#ClubFloyd Discussion
|
|
| Jacqueline says, "So, um, yeah. About this ClubFloyd thing." | ||
| Jacqueline says, "I should get back into being a good organizer." | ||
| Jacqueline gets bored and wanders off to the Toyshop. | ||
| Jacqueline arrives, ready to play with the toys. | Jacqueline says, "huh. Floyd can't do Alan games. Why was I thinking that he could? Hm." | |
| Jacqueline hollers, "It is ClubFloyd time even though I am a bad organizer and posted no plan! If you want to play something come to the Toyshop." | Jacqueline says, "Although, if CF is not a thing that is happening, that is okay too, I guess." | |
| Jacqueline says, "But there are a few SpringThing things, as well as other stuff." | ||
| Roger arrives, full of neither funk nor fun. | Jacqueline exclaims, "Roger!" | |
| Jacqueline exclaims, "Roger! Roger!" | ||
| Jacqueline says, "I'm like that pairie chipmunk or whatever it was in that BBC video." | ||
| Jacqueline asks, "Anyway, so far this is a very small party. What are you in the mood for?" | ||
| Roger says, "Oh I dunno" | ||
| Roger says, "Nothing too strenuous" | ||
| Jacqueline says, "Also, I'm totally wrong. It's a marmot, and it wants Allan, not Roger." | ||
| [LINK] | ||
| Jacqueline says, "maga claims Bear Creek pt 1 from Spring Thing is not strenuous, though it is 'moderately-sized'" | ||
| Jacqueline says, "There are also some other SpringThing things that will run on Floyd." | ||
| Jacqueline says, "And then there is the bit where we could just resurrect some old Speed IFs or something." | ||
| pollux arrives, full of fun and funk. | Jacqueline says, "'ullo, pollux" | |
| pollux says, "Hi." | ||
| Jacqueline says, "Here's an old Gunther speed IF" | ||
| Jacqueline says, "Huh. Since DW isn't here, here's one of his." | ||
| Jacqueline says, "I have never heard of it. And it doesn't get awesome reviews because of the second half, yet is recommended just to experience the first half." | ||
| Jacqueline says, "The Angel Curse. Shall I load that up>" | ||
| Jacqueline asks, "?" | ||
| Claw says, "Hi, ClubFloyd." | ||
| Jacqueline says, "Hi, Claw." | ||
| Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "load sleepmask angelcurse" | ||

The only reason you're here Floyd | is because your friend Amy practically begged you to come with her. Floyd | Floyd | You can see some female gymnasts here. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "x me" | ||
Floyd ] Gymnasium at St. Catherine's 0/2 Floyd | Floyd | > X ME Floyd | Floyd | You're a girl in a wheelchair feeling sorry for herself. So what else Floyd | is new? Floyd | Floyd | > | Claw asks, "Be there in a second. Jacqueline, do you know someone in the lounge that I could page to let them know that I'm here?" | |
| Jacqueline says, "You don't have to do that, and probably shouldn't." | ||
| Jacqueline says, "Just type 'Toyshop'" | ||
| Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "i" | ||

| Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "x pendant" | ||
Floyd ] Gymnasium at St. Catherine's 0/4 Floyd | Floyd | > X PENDANT Floyd | Floyd | It's a white angel pendant made of alabaster. At least, you think it's Floyd | alabaster. You're not sure where you got it from, come to think of it. Floyd | It's pretty, though, and you've always worn it. Floyd | Floyd | > | pollux says, "Well, this is awkward." | |
| Claw says, "Okay then straight to Toyshop" | ||
| Jacqueline says (to pollux), "Totes." | ||
| DavidW asks, "goodness, you guys picked this one?" | ||
| Jacqueline says, "mwuhahaha I did, yes." | ||
| Taleslinger says, "You should play the one with the time machine" | ||
| DavidW says, "well, at least it's shrt." | ||
| DavidW says, "er short" | ||
| Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "remove pendant" | ||
Floyd ] Gymnasium at St. Catherine's 0/5 Floyd | Floyd | > REMOVE PENDANT Floyd | Floyd | You try to remove the angel... uhhh... Floyd | Floyd | Your head hurts. You wanted to do something, but what? Floyd | Floyd | > | Jacqueline says, "OH NO MAYBE IT IS CURSED" | |
| Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "open bag" | ||
Floyd ] Gymnasium at St. Catherine's 0/6 Floyd | Floyd | > OPEN BAG Floyd | Floyd | You open the Toys R Us bag, revealing four lead-painted metal bits (a Floyd | jagged white bit, a long red hooked bit, a shiny triangular bit and a Floyd | small green circular bit). Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| Claw arrives, ready to play with the toys. | ||
| Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "lick lead paint" | ||
Floyd ] Gymnasium at St. Catherine's 0/6 Floyd | Floyd | > LICK LEAD PAINT Floyd | Floyd | That's not a verb I recognize. Floyd | Floyd | > | DavidW says, "You'll remember this is a speed-if and hopefully forgive minor coding errors." | |
| Jacqueline says, "Sure." | ||
| djfletch arrives, full of fun and funk. | ||
| Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "x gymnasts" | ||
Floyd ] Gymnasium at St. Catherine's 0/7 Floyd | Floyd | > X GYMNASTS Floyd | Floyd | There's several women here, including Amy, out practicing for a Floyd | professional gymnastic competition in Hamburg next Spring. Looking at Floyd | them fills your mind with envy and self-pity. You cannot join them, Floyd | and you never will. Such emotions, you upbraid yourself, only Floyd | illustrate the darkness intrinsic to the human soul. You turn away. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| inky arrives, full of fun, but no funk. | inky says, "floyd can do alan games, I am pretty sure" | |
| inky says, "I guess I can see" | ||
| Jacqueline says, "Man, ClubFloyd went from nobody being interested to lots of people suddenly wandering in." | ||
| Jacqueline says (to inky), "Enh. Not important now. There's a Spring Thing Alan game is all." | ||
| DavidW says, "Peep hangover wore off, maybe." | ||
| Taleslinger says, "I'm still in a food coma" | ||
| Jacqueline says, "But I thought no one was coming to ClubFloyd so we just played this DW speed IF and now *everyone* is here." | ||
| DavidW says, "oh, that reminds me. You guys oughta play my Z-code port of 'It's Easter, Peeps!'" | ||
| Jacqueline says, "Oh, we could do that." | ||
| Jacqueline says, "But let's get our curse on first." | ||
| inky says, "hmm, I think this a3 thing is alan3" | ||
| Jacqueline says (to inky), "It's in the new Alan beta." | ||
| Jacqueline says, "And requires that version, so... yeah." | ||
| Jacqueline says, "I wouldn't worry about it too much. There will be lots of ST games we can't Floyd." | ||
| Jacqueline says (to DW), "Do you really think that mobility-impaired people feel like this, or... hm, I guess maybe that's being over-harsh and it's just this one girl." | ||
| Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "talk to amy" | ||
Floyd ] Gymnasium at St. Catherine's 0/7 Floyd | Floyd | > TALK TO AMY Floyd | Floyd | That's not a verb I recognize. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "x amy" | ||
Floyd ] Gymnasium at St. Catherine's 0/8 Floyd | Floyd | > X AMY Floyd | Floyd | Look at her. She's so graceful on the parallel bars. You could never Floyd | do that. You can't see why she insisted you accompany her here. Floyd | Floyd | Well, okay. It was the decent thing to do. But she's obviously over Floyd | her performance anxiety, and she's not paying any attention to you. Floyd | She's too busy working with the rest of the girls. Floyd | Floyd | > | djfletch says, "hurrah, I didn't miss too much wandering in late" | |
| DavidW says, "If I remember correctly, I used up most of my coding time for The Angel Curse just getting the wheelchair to behave properly. It was the only time I'd ever coded a vehicle." | ||
| Jacqueline asks, "huh. What sorts of issue did you run into?" | ||
| Jacqueline asks, "Do you recall?" | ||
| djfletch says (to Floyd), "x red" | ||

