| Pinkunz says, "Hello everyone." | ||
| jenrexrode says, "sounds like a good turnout today." | ||
| DavidW says, "hi Jacquelin, Pinkunz, and Roger" | ||
| DavidW says, "hi jen" | ||
| jenrexrode has arrived. | Jacqueline says, "omg it's a party" | |
| DavidW says, "snrk" | ||
| Pinkunz says, "I do want to apologize for ADRIFT." | ||
| Pinkunz says, "Read the transcript recently." | ||
| Pinkunz says, "Y'all didn't have a great time, lmao." | ||
| DavidW says, "oh, we managed." | ||
| Jacqueline says, "We got by." | ||
| DavidW asks, "That was the one with the fidget spinner in space, the crate, and the tether of guess-the-verb, correct?" | ||
| Jacqueline says, "I mean, we just kind of floated along with things." | ||
| Jacqueline says (to DW), "Yeah" | ||
| Pinkunz says, "It's pretty painful looking back. Fwiw, I've gotten much better at flattening out and testing for guess the verbs." | ||
| Pinkunz says, "Also, you are supposed to die when you run out of Oxygen. The ever dimishing, yet never quite gone O2 was a bug." | ||
| Jacqueline says, "ha" | ||
| DavidW says, "oh really" | ||
| Jacqueline) Pinkunz says, "You were supposed to die. So sorry you didn't. That was a bug." | ||
| DavidW says, "Zeno's oxygen supply." | ||
| Pinkunz says, "Yep. There's a whole selection of 4 different death scenes picked at random, because I thought people might die often." | ||
| DavidW asks, "Speaking of dying often, should we pick a game?" | ||
| Teaspoon asks, "how about the Wild West game?" | ||
| Jacqueline is, as usual, here to experience whatever the people want. | ||
| DavidW says, "I think we can assume that any game I added to the list is one I'm okay with." | ||
| Jacqueline says, "I'm good with the game Teaspoon desires." | ||
| Jacqueline says, "I'll play anything Amanda Walker releases." | ||
| Pinkunz says, "Same, I'm happy with Teaspoon's choice." | ||
| Teaspoon says, "cool beans" | ||
| DavidW asks, "So, Wild West?" | ||
| Jacqueline says, "mmhmm" | ||
| Pinkunz gives a thumbs up | ||
| DavidW says (to ClubFloyd), "load sleepmask wildwest" | ||

| CF | | ||
| CF | In the years following the American Civil War, you lead a simple life | ||
| CF | as a cowboy. Despite the low wage, you scrimp and save and manage to | ||
| CF | buy a small ranch near Tucson, Arizona, where you live with your wife | ||
| CF | Sarah and daughter Betty. You dream of a bright future for your | ||
| CF | daughter and work hard every day to earn the money needed to provide | ||
| CF | her with a good education. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | Then, one day, your peaceful existence is shattered when Pablo Cortez | ||
| CF | and his gang raid your ranch on their return to Nogales after a | ||
| CF | robbery in Tucson. They shoot you in the head and leave you for dead. | ||
| CF | Luckily for you, the wound is superficial, but, when you come to, you | ||
| CF | discover that your life savings have been stolen, and Sarah and Betty | ||
| CF | have been kidnapped. You dress your wound and quickly recover, | ||
| CF | determined to find Sarah and Betty. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | A few hours later, you're in hot pursuit of Cortez's gang. In | ||
| CF | retrospect, this was a stupid thing to do on your own. Halfway through | ||
| CF | the desert, your horse dies from the heat and exertion. You're now by | ||
| CF | yourself, on foot, and your horse lays dead at your feet. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | This is a life or death situation. Despite the odds, you must press on | ||
| CF | if you want to see your family alive again, but consider every move | ||
| CF | carefully, as the Wild West is a deadly and unforgiving place. | ||

| CF | Desert | ||
| CF | Wherever you turn your gaze, the immense ocean of fiery sand | ||
| CF | disappears to the horizon. A mirage causes tremors in the hot air, | ||
| CF | making it dance in its rhythm of death. The road to Nogales heads | ||
| CF | south. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | You can see a dead horse (on which are a saddle and a saddle bag) | ||
| CF | here. | ||

| CF | | ||
| CF | That's not a verb I recognise. | ||

| DavidW says (to ClubFloyd), "x bag" | ||
| CF ] Desert Moves: 3 | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | > X BAG | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | It's the saddle bag attached to the saddle. You can't see inside, | ||
| CF | since the saddle bag is closed. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | > | ||
| DavidW says (to ClubFloyd), "open bag" | ||
| CF ] Desert Moves: 4 | ||

