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. ANOTHER WARNING! A lot (most!) of the transcripts contained on this site are, shall we say, family-friendly. This is not one of those family-friendly transcripts. Just so we're clear.

#ClubFloyd Discussion
|
|
| Jacqueline asks, "Okay, everyone. Today is the last day before Xyzzy nominations are due. Does anyone have a 2013 game they wanted to explore?" | ||
| Doug asks, "how about Geist?" | ||
| Jacqueline asks (of Doug), "Link?" | ||
| djfletch arrives, full of funk, but no fun. | Taleslinger asks, "#cf ..doug Does it have an analog clock puzzle?" | |
| Doug | [LINK] | ||
| Jacqueline asks, "That's 2014, isn't it?" | ||
| Doug says, "oh wait, this was 2014. sorry!" | ||
| Jacqueline says, "I mean, we don't *have* to play a 2013 game. That's just one option." | ||
| Jacqueline says, "If nobody has anything else (my votes are in, as far as I'm concerned) then we could play Giest." | ||
| katie-paquette arrives, full of fun and funk. | Doug says, "nah, we should stick with xyzzy-eligible. I'm looking for the list now." | |
| Jacqueline | [LINK] | ||
| DavidW asks, "maybe Fish Dreams by Carolyn VanEseltine?" | ||
| Jacqueline says, "I thought we'd played that." | ||
| Doug says, "ah thanks, that has more detail than the voting page" | ||
| Jacqueline asks, "Ah. NightFloyd played it, but we haven't. Want to play Fish Dreams?" | ||
| Jacqueline exclaims, "We could play it even though NightFloyd played it. They replay our games all the time!" | ||
| dhakajack says, "Fine by me." | ||
| DavidW says, "I don't remember it from the name alone, at least." | ||
| DuoDave says, "I've never actually attended a clubfloyd session from the beginning" | ||
| katie-paquette says, "Whatever" | ||
| DuoDave says, "even though i've been here a while" | ||
| Jacqueline says, "Give me a second to check that there isn't a post-comp release." | ||
| Nitku arrives, full of fun and funk. | Doug says, "I kinda wish this list were organized by publication event (e.g. comp)" | |
| DavidW says, "Intangible by bzzz claims to be short." | ||
| Jacqueline says, "Okay. It doesn't look like there's a post-comp release. I think this one will be fairly short, but here we go." | ||
| Busta says, "I played it already, but I can watch. It's very short, so you'll have plenty time to play another." | ||
| Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "load sleepmask ecto13fishdreams" | DavidW says (to Doug), "well, next year, perhaps. I made the list." | |

Floyd ] The Depths 1 Floyd | Motion disturbs the water. Something falls from above, sinking down a Floyd | long path down from sunlight to deepness. A second something falls, Floyd | overtaking the first, landing in the weeds with a force that stirs the Floyd | sand. Floyd | Floyd | With no greater predator about, you rule these depths, and you are Floyd | curious. And hungry. Floyd | Floyd | Fish Dreams Floyd | An Interactive Fiction by Carolyn VanEseltine Floyd | Release 1 / Serial number 131030 / Inform 7 build 6G60 (I6/v6.32 lib Floyd | 6/12N) Floyd | Floyd | The Depths Floyd | Only sporadic shafts of sunlight penetrate to these lonesome depths. Floyd | Long weeds rise from the sand to drift and tangle in the current. Floyd | Floyd | A dead human has come to rest among the weeds. Floyd | Floyd | A massive box lies on the sandy floor. Several layers of rope wind Floyd | about the box, binding it closed. Floyd | Floyd | > | Doug asks, "have we played Dark Carnival by Marshal Tenner Winter?" | |
| DavidW says, "oh, now I remember this game." | ||
| DavidW says (to Doug), "We haven't but I helped test Dark Carnival." | ||

Floyd ] The Depths 3 Floyd | Floyd | > X BOX Floyd | Floyd | It's more than three times your length, with similar proportions in Floyd | width and depth. Floyd | Floyd | Muffled vibrations come from within the massive box. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "bite rope" | ||
Floyd ] The Depths 4 Floyd | Floyd | > BITE ROPE Floyd | Floyd | Your powerful teeth slice neatly through the layers of rope, and the Floyd | remanents fall easily away. Floyd | Floyd | A sharp vibration comes from the massive box, followed by a roiling Floyd | mass of bubbles. The bubbles send you spinning away, but you are Floyd | nonetheless aware that a second human has emerged from the box. Floyd | Floyd | The new human is still alive. Thrashing awkwardly, it propels itself Floyd | up toward the sunlight. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "bite human" | ||
Floyd ] The Depths 5 Floyd | Floyd | > BITE HUMAN Floyd | Floyd | You sink your teeth into the human's meaty limb, severing hunk after Floyd | tasty hunk with joyous abandon. And you dream.... Floyd | Floyd | In his final moments, there was nothing but rage, red and angry. Floyd | He drew back his fist, snarling a threat that even he barely heard. Floyd | The commander went pale beneath her rouge. He was certain that he Floyd | would never strike her, but wondered (beneath that certainty) whether Floyd | he really might this time - he could not remember being so angry Floyd | before, so desperately, burningly angry. The lips skinned back from Floyd | his teeth in a snarl and Floyd | Floyd | SMASH! across the back of his head. He never even saw where the Floyd | blow came from. There wasn't even pain, not really - just impact, and Floyd | the ending of a life. Floyd | Floyd | The dream fades, and you are once more aware of the depths and the Floyd | currents. Floyd | Floyd | > | DavidW asks, "Did you bite the dead or the living human?" | |
| Jacqueline says, "I'm really not sure. But I guess the dead one." | ||
| Jacqueline says, "Now that I fully read the description." | ||

| DavidW says, "well, we might be able to go up" | ||
| Jacqueline says, "I say we eat some more of the dead one and learn more about ... oh, or yeah. Go up." | ||

