Below is a transcript of two different games. |
 | ||||
| | |||
| DavidW says, "well, there's no official clubfloyd this weekend, since Jacq and several others are at PAX East." | ||||
| Touchy says, "I know everybody is at PAX and that Jacq is on duty suppresing the masses..." | ||||
| Touchy says, "We could still play though" | ||||
| Gerynar asks, "which game did you have in mind?" | ||||
| Gerynar hopes it's not Savoir Faire | ||||
| Touchy says, "I don't know." | ||||
| Touchy says, "haha" | ||||
| Touchy exclaims, "come on that was fun!" | ||||
| Gerynar says, "yes" | ||||
| Touchy says, "Well, hm..." | ||||
| JayBot arrives, ready to play with the toys. | DavidW says, "I wrote a walkthrough for Savoir-Faire. I kinda know it reasonably well." | |||
| Touchy says (to DavidW), "I remember that you could barely hold back the hints..." | ||||
| Touchy arrives, full of fun, but no funk. | JayBot says, "I'm just Jaybird's alternate, being used for logging purposes." | |||
| DavidW asks (of Touchy), "I'm occassionally a bad boy, yes. Spank me?" | ||||
| Touchy says, "I'm afraid you might like it." | ||||
| Gerynar says, "#tmi" | ||||
| JayBot says, "That is, I want my primary session in the lounge so I can keep up with PAX goings on and whatnot. So I have JayBot logging #clubfloyd and the toyshop in case something interesting happens I want to see later." | ||||
| Touchy asks, "Well..ideas anybody?" | ||||
| Touchy says, "I haven't played any of the jayiscomp.." | ||||
| DavidW asks (of Touchy), "You realize you'll be limited to the games already on Floyd?" | ||||
| Touchy says, "Well, it's not a problem for me because I haven't played most of them." | ||||
| Touchy says, "So maybe somebody else should pick..." | ||||
| Gerynar says, "same here" | ||||
| DavidW says, "well, I'm just pointing it out because if you're thinking of jayiscomp games, you're likely going to be disappointed when you find they're not on Floyd." | ||||
| Touchy says, "Yes, I hadn't thought of that." | ||||
| Touchy says, "How about "you are a chef"" | ||||
| Gerynar says, "I hear that's an odd game" | ||||
| Touchy says, "apparently a classic with references in savoir faire..." | ||||
| Touchy says, "Anyway..just a suggestion..the first name that popped out that I actually know and haven't played." | ||||
| Gerynar says, "brb ... need to refill my coffee" | ||||
| DavidW says, "You are a chef is a nice small game. You'll like it." | ||||
| DavidW arrives, full of neither funk nor fun. | Touchy says, "yay" | |||
| Gerynar says, "let's play it then" | ||||
| Touchy says, "sweet" | ||||
| Touchy says, "so...can anybody use floyd? hehe" | ||||
| Gerynar says (to Floyd), "load chef" | ||||
| Floyd says (to Gerynar), "Floyd doesn't know that game." | ||||
| Gerynar says (to Floyd), "list y" | ||||
| Floyd says (to Gerynar), "yagwad: (unsorted)" | ||||

Floyd | It's a large, white fridge, of the sort that decorates breakrooms Floyd | everywhere. It makes an odd buzzing sound when it's running, and the Floyd | temperature inside ranges from below the freezing point of water to Floyd | just warm enough to completely melt butter. Optimistically, you assume Floyd | that it lacks energy star certification only because it predates the Floyd | time when energy conservation was understood to be an issue. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||||

Floyd | Floyd | Supply Closet Floyd | If a man's home is his castle, then a janitor's supply closet is his Floyd | outhouse. It's dingy and dirty, uncomfortable, and smelly, but you Floyd | would be pretty uncomfortable if you couldn't come here occasionally. Floyd | To the southeast is a room which, in the same metaphor, might be Floyd | considered your dungeon. Floyd | Floyd | Proud and unbent, the mop stands in the corner; it calls to you.

Floyd | Floyd | > | Touchy says, "hahaha" | |||
| Touchy says (to Floyd), "take all" | ||||
Floyd | mop: Taken.

Floyd | Floyd | Receptionist's Office Floyd | This office is an interesting combination between Art Deco and the Floyd | fads of the 80's. At least all the earth tones were taken out during Floyd | the last remodeling. The vast cherrywood doors to the north lead to | DavidW says, "These are mostly Infocom games. You're not likely to find them." | |||
Floyd | your boss's office; they are illuminated by lamps which were probably Floyd | tasteful at least briefly during the 70's. The smell of stale coffee Floyd | comes from the southwest.

I started an Planetfall but haven't gotten very far." | |||

Floyd | Eva, your boss's secretary, is a tough, no-nonsense sort of woman with Floyd | two-inch fingernails. She is thin almost to the point of being bony.
