ClubFloyd Transcript:
TUNDRA by David Dyte
As played on ifMUD on May 30, 2021

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 TUNDRA written by David Dyte. Tundra is an unreleased game by David Dyte, which recently came to light. There is no IFDB page for it!


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.

#ClubFloyd Discussion



Roger says, "Tundra is a good an idea as any, is where I'm at."
Roger says, "Might not be suited for summertime play but oh wells"
DavidW asks, "The one I uploaded a week or two ago and totally forgot about?"
Knight_Otu says, "I mean, we played Mrs Claus in spring/summer as well."
DavidW says (to ClubFloyd), "load sleepmask tundra"

CF | Terence squinted weakly at young Matthew, kneeling at his bedside.
CF | "Our village is in grave danger, boy. The evil wizard from the north
CF | has summoned a great dragon, who even now threatens our very
CF | existence. You are our only remaining hope."
CF |
CF | Matthew paused for a long moment, then softly spoke. "But what can I
CF | do, wise one? I am but a puny champion to send against one so mighty.
CF | And I must stay here and help to care for you."
CF |
CF | "There are more than enough villagers to take care of me, Matthew.
CF | Someone must take care of this wizard..."
CF |
CF | But before he could finish, there was a blinding flash of light, a
CF | resounding thunderclap, and suddenly all was darkness.
CF |
CF |
CF | [Please press SPACE to begin.] Knight_Otu exclaims, "The chosen kid!"
MoyTravis says, "Hey, past tense. I wonder if it's all past tense, or just the intro."
DavidW says, "Dragons. Why did it have to be dragons."
Roger says, "But thou must"
DavidW pushes the green 'space' button.

CF | It is dark and silent for a long time. But as the day grows colder
CF | coming into the evening, you wake to find yourself alone and
CF | abandoned, tent and firewood a distant memory. Is this your friends'
CF | idea of a practical joke?

CF ] Going places
CF |
CF |
CF | Moving from room to room in most text games is a simple matter of
CF | choosing a direction, for instance GO SOUTHEAST. This can be
CF | abbreviated to SE. As well as the compass directions, UP and DOWN are
CF | available. You may also want to ENTER or FOLLOW an object.
CF |
CF | Sometimes you will see things you can climb onto or down from. Try
CF | CLIMB LADDER for instance, or JUMP ON HORSE, or JUMP OFF BED. EXIT and
CF | ENTER may work just as well, or GET ON and GET OFF. Mostly these
CF | actions will have the same effect, but sometimes they may not- be
CF | aware.
CF |
CF | [Please press SPACE.] DavidW says, "JUMP ON HORSE. HOP ON POP."

DavidW says (to ClubFloyd), "listen"

CF |

DavidW says (to ClubFloyd), "read book"

CF ] Comfortable
CF |
CF | > READ BOOK
CF |
CF | You skim the pages, learning more of the courageous deeds of young
CF | Matthew, guided by his mentor Terence into the lair of the great

CF | Matthew faced.
CF |

CF |

CF |
CF | Matthew rugged himself up as warmly as he could. He knew full well
CF | that he would need all his strength for the battle ahead, and giving
CF | his energy away to the cold would be foolish.
CF |
CF | > Roger says, "hmmm interesting conceit"
DavidW says (to ClubFloyd), "look in pack"
CF ] Snow Storm Not Alone?

CF |
CF | > LOOK IN PACK
CF |
CF | You can't see inside, since the backpack is closed.

DavidW says (to ClubFloyd), "open pack"

DavidW says (to ClubFloyd), "x stone"
CF ] Snow Storm Not Alone?

CF |
CF | > X STONE
CF |
CF | A small, heavy lodestone, which was packed as a souvenir along with

DavidW says (to ClubFloyd), "consult book about lodestone"
CF ] Snow Storm Not Alone

CF |
CF | "This stone was supposed to be for luck!"
CF |
CF | Matthew wrenched at the rock, eventually dislodging it from the iron
CF | sword. Throwing it away a safe distance, he readied himself for
CF | battle. But the sword had rubbed the stone a little too much- it
CF | immediately crashed into his shield.
CF |
CF | A fine mess.
CF |
CF | A near white wolf hobbles sadly towards you through the storm, pausing
CF | at your feet. Before you can react, she limps away again, leaving a
CF | visible trail in the snow.
CF |
CF | > MoyTravis asks, "Are we actually Matthew or just a guy who has a book about Matthew?"
Roger says, "ah, compass-building"
Roger says, "I think we're Just a Guy"
MoyTravis asks, "x me?"
DavidW says (to ClubFloyd), "x me"

CF |
CF | > X ME
CF |
CF | A dishevelled, fatigued, homesick young person with a sore head,
CF | surviving the cold quite comfortably.
CF |