Floyd | Floyd | He thought, if he could trust anyone, he could trust Roselle - Floyd | until he looked to the bottom of his glass and saw the residue, the Floyd | rust-red powder inflaming the wine. Floyd | Floyd | When he stood, the deck reeled under him, and he couldn't tell any Floyd | more whether it was inside or outside his head. His skin felt Floyd | flushed, his head ached, the room spun. What had she dosed him with? Floyd | What would it do to him? Floyd | Floyd | And yet he struggled for control. She had forfeited her share of Floyd | the profit, that was for certain, and her right to move freely about Floyd | the cabin. But perhaps things could be remedied, somehow - if he Floyd | could think through the gathering haze - Floyd | Floyd | The dream fades, and you are once more aware of the depths and the Floyd | currents. Floyd | Floyd | > | Jacqueline says, "I think this is my first interactive fiction game about blood memory." | |
| DavidW asks, "How many licks to the center of a human pop?" | ||
| Jacqueline says, "snrk" | ||
| Fang arrives, full of fun, but no funk. | dhakajack says, "I wonder if we're tripping on whatever he ingested." | |
| Jacqueline asks, "Ah one... ah two... ah -- should we bite a third time?" | ||
| Emily arrives, full of funk, but no fun. | DavidW says, "please" | |
| Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "eat human" | ||
Floyd ] The Depths 9 Floyd | Floyd | > EAT HUMAN Floyd | Floyd | You burrow deeper, wriggling with delight as you gulp down mouthful Floyd | after mouthful. And you dream.... Floyd | Floyd | "Over?" he echoed. "What do you mean?" Floyd | Floyd | "I mean what I said - " Gene looked sweaty, round, uncomfortable, Floyd | not at all like a man who had just played him for the better part of Floyd | twenty-three million. "I need someone on board who listens. Someone Floyd | who's got his shit together. Someone who won't touch the cookie Floyd | jar." Floyd | Floyd | And by their contract, under these circumstances - the contract he Floyd | had pushed for himself - Gene could take the company with him, and Floyd | Jerry was screwed, screwed, screwed. Floyd | Floyd | "What are you going to do, Jerry?" Floyd | Floyd | "I'm going to kick your ass. I'm going to wreck your car. I'm Floyd | going to take a fucking cruise..." All the fight suddenly went out of Floyd | him. "I'm going to go home," he said, and he did. Floyd | Floyd | Oddly, on the drive home, he thought: A cruise might not be a bad Floyd | idea. Floyd | Floyd | The dream fades, and you are once more aware of the depths and the Floyd | currents. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| Nitku has had his fill of playing for now, and goes back to the Lounge. | DavidW asks, "The dreams are in revese-chronological order, I guess?" | |
| Doug says, "Fishmento" | ||
| Jacqueline asks, "So, these are not all moments right before death, right? They're perhaps the things that passed through this person's mind before death?" | ||

Floyd ] The Depths 10 Floyd | Floyd | > G Floyd | Floyd | You turn your attention higher up the body, to the flappy cheeks and Floyd | lips and nose and eyes. You bite and tear and chew, savoring each Floyd | delectable mouthful. And you dream.... Floyd | Floyd | "I could kill for a fix," he said, and then he didn't say it but Floyd | he thought it, and days and weeks and months later he stopped thinking Floyd | it. One day he realized he didn't know when he last thought it, and Floyd | that was the day Gene said, "You know, you really got your shit Floyd | together in there. I need someone like that, someone focused, Floyd | organized, under control. But someone who understands me, too. I got Floyd | this idea," Floyd | Floyd | and he listened, and his heart said no, no, no until his mouth Floyd | said yes.

Floyd | Floyd | Somewhere beneath it all, he was always fourteen. He was always Floyd | at the top of the stairs in his skeleton costume for Halloween, and Floyd | the teachers were always walking past below, with the conversation Floyd | always drifting up the stairs like an evil spirit. He was always Floyd | listening, even though he didn't want to hear. He was always just Floyd | learning that they couldn't tell him apart from anyone else in the Floyd | same costume. That he was just another kid, here one year and gone Floyd | the next. That he was not special. He was always just realizing that Floyd | he would never be special. Floyd | Floyd | The dream fades, and you are once more aware of the depths and the Floyd | currents. Floyd | Floyd | You nose your way across the bones one last time, but there's nothing Floyd | left to eat. Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | *** You swim away, cherishing your new memories. *** Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Would you like to RESTART, RESTORE a saved game, QUIT or UNDO the last Floyd | command? Floyd | > | dhakajack says, "the brains should be enlightening..." | |

The beauty is more than you Floyd | can understand. Master told of sky - master does not lie - but little Floyd | furry servant you, you could not know the wonder true. But now you Floyd | see, you see in glee and praise master's mercy to let you free - not Floyd | free to leave, silly fuzzy thing, but free to be outside in the wide Floyd | under-sky, on the road from master's abode to who knows. Master Floyd | knows, and you he told: eastward lies the quim delivery station to Floyd | which (to your elation) you are to move your fleet and furry feet and Floyd | inject, input, insert every quim without qualm, lest master withold Floyd | balm. Floyd | Floyd | You are outside of master's hut, and, for now, gut. Above is the wide Floyd | and clear purple sky, north and south out and past ken ruffle gently Floyd | spears of grass.

Between these two places places himself a looming, Floyd | long-limbed lobster - I mean Robster - I mean mobster - I mean momster Floyd | - I mean monster.

"To pass, cross, or Floyd | otherwise my bridge transverse you must, without loss, provide a Floyd | smidge to me of that - in the whole universe - which is most Floyd | precious."
