ClubFloyd Transcript:
Suspended by Michael Berlyn

As played on ifMUD on June 25, 2011

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 Suspended, written by Michael Berlyn. Suspended was released in 1983 by Infocom. You can learn more about the game by visiting the ifWiki. The game is only available commercially, and given its age it can sometimes be quite difficult to track down, but it's well worth the investment of time and money to find your own copy, because it's a true classic.

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.

#ClubFloyd Discussion
 
Jacqueline laughs at a feelie she didn't remember.
Jacqueline says, "Perhaps this is why I never solved this game."
Jacqueline asks, "Anyway, who's here?"
Jacqueline says, "Maybe I should @holler."
Gunther arrives, full of fun, but no funk.
Jacqueline hollers, "We're playing Suspended this morning, if people want to join us. If it's just me, I'll be doomed." eu says, "I'm here. After many a week away."
Gunther asks, "can you fire it up real quick?"
Ellison arrives, ready to play with the toys. Jacqueline says, "Hi, eu"
djfletch says, "I too am here"
Jacqueline says (to Gunther), "Well, it's time to start anyway."
Ellison says, "I too am there"
Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "load suspended"

Jacqueline says, "So, my vote is that we have a driver when we want one, otherwise let people poke."
Jacqueline asks, "Is this an okay approach?"
inuredbyheavyrain arrives, ready to play with the toys. eu says, "Sure."
inuredbyheavyrain asks, "What?"
Jacqueline says (to Inured), "@recap the channel and the room."
Jacqueline says, "@recap toyshop"
Jacqueline says, "@recap clubfloyd"
Jacqueline says, "Probably 200 on each."

Gunther says, "a quick primer: we have a number of robots, each of which does one thing"
eu asks, "What does FC stand for??"
Alex says (to eu), "Awwwk! Word on the street is that FC is Family Circus, which is this corknut has been drawn by Billy, age 6."
Jacqueline says, "Right. And Iris is our eyes, but she's broken."
eu asks, "Er, just one ?"
Gunther says, "Fsomething Control"
inuredbyheavyrain asks, "Is it possible to recap more than 10 lines at a time?"
eu says (to inuredbyheavyrain), "#recap #club = 200"
Ellison says, "I don't think Iris is broken, but we have to switch to her first"

eu asks, "There is some randomness to this one, no?"
Gunther says, "no"
eu says, "Oh."
Ellison says, "this is kind of the first disaster survival game"
djfletch says (to Floyd), "i"
Floyd | I can't hear a thing in my extension.

Jacqueline says (to eu), "I think you can mess with the settings to make things harder, which I didn't know until reading the link Ellison put on the bb. But yeah, I don't think it's random."
Ellison says, "there are timed things that happen X moves in, different for each setting"
Jacqueline says, "If we hit those timed things, we can just restore and do things more carefully."
Jacqueline clears the save counter.
djfletch says (to Floyd), "waldo, look"
Floyd | FC: Cryolink established to Waldo.
Floyd | WALDO: Internal map reference -- Gamma Repair
Floyd | I have reached the south end of this area. The walkway ends here.
Floyd | The walkway is not in motion.

Gunther has disconnected.
Gunther has connected.
Gunther disappears through an invisible gap in the MUD. You think you may have heard the sounds of chatting before the gap closed again.
Gunther arrives, full of neither funk nor fun. djfletch says, "looks the same"

Jacqueline says, "I think once we establish connection to a bot we keep it, so the WALDO, DO WHATEVER thing is only necessary to establish contact."
inuredbyheavyrain lets out a scream and punches the midterm monster as hard as it can in the gut. The monster's stomach gurgles and then it spews a shower of paper onto it.
djfletch says (to Floyd), "i"
Floyd | I cannot sense a thing in my grasping extensions.

Ellison says, "is it? I kind of figured that maybe I hadn't beaten it back in the day because of my short attention span and the fact that turns took a bit longer back then"
Allen says, "it takes a lot of replaying"
Jacqueline says, "It's a super hard game, yes."
Jacqueline says, "I kept beating my head against it for years as a kid."
Allen says, "I won it back in the day, and played and replayed to get the best score possible"
Allen says, "it took a long time"
Allen says, "I had lots of notes written on paper"
Ellison asks, "well, true, but a winning transcript is less than 40 moves, right?"
inuredbyheavyrain says (to Floyd), "When I try to say something, it says I do not have a default channel set. How do I set that, please?"
Floyd | FC: I don't know the word 'when'.

