Floyd ] Middle of the Living Room Score: 0 Floyd | Floyd | > YELL Floyd | Floyd | Suddenly the darkness is gone, and it is so light, you are blinded for Floyd | just a second. You blink and blink and then you can see the mom Floyd | holding the blanket she was covering you with. "Oh, kid, I'm so sorry, Floyd | I thought you were having fun," she says. "We'll do something else." Floyd | Floyd | That'll teach her. Floyd | Floyd | Child's Play Floyd | A child, a toy, and a rival by Stephen Granade Floyd | Copyright © 2007-2008 by Stephen Granade Floyd | All rights reserved.

Floyd | Release 2 / Serial number 080105 / Inform 7 build 5J39 (I6/v6.31 lib Floyd | 6/11N) Floyd | Floyd | Middle of the Living Room Floyd | This is the middle of the living room, it is all big and vast. But it Floyd | would be bigger and vaster if there weren't all these pillows and Floyd | stuff in a big ring around you. The mom is totally all paranoid and Floyd | whatever, she is a new mom. Floyd | Floyd | There is a red footstool, it looms over you. Floyd | Floyd | The mom is playing with you and is all excited about it. Floyd | Floyd | You can also see a squishy ball, a plush book, and your favorite toy Floyd | here. Floyd | Floyd | You eye your favorite toy and the mom sees you doing it and scoops it Floyd | up. "No, no, we're going to try pulling up!" She is all the time Floyd | trying to build your character or something. She waves the toy at you. Floyd | "Look! Look where I'm putting it!" She drops the toy on the footstool Floyd | where you can't see it unless you're all pulled up, that is just no Floyd | fair. Floyd | Floyd | > | Callista asks, "Is there a certain person who will enter commands today?" | |
| Roger disappears through an invisible gap in the MUD. You think you may have heard the sounds of chatting before the gap closed again. | DavidW says, "Sometimes we designate a player as the driver and sometimes we just let everyone play at the same time. It depends on the game's situation." | |
| DavidW says (to Callista), "Since you wanted to play this game the most, I'd suggest you should be the driver. Assuming we need a driver in the first place." | ||
| Callista says (to Floyd), "pull up on footstool" | ||
Floyd ] Middle of the Living Room (pulled up on the footstoolScore: 5 Floyd | Floyd | > PULL UP ON FOOTSTOOL Floyd | Floyd | You pull yourself up and it is one hand and another hand which is hard Floyd | because the footstool is all unstable and rocks some but then you are Floyd | all on your feet so yay you! And now that you are up here you can see Floyd | your favorite toy on the footstool. Floyd | Floyd | The mom applauds, "Way to go!" She looks at her watch and is all Floyd | "Whoops! Playgroup's about to arrive. You hang out here while mom goes Floyd | and gets ready." She stands up and steps over all of those pillows and Floyd | you are stuck here now by yourself. Floyd | Floyd | [Your score has just gone up by five points.] Floyd | Floyd | > | genericgeekgirl asks, "I don't think the game is finicky enough to need one, no?" | |
| Callista asks, "Are there any command suggestions?" | ||
| lastplaneout asks, "Are we old enough to walk?" | ||
| DavidW says (to genericgeekgirl), "Later on, it might make a difference. Not so much right now." | ||
| Benjamin says (to Floyd), "x me" | ||
Floyd ] Middle of the Living Room (pulled up on the footstoolScore: 5 Floyd | Floyd | > X ME Floyd | Floyd | You are as baby-like as ever. Floyd | Floyd | > | genericgeekgirl says, "I don't think so, given that we're at the pulling up stage." | |
| genericgeekgirl says (to Floyd), "walk" | ||