Floyd ] Gymnasium at St. Catherine's 0/10 Floyd | Floyd | > X WHITE Floyd | Floyd | (the angel pendant) Floyd | It's a white angel pendant made of alabaster. At least, you think it's Floyd | alabaster. You're not sure where you got it from, come to think of it. Floyd | It's pretty, though, and you've always worn it. Floyd | Floyd | > | DavidW says, "Not really. Just that it wasn't working right." | |
| djfletch says (to Floyd), "x jagged white" | ||
Floyd ] Gymnasium at St. Catherine's 0/11 Floyd | Floyd | > X JAGGED WHITE Floyd | Floyd | Ick. Looks dangerous. Someone could cut themselves with that. Floyd | Floyd | > | djfletch says, "woo weaponry" | |
| Jacqueline says, "My guess is we'll be murdering all these gymnasts later." | ||
| Jacqueline says, "Possibly right now." | ||
| Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "kill amy" | ||
Floyd ] Gymnasium at St. Catherine's 0/12 Floyd | Floyd | > KILL AMY Floyd | Floyd | Violence isn't the answer to this one. Floyd | Floyd | > | Jacqueline says, "Or not." | |

Floyd ] Gymnasium at St. Catherine's 0/14 Floyd | Floyd | > X GREEN Floyd | Floyd | This bit's rather like a coin. Except it's painted green and doesn't Floyd | have a queen on it, or E Pluribus Uranium, or whatever coins are Floyd | supposed to have on them. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| djfletch says (to Floyd), "rub pendant" | ||
Floyd ] Gymnasium at St. Catherine's 0/15 Floyd | Floyd | > RUB PENDANT Floyd | Floyd | You achieve nothing by this. Floyd | Floyd | > | Jacqueline asks, "Can those pieces be assembled into something?" | |
| DavidW says, "You don't need hints." | ||
| DavidW says, "Certainly not yet." | ||
| djfletch says (to Floyd), "talk to amy" | ||
Floyd ] Gymnasium at St. Catherine's 0/15 Floyd | Floyd | > TALK TO AMY Floyd | Floyd | That's not a verb I recognize. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||

Floyd ] Gymnasium at St. Catherine's 0/22 Floyd | Floyd | > X BAG Floyd | Floyd | Amy asked you to hold onto her bag for her. What she needed it for, Floyd | you can't imagine. Amy always was a little weird. Maybe that's why Floyd | she's your friend. When you're around, she probably seems almost Floyd | normal by comparison. Floyd | Floyd | > | Jacqueline says, "Okay, so she is emo and thinks only Christians pray. I'm not sure I like this protagonist." | |
| Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "jump" | ||
Floyd ] Gymnasium at St. Catherine's 0/23 Floyd | Floyd | > JUMP Floyd | Floyd | You jump on the spot, fruitlessly. Floyd | Floyd | > | Jacqueline says, "w00t" | |

Floyd ] Gymnasium at St. Catherine's 0/24 Floyd | Floyd | > ASK AMY ABOUT GYMNASTICS Floyd | Floyd | There is no reply. Floyd | Floyd | > | DavidW says, "I don't think I'd even heard the term 'emo' when I wrote this.

| djfletch says (to Floyd), "throw jagged piece at amy" | ||
Floyd ] Gymnasium at St. Catherine's 0/24 Floyd | Floyd | > THROW JAGGED PIECE AT AMY Floyd | Floyd | I only understood you as far as wanting to throw the jagged white bit. Floyd | Floyd | > | Jacqueline says (to DW), "We know. We're just trying to puzzle out the next step." | |

Floyd ] Gymnasium at St. Catherine's 0/34 Floyd | Floyd | > CUT ME WITH JAGGED Floyd | Floyd | Cutting you up would achieve little. Floyd | Floyd | > | Jacqueline says, "Oh, I dunno. Cutting might help us address our rainy day miasma." | |

Floyd | Floyd | > | Claw says, "I can only stay here as long as I can and I probably won't get to the lounge to say hi to everyone." | |

Floyd | Floyd | > | Jacqueline exclaims, "!" | |
| Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "x fish" | ||
Floyd ] First Floor Hallway (North End) 0/37 Floyd | Floyd | > X FISH Floyd | Floyd | You watch the fish swim about for awhile, and you feel the darkness in Floyd | your soul ebb. These simple fish comfort you. Why? Floyd | Floyd | > | DavidW says, "This isn't a one-room game, btw. I'm not sure why I didn't mention where the exit was. Probably since this was probably my 2nd game ever." | |
