#ClubFloyd Discussion

|
| Jacqueline says, "Okay. So." | ||
| Jacqueline says, "I am writing a game for the Star Trek game jam." | ||
| Teaspoon says, "OOOH" | ||
| DavidW asks, "Star Trek jam?" | ||
| Jacqueline says, "Yeah. It's not an IF game jam, it's just a general game jam." | ||
| Jacqueline says, "And so I am writing a thing set in the era of The Next Generation." | ||
| DavidW says, "Kobyashi Marmaladu." | ||
| Jacqueline exclaims, "Stardate 42003.5, to be precise!" | ||
| Teaspoon asks, "OOCS, or the regulars?" | ||
| Jacqueline asks, "OOCS?" | ||
| DavidW says, "Out of continuities" | ||
| Teaspoon says, "Er, original characters." | ||
| Draconis arrives, full of neither funk nor fun. | DavidW says (to Tsp), "huh" | |
| Jacqueline says, "It's in continuity to the degree that that's possible given that they were still flipping stuff around a bit in season two." | ||
| Jacqueline says, "But yeah, it's set at the beginning of S2." | ||
| Jacqueline says, "So, first off, I'm way too happy with my cover art:" | ||
| Jacqueline | [LINK] | ||
| Emily says, "NICE" | ||
| DavidW says, "I suppose it's only between S1 and S2 that Rand and Chekov could meet." | ||
| Jota asks, "Is this AIF?" | ||
| Jacqueline says (to Jota), "No, not at all." | ||
| DavidW asks, "oh, S2 of TNG?" | ||
| Jota says, "Because I think all the Star Trek text adventure fanfic I've heard of was AIF." | ||
| Jacqueline says, "Though maga has just recently given me the backstory that lots of early AIF was Star Trek-themed. I did not know this." | ||
| DavidW says (to Jota), "Believe it or not, some Trek fic isn't smutty at all." | ||
| Jota says, "And that title... well, 'furry AU Star Trek AIF' is not an implausible genre for it." | ||
| Jacqueline says, "He says there's a scarily-detailed Deanna Troi simulation out there." | ||
| Teaspoon says, "I like this a great deal." | ||
| Jota asks (of W), "Text adventures?" | ||
| Jacqueline says, "Anyway, it is a romance, but it is not AIF." | ||
| DavidW says (to Jacqueline), "Slash began with Kirk/Spock and XTrek is a term for adult Trek in particular." | ||
| Jacqueline says, "And to answer DW's question, yes. Beginning of Season 2 of TNG" | ||
| Jacqueline says (to DW), "Yeah. I read some of that, back in the day." | ||
| Roger says, "That cover art is pretty swell" | ||
| DavidW says (to Jota), "I think there's at least two text IF set in the Trek universe that doesn't involve sex, yes." | ||
| Draconis asks (of DavidW), "What's the second one?" | ||
| Jacqueline says, "Anyway, I will likely not finish this by the 30th, but in the words of Zoe Quinn, the way to win a game jam is to make a thing, it doesn't have to be finished or good. So my plan is to release an intro and, unlike Waterhouse, finish it by the end of July, which is doable because it is not large in scope, really." [Updated spoiler alert: Jacqueline never intends to complete this game!] | ||
| Jacqueline says, "And so today I'd like for you all to play the first scene and a bit of the second." | ||
| Teaspoon says, "Sounds like a good plan." | ||
| DavidW says (to Draconis), "I didn't hear anyone mention a first, and I don't remember specific titles." | ||
| Bert arrives, ready to play with the toys. | Draconis says (to DavidW), "Mostly a joke. The first one being Jacq's." | |
| Jacqueline asks, "Ready?" | ||
| DavidW says, "I guess. My breathing is closer to normal, at least." | ||
| Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "load sleepmask skalpha" | ||

Floyd | Floyd | "Yeah," you respond, surprised. You haven't been on this ship long, Floyd | and didn't think you'd spoken to Guinan enough for her to be able to Floyd | recall your name. You're not sure you've even ever introduced Floyd | yourself. Floyd | Floyd | Not for the first time, you wonder why Starfleet uniforms don't come Floyd | with name tags. Floyd | Floyd | 1 "How do you know my name?" Floyd | 2 Just let her keep talking. Floyd | Floyd | Action or Reply: | Jacqueline says (to Tsp), "Yeah, I think somebody made a set of keys. :)" | |

Floyd | Floyd | "Good to meet you, Anne. My name is Guinan. I tend bar... and I Floyd | listen." she smiles at you. You already knew who she was, though this Floyd | is the first time you've really spoken to her at any length. "I've Floyd | heard people saying you're smart. That they're expecting a lot from Floyd | you, but that you're up to the task." Floyd | Floyd | 1 That's good to hear. [Confident] Floyd | 2 That's good to hear.