Floyd ] Middle of the Living Room (pulled up on the footstoolScore: 5 Floyd | Floyd | > WALK Floyd | Floyd | That is a developmental milestone you will reach someday but not Floyd | today. Floyd | Floyd | > | DavidW says (to lastplaneout), "We can walk. We can't carry much, though. And standing is tricky, since we need to do that pull up on things trick." | |
| genericgeekgirl says, "So no" | ||
| Callista says (to Genericgeekgirl), "Actually, there are some parts that are timeed, in a way." | ||
| genericgeekgirl says, "Ok, we can worry about that later then." | ||
| lastplaneout says, "Well, we should get that darn toy then." | ||
| DavidW says, "oh, I thought we could walk. Maybe we crawl, then." | ||
| genericgeekgirl says, "Probably" | ||
| DavidW says, "I remember going from one place to another in this game." | ||
| genericgeekgirl says (to Floyd), "take toy" | ||
Floyd ] Middle of the Living Room (pulled up on the footstoolScore: 5 Floyd | Floyd | > TAKE TOY Floyd | Floyd | You cannot reach your favorite toy because you are standing and if you Floyd | let go with one hand you would just plop down before you could get it. Floyd | Floyd | > | genericgeekgirl says, "Nooooooo" | |
| genericgeekgirl says (to Floyd), "cry" | ||
Floyd ] Middle of the Living Room (pulled up on the footstoolScore: 5 Floyd | Floyd | > CRY Floyd | Floyd | You make some noise but it doesn't really do anything for you right Floyd | now. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| Callista says (to Floyd), "shake footstool" | ||
Floyd ] Middle of the Living Room (pulled up on the footstoolScore: 10 Floyd | Floyd | > SHAKE FOOTSTOOL Floyd | Floyd | You push on the footstool and it rocks and you pull on the footstool Floyd | and it rocks and then you hear stuff fall off it! But the stuff fell Floyd | outside the ring of pillows. Floyd | Floyd | [Your score has just gone up by five points.] Floyd | Floyd | > | lastplaneout says, "Heh. Awesome." | |
| genericgeekgirl says (to Floyd), "crawl to pillows" | ||
Floyd ] Middle of the Living Room (pulled up on the footstoolScore: 10 Floyd | Floyd | > CRAWL TO PILLOWS Floyd | Floyd | You can't see any such thing. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| genericgeekgirl says (to Floyd), "crawl" | ||
Floyd ] Middle of the Living Room (pulled up on the footstoolScore: 10 Floyd | Floyd | > CRAWL Floyd | Floyd | You can crawl around and all but to really get somewhere you have to Floyd | pick a direction. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| Benjamin says (to Floyd), "x pillows" | ||
Floyd ] Middle of the Living Room (pulled up on the footstoolScore: 10 Floyd | Floyd | > X PILLOWS Floyd | Floyd | The ring is a bunch of pillows and stuff piled around in a circle so Floyd | you can't go crawling away when the mom is all distracted. The whole Floyd | thing is taller than you even when you are sitting. Floyd | Floyd | Hey wait, what is Alfadog doing wedged in the pillows like that? Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| genericgeekgirl says (to Floyd), "x alfadog" | ||
Floyd ] Middle of the Living Room (pulled up on the footstoolScore: 10 Floyd | Floyd | > X ALFADOG Floyd | Floyd | It is Alfadog, your alphabet-knowing toy and it is all wedged under Floyd | some pillows. He is about as long as you and he is about as tall as Floyd | you when you are crawling, it is as if he is your brother only he is a Floyd | dog. He has this switch on him that makes him run and say the alphabet Floyd | and such. Floyd | Floyd | > | Callista says, "We can let go of the footstool now." | |
| genericgeekgirl says (to Floyd), "down" | ||
Floyd ] Middle of the Living Room Score: 10 Floyd | Floyd | > DOWN Floyd | Floyd | You sit down on your diaper and it is good that it is all padded and Floyd | stuff. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| genericgeekgirl says (to Floyd), "l" | ||
