ClubFloyd Transcript: Lost Pig by Grunk

As played on ifMUD on November 18, 2007

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 Lost Pig by Grunk, a fictional character created by Admiral Jota. Lost Pig was originally released as part of the 2007 IF Competition, where it took first place. You can learn more about the game, including how to download it, by visiting Baf's Guide.

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 it, 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.

Gunther says, "for 2 hours, of course"
Jacqueline says, "Well, that's how long we generally play anyway."
Jacqueline says, "Lucian was thinking about doing it, and Sargent okay"

Jacqueline says, "Well, if you want to give it one more go, we do have a save file."
Jacqueline says, "And should save more as we go."

olethros asks, "DO YOU EAT THE DAMNED PIG?"
Jacqueline says (to o), "No."
Jacqueline says, "heh"
Jota says, "If you want to."
olethros says, "now that's a reward"
Jacqueline asks, "Oh wait, you can?"
Jota says, "Also, I'm really sorry about that, guys. I have no idea what caused either crash, but I'll work on trying to figure it out."
olethros says (to Jacqueline), "you dont eat enough things!"
Jacqueline says, "Why am I surprised? This game lets you eat everything!"
Gunther says, "well, I'm appealing the comp results with the SCOTUS"
inky says, "really, considering what a workout we put it through I am surprised it only crashed twice"
Jacqueline says (to Jota), "Thanks. Didn't realize you were awake."
Gunther says, "because clearly the third Panks game also needs to be disqualified"
Jota says, "Semi."
olethros asks, "secret cabal of the unwise society?"
Jacqueline says, "I'll try post the transcript in the next hour or so, in case that is helpful in figuring out what went wrong."