Floyd | Floyd | "Must be pretty complicated indeed to throw off a well-educated Floyd | engineer like yourself," muses Guinan. You're not at all convinced Floyd | that she's being sincere. Floyd | Floyd | 1 "Yeah? Well, I must have missed the class on how not to ruin Floyd | friendships at the Academy." Floyd | 2 "If friends came with engineering schematics I'd probably be Floyd | more on top of this. Floyd | 3 "I'm kind of worried I've broken something I'll never be able Floyd | to repair."

Floyd |
Floyd | "I guess if friends came with engineering schematics I'd probably be
Floyd | more on top of this." You meant for that to be a joke, but instead it
Floyd | comes across as sort of defeated and sad. Guinan smiles, aware of your
Floyd | intent.
Floyd |
Floyd | "Something tells me you'll be able to think your way through this
Floyd | one." As she says this, she nods toward the entrance to Ten Forward.
Floyd | Following her gaze, you see John.
Floyd |
Floyd | You turn around quickly, suddenly not so sure you want to go through
Floyd | with this conversation. But it's too late to get Guinan's advice —
Floyd | she's quickly moved on to helping other customers.

| Jacqueline says, "That's what I'm hoping to achieve today." | ||
| says, "I'll bring back the finished game to Floyd in a month or so, DW." | ||
| Jacqueline asks, "So, you like it so far?" | ||
| Jacqueline asks, "Can I take the 'waaah' to mean that?" | ||
| DavidW says, "'John, I don't know how to tell you this, but.... you have no section.'" | ||
| Jacqueline says, "heh" | ||
| DavidW says, "Yes, I like it so far." | ||
| Jacqueline says, "If you all want to play the Guinan conversation again, totally cool, but I think I'll go back to working on this. I'll definitely get a lot out of this transcript. Thank you all so much." | ||
| DavidW says, "'If you agree to the operation, you should be able to have as big a section as anyone.;" | ||
| Jacqueline... | Jacqueline says, "er, ..." | |
| DavidW says, "Also, in *my* fanfic of the game, we get to wear Guinan's hat at least once." | ||
| Bert says, "Huh. In *mine*, Guinan keeps it on, but in the end, there's a kitten sitting in it." | ||
| DavidW says, "What's weird is that underneath Guinan's hat is another Guinan's hat." | ||
| Jacqueline says, "I look forward to your fanfic of my fanfic, DW. I'm not so sure I look forward to Jota's fanfic where Riker tries to provide Anne with career-advancement opportunities." | ||
| Bert says, ">SWIPE RIGHT" | ||
| Roger says, "Anne undergoes experimental medical procedure, ends up with a righteous beard, becomes Admiral" | ||
| Jacqueline says, "You can become Admiral without a beard in the 24th century, Roger." | ||
| DavidW says, "Anne Blackbeard, captain of the seven galax-seas." | ||
| Bert asks (of Roger), "Are you suggesting that I used to be called 'Anne'?" | ||
| DavidW says, "I'm wondering where kittens come into this. Maybe there's a giant space ball-of-yarn." | ||
| Bert asks, "Possibly in the form of a cat cafe on the Holodeck?" | ||
| Bert says, "But I am just randomly speculating here." | ||
| DavidW says, "If we're more-or-less done, I'm gonna lie down again for a bit." | ||
| Bert says (to Floyd), "lie down" | ||