Floyd ] Middle of the Living Room Score: 10 Floyd | Floyd | > L Floyd | Floyd | Middle of the Living Room Floyd | This is the middle of the living room, it is all big and vast. But it Floyd | would be bigger and vaster if there weren't all these pillows and Floyd | stuff in a big ring around you. Floyd | Floyd | There is a red footstool, it looms over you. Floyd | Floyd | You can also see a squishy ball, a plush book, and Alfadog here. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| lastplaneout says (to Floyd), "turn on alfadog" | ||
Floyd ] Middle of the Living Room Score: 15 Floyd | Floyd | > TURN ON ALFADOG Floyd | Floyd | You are all fumbly on the switch but then you get it turned on and Floyd | look out! Alfadog lights up and his paws start digging in and he is Floyd | barking out "A! B! C! D! EFG!" It looks like he may be stuck under Floyd | those pillows but then "L! M! N! O! P!" pillows tumble out of Floyd | his way and he is free, zipping off to the east! You hear him winding Floyd | down, "W X Y and Zeee....." And now there is this big gap in the Floyd | pillows to the east. Floyd | Floyd | That Alfadog is very powerful, he should probably be recalled. Floyd | Floyd | [Your score has just gone up by five points.] Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| Callista says (to Floyd), "sit" | ||
Floyd ] Middle of the Living Room Score: 15 Floyd | Floyd | > SIT Floyd | Floyd | Since you are already sitting you can't sit again or maybe it's like Floyd | you've already succeeded at sitting. Floyd | Floyd | > | genericgeekgirl says, "A+ sitting" | |
| lastplaneout says, "Heh." | ||
| genericgeekgirl asks, "Shall we east?" | ||
| genericgeekgirl says (to Floyd), "x ball" | ||
Floyd ] Middle of the Living Room Score: 15 Floyd | Floyd | > X BALL Floyd | Floyd | Blue and brown and white and it has teeth marks on it. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| genericgeekgirl says (to Floyd), "chew ball" | ||
Floyd ] Middle of the Living Room Score: 15 Floyd | Floyd | > CHEW BALL Floyd | Floyd | (first taking the squishy ball) Floyd | You shove the squishy ball in your mouth and start chewing on it and Floyd | that leaves your hands free. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| Callista says (to Floyd), "E" | ||
Floyd ] In Front of TV Score: 15 Floyd | Floyd | > E Floyd | Floyd | In Front of TV Floyd | The entertainment center here holds the TV all towering above you and Floyd | it has these glass doors beneath the TV that you can see stereo Floyd | equipment through. You are near the couch to the south and the middle Floyd | of the living room to the west and there is a small open area to play Floyd | in to the north. Floyd | Floyd | You can see Alfadog and your favorite toy here. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| genericgeekgirl says (to Floyd), "take toy" | ||
Floyd ] In Front of TV Score: 15
Floyd |
Floyd | > TAKE TOY
Floyd |
Floyd | You pick it up.
Floyd |
Floyd | There is a ding-dong and the mom comes clattering in all "Hang on! I'm
Floyd | coming!" She opens the door and there is Marion Kinmundy here for
Floyd | playgroup. She is carrying that little red haired girl Zoe who started
Floyd | coming to playgroup a couple of whiles ago. Zoe sees your favorite toy
Floyd | and her eyes light up.
Floyd |
Floyd | The mom must be psychic or something because she whirls around and
Floyd | snatches up your favorite toy. "Oh, no," she says with a little laugh,
Floyd | "we're not having you two fight over this thing again. I'll tuck it
Floyd | away where it'll be safe." And Marion laughs too, which is cool, that
Floyd | way they don't notice you and the little red haired girl glaring at
Floyd | each other.
Floyd |
Floyd | She wants your toy? And the mom wants to lock the toy away? Bring it
Floyd | on.