| CF | | ||
| CF | You open the saddle bag, revealing a revolver. | ||

| DavidW says (to ClubFloyd), "x it" | ||
| CF ] Desert Moves: 6 | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | > X IT | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | It's a Colt single-action army revolver, also known as the M1873 or | ||
| CF | 'Peacemaker'. It's a 45 calibre handgun, originally made for the US | ||
| CF | Army in 1873. It's currently loaded with 6 bullets. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | You feel a trickle of perspiration running down your back. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | > | DavidW says, "I've probably wasted time we might need to recover from." | |
| Jacqueline asks, "Wait, what year is it??" | ||
| Pinkunz asks, "Is the horse actually dead or just collapsed?" | ||
| DavidW says (to ClubFloyd), "x horse" | ||
| CF ] Desert Moves: 7 | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | > X HORSE | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | It's your faithful horse. You asked too much of him and now he lays | ||
| CF | dead. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | > | Jacqueline says, "I think it's dead, Jim." | |
| DavidW says, "kick horse" | ||
| Pinkunz says, "Just making sure." | ||
| DavidW says (to ClubFloyd), "kick horse" | ||
| CF ] Desert Moves: 8 | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | > KICK HORSE | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | Violence isn't the answer to this one. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | You feel a trickle of perspiration running down your back. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | > | Teaspoon says, "hang on, i forget hwo to get to the room" | |
| Jacqueline says, "aw" | ||
| DavidW says, "clubhouse" | ||
| Jacqueline exclaims (at Tsp), "!!" | ||
| Teaspoon has arrived. | Jacqueline laughs. | |
| DavidW says (to ClubFloyd), "x saddle" | ||
| CF ] Desert Moves: 9 | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | > X SADDLE | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | It's a sturdy leather saddle, with a saddle bag attached. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | > | ||
| DavidW says (to ClubFloyd), "i" | ||
| CF ] Desert Moves: 10 | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | > I | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | You're carrying a revolver and your clothes (worn). | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | > | Jacqueline says, "You should be able to @recap #clubhouse, but if not, lmk." | |
| DavidW asks, "I assume we abandon the horse, saddle, and bag?" | ||
| Teaspoon says, "it only recapped the last move, but I think I get the gist of things" | ||
| Pinkunz asks, "" the years following the American Civil War" presumably after 1873 due to the gun?" | ||
| Jacqueline says (to P), "Yeah, I was thinking not that much time had elapsed until the gun came up." | ||
| DavidW says, "I hope there isn't a thirst daemon." | ||
| Jacqueline says (to DW), "I suspect your hope is misplaced." | ||
| Pinkunz says, "Yeah, I presume this isn't the sort of game that expects us to make jerky from the horse first." | ||
| Jacqueline says (to ClubFloyd), "eat horse" | ||
| CF ] Desert Moves: 11 | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | > EAT HORSE | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | I don't suppose the dead horse would care for that. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | > | DavidW says, "well, this is based on an old game, but it's a modern remake." | |
| Pinkunz says (to DavidW), "Maybe it'll be bugged like my O2 daemon." | ||
| DavidW says (to ClubFloyd), "look in horse's mouth" | ||
| CF ] Desert Moves: 12 | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | > LOOK IN HORSE'S MOUTH | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | Sorry, I don't understand what "horse's" means. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | A cloud of desert insects hovers briefly in the air, then flies off. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | > | ||
| Jacqueline says (to ClubFloyd), "drink horse's bodily fluids for desert survival" | ||
| CF ] Desert Moves: 13 | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | > DRINK HORSE'S BODILY FLUIDS FOR DESERT SURVIVAL | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | Sorry, I don't understand what "horse's" means. | ||

| DavidW says, "no free gift." | ||
| Jacqueline says (to DW), "heehee" | ||
| Teaspoon says, "it's def dead, then" | ||
| DavidW says (to ClubFloyd), "x clothes" | ||
| CF ] Desert Moves: 14 | ||

| CF | | ||
| CF | You're a cowboy and dressed accordingly. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | The heat is stifling. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | > | Jacqueline says (to Tsp), "Pretty sure it's actually dead, yeah." | |
| DavidW asks, "South?" | ||
| jenrexrode says, "clearly most sincerely dead." | ||
| Jacqueline says, "Possibly? Or possibly restart, get the gun, then south." | ||
| Jacqueline says, "And then save." | ||
| DavidW says, "we can do that, but let's assume a benevolent author until proven otherwise." | ||
| Pinkunz says, "Yeah, unfortunately the tawntawn trick won't help with the heat." | ||
| Jacqueline rolls her eyes. "Okay, fine. Have your optimism, David." | ||
| DavidW asks, "???? tawntawn ????" | ||

| CF | | ||
| CF | Some sort of bug scitters across the parched desert in front of you, | ||

