ClubFloyd Transcript: 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 the first of two transcripts of the games in the penultimate not numbered New Year's Speed IF, written by various authors (the second session transcript can be found here). You can learn more about these games, including how to download them, by visiting the ifWiki. If you would like to jump straight to a particular game in the transcript, please click its title: Birth of Mind by Justin de Visine Ragnarok: Twilight of the Gods by Admiral Jota Being the Ending of the Beginning by Chris Conley Danse Nocturne by Eggerich von Eggermond Stupid Creek. Stupid Christmas by Troy Jones III Dash Slapney, Patrol Leader by Andrew Schultz 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. |
Jacqueline says, "Big day on ClubFloyd today." | ||||
Jacqueline says, "It occurs to me that I got the games Thurs/Fri, and uploaded, them, but really should have posted to the RSS once I knew that we were, in fact, doing New Year's stuff." | ||||
Jacqueline says, "Twelve games today (or today and next week, depending on how things go)." | ||||
ChrisC asks, "I thought Tales said 13?" | ||||
Jacqueline says, "He told me 13, too, and there were 13 files, but one of them, I think, was two copies of the same game, one in z-code, one the raw Inform code." | ||||
ChrisC says, "have there been ridiculously big speedif entries in the past? this does seem like an unusually large crop too" | ||||
DavidW says, "We've had large crops before, but not often or recently." | ||||
Jacqueline says, "Well, there were quite a few for the speed I ran this summer." | ||||
DavidW says, "The New Language Indigo one." | ||||
Tale says, "Hello, cats and kittens" | ||||
DavidW says, "meow meow meow" | ||||
ChrisC says, "The other one I participated in! :)" | ||||
Tale says, "I might have miscounted the files, yeah" | ||||
Tale says, "Someone gave me the source to his game, so I may have counted that" | ||||
Tale says, "The last days were crazily busy" | ||||
Jacqueline says, "I think INLS got ten." | ||||
Jacqueline says (to Tale), "Ah, okay." | ||||
Tale asks, "You do have mine, right?" | ||||
Jacqueline says, "Yep" | ||||
Jacqueline says, "They're all on there with a prefix of psi" | ||||
Jacqueline says, "Which is why you can't find it if you whisper for, say, t games." | ||||
DavidW asks, "Why 'psi'?" | ||||
Jacqueline says (to DW), "Penultimate Speed=IF." | ||||
Tale says, "The list looks good" | ||||
ChrisC asks, "why is it called penultimate, anyway? as if there's only going to be one more?" | ||||
Jacqueline says, "If we want to after we play, we can have someone change the names on Floyd, but I like having them all in one spot. It's just easier on days like this." | ||||
Tale says, "penultimate not numbered New Year's Speed IF is the full title" | ||||
Jacqueline says, "Right. Not penultimate speed-IF, but penultimate New Year's speed." | ||||
vimes says, "Good moning, folks." | ||||
Jacqueline exclaims, "G'morning!" | ||||
Tale says, "Hey vimes" | ||||
Tale says, "I can't believe how good the turnout was this year. Plus, I have leftover Chili. Plus, I'm wearing a bowler. This is bascially a very grand evening." | ||||
ASchultz says, "Hello everyone! It was tough, but I finally pushed my cat off me and got out of bed." | ||||
vimes says (to Tale), "Jaunty and delicious!" | ||||
cyberskunk says, "'and nothing else'" | ||||
DavidW says, "I don't have any tea made. :(" | ||||
Jacqueline says, "maga and I worked on one when we went on vacation last week, but we ultimately just weren't feeling it. Now that we have so many entries I don't feel so bad about that." | ||||
Jacqueline asks (of DW), "Well, we have a guest who needs account help, so how long do you need?" | ||||
ASchultz says, "Well, it can maybe be saved for next time" | ||||
Jacqueline says, "We could start at 5-10 after. Would give me a chance to get banana bread..." | ||||
DavidW says (to Jacqueline), "I can't do it now anyways; roommate has the kitchen." | ||||
Jacqueline says, "Oh" | ||||
Jacqueline says, "Well, I shall go without as well (I'm kind of pinned down by a cat and blocked into a corner by a sleeping maga), so we'll just wait for the guests to be dealt with." | ||||
DavidW says, "And I just had to re-close the bedroom door to keep out the onion fumes." | ||||
Jacqueline says, "mmmmm.... onions and garlic" | ||||
DavidW says, "Also, I may have eaten too many candy canes last night." | ||||
Tale says, "I'm not allowed to eat sweets at the moment," | ||||
* Jacqueline has added JamesPKing to the channel. | ||||