| lastplaneout says, "I'm enjoying this protagonist." | |
| Callista says, "Oh. Whoops, we had not decided yet." | ||
| Benjamin asks, "Decided what?" | ||
| lastplaneout says (to Floyd), "x zoe" | ||
Floyd ] In Front of TV Score: 25 Floyd | Floyd | Chapter 1 Floyd | Playtime Floyd | Floyd | Right behind Marion and Zoe the little red haired girl is Lisa who is Floyd | Cassie's mom. Lisa is carrying Cassie all carefully but Cassie is Floyd | squirming to get down. "Hi Farina, hi Marion--hang on Cassie, mommy's Floyd | going to put you down," Lisa says and then she steps over the baby Floyd | gate and dumps Cassie by the couch to the south of you. Floyd | Floyd | Meanwhile the mom is putting all the pillows back on the couch and Floyd | loveseat. As she finishes she asks Marion, "Can I put this toy in Floyd | Zoe's backpack for now?" Marion is all "Sure!" as she puts Zoe on the Floyd | floor over by the rocking chair and sits on the loveseat. Floyd | Floyd | [Your score has just gone up by ten points.] Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| Callista pushes the green 'space' button. | ||
Floyd ] In Front of TV Score: 25 Floyd | Floyd | > Floyd | Floyd | You stare off into space in that timeless baby way that makes you look Floyd | all smart or constipated or something. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| Benjamin says (to Floyd), "watch tv" | ||
Floyd ] In Front of TV Score: 25 Floyd | Floyd | > WATCH TV Floyd | Floyd | The TV is dark and that makes you sad. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| Benjamin says (to Floyd), "turn on tv" | ||
Floyd ] In Front of TV Score: 25 Floyd | Floyd | > TURN ON TV Floyd | Floyd | You do not have the remote control that the parents use to make the TV Floyd | turn on or off or show different things like Sesame Street or Baby Floyd | Feynman. Floyd | Floyd | > | Callista says (to Benjamin), "We weren't sure if we wanted to go east yet." | |
| DavidW says, "The goal in this game is to obtain your favourite toy, and do whatever it takes to get it." | ||
| Callista says (to Floyd), "N" | ||
Floyd ] Small Open Area Score: 25 Floyd | Floyd | > N Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Small Open Area Floyd | You are east of the gliding rocking chair that is fun to ride on and Floyd | north of the big TV that Sesame Street comes from. On the wall is a Floyd | big bookcase full of chewy books. There is a way into the kitchen to Floyd | the north but one of those baby gates is there, that is no fair. Floyd | Floyd | Part of your playpen is here, there is more of it to the southwest. Floyd | Floyd | There is a ding-dong! and the mom goes and opens the front door. It is Floyd | Becca and her son Jemison and some strange guy is there holding Watson Floyd | Mason. "Come on in, everyone," the mom says. She turns to the strange Floyd | guy, "I'm glad you could make it, Parry." Floyd | Floyd | Parry shrugs and smiles and says, "I always wondered what everyone did Floyd | during playgroup." Floyd | Floyd | "Drink mimosas!" Becca says over her shoulder to Parry and there is Floyd | polite laughter and Parry smiles like he is kinda unsure about all of Floyd | this. Floyd | Floyd | "Why don't you put Watson in here with the others?" the mom asks and Floyd | Parry nods. He ends up putting Watson by Jemison over by the loveseat. Floyd | Then all the standing adults sit down so now I guess they are sitting Floyd | adults. Floyd | Floyd | > | lastplaneout says, "Baby Feynman is a good joke." | |
| Callista says, "Haha." | ||
| Callista says (to Floyd), "N" | ||
Floyd ] Small Open Area Score: 25 Floyd | Floyd | > N Floyd | Floyd | That baby gate is completely in your way. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| Callista says (to Floyd), "W" | ||
