ClubFloyd Transcript:
Best Gopher Ever by Arthur DiBianca
As played on ifMUD on 2018-04-08

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 Best Gopher Ever written by Arthur DiBianca. It was an entrant in the main festival for Spring Thing 2018. You can learn more about the game, including how to download it, by visiting IFDB.


WARNING! Below you will find a transcript of people playing this game, and it goes without saying that the transcript is full of spoilers. So, if you've never played this game, 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.