Jacqueline says, "There he is." | ||||
cyberskunk says, "i should organize lunch for the hung over. have fun jacqal and friends" | ||||
Bert says, "Presumably no relation to Nosmo." | ||||
Jacqueline says, "I wonder if jojo is similarly here for cf." | ||||
Jacqueline says, "I'm trying to suss out if this jojo needs to be added, too, before I start explaining stuff." | ||||
JamesPKing says, "thx a lot" | ||||
JamesPKing says, "hey andrew" | ||||
ASchultz exclaims (at jamespking), "Glad you made it!" | ||||
* Paulinus has joined the channel. | ||||
* Jacqueline has added jojo to the channel. | ||||
Jacqueline says, "Okay, we have some new folks this morning, so I'll take a second to explain how this works." | ||||
JamesPKing says, "hey hey hey, santa is back in town" | ||||
DavidW says, "I'd also like to protest in advance that I haven't played any of these games." | ||||
Jacqueline says, "To speak on the channel, you have to designate a channel first. So the first time you speak here, you type #CLUBFLOYD HELLO and then after that you can just use a semi-colon, like so... ;HELLO AGAIN" | ||||
JamesPKing says, "trying" | ||||
Jacqueline says, "When we play, *all* conversation about the games, what we want to do, etc, occurs here, on the channel." | ||||
Jacqueline says (to JPK), "yay" | ||||
cyberskunk says, "davidw doth protest too much, methinks" | ||||
vimes says, "I'd like to mention that you put a really crappy game in this lineup, and that you really shouldn't take Birth of Mind as indicative of the general quality of the community's efforts. Justin de Vesine is a hack." | ||||
Bert says (to cyberskunk), "Protest early; protest often." | ||||
Ellison says (to vimes), "heh" | ||||
DavidW asks (of cyberskunk), "meow?" | ||||
vimes says, "(Also, Jacq is jaunty and stylish.)" | ||||
Jacqueline says, "As for inputting commands into floyd, you type those by being in the Toyshop and prefixing your command with F. So, to tell Floyd you want the PC to look, you'd type F LOOK" | ||||
DavidW says (to vimes), "and isquiesque" | ||||
Jacqueline says (to vimes), "Huzzah" | ||||
Tale says (to vimes), "Whoa, The Day I saved Elvis is clearly worse" | ||||
Bert asks (of vimes), "Yeah, Jacq already sent around a notice about that to everyone earlier. I guess you, er, didn't get a copy of that?" | ||||
Ellison says, "to emote on channel, it's ';: nods in agreement.'" | ||||
Tale says, "test" | ||||
jojo takes it all in. | ||||
Tale says, "Hm, MUD is a bit wonky." | ||||
Nitku says, "To emote off channel, move your head down and up in succession" | ||||
Ellison says, "ha" | ||||
Jacqueline says, "As for playing etiquette, if a game seems to be under a timer or something, we'll often designate a 'driver'. If we do that, only that person can enter commands, though they take input from us." | ||||
Jacqueline says, "If there's no driver, you can enter commands without asking, but don't go too fast such that people don't have time to read the output, and don't change game locations without making sure everyone's done with that location." | ||||
Jacqueline asks, "That's pretty much it, I think - can you think of anything else, veteran CFers?" | ||||
ChrisC asks, "How many submitted authors are on today?" | ||||
ASchultz didn't know about emoting, Ellison, thanks. | ||||
Tale says, "A lot." | ||||
DavidW says, "Don't whisper to Floyd or we won't see your command." | ||||
cyberskunk says, "changing locations and equivalent serious changes. burn bridges when we're sure theyre behind us not under us" | ||||
JamesPKing says, "i think i have tutorial mode off and survey mode on" | ||||
DavidW says, "Oh, explain saving and restoring." | ||||
Jacqueline says, "Oh, yeah." | ||||
Jacqueline clears the save counter. | vimes says, "Also, spoiler etiquette, perhaps" | |||
Jacqueline says, "So, we have a save counter." | ||||
djfletch says, "I hope there's a game where we can >burn bridges" | ||||
Bert asks, "Will there be much saving and restoring in speedIF?" | ||||
vimes says (to Bert), "Some people actually took the time to implement real games, so there might be." | ||||
Bert asks (of vimes), "Seriously? Shouldn't they be disqualified?" | ||||
ChrisC says, "I know at least one game has at least one timed puzzle..." | ||||
Jacqueline says, "Right. I hadn't used it in awhile. So, to save the game, you type 'press save' (not to Floyd, just in general in the Toyshop)" | ||||
vimes says, "Also, you never know when you might be able to break the game by trying to >EAT IMPORTANT NPC and have it unexpectedly succeed" | ||||