Floyd ] By the Rocking Chair Score: 25 Floyd | Floyd | > W Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | By the Rocking Chair Floyd | The gliding rocking chair is all tall and wooden. It is where the mom Floyd | rocks you when she thinks you need a nap even though you do not need Floyd | naps. The loveseat is west and there is a small open area to the east Floyd | and a big open area in the middle of the room to the south. Floyd | Floyd | Parry's feet keep leaving the floor as he rocks. Floyd | Floyd | A backpack with bears on and your favorite toy in it is shoved behind Floyd | the rocking chair next to the wall. Floyd | Floyd | You can also see a smooth rock here. Floyd | Floyd | Zoe is sitting in a fog of grump on the floor. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| lastplaneout says (to Floyd), "x zoe" | ||
Floyd ] By the Rocking Chair Score: 25 Floyd | Floyd | > X ZOE Floyd | Floyd | Grr, Zoe Kinmundy. That little red-haired girl has this sundress-like Floyd | jumper thing, it's not like you know fashion or anything so you're not Floyd | sure exactly what it is but it leaves her arms and legs bare for speed Floyd | and evil. Her red hair is in pigtails, like that will fool anyone into Floyd | thinking she is nice. Floyd | Floyd | Zoe clenches her tiny fists and complains loudly about life. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| genericgeekgirl says (to Floyd), "complain louder" | ||
Floyd ] By the Rocking Chair Score: 25 Floyd | Floyd | > COMPLAIN LOUDER Floyd | Floyd | That's not a verb I recognize. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| genericgeekgirl says (to Floyd), "pull pigtail" | ||
Floyd ] By the Rocking Chair Score: 25 Floyd | Floyd | > PULL PIGTAIL Floyd | Floyd | That would certainly knock Zoe over but that would get everyone in an Floyd | uproar so it's best not to do it unless you really need to. Floyd | Floyd | > | lastplaneout says, "Heh." | |
| lastplaneout says (to Floyd), "x rock" | ||
Floyd ] By the Rocking Chair Score: 25 Floyd | Floyd | > X ROCK Floyd | Floyd | The mom found this one one of your walks, well it wasn't really a Floyd | walk, more like the mom driving you around in a stroller, anyway she Floyd | found this rock and gave it to you. Floyd | Floyd | Zoe screws up her face and bursts into wails. That makes Marion sigh Floyd | and she says, "Parry, if you don't mind?" So Parry stops rocking long Floyd | enough for Marion to reach the backpack under the rocking chair and Floyd | then she digs around and pulls out a soft foam block and closes the Floyd | backpack and she gives the soft foam block to Zoe. Then Zoe sees that Floyd | it's not your favorite toy, ha ha to her, and she fusses and tries to Floyd | shove the soft foam block away but Marion says, "Shh, Zoe, be calm," Floyd | and makes Zoe take it. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| genericgeekgirl says (to Floyd), "eat rock" | ||
Floyd ] By the Rocking Chair Score: 25 Floyd | Floyd | > EAT ROCK Floyd | Floyd | (first taking the smooth rock) Floyd | You shove the smooth rock in your mouth and start chewing on it and Floyd | that leaves your hands free. Floyd | Floyd | Zoe looks at the soft foam block and she sighs. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| Benjamin says (to Floyd), "open backpack" | ||
Floyd ] By the Rocking Chair Score: 25 Floyd | Floyd | > OPEN BACKPACK Floyd | Floyd | You would but Parry is rocking, rocking, rocking, and you can't reach Floyd | under the rocking chair to get to the backpack while he is rocking, Floyd | rocking, rocking. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| genericgeekgirl says (to Floyd), "put rock under chair" | ||
Floyd ] By the Rocking Chair Score: 25 Floyd | Floyd | > PUT ROCK UNDER CHAIR Floyd | Floyd | That would be a good way to stop the rocking chair from rocking but it Floyd | is a gliding rocking chair and so even if you put something under Floyd | there it could keep gliding. Floyd | Floyd | Zoe gives the soft foam block a brief chew. Floyd | Floyd | > | lastplaneout says, "Clever." | |