| CF ] Southern Outskirts of Desert Moves: 26 | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | > X TRACKS | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | You see a faint trace of hoof prints heading south. Now that the | ||
| CF | ground is firmer, you can see that they were left by a group of | ||
| CF | horses, possibly four. Some of the hoof prints are deeper than the | ||
| CF | others, suggesting that those horses were carrying a heavier load, | ||
| CF | possibly your wife and daughter. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | You feel a trickle of perspiration running down your back. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | > | ||
| DavidW says (to ClubFloyd), "x depression" | ||
| CF ] Southern Outskirts of Desert Moves: 27 | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | > X DEPRESSION | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | It's a large circular depression, several dozen yards in diameter. The | ||
| CF | sand around the edges of the depression is solidified, as though it's | ||
| CF | been exposed to extreme heat, even hotter than the desert sun. You | ||
| CF | wonder whether this might be a crater left by an ancient meteorite. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | > | Jacqueline asks, "Wait... do we know that dead horse's name?!?" | |
| Jacqueline asks, "Or are we all in the Neil Young club now?" | ||
| DavidW says, "I didn't see a horse name, but assume it's Rosebud, if you like." | ||
| Pinkunz says, "ha" | ||
| Jacqueline says (to DW), "Nah, I'd rather a horse with no name." | ||
| DavidW says, "Let's check that depression. We might get a free magnet or a Martian friend." | ||
| Pinkunz says (to clubfloyd), "x sand" | ||
| CF ] Southern Outskirts of Desert Moves: 28 | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | > X SAND | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | The desert is harsh and unforgiving, and hot as Hell itself. You see a | ||
| CF | faint trace of hoof prints in the sand. | ||
| CF | | ||

| DavidW says (to ClubFloyd), "e" | ||
| CF ] Depressionutskirts of Desert Moves: 29 | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | > E | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | Depression | ||
| CF | The depression, arid and jagged, seems to have originated from a | ||
| CF | powerful explosion. You doubt someone ventured out here to fight, so | ||
| CF | it's likely the product of an ancient meteorite. Going west will take | ||
| CF | you back to the trail. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | You can see a bison skull here. | ||
| CF | | ||

| DavidW says (to ClubFloyd), "x skull" | ||
| CF ] Depressionutskirts of Desert Moves: 30 | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | > X SKULL | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | It's the skull of a bison that probably wandered here from the distant | ||
| CF | prairie. It's such a long journey just to die alone in the desert. | ||
| CF | Something is glinting inside, but you also hear an ominous rattling | ||
| CF | noise coming from inside the skull. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | > | ||

| CF | | ||
| CF | You have better things to do than dig for buried treasure. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | > | Pinkunz asks, "Rattlesnek?" | |
| Jacqueline says, "Yeah." | ||
| DavidW says, "probably. I have no stick." | ||
| Jacqueline says, "I like rattlesneks but I don't want to pet it." | ||
| Pinkunz says, "I mean, you wanted to know how cruel the game was." | ||
| DavidW says, "we can come back here later, I guess." | ||
| DavidW says (to ClubFloyd), "take skull" | ||
| CF ] Depressionutskirts of Desert Moves: 35 | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | > TAKE SKULL | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | As you pick up the skull, you realise the rattling sound you heard was | ||
| CF | from a big rattlesnake, one of the deadliest creatures of the desert. | ||
| CF | A single bite is all it takes to lead you to death. You'll never see | ||
| CF | your family again and your bones will soon be shining white in this | ||
| CF | ancient crater. | ||

| CF | Eastern Trail Out of Desert | ||
| CF | The terrain begins to change and, although the vegetation is still | ||
| CF | sparse, it feels like you're stepping out of the desert. The trail | ||
| CF | bends from north to west. The north takes you back to the desert, | ||
| CF | whereas the west takes you to the mountains. It looks like Cortez | ||
| CF | wants to hide in the mountains, at least for the moment. Immediately | ||
| CF | to the south, the remains of a stagecoach remind you how deadly this | ||
| CF | place is. | ||

| CF | | ||
| CF | The coach, or what remains of it, is riddled with bullet holes. It's | ||

| CF | robbery in Tucson. They shoot you in the head and leave you for dead. | ||
| CF | Luckily for you, the wound is superficial, but, when you come to, you | ||
| CF | discover that your life savings have been stolen, and Sarah and Betty | ||
| CF | have been kidnapped. You dress your wound and quickly recover, | ||
| CF | determined to find Sarah and Betty. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | A few hours later, you're in hot pursuit of Cortez's gang. In | ||
| CF | retrospect, this was a stupid thing to do on your own. Halfway through | ||
| CF | the desert, your horse dies from the heat and exertion. You're now by | ||
| CF | yourself, on foot, and your horse lays dead at your feet. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | This is a life or death situation. Despite the odds, you must press on | ||
| CF | if you want to see your family alive again, but consider every move | ||
| CF | carefully, as the Wild West is a deadly and unforgiving place. | ||

| CF | You can go back to the river bank by going east. | ||

| CF | poison. Fortunately, your wife and daughter haven't witnessed the | ||
| CF | scene, as they're in a makeshift tent. They're shaken by their | ||

| CF | return home on the bandits' horses. | ||
