says, "yeh i discovered the give to passengers one aswell" | ||||
| smartgenes says, "ok back to logic.. one beaker is bright red & one is dark blue.. i need to balance the pH and presumably balance the weights aswell" | ||||
| DavidW says, "Very logical." | ||||
| DavidW says, "Balanced pH will appear purple." | ||||
| smartgenes asks, "oh really?" | ||||
| smartgenes says, "i need to brush up on my chemistry" | ||||
| smartgenes says, "i thought it was medium blue" | ||||
| DavidW says, "The feelie included with the game explains the red/blue/purple thing." | ||||
| josh_g says, "if it were real chemistry, that sounds like two different indicators in the different beakers, but maybe I've just seen too much phenolthalien (sp?) lately" | ||||
| smartgenes says, "for some reason i could only dload the text version not the pdf, but i assume it's the same" | ||||
| smartgenes says, "for another reason I continuously want to "add" crystals not "put" them" | ||||
| smartgenes says, "hmmm.. put 100ml of acid in left beaker = you can't see any such thing" | ||||
| DavidW says, "You can't specify how much liquid you're pouring." | ||||
| smartgenes says, "it said you could in the feelie thingy" | ||||

| smartgenes says, "and by batter - left beaker" | ||||
| smartgenes says, "i'm not sure it works though" | ||||
| DavidW says, "Maybe you have to put a space between the 100 and ml." | ||||
| smartgenes says, "yes, it works - but for pour not put" | ||||
| DavidW says, "huh." | ||||
| DavidW says, "I managed to solve it without needing to know that, thankfully." | ||||
| smartgenes says, "only thing is, i said pour 100ml and it only poured 75ml" | ||||

| DavidW says, "Did you waste acid earlier in the game? You only have so much." | ||||

| smartgenes says, "i dont recall using any" | ||||