| Benjamin says, "Intelligent baby." | ||
| Callista says (to Floyd), "get rock" | ||
Floyd ] By the Rocking Chair Score: 25 Floyd | Floyd | > GET ROCK Floyd | Floyd | You pop the smooth rock out of your mouth. Floyd | Floyd | > | lastplaneout asks, "Maybe we need to check out more of the room?" | |
| genericgeekgirl says (to Floyd), "l" | ||
Floyd ] By the Rocking Chair Score: 25 Floyd | Floyd | > L Floyd | Floyd | By the Rocking Chair Floyd | The gliding rocking chair is all tall and wooden. It is where the mom Floyd | rocks you when she thinks you need a nap even though you do not need Floyd | naps. The loveseat is west and there is a small open area to the east Floyd | and a big open area in the middle of the room to the south. Floyd | Floyd | Parry's feet keep leaving the floor as he rocks. Floyd | Floyd | A backpack with bears on and your favorite toy in it is shoved behind Floyd | the rocking chair next to the wall. Floyd | Floyd | Zoe has hold of a soft foam block but she looks like she doesn't like Floyd | it. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| genericgeekgirl says (to Floyd), "x chair" | ||
Floyd ] By the Rocking Chair Score: 25 Floyd | Floyd | > X CHAIR Floyd | Floyd | The dad likes to sit in the chair and rock back and forth and back and Floyd | forth and back and forth which is okay for napping (not that you need Floyd | naps) but is not so good when you are trying to pull up on it. Floyd | Floyd | Lisa all of a sudden busts out with "I know I asked this last time but Floyd | does anyone else's boobs hurt? Because here lately feeding Cassie is Floyd | murder." Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| Callista says (to Floyd), "W" | ||
Floyd ] Loveseat at the North Score: 25 Floyd | Floyd | > W Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Loveseat at the North Floyd | This is the part of the loveseat that is to the north. It goes on to Floyd | the south and you could totally slip around the end of the loveseat to Floyd | the west except that a baby gate is in the way. There is the rocking Floyd | chair to the east as well, that is always fun. Floyd | Floyd | The legs of Marion dangle from the loveseat. Floyd | Floyd | "Mine don't," Parry says quietly, but Becca is all "That's why I got Floyd | Jemison on solids as soon as I could." Floyd | Floyd | > | genericgeekgirl says, "Way to make it all about you, Mr Parry." | |
| Callista says, "We can't use the rock to stop the chair." | ||
| genericgeekgirl says (to Floyd), "bite marion" | ||
Floyd ] Loveseat at the North Score: 25 Floyd | Floyd | > BITE MARION Floyd | Floyd | It is no good kicking or biting a parent, it is better to rebel in Floyd | less obvious ways. Floyd | Floyd | The mom asks Lisa, "Have you tried lanolin?" Floyd | Floyd | > | DavidW says, "At least not yet." | |
| DavidW says, "I got the impression that the rock was a partial solution." | ||
| DavidW says, "And maybe you need to stop the gliding first, then use the rock to stop the rocking." | ||
| genericgeekgirl disappears through an invisible gap in the MUD. You think you may have heard the sounds of chatting before the gap closed again. | lastplaneout asks, "Or maybe we need to push something under Parry's feet?" | |
| Callista says (to Genericgeekgirl), "Haha." | ||
| Benjamin says, "We should explore the room." | ||
| Callista says, "Or, we can find Jemison. He will watch us with the rock." | ||
| Callista says (to Floyd), "S" | ||
