ClubFloyd Transcript:
Candy Rush Saga by Andrew Schultz
Carriage Returns by David Good
As played on ifMUD on January 11, 2015

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 Candy Rush Saga written by Andrew Schultz and Carriage Returns written by David Good. These games were released as part of Ectocomp 2014. You can learn more about the games, including how to download them, by visiting the IFDB pages: Candy Rush Saga and Carriage Returns.


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.

Floyd | The raid on the wealthier area was successful! The four companions had
Floyd | gotten all the candy they wanted and more. But they had to eat some of
Floyd | it, to lessen the load, and get the energy to carry their heavy bags.
Floyd | It gave them the energy to argue, too, loud enough to split up and get
Floyd | lost. What's worse, four bullies a few years older than them came over
Floyd | from the rich side of town to vandalize and terrorize it a bit.
Floyd | Toothpaste and shaving cream and even, sadly, mailbox baseball--well,
Floyd | why not finish by returning some "stolen" candy to their community,
Floyd | minus a suitable finder's fee.
Floyd |
Floyd | That's where you come in. You're just a poltergeist, and all you can
Floyd | do is blink, but maybe you can help the kids get home safely with all
Floyd | their candy. The folks above--in heaven--gave it to you as a first
Floyd | job. You got kicked to limbo because you never DID anything positive,
Floyd | even though you wanted to. Your supervisor lets you listen in on their
Floyd | plans--yup, these guys could be taken down a peg. And the kids deserve
Floyd | better. (Press any key)
DavidW says, "Four kids with candy. Four bullies. Help the kids. Defeat the bullies. And we're a poltergeist from Heaven."
DavidW pushes the green 'space' button.

Jacqueline asks, "So the dropout is a bully?"
DavidW says, "I suppose maybe we're supposed to get the friends and bullies to swap positions? I don't exactly know what the goal is here."
Jacqueline says, "Sorry, I've been still trying to tweak my client, so have been back and forth in the window."
Jacqueline asks, "What, get the poor kids into the rich areas?"
DavidW says, "Yes, the bullies are [underling, sporto, preppie, dropout]. The friends are [Optimus Prime, McFly, Pee Wee, Luke]."
Jacqueline says, "But opposites can't run into each other."
DavidW says (to Jacqueline), "I have no idea which kids are rich or which are poor."
DavidW says, "I'm just trying to come up with a strategy for winning, since the game isn't really being helpful in telling us our goal."
Jacqueline says, "Well, I was making the (assumption) that poor started out in the poor area and vice versa, and that we needed to swap them. But, um, I have no idea why I am making that assumption."
DavidW says, "But we can certainly move everyone around if we have to. That makes this a horrid slider puzzle."

Floyd |
Floyd | Parking Lot
Floyd | The parking lot for the diner is unremarkable. It's paved with cold,
Floyd | cracked blacktop, painted in fading lines to indicate parking spots.
Floyd | The street is west of here, and your favorite diner is to the south.
Floyd |
Floyd | You can see a car, some motorcycles, and a vending machine here.

Floyd |
Floyd | The unfamiliar green Ford station wagon has faux wood panels on the
Floyd | sides. It appears to be a year or two old, and judging by it's
Floyd | condition you're guessing it's maybe a '73, so it's probably a Ford

Jacqueline | Carriage Returns (David Good) — I got stuck on this one: I got as far as eating breakfast in a diner, but then I’m not certain what I’m meant to do next, and attempts to interact with objects and NPCs didn’t seem to be advancing my situation. Points for the cheddar, though
Jacqueline says, "Perhaps we should move on."

Jacqueline says (to DW), "I wouldn't be opposed as long as that was the only hint you got and you tried your best to avoid other spoilage."
Jacqueline says, "Because this feels suspciously like a bug."
Gerynar says, "Wow. Thanks for posting the reviews. Invaluable. I really should have run Carriage Returns past a tester or two, there were definitely things I didn't perceive as being issues. Apparently everyone thought the pie was somehow important and very few people realized the newspaper would trigger the ending."

Floyd | Janet screams, and the waitress takes cover behind the counter.
Floyd | "I'll protect you, Janet," Brad shouts. He throws the newspaper at the

Floyd | "Oh no," cries Janet. "We'll never get the deposit back now!"

Floyd | As the last of Brad's life eeks out of him, he reaches for Janet and
Floyd | says "I was going to ask you..." and then he expires. Janet reaches

DavidW says, "That might be nice."
Jacqueline says, "I kind of liked the predictability of that. We could maybe do an Infocom game."
DavidW says, "Unfortunately, I seem to be yawning uncontrollably here. I really need to lie down, even though I've barely been up for more than 3 hrs."

Jacqueline exclaims, "Okay. G'night, David!"
