ClubFloyd Transcript:
Valley of Steel by The Custodian
As played on ifMUD on March 2, 2014

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 Valley of Steel written by The Custodian. Valley of Steel was released in 2013. You can learn more about the game, including how to download it, by visiting IFDB.


WARNING! Below you will find a transcript of people playing these games, and it goes without saying that the transcript is full of spoilers. So, if you've never played these games, 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 hollers, "Hi! So, um, ClubFloyd has zero idea what it's playing, but it starts in one minute if you'd like to come join us!"
DavidW arrives, full of funk, but no fun.
djfletch arrives, full of neither funk nor fun. Doug says, "there were lots of games discussed in #theoryclub yesterday that I haven't played."
Jacqueline says, "I've been searching through Inform games on the Xyzzy eligibles list, but most are either stuff we've played, stuff NightFloyd has played, or stuff that gets less than three stars on IFDB"
Gerynar is here as an observer because he has to soon step outside to clean the snow off the driveway
Jacqueline says, "Still, most of those in this last category only have a couple of people who've rated them."
Gerynar he is willing to pay a quarter to anyone who'd like to come and do it for him.
Jacqueline asks (of Doug), "2013 games playable on Floyd?"
Busta arrives, full of fun, but no funk. Jacqueline was 'enjoying' the great outdoors yesterday during the IF discussion.
Johnny says (to Gerynar), "Hold on, let me hitch a ride to 1901."
Doug says (to Jacqueline), "nope, older ones."
Jacqueline says, "I mean, we could just abandon the 2013 Xyzzy thing, but that's what we generally do this time of year."
marshal_tenner_winter says, "test"
Jacqueline says, "I've already put in my nominations, but figured I could still update them."
Jacqueline exclaims (at mtw), "Success!"
Doug asks, "are you including unrated games in the stuff with less than three stars?"
Jacqueline asks, "No, have you hit one with no ratings?"
Jacqueline says, "I'm really open to anything."
Doug says, "I haven't looked"
Jacqueline says, "I just have to leave in about three hours."
Doug says, "I was just thinking I'd rather play a game with no ratings than with low ratings."
Jacqueline nods.
Nitku says, "[LINK]"
Nitku says, "or probably more relevant [LINK]"
Nitku says, "Valley of Steel looks interesting"
Jacqueline says, "Well, Burns Night Supper we're only supposed to play on Jan 25th."
Jacqueline says (to Nitku), "Hm, yeah."
marshal_tenner_winter says, "spiritual mulch"
marshal_tenner_winter says, "wrong window"
Jacqueline asks, "What do people think about Valley of Steel?"
DavidW says, "I know nothing about it."
Jacqueline hollers, "Okay, we're playing Valley of Steel, a near-future sci-fi puzzle game by The Custodian which was released in 2013 and has not yet been rated on IFDB."
Nitku arrives, full of fun, but no funk.

Floyd | A rare moment of rest.  Your mission to steal specifications of the
Floyd | MitKlein Encapsulation - the ID transponder embedded in every
Floyd | citizen's head, even yours - was successful, and you transmitted your
Floyd | report to Central early this morning.   You expect a new assignment
Floyd | soon, even if it is only instructions to fall back into a cover
Floyd | identity, as you have been on the front lines of the underground
Floyd | struggle against Homeland Security nearly from the start.  Giving up
Floyd | your birth identity and life, moving instead into the flickery
Floyd | half-existence of an underground operative, you've sabotaged, stolen,
Floyd | publicized, verified and fought for years now.  Hopefully, this last
Floyd | mission means that a strategy to counter the government's ubiquitous
Floyd | tagging of citizens is being worked out at levels above your own head.
Floyd |
Floyd | For now, you have found yourself a small quiet park in a quiet corner
Floyd | of the City.
Floyd |
Floyd | Welcome to the future.  Every citizen has been scanned, chipped,
Floyd | folded, spindled and mutilated - and it's enough to make you scream.