Jacqueline says, "It will keep track of our saves by assigning a numeric save name." | ||||
cyberskunk says, "its a math game. u have to burn all the bridges of konigsberg before the cops and immanuel kant can stop you" | ||||
jojo says, "I would play that game." | ||||
Bert says (to vimes), "That's the author's fault for making an NPC out of delicious horseradish." | ||||
ChrisC asks, "how does the save counter work? Does it get cleared every day, or only if CF<x> gets overwritten?" | ||||
Jacqueline says, "And then yes, don't spoil everyone if you know what's coming up - there's another channel for that, #cf-spoilers. You can join it by typing @joinc cf-spoilers" | ||||
vimes says (to Bert), "[LINK]" | ||||
cyberskunk says, "important npcs are the most delicious" | ||||
Jacqueline asks, "Anaything else?" | ||||
DavidW says (to Jacqueline), "maga's awake now." | ||||
Bert says (to W), "She probably knew that already." | ||||
Jacqueline says, "Ha. So I see... but he's still blocking my access to coffee and banana bread." | ||||
Jacqueline says (to Bert), "heehee" | ||||
Tale says, "That cad!" | ||||
vimes says, "He might be mudding in his sleep. It's happened before!" | ||||
JamesPKing says, "let's hope there is a PUSH CLIFF game" | ||||
Ellison asks, "the 'best ever' banana bread?" | ||||
djfletch says, "I don't suppose Cliff would care for that." | ||||
Bert asks, "Should we begin?" | ||||
Jacqueline asks, "Okay, so, I guess we'll just play them in the order I uploaded them, unless someone here is an author and due to their time zone are close to going to bed so they'd like us to play their game first. Anyone in that category?" | ||||
Tale says, "I've got about 5 hrs" | ||||
Jacqueline says (to Ellison), "Yes, that banana bread." | ||||
Bert says, "Due to my time zone I am eating lunch." | ||||
vimes says, "I have puppy class to go to in not too long, so I'd request mine be either early, to get it over with, or late, so I don't have to be embarassed." | ||||
DavidW asks, "The banana bread has a rep?" | ||||
cyberskunk says, "extending creepily long arms from under the bed, tentacle-like, like shadows growing at dusk. they slide over the carpet towards an open terminal, like a beast slouching towards bethlehem...." | ||||
vimes says (to DavidW), "And a posse." | ||||
DavidW says, "goodness" | ||||
cyberskunk has used up all its metaphors. | ||||
ChrisC says, "eh it's 8PM here but I can go a while, hopefully I'll be able to see everyon'es but I'll let you know if I'm fading" | ||||
maga says, "I am too groggy to respond to any of this" | ||||
jojo says, "It's 5PM here and I've got all evening" | ||||
Jacqueline asks (of vimes), "Okay, yeah, let's play that horrible Justin de Vesine game first - do you remember what it's called?" | ||||
vimes says, "Birth of Mind." | ||||
Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "load psibirthofmind" | ||||

The creek quickly sweeps them downstream. And stupid Floyd | Tim just laughs and laughs as you scream at him.

Floyd | Welcome to the Cheap Glk Implementation, library version 0.9.0. Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Dash Slapney, Patrol Leader Floyd | An Interactive Fiction by Andrew Floyd | Release 1 / Serial number 111230 / Inform 7 build 6G60 (I6/v6.32 lib Floyd | 6/12N) Floyd | Floyd | Man! You forgot about the Klondike Derby today! Your father banged on Floyd | the door to get you up. There was a bunch of stuff you meant to study Floyd | and pick up, but it's all helter-skelter now. Your Senior Patrol Leader Floyd | also dropped some stuff off, too. Something about learning to get by, Floyd | and it's not really cheating but memory aides. All the same, if you do Floyd | too much of it, you'll get caught. He also explains that a leader Floyd | prepares stuff beforehand and pretty much can just WAIT and bark out Floyd | orders once it's all set. Floyd | Floyd | You just showered, and now you only have a bit of time to grab stuff. Floyd | Your SPL reckoned that you could win four of seven events in the Floyd | Klondike Derby and slip by. Any more might be suspicious. Nothing Floyd | against your leadership skills--just, your patrol's too young, and, Floyd | well, brains-over-brawn. Floyd | Floyd | Your Bedroom Floyd | It's kind of messy here. You probably don't want to look much at your Floyd | desk or your bed. You probably should just grab what you can and get Floyd | going before going outside. Floyd | Floyd | You can see a roll call list, a Klondike Derby Itinerary, a bag of Floyd | candy wrappers, a pocket trigonometric calculator, a can of Blue River Floyd | soda (closed), a first aid cheat sheet, a small string of knots, a Floyd | lashings log, and a techno wheels kit here. Floyd | Floyd | > | Bert says (to Chris), "You're 'Irish twins'." | |||