Floyd ] Loveseat at the South Score: 25 Floyd | Floyd | > S Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Loveseat at the South Floyd | This is the south end of the loveseat, there is more loveseat to the Floyd | north and a big play area to the east and to the south is the couch Floyd | that is bigger than the loveseat. Floyd | Floyd | Those are Becca's legs by the loveseat. Floyd | Floyd | You can also see a rattly car here. Floyd | Floyd | Jemison and Watson are here. Jemison watches you watching him. Watson Floyd | sits all sad and dumpy on the floor. Floyd | Floyd | Watson gingerly picks up the rattly car. When Jemison sees Watson take Floyd | the rattly car, he gets all excited and he starts watching the rattly Floyd | car and thus Watson. Floyd | Floyd | "You and your remedies, Farina," Lisa says. "Lanolin this and cabbage Floyd | leaves that." Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| lastplaneout says (to Floyd), "x jemison" | ||
Floyd ] Loveseat at the South Score: 25 Floyd | Floyd | > X JEMISON Floyd | Floyd | Jemison Thorsby's name is not one you would want, that is for sure. He Floyd | is stylish in his blue onesie and he has a small mouth and these big Floyd | eyes that are watching, always watching, it is kinda creepy. He is Floyd | clearly all interested in the rattly car. Floyd | Floyd | "It makes me glad Zoe was so good at latching on," Marion says. Grr, Floyd | Zoe. Floyd | Floyd | > | Callista asks, "Haha. Why is Watson always so sad?" | |
| lastplaneout says (to Floyd), "x watson" | ||
Floyd ] Loveseat at the South Score: 25 Floyd | Floyd | > X WATSON Floyd | Floyd | Watson Mason has this big round face that is perfect for commercials Floyd | and baby food labels, only his face is always tear-streaked so maybe Floyd | he is not cut out for show-biz. Maybe he is sad because he is dressed Floyd | like a teeny tiny engineer in his polo onesie with a collar and Floyd | because he smells like baby powder. He is clutching a rattly car. Floyd | Floyd | Lisa sighs and says, "Maybe I'll try the lanolin," and the mom says, Floyd | "Let us know how it works." Floyd | Floyd | Watson puts the rattly car down. Jemison suddenly sees that the rattly Floyd | car is available and he scoops it up. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| Callista says (to Floyd), "show rock to Jemison" | ||
Floyd ] Loveseat at the South Score: 25 Floyd | Floyd | > SHOW ROCK TO JEMISON Floyd | Floyd | Jemison gets all excited and drops a rattly car and starts watching Floyd | you and the smooth rock. Floyd | Floyd | Watson pulls up on Becca who says "Watch the pants, kid!" and she Floyd | laughs and puts him back on the floor. Floyd | Floyd | > | Benjamin says, "He is dissatisfied with his parents' fashion sense, obviously." | |
| lastplaneout says (to Floyd), "i" | ||

It goes on to Floyd | the south and you could totally slip around the end of the loveseat to Floyd | the west except that a baby gate is in the way. There is the rocking Floyd | chair to the east as well, that is always fun. Floyd | Floyd | The legs of Marion dangle from the loveseat. Floyd | Floyd | Jemison comes in after you and settles close by you and looks Floyd | pointedly at the smooth rock. Floyd | Floyd | Jemison cannot look away from you and the smooth rock. Floyd | Floyd | > | lastplaneout says, "Aha." | |

Floyd ] By the Rocking Chair Score: 25 Floyd | Floyd | > PUT ROCK UNDER CHAIR Floyd | Floyd | That would be a good way to stop the rocking chair from rocking but it Floyd | is a gliding rocking chair and so even if you put something under Floyd | there it could keep gliding. Floyd | Floyd | > | DavidW says, "I don't remember how this all works, but I know I've played it all before." | |

Floyd | Floyd | With them all gone the air kinda leaks out of you, it has been a long Floyd | playdate. The mom gathers you and your favorite toy up. "C'mon, kid, Floyd | let's get you to bed before you completely pass out." But you do not Floyd | need naps, does she not understand that? Floyd | Floyd | Though your crib is nice and soft and your favorite toy chimes a bit Floyd | as you curl around it and your teeny eyelids are so heavy. Floyd | Floyd | So...heavy....