Floyd | > ABOUT
Floyd |
Floyd | Valley of Steel
Floyd |
Floyd | In a pervasive surveillance society, you'll dare to strike a blow for
Floyd | anonymity - but to stay free, you will need to take down the watchers.
Floyd | The creep of surveillance and control has continued unabated.  Every
Floyd | citizen is required to have a chip implant which can definitively
Floyd | identify them to anyone with a scanner.  You've spent years working
Floyd | with the underground as a hacker for hire, helping research and
Floyd | develop countermeasures to government surveillance.  You've managed to
Floyd | steal information which will help the design of a cryptographic attack
Floyd | against the Mitsui-Klein Encapsulation that every citizen carries in
Floyd | their skull, which (if it works) will render the chip inoperative.
Floyd | Your own MitKlein signature was captured during your mission, however.
Floyd | Although you did your best to wipe all records of your MitKlein
Floyd | signature from all the databases you could find, if you let your chip
Floyd | be scanned by any system it is likely that Homeland Security will be
Floyd | after you immediately.  Short term, you'll have to get off the street
Floyd | before curfew and figure out how to move around undetected - long
Floyd | term, you will have to bring the fight to Homeland Security itself.

Floyd | The real meat of the game's functionality was provided by a series of

Floyd | Clockmaker, raincomplex, zarf(Andrew Plotkin), maga, climbingstars,
Floyd | Felix Larsson, capmikee, ChrisC, mattw, Skinny Mike, tove, HanonO.
Floyd | Testing was provided by some of those.  Andrew Schultz has patiently
Floyd | and heroically labored to point out things I did wrong, even going
Floyd | back and retesting after I fixed them (and all to often, broke other
Floyd | stuff).  In addition uncledavid, Evelin en Biep Durieux, and Klaus
Floyd | Matteus provided invaluable testing.  They all have my humble thanks.
Floyd | All errors, of course, are my own.

Floyd | them of their duty as a citizen to ensure their child has his or her
Floyd | Mitsui-Klein encapsulation properly implanted by their birth hospital.
Floyd | Along with two or three not-so-veiled hints as to the penalties for
Floyd | avoiding implantation, the pamplet also contains a very familiar
Floyd | boilerplate description of the MitKlein Bottle which you and all your
Floyd | fellow citizens carry within your skulls.  Inserted at birth, the
Floyd | MitKlein becomes embedded in the bone structure of the skull as the
Floyd | fontanelles close and harden.  It contains just enough electronics to
Floyd | act as a transponder which will identify its owner, securely, to any
Floyd | nearby chip scanner over a range of perhaps five meters or less.  The
Floyd | pamphlet cheerily explains that without such a chip, your child will
Floyd | be severely disadvantaged and unable to use basic modern services.

Floyd | the Brass Lantern website at
Floyd | [LINK]
Floyd | In general, try using simple one or two-word (or two-phrase, really)
Floyd | commands to interact with objects in the game.  Here are a few simple
Floyd | command shortcuts to get you started.
Floyd |
Floyd | L - Look. Looks around at the general area.
Floyd | X  - eXamine .  Describes a specific
Floyd | object in more detail.
Floyd | N/S/E/W - Move North, South, East or West, if possible.
Floyd | Interim directions also work, e.g. NE or SW.
Floyd | TAKE 
Floyd | WEAR 
Floyd | DROP 
Floyd | OPEN 
Floyd | PUT  IN  - attempts to insert the first
Floyd | object into the second (e.g. "PUT WALLET IN BAG".)
Floyd | Z - wait a turn.
Floyd | G - aGain: repeats the last command.
Floyd |
Floyd | You can also SAVE and RESTORE the game, or get HINTS (if you're
Floyd | desperate!)

Floyd | Green Commercial Platform
Floyd | Green Commercial One is one of the oldest stations on the Transit web.
Floyd | Although it has been refurbished several times, its age still manages
Floyd | to show through the layers of tile and paint.  The platform opens out
Floyd | at the middle to a lobby area which is dominated by a row of automated
Floyd | doors to the south, which lead to stairways up to the main station.
Floyd | The flow of commuters moves steadily through these doors.  The floor
Floyd | and walls are both extremely scuffed duramex nanotile, and the station
Floyd | name (Green Commercial One) is indicated on a large plaque set into
Floyd | the walls. The platform abuts the Transit web to the north, where a
Floyd | Transit capsule can be seen hovering.  The capsule doors are open.

Floyd | The southern end of the Green Commercial Plaza, which continues to the

Floyd | A rare moment of rest.  Your mission to steal specifications of the

Floyd | identity, as you have been on the front lines of the underground
Floyd | struggle against Homeland Security nearly from the start.  Giving up
Floyd | your birth identity and life, moving instead into the flickery
Floyd | half-existence of an underground operative, you've sabotaged, stolen,
Floyd | publicized, verified and fought for years now.  Hopefully, this last