ASchultz says, "I'll sit in the background and give help if you need it." | ||||
Jacqueline asks, "What's a Klondike Derby?" | ||||

Floyd | You don't need it. But you glance over it to remember who's who. Floyd | Floyd | It's enough to remember your patrol members: Timmy Tines, the eighth Floyd | grader in Trigonometry. Ted Banning, the science whiz who doesn't just Floyd | get good grades but makes gadgets. Mikey Mims, annoying know it all--so Floyd | annoying, people don't want to seem like they know less than he does. Floyd | Fatty Potter, well, he's not good for much. He eats a lot, you guess. Floyd | Floyd | There's a distinct lack of applied life skills here, but that just Floyd | makes you plucky underdogs. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
jojo says (to Floyd), "get bag" | ||||
Floyd | Taken. Floyd | Floyd | > | Bert says, "Ah, I wasn't sure if this was a scouting game or a quasi-military organization." | |||
Jacqueline's job revolves quite a bit around the Klondike gold rush, and she was wondering if they were related. | ||||
Tale says (to Floyd), "x bag" | ||||
Floyd | It's a mess of second-rate candies partially ashamed of their wrappers. Floyd | You got rid of the good stuff months ago, and the selection of weird Floyd | hard candies and root beer barrels wasn't all that bad. Still, it's a Floyd | mess...but wait, there're a few random ones left. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
jojo says (to Floyd), "get knots" | ||||
Floyd | Taken. Floyd | Floyd | > | maga says, "Fatty Potter and the Order of Fries" | |||

Floyd | Taken. Floyd | Floyd | > | Jacqueline says, "huh" | |||
ASchultz says, "Never made the connection between Fatty and Harry." | ||||
Tale says (to Floyd), "x sheet" | ||||
Floyd | It's got all the points of what to do to rescue people if things go Floyd | wrong in the wilderness, which you're determined never to get close to Floyd | once you leave Boy Scouts. It's terribly common-sensical when you're Floyd | reading it but easy to forget once you're not. Still, you can remember Floyd | everything for about two hours after, and it's also handily rippable so Floyd | you can destroy the evidence, so to speak. And even if you don't Floyd | remember, a gung-ho junior patrol member should be able to--or to Floyd | embarrass you into remembering it. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
jojo says (to Floyd), "get sheet" | ||||
Floyd | You already have that. Floyd | Floyd | > | ASchultz says, "It's more about being able to survive wintertime conditions and adverse situations" | |||
jojo says (to Floyd), "get log" | ||||
Floyd | Taken. Floyd | Floyd | You've got as much as you need, now. Floyd | Floyd | You hope what you've got can win enough events. You stumble out to the Floyd | assistant scoutmaster's van, and after a five-minute drive where Floyd | everyone's subject to his harangue you heard before, you're dropped off Floyd | at the pickup area. Your Klondike Derby sled is there and packed--it'll Floyd | pass inspection. That's more due to your Senior Patrol Leader than you, Floyd | but what the hey. Floyd | Floyd | Registration Area Floyd | A big BE PREPARED sign hovers in the large three-quarters log cabin Floyd | where troops must register. It seems like a pretty serious hint to hand Floyd | out assignments before you get going. There may not be time when you Floyd | are on the trail. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
JamesPKing back. what are you playing? | maga says, "I think there's a US meme where Yukon/Klondike is sort of the default for a big outdoorsy expedition" | |||
Jacqueline asks (of ASchultz), "So, are you an Eagle Scout or something?" | ||||
maga says, "as in the Calvin & Hobbes collection Yukon Ho" | ||||
DavidW says, "back" | ||||
ASchultz says, "No. I got to Life Scout." | ||||

ASchultz says, "I guess I sort of miss scouting and didn't realize the good parts--but there were bad parts too" | ||||
JamesPKing thx | Jacqueline exclaims (at DW), "Welcome back. We're playing You Are a Boy Scout!" | |||
Tale says (to Floyd), "l" | ||||