Ellison says, "nothing can stop us now!"
Allen | [LINK]
inuredbyheavyrain says, "hello"
inuredbyheavyrain says, "Thanks"
Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "look up iris"
Floyd | FC: I don't understand that sentence.
Floyd |

Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "ask about iris"
Floyd | AP: Iris can be best used to monitor the monitors surrounding the
Floyd | Central Chamber.
Floyd | Waldo should remove the maintenance panel and replace all faulty chips.
Floyd |

inuredbyheavyrain asks, "Does the damage to the cooling system mean that we can only use the robots a limited number of times before they overheat?"
Jacqueline asks, "So, get Waldo to Iris?"
Allen says, "it'll be hard to play if you don't have someone keep personal track of where all the robots are."
eu says (to Jacqueline), "Yep."
Ellison says, "sounds good"
Jacqueline says (to ibhr), "I think they mean the cooling systems for the planet or the station, not the bots. I don't recall the bots themselves overheating, but plenty of other things are going to go wrong."
Allen says, "having them report their status and location uses up a turn"
Ellison says, "well, we also have forced undo"
Jacqueline asks, "So... Where's Waldo?"
Jacqueline says, "I thought I'd just get that question out of the way."
Alex says (to Jacqueline), "Awwwk! Word on the street is that Waldo is hiding in the Monkey Cage in the Zoo scene."
Allen arrives, full of neither funk nor fun.
Gerynar arrives, full of neither funk nor fun. Allen says (to Jacqueline), "heh"
Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "waldo, go to iris"
Floyd | FC: Cryolink established to Waldo.
Floyd | FC: Iris's location: Weather Monitors. Establishing path...
Floyd | WALDO: I'm on my way. Expect a report on arrival.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
eu shakes his head.
Jacqueline says, "Okay, except Waldo will get there and probably need some tool that's on the other side of the complex."
eu says, "Oh, so we can have multiple tasks happening at once."
Ellison says, "huh, didn't remember this game had any sort of path finding"
Jacqueline says (to eu), "Yeah"
eu says, "Handy."
Jacqueline says (to Ellison), "Yeah, it existed in, like, 1983, and then we forgot about path finding until 2005 or something."
Jacqueline says, "Silly, tht."
Jacqueline says, "er, that."
Jacqueline says, "Actually, 2005 is unfair, it was probably earlier than that. But it's still nowhere near standard."
Ellison says, "hey, they had pathfinding in Magnetic Scrolls game. you'd know that if you were there last week!"
Jacqueline says (to Ell), "I was there for part I, to be fair. Last Saturday I was busy looking at ice bergs."
Jacqueline says, "Anyway."
Ellison says, "(we didn't actually use it last week, I don't think)"
djfletch says, "ah, we are supposed to touch things with poet"
djfletch says (to Floyd), "poet, l"
Floyd | FC: Cryolink established to Poet.
Floyd | POET: Internal map reference -- Central Chamber
Floyd | It hops and skips and leaves a bit, and can't decide if it should quit.

Jacqueline says (to Ellison), "So you're just being mean to me. Got it."
Roger arrives, full of neither funk nor fun. Ellison says, "I'll pathfind a way to make it up to you"
Jacqueline says (to djf), "You like to touch yourself with your sensory pads amatng, but now really isn't the time."
Allen says, "wish I could stay for this one, but I gotta go pick up a kitty"
Allen says (to Ellison), "hee"
Jacqueline says (to Ellison), "heh"
inuredbyheavyrain I wonder if we are human or a computer? Only one way to learn.
inuredbyheavyrain says (to Floyd), "kill me"
Floyd | I'll open the sweet home and see what I can do.
Floyd | Okey Dokey. Man, you look like death warmed over!
Floyd | As the door swings open you are blinded by intense light and incredible
Floyd | pain. Just before everything overloads and you fade from existence, you
Floyd | can make out a shape outside, holding onto the door of the cylinder,
Floyd | and then everything goes dark.

