Guest2 arrives from the west.
Jacqueline says, "Every year, the budget for IntroComp gets tighter and tighter. This year, we were still able to afford rent to use this auditorium, but that pretty much did in the budget that we usually use to redecorate."
Jacqueline says, "So, um, just pretend that the pillars say 'IntroComp' and '2013' instead of '2012' and 'XYZZYs'"
Jacqueline says, "(It might also be that I never quite coordinated with one of the wizards to get the redecorating done. In any event, don't worry: we still have enough in the budget for prize money.)"
Gunther says, "(inky's to blame)"
JimKaplan says, "Damn these politicians and their false promises."

Special thanks to those of you who wrote up reviews and posted them online. I know it sounds cliche, but I mean it when I say that feedback is the real prize of IntroComp."

HanonO asks (of davidwhyld), "...out of five?"
davidwhyld says, "I'm just hoping no one pinches me now and I wake up. Though usually my dreams are a lot less fun than this."
murphy_slaw pinches davidwhyld

DavidWelbourn says (to Blecki), "Don't worry about it. We'll cope."
murphy_slaw straps himself in and prepares to Floyd
Blecki says, "I don't think you understand how big of an attention whore I am, David."
HanonO feels like he's at a TV show he's only watched for years not knowing he could actually attend and participate.		Johnny says, "The same thing we do every Sunday that ClubFloyd isn't on hiatus, Pinky. Play as far into an IF game(s) as we can!"
Blecki says, "I was trying to whisper to you han but I've given up on typing your name right."		Jacqueline says, "So... I'm guessing that we don't even have two people who didn't play the intros present. Which is pretty much the absolute minimum to ClubFloyd them."
MTW says, "think "ha no no""		Jacqueline says, "After I nagged, lots of people voted. So I'll be surprised if there are ... well, wait. Unless authors who are here haven't played the competition, I guess."
Blecki asks, "Hanon0?"
HanonO says, "It is sort of like 'banana' or 'mississippi'"		Binder says, "I did not play them."
		Johnny says, "I played nothing."
		Binder says, "Because I was so nervous about competing."
		Johnny says, "But, in my defense, I did download and unzip the games."
		Nitku says, "I played all but two"
Blecki says, "banananananananananananabatman"
HanonO thinks he played them all the first day.		DavidWelbourn says, "I played all of them, but I failed to finish First, and I didn't find the third ending for Chicken Sexer."
MTW says, "true story, once someone erased the wikipedia entry for batman and just replaced with with NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA"
JimKaplan says (to Blecki), "I'll be honest, I counted the "na"s to see if that line was accurate"		Jacqueline says, "Huh. And I have only played the Chicken Sexer. I normally don't play them at all until after votes are in, but I couldn't resist that one for reasons previously mentioned."
		inky asks, "male, female, and ..?"
		DavidWelbourn says (to inky), "yes"
Blecki asks, "Is it?"
JimKaplan says, "Nope."		inky says, "I guess I shouldn't be dictatorial about the chicken's sexual self-expression"
MTW says, "he"		inky says, "er, gender"
JimKaplan says, ""If it had, I would have been impressed."
Johnny asks, "Sixteen?"
Blecki says, "I did not count."		Jacqueline says, "So, um, I suck, because I didn't upload these, and completely failed to get the ChoiceScript one converted, but let's play a few today and a few next week and I'll see if I can get the author and Dan Fabulous to convert Werewolves Rising for us for next week."
JimKaplan says, ""As it isn't, I can offer only mild contempt"		Jacqueline asks, "I'll go upload the non-CS ones. Could someone please explain the whole channels and ClubFloyd player etiquette while I'm doing that?"
Binder arrives, full of funk, but no fun.
JimKaplan says, ""Oh, all right, I'll upgrade it to positively-themed shrug"
JimKaplan says, "finger blecki"		says, "Okay, you talk to Floyd with '..floyd command' or 'f command'. I guess we want to let the people who haven't played drive."

Johnny \| [clubfloyd] Johnny says, "Okay, you talk to Floyd with '..floyd command' or 'f command'. I guess we want to let the people who haven't played drive."
Blecki says, "THERE IS NO SUCH PLAYER AS 'HANANO'. F THIS S."		Johnny says, "That's all I could think of."
		Johnny asks (of DavidWelbourn), "You got anything?"
		JimKaplan says, "Avoid racial epithets."
		JimKaplan says, "Everyone keeps forgetting that one."
Nitku says, "If you have more recent versions of the games, I'm sure we could play those instead of the comp versions"