| Bert has disconnected. | Jacqueline | Action: remove uniform | |
| Jacqueline | It's kind of weird, you think to yourself, how sometimes I get these weird impulses to, say, strip down naked or just scream at random. Thankfully, I never actually give in to these whims. | ||
| Jacqueline says, "I think that'll be my reply to your all's attempts." | ||
| Jacqueline says, "Scream will also be implemented, of course." | ||
| Jacqueline says, "Damn. On second thought, maga has better response." | ||
| Jacqueline | It's going to be months until we get shore leave on Risa. Ugh, too long. | ||
| Jota says, "Ha." | ||
| Roger has had his fill of playing for now, and goes back to the Lounge. | Roger says, "also mandatory: implementing the Picard maneouver" | |
| Roger says, "PULL DOWN UNIFORM JACKET" | ||
| Jacqueline says, "Her uniform doesn't have a front zipper, I'm afraid." | ||
| Roger says, "No when he pulls down the bottom hem" | ||
| Jacqueline says, "Oh." | ||
| verbalK goes home. | DavidW says, "back" | |
| Jacqueline says, "I don't think they're poking at it anymore. But you're welcome to if you'd like. I left it running and Perry is still logging." | ||
| DavidW says, "I don't know what the official word is on clothing fasteners in Star Trek uniforms, but I think it's some sort of miracle velcro that you just press together and it's as reliable as a zipper." | ||
| Jacqueline says, "I'm trying to churn out the rest of the John scene today, then the stuff you all found. Then I'll likely call it good for the purposes of the jam. The player will at least know they're getting called off to Holodeck 2, and possibly I'll introduce that scene with cats everywhere near the entrance to that holodeck." | ||
| DavidW says, "'You said a meow-ful.'" | ||
| Jacqueline says, "There's a great episode in Enterprise where T'Pol is stuck in the 1950s on Earth and needs resources really, really badly, so she shares the technology of velcro to someone to barter for what she needs. He ends up really rich." | ||
| DavidW says, "I've never understood how velcro is actually manufactured. Like, I know it's all hooks and eyes, but not how anyone could make the stuff without going mad." | ||
| DavidW says, "and I think the actual uniforms used by the actors do have zippers but they're hidden from view." | ||
| DavidW says, "also secret pockets." | ||
| Jacqueline says, "I sincerely hope that there are pockets in the 24th century, yeayh." | ||
| DavidW says, "Pockets are a great invention." | ||
| Jacqueline says, "Pockets are the bomb, yeah." | ||
| DavidW says, "If you don't have pockets, your next best option is a utility belt like Batman's." | ||
| DavidW says, "After that, I guess there's fanny packs, those sash-things you can attach grenades to, and utility aprons (which add lots of pockets temporarily)." | ||
| DavidW says, "and purses, of coruse." | ||
| DavidW says, "course" | ||
| DavidW says, "and after that there's luggage of all kinds plus human porters to carry all that luggage for you." | ||
| DavidW says, "And it's weird that Star Trek somehow doesn't use any of the above." | ||
| DavidW says, "Except for the occasional food tray." | ||
| Jacqueline says, "Hm. Don't they use luggage. I feel like Lwaxana shows up with luggage and a porter." | ||
| DavidW says, "oh, yes, Lwaxana did that one time." | ||
| DavidW says, "I forget that instance." | ||
| DavidW says, "She totally did that." | ||
| inky says, "maybe that's just for status" | ||
| DavidW says, "I think most people come aboard with very few physical objects at all. Personal photos and diares and so on can be forwarded electronically, and basic needs like clothing and toiletries can be synthesized at will." | ||
| Jacqueline says (to inky), "Or just for drama. She likes to make an entrance." | ||
| DavidW says, "diaries" | ||
| Roger says, "otoh the tng enterprise is ridiculously huge and mostly empty, so they might all have big warehouse spaces" | ||
| Jacqueline asks, "Possibly they just beam stuff to people's rooms?" | ||
| DavidW) Roger says, "Amazon rents decks 23 to 26." | ||
| Roger says, "The Jeffries Tubes are pneumatic delivery pipes" | ||
| DavidW says, "hm. You never see anyone lugging furniture through the hallways ever." | ||
| Roger says, "space roadies" | ||
| DavidW says, "'Everything's weightless in space, my ass.'" | ||
| DavidW has had his fill of playing for now, and goes back to the Lounge. | Roger says, "Got to move this microwave emitters; custom medbay deliveries hey" | |
| Jacqueline says, "Actually, having relayed this conversation to maga, he wanted me to point out that they do have a space reserved on the Enterprise D for storing a whale." | ||
| DavidW says, "ha ha. Good point." | ||
| DavidW says, "I can't imagine what sort of modular design would allow for that usage." | ||
| Roger says, "Another good reason to not bother having a lot of personal crap: holodeck" | ||
| Jacqueline exclaims, "It is humorously highlighted on this map!" | ||
| Jacqueline | [LINK] | ||
| Jacqueline says, "I came across that while researching for this game." | ||
| Jacqueline says, "I like how there are tiny marine mammals on the map." | ||
| Roger says, "I think that might be from the Tech Manual book" | ||
| DavidW says, "marvelous" | ||
| Jacqueline says (to Roger), "I don't care where it is from, I am in love with it." | ||
| DavidW says, "'Ensign woOOaaaaHooowhaaoooooo reporting for duty, sir.'" | ||
| Roger says, "It opens up a lot more AIF fanfic possibilities" | ||
