		Jacqueline says, "So. Last week we played Trinity. We didn't get far at all. People seemed kind of either 'meh' or 'holy shit we'll never finish this' or 'hrm, I guess.' But maybe some people were excited and just not showing it well."
		Jacqueline says, "So I just wanted to say that we don't have to continue with it. I wanted to make sure we weren't all on the road to Abilene together."
		Jacqueline \| [LINK]
		Roger says, "It felt a bit more like work than like fun to me, but that's just me."
		DavidW asks, "Abilene?"
		Roger says, "Fortunately I don't care what anyone else wants; paradox averted"
		Jacqueline says (to Roger), "hee"
		DavidW says, "oh good: my ISP let me visit Wikipedia this time."
		Jacqueline asks (of DW), "The patreon boost for your internet is not yet in play, eh?"
		DavidW says, "oh good heavens, of course not."
		Jacqueline says, "So, I have three proposals from which to choose."
		DavidW says, "I didn't write two walkthroughs in January. I've only written one. And I won't get paid for that one for at least a week."
		Deesix says, "I'm wondering if most people did play Trinity and this is redundant."
		DavidW says (to Deesix), "I played Trinity back when it first was released."
		Taleslinger says, "Trinity is one of these things where I'd like to see one of DW's walkthroughs."
		Jacqueline says, "1 - Trinity, 2 - Another thing from Masterpieces of Infocom, 3 - Something else, maybe Hadean Lands (though maybe we should ask Zarf first)"
		DavidW asks (of Taleslinger), "At patreon.com/dswxyz/ ?"
		Jacqueline says (to D6), "I have never played Trinity any farther than the Long Water."
		Taleslinger says, "Yep"
		Taleslinger says, "Unless you're blowing all the money on moustache wax and strippers"
		DavidW says, "1 - played it, 2 - played them, 3 - played it and wrote a walthrough."
		JoshuaH says, "I'd love to continue Trinity, but I'm very under the weather and will be even more background than usual today, and it was a slog last week, and I could just play it on my own..."
		JoshuaH says, "... so I'm staying out of the decision."
		DavidW says (to Taleslinger), "alas, not yet. Would love to try moustache wax someday though."
		Jacqueline says, "What else is on the Masterpieces? Arthur: The Quest for Excalibur, Ballyhoo, Beyond Zork, Border Zone, Bureaucracy, Cutthroats, Deadline, Enchanter, Hollywood Hijinx, Infidel, Journey, Leather Goddesses of Phobos, The Lurking Horror, A Mind Forever Voyagin, Moonmist, Nord and Bert Couldn't Make Head or Tail of It, Planetfall, Plundered Hearts, Seastalker, Sherlock: The Riddle of the Crown Jewels, Sorcerer, Spellbreaker, Starcross, Stationfall, Suspect, Suspended, Trinity, Wishbringer, The Witness, Zork I, Zork II, Zork III, and Zork Zero."
		Taleslinger says (to dw), "Miseri can help with that"
		Roger says, "I've never even taken a look at Leather Goddess, which feels like a failure in my ongoing education. So I'll vote for it."
		Jacqueline says, "Oh dear. That one. Yeah, we could do that one. I have never played the whole thing."
		DavidW says, "The orphanage is a bit tricky, yeah."
		DavidW says, "And I've love to see someone else solve the frog puzzle."
		DavidW says, "oh, LGoP will need help from the feelies, though."
		Jacqueline says, "Well, the feelies are generally all online these days, but I also have the MoI CD."
		Jacqueline says, "Which is where we get the game file."
		Jacqueline says, "maga is uploading it right now."
		Jacqueline says, "If we want to play it. I figured if we didn't today we'd want to at some point."
		DavidW says, "You might not reach the relevant spot today anyway. The feelies are needed about halfway in."
		Jacqueline says, "Is that what we want to play, then? If so, I propose we tweet and fb it and then reconvene at half past."
		Jacqueline says, "Give people a chance to join us."
		Jacqueline) Jacqueline says, "Including Steve Meretzky."
		DavidW says, "And I guess we'll just have to imagine the 'scratch n sniff' part of the game."
		DavidW says, "(LGoP is in Smell-o-vision, iirc)"
		Jacqueline asks, "So is this a yes?"
		Deesix says, "It's fine for me. I can play Trinity on my own, as JoshuaH said."
		DavidW says, "well, I like LGoP, but I'll have to watch instead of play it."
		DavidW says, "I still remember too much of it."
		Jacqueline asks (of DW), "But you said you'd enjoy seeing us tackle some stuff?"
		DavidW says, "oh sure. The writing is a lot of fun too."
		Jacqueline says, "Okay, we'll start in six or so."
		DavidW says, "I can probably even give hints if you guys get stuck, but I'd be very surprised if you got stuck early on."
		Jacqueline nods.
Deesix arrives, full of neither funk nor fun.		Jacqueline asks, "So, shall we?"