Floyd | Registration Area Floyd | There's not much to do here except register, if that big REGISTER sign Floyd | next to the BE PREPARED sign means anything. Well, you could wait Floyd | around until a scoutmaster horse collars you and makes you register. Floyd | Floyd | You can see Ted Banning, Fatty Potter, Mikey Mims, and Timmy Tines Floyd | here. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
Tale says (to Floyd), "x ted" | ||||
Floyd | Surly, with a touch of acne...he's rather skinny but the puffy coat Floyd | he's wearing hides that. Floyd | Floyd | > | JamesPKing says, "it's the place uncle scrooge goes mining gold, too. klondike, i mean" | |||
Jacqueline says (to JPK), "Yes." | ||||
jojo asks (of ASchultz), "So this is about the gritty underbelly of scouting?" | ||||
maga says (to Jacq), "now I'm flashing back to Jeremy's story with the Thor-worshipping knife enthusiast" | ||||
ASchultz says, "Warning here that you can get the game in an unwinnable state, but once you figure what to do, hopefully it'll all fall in place" | ||||
Tale asks, "So, wee need to hand out assignments to the other boys?" | ||||
Tale says (to Floyd), "i" | ||||
Floyd | You are carrying: Floyd | a lashings log Floyd | a first aid cheat sheet Floyd | a small string of knots Floyd | a bag of candy wrappers Floyd | a warm coat (being worn) Floyd | your scout uniform (being worn) Floyd | Floyd | > | ChrisC says (to tale), "Looks like it" | |||
ASchultz says, "There's some gritty underbelly but nothing R rated I think" | ||||
Tale says (to Floyd), "give log to ted" | ||||
Floyd | "Whoah. That's something I've always been a little confused about." Floyd | Floyd | > | maga says (to ASchultz), "then I'm guessing that 'lashings log' is not what I think it is" | |||
Tale says, "I... I'm a bit confused. Not sure how to proceed here." | ||||
Bert says (to Floyd), "give wrappers to potter" | ||||
Floyd | "Whoah! Candy! Sucky candy but I could eat about anything right now." Floyd | He can, and he does, before thoughtlessly tossing the mass of plastic Floyd | on the ground. "Say! I got an idea! I--I didn't mean to do this, but Floyd | it's litter now." Floyd | Floyd | > | ChrisC says, "Do we want to give the wrappers to... yup" | |||
Tale says (to Floyd), "potter, pick up wrappers" | ||||
Floyd | There is no reply. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
Bert says (to Floyd), "x log" | ||||
Floyd | It's a log, foot long and three inches thick, with the various lashings Floyd | on it. They look simpler than knots, but the effort in cinching them Floyd | makes you lose your stream of thought. Might get the lashings confused Floyd | with the knots, though. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||
Bert says (to Floyd), "give log to timmy" | ||||
Floyd | "Whoah. That's something I've always been a little confused about." Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||

Your Senior Patrol Leader Floyd | also dropped some stuff off, too. Something about learning to get by, Floyd | and it's not really cheating but memory aides. All the same, if you do Floyd | too much of it, you'll get caught.

Floyd | Floyd | You just showered, and now you only have a bit of time to grab stuff. Floyd | Your SPL reckoned that you could win four of seven events in the Floyd | Klondike Derby and slip by.

You forgot about the Klondike Derby today! Your father banged on Floyd | the door to get you up. There was a bunch of stuff you meant to study Floyd | and pick up, but it's all helter-skelter now. Your Senior Patrol Leader Floyd | also dropped some stuff off, too. Something about learning to get by, Floyd | and it's not really cheating but memory aides. All the same, if you do Floyd | too much of it, you'll get caught. He also explains that a leader Floyd | prepares stuff beforehand and pretty much can just WAIT and bark out Floyd | orders once it's all set. Floyd | Floyd | You just showered, and now you only have a bit of time to grab stuff. Floyd | Your SPL reckoned that you could win four of seven events in the Floyd | Klondike Derby and slip by. Any more might be suspicious. Nothing Floyd | against your leadership skills--just, your patrol's too young, and, Floyd | well, brains-over-brawn. Floyd | Floyd | Your Bedroom Floyd | It's kind of messy here. You probably don't want to look much at your Floyd | desk or your bed. You probably should just grab what you can and get Floyd | going before going outside. Floyd | Floyd | You can see a roll call list, a Klondike Derby Itinerary, a bag of Floyd | candy wrappers, a pocket trigonometric calculator, a can of Blue River Floyd | soda (closed), a first aid cheat sheet, a small string of knots, a Floyd | lashings log, and a techno wheels kit here.

