ToyShop & Floyditorium		#ClubFloyd Discussion

		Jacqueline says, "It's ClubFloyd time. We're playing the Apollo 18+20 games starting today and going at least 2-3 weeks."
		Jacqueline says, "We will play no more than three hours today."
		Jacqueline exclaims, "So, let's begin!"
		Jacqueline says, "Wait."
		Jacqueline asks, "Any new folks?"
		Jacqueline says, "mmkay, there don't seem to be any new folks."
		Jacqueline says, "So yeah, let's begin."
Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "sleepmask a18digmygrave"
Floyd says (to Jacqueline), "Floyd doesn't know that trick."
Afterward arrives, full of fun and funk.		Jacqueline says, "One sec, trying to remember the syntax for the new sleepmask thing."
		Yuri exclaims, "hello all!"
		* Jacqueline has added Afterward to the channel.
		Yuri says, "Looking forward to the game..."
		Gerynar asks, "isn't it floyd load sleepmask ?"
		Jacqueline asks, "Hi, Afterward. Are you familiar with how to play ClubFloyd?"
Afterward exclaims, "no!"		Jacqueline says (to Gerynar), "Yeah, that's my next try... but we should tutor Afterward first."
		Jacqueline says (to Afterward), "Welcome to ClubFloyd."
		Jacqueline says, "First off, speak on the channel. To do that the first time, type #CLUBFLOYD HELLO"
Afterward says, "Very sorry to slow things down."		Afterward exclaims, "Hello!"
		Jacqueline says, "Then that will set your channel. After that, all you'll need is to preface with a semi-colon... ;HELLO AGAIN"
		Gerynar says (to Afterward), "no problem...everyone here was new once (except maybe Jacq)"
		Jacqueline says, "snrk"
		Afterward asks, "Like this???"
		Jacqueline says, "Yep."
		Jacqueline says, "So, we play the game in the room, but all the talk about the game stays on the channel. This keeps the transcript clean. Does that make sense? I'm assuming some things and using some jargon, so slow me down if need be."
		Jacqueline says, "We can all play the game, everyone can enter commands, except that it's polite to ask before you chage rooms in a game to make sure everyone was done with that location."
		Jacqueline says, "The exception is that sometimes we run into an obviously tricky bit, where a puzzle requires timing, and then we usually designate a 'driver' - one person who enters all the commands, though we still suggest the commands to that person here on the channel (so everyone is still 'playing', just not everyone is at the wheel.)"
		Jacqueline asks, "Am I missing anything, regulars?"
		Gerynar says, "to give a command to the game, type f (such as: f look in mirror)"
		Jacqueline says, "Ah, yes. And please don't whisper to Floyd, because we all want to see who entered what commands."
		Jacqueline says, "So, we're only going three hours today and have a lot to get through, so let's begin. (Afterward, if you have questions at any time, just ask. Welcome.)"
Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "load sleepmask a18digmygrave"

Floyd \| It's a likeness of Benjamin Harrison, the 23rd president of the United Floyd \| States. Harrison may not have been one of our more exciting presidents Floyd \| - he's certainly no James K.

But Harrison's economic policies were so Floyd \| monumentally unpopular that the incumbent he defeated in 1888, Grover Floyd \| Cleveland, was actually able to mount a successful challenge to him in Floyd \| 1892.

Floyd ] Darkness 1 Floyd \| Fingertips: I Hear the Wind Blow is part of Apollo 18+20: Floyd \| The IF Tribute Album. That means that it is one work in a Floyd \| collection of interactive fiction pieces created to commemorate the Floyd \| twentieth anniversary of the They Might Be Giants album Apollo Floyd \| 18, an effort coordinated by Kevin Jackson-Mead. Floyd \| Floyd \| The phrase "I hear the wind blow" comes from a song called Floyd \| Fingertips, and is but one line of many in the song. It Floyd \| should be noted that while I have actually taken the time to suffer Floyd \| through (oops! I meant 'listen to') Fingertips, the song Floyd \| itself really didn't play into the inspiration for this work. My Floyd \| apologies to all you rabid TMBG fans out there. The phrase "I hear the Floyd \| wind blow" is all I used for the writing prompt, and this work would Floyd \| not have been crafted any differently had I never heard the song Floyd \| Fingertips. Floyd \| Floyd \| So, if you like TMBG, I hope you won't hold all this against me. And Floyd \| if you're not all that into TMBG, please know that that is fine (with Floyd \| me, anyway). In either case, I hope you enjoy this short piece of Floyd \| interactive fiction. Floyd \| Floyd \| (And if you're wondering how such a non-TMBG fan ended up participating Floyd \| in this endeavor, be sure to read the CREDITS.) Floyd \| Floyd \| >		djfletch says, "go"

Floyd ] Darkness 1 Floyd \| I'd like to blame (...or is the proper word 'thank'?) Ben Floyd \| Collins-Sussman for looping me into doing this. Ben was shocked to Floyd \| learn that I was not at all a TMBG fan, nor had I ever even heard of Floyd \| this album. "You don't know that TMBG album?!? it's not a milestone of Floyd \| your adolescence??" he asked incredulously over G-chat one evening. For Floyd \| some reason, he encouraged me to participate anyway. Floyd \| Floyd \| So, despite my lack of fangirl status, and despite the fact that it was Floyd \| already well past the deadline for intents to participate, I found a Floyd \| writing prompt among those yet unclaimed which spoke to me. I Floyd \| subsequently twisted Kevin's arm to let me take part (which was not Floyd \| difficult, and Kevin was just great throughout--very well organized, Floyd \| kept people on task, and allowed me time for a little extra polish Floyd \| while he was waiting on the late submissions). So thanks, Ben and Floyd \| Kevin. Floyd \| Floyd \| Of course, one can never thank Graham Nelson enough for the joy that is Floyd \| Inform 7, nor praise Emily Short sufficiently for all of her work and Floyd \| the rather insane number of incredibly helpful examples she has written Floyd \| over the years. Cheers also to the denizens of the ifMUD for their Floyd \| patience in answering my questions, helping me past obstacles, and Floyd \| providing encouragement over the past decade or so. In particular, Floyd \| Emily Short, Andrew Plotkin, Sam Kabo Ashwell and GenericGeekGirl came Floyd \| to my rescue a few times while I was writing this. Floyd \| Floyd \| Many thanks to the folks who stepped up to beta test: Ruth Alfasso, Sam Floyd \| Kabo Ashwell, Royce Odle, Melvin Rangasamy, Andrew Schultz, Jack Welch, Floyd \| and The Xenographer. Mistakes which remain are, of course, my own. Floyd \| Floyd \| Super, great big, major giant props to Justin de Vesine (who is both Floyd \| jaunty and stylish) for a gazillion things. He is possibly the most Floyd \| helpful person I know, and I feel like I'm constantly thanking him for Floyd \| stuff. On this particular occasion I would most like to thank him for Floyd \| his help in figuring out how I could code on my Chromebook (using the Floyd \| I7 command line compiler), so thanks for that. Thanks also to Adam Floyd \| Thornton for the development of the command line I7 platform and Floyd \| helping me with its use. Floyd \| Floyd \| I also coded a bit of this on a netbook using P. F. Chimento's Linux Floyd \| GUI of Inform, so props for that I7 front end as well. And as long as Floyd \| I seem to be thanking pretty much the whole entire world, thanks to Floyd \| John Cater for recommending that I use Crunch Bang Linux to resurrect Floyd \| said netbook, and Philip Newborough for #!.

Floyd \| Floyd \| "Perhaps..." you sometimes thought to yourself, "perhaps he is a little Floyd \| too dark and mysterious."