Floyd asks, "That game over already? It was just getting good. Wanna play another?" eu says, "Eep."
inuredbyheavyrain says (to Floyd), "undo"
Floyd says (to inuredbyheavyrain), "Floyd doesn't know that trick." Jacqueline says, "ibhr Have you looked at any of the feelies we posted to the bb."
inuredbyheavyrain says, "Still unclear"
Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "/undo"
Floyd says (to Jacqueline), "Floyd doesn't know that trick." eu says, "The game already quit."
Jacqueline says, "Nice, if we die it just ends, no undo."
inuredbyheavyrain asks, "Where are the feelies?"
Alex says (to inuredbyheavyrain), "Awwwk! Word on the street is that feelies is feelies.org, which is [LINK]"
Jacqueline says (to ibhr), "Look at the bb"

Ellison says, "this game isn't called Hanging With Gregory Franklin, after all"
Jacqueline says (to Whiz), "That is not helpful."
inuredbyheavyrain says, "Microsurgery could make for an interesting puzzle."

djfletch asks, "what does the index peripheral do?"
eu asks, "Technical peripheral?"
djfletch says, "or that"
eu says, "Or that."
Jacqueline asks, "So, have poet look for the extension?"
eu says, "Heh."
eu says (to Jacqueline), "Also a possibility."
Jacqueline asks, "Or see if it was in the room where Waldo started by starting over, and quiz Whiz about history while we're having Waldo look around?"
Ellison says, "without knowing for certain, I'd think they say he has three extensions so that means he can hold three items"
inuredbyheavyrain asks, "What happens if the game includes an ASCII minigame?"

inuredbyheavyrain asks, "I wonder if after restarting, we can save turns by avoiding the index, or we have to gain the information before we can use it?"
Jacqueline says (to Allen), "Well, I guess it's hinty, but it's hinty in a way you'd like things to be hinty if you were really in this situation. Like, it tells you what needs to be done, but not how to do oit."

Ellison says, "actually, while I was silent before, I was trying to use my paint program to put all of the robots in another layer so I could move them around my map but my paint program skills are lacking"
Jacqueline says, "So, um, yeah. From the card: 'The consequences of disorganization during a crisis were spelled out to you in graphic detail during your briefing. Let this reminder suffice: you must remain continually aware of your robots' precise locations. Cycles spent determining your robot's whereabouts will only increase the number of surface-side casualties. For this reason, you are strongly advised to utilize this schematic and the disks (symbolized below) to track your robots' movements."
Jacqueline says (to Ellison), "I was thinking of doing that in Photoshop, which allows layers."

eu says, "The one we removed was called a rough device."
eu says, "So we matched rough with rough."
djfletch says, "and also Poet called it brain plain which might mean brain 1"
djfletch says, "anyway I think I might have wasted some moves because Waldo was already in his destination"
djfletch asks, "shall we carry on with the Iris-fixing anyway?"
Jacqueline cuts out the little discs.
Ellison says, "ah, gotcha"
eu says, "We might want to continue a little bit longer, just so we know what useful things we could be doing while waldo is in transit."
eu says, "I don't know."
Ellison says, "that is a good idea"
Ellison says, "turn efficiency is all the rage in a game like this"
Jacqueline says, "Fwiw, I'm ready to go with tracking movements."
eu exclaims (at Jacqueline), "Yay!"
Ellison says (to Jacqueline), "well, since Waldo is in transit, let's keep asking him his location so your map is accurate"
Jacqueline says, "So if you want to restart or go back or do an ARR and then undo or whatever, that would be cool."
Ellison says, "priorities!"
Jacqueline says (to Ellison), "snrk"

djfletch says, "from the bit about the weather system in the manual, the weather is controlled by the filtering computers, so my theory is we have to fix one of those"
Jacqueline asks, "Off the Skywalk?"
Jacqueline says, "Well, the FCs are beyond the acid leak"
Jacqueline says, "So that would mean figuring out the acid leak first."
Jacqueline says, "But it's coming out of the cavernous ceiling, and that seems... difficult."

djfletch says, "weird, it accepted it but Iris still tried to do it"
Jacqueline says, "Huh. Iris did get pinged somehow."
Jacqueline says, "Oh well."
Jacqueline says, "Do you have the manual handy? (I'm on a different computer than yesterday)"
djfletch says, "yes, got it here"
Jacqueline asks, "Is there a way to speak to all but Iris?"
Jacqueline says, "Like, do I say Sensa and Waldo and Whiz and..."
djfletch says, "it says "auda, waldo, look" will work"
Jacqueline says, "Okay."
djfletch says, "also "both sensa and iris" to make them do something together"
Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "iris, go to hydroponics monitors"

Floyd | WHIZ: Internal map reference -- Hydroponics Control Area
Floyd | I'm in the Hydroponics Control area. CLC indicates that the three
Floyd | levers on the small panel are for mixing nutrient levels. More data on
Floyd | levers available at the CLC Technical Peripheral.
Floyd | The first lever is set to 70, the second lever is set to 30, and the
Floyd | third lever is set to 50.