TheXenographer says, "I started mine well in advance, took a long break for the holidays, and did the rest of it on the night it was due." | ||||
ASchultz says, "It definitely had a nice take on the old puzzle." | ||||
jojo says, "Eggermond tells me his dancing with adverbs game took far too long to make." | ||||
Jacqueline says, "Here in a second, that is, when I can get my site to load. Hrm." | ||||
IfMaster asks, " Cool. How do I join?" | ||||
Jacqueline says, "Well, here's how it works." | Paulinus says, "the dancing adverbs one must have taken forever" | |||
ASchultz says, "It must've been tricky--I'd be interested to plot all the adverb paths out." | ||||
Jota says, "I coded mine in 3.5 hours. But I did try to do it in 2, despite failing." | ||||
TheXenographer says, "when we play, I'm sure it'll be obvious which parts I codede when." | ||||
Jacqueline says, "We play a game in this room, on a bot named Floyd." | ||||
Jacqueline says, "People can type commands by talking to Floyd and he tells us what the game result is." | ||||
Jacqueline says, "The only things we say in the room itself are those commands we give Floyd." | jojo says, "Eggermond tells me there were fifteen different endings and over three hundred adverbs understood." | |||
Jacqueline says, "All conversation -- all of it -- happens on a channel." | Jota says, "Wow." | |||
TheXenographer says, "Wow, that's impressive." | ||||
Jacqueline asks, "I've added you to that channel. Do you know how to use channels yet?" | Jota says, "I am not sure if Eggermond understood the principle of speedIF." | |||
jojo says, "Not really if you think that there are thousands of adverbs in the English language..." | ||||
TheXenographer says, "Well, even so, that's a lot of commands to implement." | ||||
Tale says (to jota), "He followed the rules!" | ||||
Ellison says, "hmmm, before we add him to a channel, maybe we should have checked to make sure he isn't blind" | ||||
Jacqueline says, "Why would that matter? We have other blind folks on channels." | jojo says, "I think Eggermond was following the loose version of the rules." | |||
IfMaster asks, " Not really. I'm willing" What's wrong with blind people?" | ||||
olethros asks, "they can't see? </tasteless?" | ||||
Jacqueline says (to IfMaster), "Nothing, they just hear the mud differently because they're listening to it on a screen reader." | JamesPKing says, "adverbs path the road to hell, stephen king says" | |||
IfMaster says, " What? What's so bad about blind people? They're not terrorists, after all." | ||||
Jacqueline says, "We do have at least one regular to the game group who's blind... but yeah, now that you mention it, I do think he has something set up to deal with that." | ||||
Ellison says, "it's just that #clubfloyd, during a session, has a lot of traffic. that's part of the reason Jaybird doesn't do Clubfloyd anymore." | TheXenographer says, "I like adverbs. Possibly a little too much." | |||
jojo says, "I've got a few choice adverbs I could say to Mr King..." | ||||
Jacqueline says, "Oh, huh." | ||||
Jacqueline asks, "IfMaster Can I ask you something?" | ||||
IfMaster says, " Sure." | ||||
JamesPKing asks (of jojo), "like?" | TheXenographer says, "I feel that adverbs are unfairly maligned." | |||
jojo says, "Verily." | ||||
Ellison says (to IfMaster), "nothing is wrong with blind people. it's just that the text sometimes scrolls too fast for screen readers to work comfortably when we play games." | ||||
IfMaster says, " I don't wish to give out that information." | ||||
Jacqueline says, "Also, ah, here we go! Transcripts." | ||||
Jacqueline says, "Here, you can see kind of how these things roll:" | ||||
Jacqueline | [LINK] | ||||
Jacqueline says, "Pick a transcript, and you'll get a sense of the etiquette." | JamesPKing says, "guess that king talks about the "he shouted angrily". which ultimately sucks." | |||
jojo says (to James), "Actually, I am sympathetic to that kin of point." | ||||
jojo says, "(kind)" | ||||
ASchultz says, "At least King didn't say "Adverbs quickly pave the road to hell."" | ||||
JamesPKing says, "mmmm im not sure. i think there WAS an adverb in there" | ||||
Jacqueline says (to IfMaster), "Okay, fair enough. You don't have to tell me. But I'll just say this: you seem like you're kind of new to this medium, and most of the people here are 20+ and generally very well educated. When you're new to a place or a community, it's often best to sit back, watch, see how things work... because if you just jump in and try to be the center of attention you will possibly upset the apple cart. It's not that we don't want people to be themselves, but there is sort of a feel here that we all get." | JamesPKing says, "look for On Wrinting, his book about writing" | |||
ASchultz says, "I also like the occasional neologism-adverb, but it can get overdone quickly" | ||||
ASchultz says, "I've meant to read that for a while now" | ||||
Jacqueline says, "So if you need help, please do ask, but just a word of advice: if you waltz into a room and say 'What on earth are you people doing?' a few times when they've been trying to explain... well, that can wear on people." | ||||