DavidW says, "Should we f... yes, that"
DavidW says (to ClubFloyd), "follow wolf"

CF |
CF | A deep trail leading into the storm, fading slowly as the snow falls.
CF |
CF | >
DavidW says (to ClubFloyd), "follow trail"
CF ] Defying the Storm Not Alone
CF ] Comfortable
CF |
CF | > FOLLOW TRAIL
CF |
CF | Perhaps this is a way out. You tramp along after the wolf, finding her
CF | eventually stopped near a tall tree. As you arrive, you look behind
CF | you, but snow has already covered the trail.
CF |
CF | Defying the Storm
CF | Snow lies thick on the ground and swirls through the air. You cannot
CF | see far in any direction.
CF |
CF | A tall tree stands here, defying the storm. High in its branches you
CF | can see a wolf cub.
CF |
CF | Kneeling in the snow is a near white wolf, staring sadly at her cub in
CF | the tall tree.
CF |

DavidW says (to ClubFloyd), "climb tree"

DavidW says (to ClubFloyd), "x tree"

CF |

CF |
CF | The tree appears to be some sort of fir. It is swaying in the wind,
CF | but seems safe enough. In the branches of the tree you can see a wolf
CF | cub.
CF |
CF | The mother wolf licks at her paw, but recoils in pain.
CF |
CF | >
DavidW says (to ClubFloyd), "x mother wolf"
CF ] Defying the Storm Not Alone

CF |
CF | > X MOTHER WOLF
CF |
CF | An almost white wolf, fully grown. She is favouring her front right

CF | who is playing in the tall tree.

DavidW says (to ClubFloyd), "diagnose wolf"

DavidW says (to ClubFloyd), "drink brandy"

CF |

CF ] Comfortable
CF |
CF | > TAKE CUB
CF |
CF | Carefully you hold out the backpack for the cub to step into. The wolf
CF | cub eagerly leaps into the backpack as the mother wolf notices and
CF | begins to howl loudly. Thinking better of starting a fight, you
CF | carefully climb down the tree. As you reach the ground, the cub jumps
CF | out and bounds over to his mother. First making sure her son is well,
CF | she looks towards you with a newfound trust.

DavidW says (to ClubFloyd), "x paw"
CF ] Defying the Storm With Friends

CF |

CF |
CF | The mother wolf's paw is sore and swollen, with what seems to be the
CF | top of a sharp needle sticking out.
CF |
CF | The mother wolf looks expectantly at you. She moves towards you, but
CF | stops as her sore paw hits the ground, and whimpers slightly.

CF |
CF | With trusting eyes, the mother wolf allows you to dab some brandy on

CF | > MoyTravis says, "The Urban Dictionary entry for "kunkel" is "The practice of dating numerous coworkers within a short span of time." last updated in 2008."
Knight_Otu asks, "I think Kunkel is a reference to a reviewer who had unfortunate ideas about IF?"
Knight_Otu asks, "Or was that something else?"
MoyTravis asks, "Oh well, sure all right then?"
DavidW says, "yeah, I've heard of kunkel in other IF games, but I have no real idea what it means."
Roger says, "We have enough time to play the other Tundra game, probably"
DavidW says, "I think Sins of Mimesis has someone called the Kunkel."
DavidW asks, "What other Tundra game?"
Knight_Otu says, "I think there's an explanation in the Sins against Mimesis transcript, but I'm not digging it out now."
Roger says, "Jacq was saying earlier that she ran across another game named Tundra that was also unreleased, I think. But if it's not handy, ennhh."
Knight_Otu says (to Roger), "As I understand it, that other game isn't uploaded."
Roger says, "That is probably the case."
DavidW says, "I'm taking a bathroom break regardless."
Roger says, "Among other games that might promise dragons, I notice Portcullis"
MoyTravis says, "Down for anything, really."
MoyTravis asks, "Portcullis is apparently in javascript though?"
DavidW says, "back"
Roger says, "It's on the list so it's here, somewhere, somehow"
DavidW says, "yeah, Portcullis is JS but I do recommend people play it."
DavidW says, "It's a Robin Johnson game."
DavidW says, "It's basically set in the world of Zork without explicitly saying so."
DavidW says, "I think I have to lie down. I'm almost falling over in my chair here. Didn't get enough sleep last night. My body wanted to toss and turn instead."
Roger says, "okay let's wrap this early then"
Roger exclaims, "Thanks everyone!"
Knight_Otu says, "Yeah, get some rest, David."
MoyTravis says, "Ah. That's unfortunate. Sleep, though."
MoyTravis says, "Thanks, all."
Roger says, "Sweet dreams of frigid limping wolves"