| DavidW says, "Child's Play" | ||
| Genevieve says, "unfortunately it looks like you missed most of it." | ||
| Callista says, "It's been fun playing Child's Play, but I have to go. Hope you all had fun too." | ||
| DavidW says, "Thanks, Callista." | ||
| Callista goes home. | ||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "quit" | ||

| Floyd asks, "That game over already? It was just getting good. Wanna play another?" | Benjamin says, "I had fun while I was here." | |
| DavidW says, "Thanks everyone." | ||
| Iria says, "Well, it happens." | ||
| DavidW says (to Genevieve), "Floyd is free now." | ||
| Benjamin has had his fill of playing for now, and goes back to the Lounge. | Genevieve says, "Glad you could play, Benjamin. It's always nice to have some new folks around to offer their insights." | |
| Benjamin says, "Glad I could partake." | ||
| Callista arrives, full of neither funk nor fun. | Callista asks, "Is ClubFloyd still going?" | |
| DavidW says (to Callista), "No. You won. And I quit the game after you left." | ||
| Genevieve says, "Glad you managed to win, Callista. I know you were really frustrated yesterday when your interpreter crashed." | ||
| Callista says (to DavidW), "Yes, it was fun. I left because I thought my device had a lot less battery and needed to be charged, but it only lost about 20 percent, so I'm still good." | ||
| Callista asks (of Genevieve), "It certainly made me mad. I kept wondering why it didn't just leave my game open?" | ||
| Callista says (to Genevieve), "Also, it has not that good grammar because you are a baby, and babies don't know what grammar is at that age." | ||
| Callista says (to Genevieve), "That was just a guess of mine." | ||
| Genevieve says, "h, I realize that. But the writing in the game itself is terrible though. At least, as far as I'm concerned. Glad you enjoyed it though." | ||
| Callista goes home. | Genevieve personally thinks that game is nothing to, erm, write home about. :-P | |
| DavidW says (to Genevieve), "really? It does a lot of things rather well." | ||
| Genevieve says, "Okay. Well, maybe I didn't give it enough of a chance. The horrible punctuation and bad grammar got under my skin I guess." | ||
| DavidW says, "It's not at all easy to manage a group of NPCs in an extended way over lots and lots of turns like that." | ||
| Benjamin says (to Genevieve), "I dislike the writing style too." | ||
| Genevieve says, "Glad I'm not the only one. :-) But David's got a good point. And I only looked at it briefly." | ||
| Genevieve says, "It's just not my sort of game I guess." | ||
| Benjamin says, "But yes, that alone does not make it a bad game." | ||
| DavidW says, "It also does an unusual amount of scoping tricks so things can be both near and far." | ||
| DavidW says, "I don't think I even noticed any grammar issues." | ||
| DavidW says, "But I rate author enthusiasm a lot higher than grammar." | ||
| Genevieve says, "I did. Lots. :-P But hey, ClubFloyd is for everyone, so as long as all the people who were playing today enjoyed themselves, that's the main thing. It's not all about me. :-)" | ||
| Benjamin says, "I didn't mean grammar issues, just the simplistic and repetitive writing style." | ||
| Benjamin says, "It was just an observation though, it's not like it made the game unplayable." | ||
| Genevieve says, "And I agree: author enthusiasm is very important. I'm just used to good writing in my IF, so that's what I tend to expect to see." | ||
| Iria nods. | ||
| Genevieve says, "Unless it's Lost Pig, in which case the writing is intentionally bad because Grunk is a dumb orc. :-)" | ||
| DavidW says (to Genevieve), "I suppose if I ever get version 2 of Four Days of Summer written, I should run it past you first." | ||
| Genevieve says, "Well, if it makes you feel any better, I didn't notice any issues with the first version except for like one typo." | ||
| DavidW says, "But I think I'm a weak author in general. It just isn't natural for me." | ||
| Genevieve says, "No way! You're an excellent IF author." | ||
| Benjamin says, "Something more positive about the writing for me was the conversations the parents were having in the background. I thought they were amusing and well done." | ||
| DavidW says (to Benjamin), "Yeah, the parents were fun. You're so focused on the kids, it's easy to miss all the stuff that the adults are up to." | ||
| Iria has had her fill of playing for now, and goes back to the Lounge. | Genevieve says, "Now that I think of it, good puzzles are a lot more important in a piece of IF than perfect writing anyway. See, if I were to publish an IF game, the writing would probably be perfectly descriptive... but the game wouldn't go anywhere. :-) The puzzles would suck. It'd be like a beautiful car without an engine." | |
| Genevieve is terrible at coming up with good puzzles. | ||
| DavidW says, "So it would be an Art Show piece. Those are fine too." | ||
| DavidW says, "Have you played any Art Show games? They're generally without any real puzzles." | ||
| Genevieve says, "But not very interesting to most people." | ||