Jacqueline says, "We were all new once, though." | ||||
Jacqueline says, "We get that." | trojo says, "i also like to neologismally adverbify" | |||
Jacqueline says, "And we'll help you." | ChrisC exclaims, "Well it's been fun but I'm going to bed now. I think I'll be on next week though!" | |||
jojo says (to Trojo), "My eyes just melted a little, abysmally." | ||||
Jacqueline says, "Also, don't accept any candy from anyone named Gunther." | ASchultz says, "Good night! Hope to see you, too" | |||
jojo exclaims (at Chris), "Nighty night!" | ||||
JamesPKing says, "grrr" | ||||
Tale says, "also, you might think about changing your nickname" | JamesPKing says, "i wanned more gaimz" | |||
JamesPKing says (to tale), "LOL" | ASchultz says, "We'll get them. I'd rather spend enough time on each." | |||
JamesPKing says, "but its ONE WEEK" | ||||
ASchultz says, "Besides, more and different people around next week, maybe" | ||||
jojo says, "I'm really looking forward to playing the other seven games." | ||||
Jacqueline asks (of IfMaster), "I noticed your nickname, too. Have you written a bunch of stuff or played a ton or... where's the handle come from?" | JamesPKing says, "i wanna act 5yo. it is ONE WEEK" | |||
jojo says, "A week is a really long time if you pack a lot of things into it." | ||||
trojo says, "one whole week is like literally FOREVER... literally" | ||||
JamesPKing says, "INDEED" | ||||
IfMaster says, " I've played more If games than you can count. From Zork to Yomomma, I've played it all." | ASchultz says, "I'll be working on my TMBG game to pass the time." | |||
JamesPKing says, "AND DON LEMME STARTED FULL CAPS PUH-LEASE" | ||||
Jacqueline says (to IfMaster), "Cool." | ASchultz says, "I do sort of feel like a kid again after this. It's always neat to have a bunch of games to look forward to, or to have just played" | |||
Tale asks, "Do we know you from r*if or intfiction?" | ||||
JamesPKing asks (of IfMaster), "did you ever PUSH a CLIFF?" | ||||
Jacqueline says (to IfMaster), "I think what Tale's getting at is that having a handle like I'mMrAwesome comes across as somewhat holier than thou in a place where there are actually some people who *are* IF Masters. Humble humility and all that." | ||||
IfMaster asks, " What are you talking about?" | ||||
JamesPKing says, "I think in intfict you go by the same name" | ||||
JamesPKing says, "IfMaster. i've read it in intfiction.org" | ||||
JamesPKing says, "anyway don't bother. mine was a lame joke at a lame game" | ||||
JamesPKing says, "in which you had to push a cliff to go on" | jojo says, "Well, I've got to take the bin out and do other exciting things excitingly, so I'll see y'all next week if not before..." | |||
JamesPKing says, "byebye" | ||||
Ellison says, "later all" | ||||
JamesPKing says, "had fun" | ||||
IfMaster says, " Not that I know of. It's been a while." | JamesPKing says, "i missed one game. but those won't be available for another wook, right? in ifdb" | |||
jojo goes home. | JamesPKing says, "a wook is a week" | |||
ASchultz says, "I think so but I bet transcripts will be up" | ||||
JamesPKing says, "rrright" | ||||
Tale says, "Yeah, I was planning of uploading them all once everything is played" | ||||
IfMaster says, " I might have played that game, but I can't remember." | JamesPKing says, "yeah ofc. nvm." | |||
IfMaster ooks itself into the ether. | ||||
JamesPKing says, "hey really. dont bother about the push cliff thing. the joke's on me not you :)" | Tale says, "i'm 28 and I feel like I'm one of the yung'uns here" | |||
DavidW has had his fill of playing for now, and goes back to the Lounge. | TheXenographer says, "I'm 23, I think I win" | |||
Tale says, "ilac" | ||||
JamesPKing says, "im 39. today." | ||||
JamesPKing says, "sigh" | ||||
ASchultz exclaims, "Happy birthday!" | ||||
IfMaster arrives, ready to play with the toys. | Tale says, "Happy Birthday!" | |||
Jacqueline says, "Yeah, happy new year, you old new year's baby you." | ||||
IfMaster asks, " Who's birthday is it?" | JamesPKing says, "thx *blshes" | |||
JamesPKing blushes | ||||
Ellison says, "Baby New Year" | ||||
Tale says (to IfMaster), "JamesPKing" | ||||
Jacqueline asks (of IfMaster), "To speak on the channel type #clubfloyd Who's birthday is it?" | ||||
JamesPKing says, "mine" | trojo says, "if-master sounds like a chatbot, picking up on keywords" | |||
ASchultz says, "Ilac? Alex doesn't seem to know that...and neither does acronymfinder.com" | ||||
Tale says, ""I like a channel"" | ||||
Jota asks (of Alex), "Ilac?" | ||||
Jota exclaims, "Huh!" | ||||
JamesPKing says, "lol nope he isnt. im really sure he posted in intfiction" | ||||
Ellison says (to JamesPKing), "happy birthday!" | ||||
Jota asks (of Alex), "What's wrong with you?" | ||||
Jota says, "Oh, he's not on the channel." | ||||
ASchultz exclaims (at Tale), "Thanks!" | ||||
Jacqueline says, "No. For a reason." | ||||
Tale says, "Yeah, for good reason." | ||||
Jacqueline says, "He's not on the channel for a reason. heh" | ||||
Jota says, "(It means 'I like a channel', and is used to acknowledge when one has just accidentally said something that was intended for a different channel.)" | ||||
Jacqueline says, "38 next month here." | ||||
Tale says (to Jacqueline), "Huh!" | ||||
Jacqueline says, "Wait, make that this month." | ||||
Tale says, "ILAC again!" | ||||
trojo says, "35 here" | ||||
ASchultz says, "37" | ||||
JamesPKing says, "you know what? it's been almost 10 years since my last chat in irc or something. if you drop WOW, or UltimaOnline, that's the first i do since ages" | ||||
JamesPKing says, "feels like having sex 3 years after a divorce" | ||||
ASchultz says, "I missed most of the IRC stuff. So I'm still sort of learning. But it's great not to be flooded with stuff" | ||||
Jacqueline goes to take a shower. | ||||
JamesPKing says, "gets a smoke" | ||||
JamesPKing learns to emote | ||||
JamesPKing then gets a smoke | ||||
Paulinus disappears through an invisible gap in the MUD. You think you may have heard the sounds of chatting before the gap closed again. | JamesPKing says, "wow, i'm in clubfloyd. feels like a dream" | |||
Tale has had his fill of playing for now, and goes back to the Lounge. | ||||
JamesPKing has had his fill of playing for now, and goes back to the Lounge. | ||||
TheXenographer goes home. | ||||
IfMaster exclaims, " My stupid mud client won't let me talk directly on the channel!" | ||||
IfMaster has had its fill of playing for now, and goes back to the Lounge. | ASchultz says, "Yay, I was able to fix a few bugs right away. Thanks again, guys." | |||
Ellison has had his fill of playing for now, and goes back to the Lounge. | Jacqueline says, "yay" | |||
Tale says (to ASchultz), "Cool" | ||||
Tale says, "If it's a picture of woodchopping, it's a logout" | ||||
Ellison asks, "will you guys wait until after next week to upload the games or will they be going up sooner?" | ||||
ChrisC becomes covered in cross-hatching | Jacqueline asks, "The remaining speeds?" | |||
Jacqueline says, "They all got uploaded last night." | ||||
Tale says, "I was planning on uploading them all to IFDB once we played them all." | ||||
JamesPKing asks, "you mean knowing the names one could play?" | ||||
Jacqueline says, "Or if you mean to the archive, Tale was going to wait until all of them - yeah, that." | ||||
Ellison says, "yeah, that's what I meant" | ||||
Tale says, "Huh, Internet archive, always forget that." | ||||
JamesPKing says, "andrew you are to fast to make me feel comfortable" | ||||
JamesPKing says, "too*" | ||||
Jacqueline says (to Tale), "Fugeddaboutit. I waited, like, six months to upload Indigo New Language Speed IF. It only annoyed the fuck out of people, but they were too polite to say." | ||||
Jacqueline says, "I'm sure you'd have the same pleasant experience." | ||||
Tale says, "I try to do IFDB very quickly, because that" | ||||
Tale says, "is the thing people seem to be using these days." | ||||
Jacqueline says, "And then people are REALLY HAPPY when you finally get off your ass and upload the games, so you get all warm and fuzzy after all your procrastination." | ||||
Tale says, "Yeah." | ||||
Jacqueline says, "See, I still don't use IFDB." | ||||
JamesPKing says, "well, six months seems a bit harsh" | ||||
ASchultz says, "clubfloyd James, I looked at it as silly changes I should've made/seen in the first place" | ||||
Jacqueline says, "I completely don't even think about that site. Fortunately someone else generally takes care of it when something I do should be on there." | ||||
Tale says, "I think Jacq is desperately hinting on something I forgot to uploadf" | ||||
Jacqueline says (to JPK), "Yes, it was harsh. I just got a new job, moved a thousand miles, etc. Life intervened." | ||||
ASchultz squashes a few bugs, and other stuff pops up :P | ||||
Jota says, "Mmm, uploaf." | ||||
Jacqueline says, "I wouldn't suggest anyone do what I did. I was just being sarcastic." | ||||
Tale says (to jota), "hah" | ||||
JamesPKing says, "hehe mee too :)" | ||||
ASchultz says (to Jacqueline), "Well, real life needs to take priority...I've had far less reason to put off other stuff. There's enough to browse through in the archives for sure" | ||||
JamesPKing asks, "Andrew did u have a chance at replaying AA?" | ||||
JamesPKing says, "i've got one really happy betatester these days, but i fear he was too good again to find errors" | ||||
ASchultz says, "No, I want to though" | ||||
ASchultz says, "Writing the Apollo stuff and even the speed-if took a chunk out of me" | ||||
JamesPKing asks, "you want to what?" | ||||
ASchultz says, "I want to replay AA." | ||||
JamesPKing says, "ah ok lol. np, really" | ||||
JamesPKing says, "no hurry. i'm adding a whole new section to the endgame. but i got taken away by work and holidays" | ||||
ASchultz says, "Yeah, I've had a lot of year end cleanup to do too. Like installing a new dryer vent. Not stuff I -want- to do, mind" | ||||
trojo goes home. | * Paulinus has left the channel. | |||
