ClubFloyd Transcript:
A Simple Theft 1 & 2 by Mark J. Musante

As played on ifMUD on March 26, 2011

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 two games: A Simple Theft 1 and A Simple Theft 2: A Simple Theftier, both written by Mark J. Musante. A Simple Theft 1 was released in 1999 to help encourage more game releases in conjunction with the IF Review Conspiracy. A Simple Theft 2: A Simple Theftier was released in 2010 as an extra on the DVD Get Lamp. You can learn more about these games, including how to download them, by visiting Mark Musante's website.

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.

*** NOTE: The session started with technical issues (Jacq's fault!) *** Jacqueline says, "I found the issue."
DavidW says (to Touchy), "Watch the language. We're being recorded for transcript, remember."
Jacqueline says, "Fixing..."
cyberskunk says, "once again my attempts at amusement have resulted in a minor international incident."
Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "%quit"
Floyd says, "game ended by request of Jacqueline."

Floyd |    Many years ago, when the Iron Branch was passed down from king to
Floyd | king (instead of being a pile of rust in an overadorned urn), when
Floyd | dragons walked the earth (instead of flying about like the maniacs
Floyd | they are now), when Strongle was the God of Gods (instead of being,
Floyd | well, I think the polite term is 'deposed')...  back when all of that
Floyd | was taking place, magic had yet to be conquered by mere mortal man.
Floyd |
Floyd |    What's that got to do with you, you ask?  Well, since you're an
Floyd | apprentice to one of those men who are trying to figure out how magic
Floyd | works, you get to do all the dirty deeds.  Apparently, Apaman, the
Floyd | loser you're apprenticed to, has gotten it into his head that the
Floyd | Hestron (one of the jewels in the Sceptre of Charlten, a symbol of the
Floyd | power of the Prince of Urf) is one of the keys to unlocking the
Floyd | secrets.
Floyd |
Floyd |    He was kind enough to drag you to the Prince's castle, push you
Floyd | into the coal chute, and tell you not to bother coming out without the
Floyd | Hestron in your posession.

Floyd | Coal Cellar
Floyd |    This cellar is dark -- mostly due to the coal dust which is
Floyd | everywhere.  A faint light comes through an open doorway to the north.
Floyd |
Floyd |    You're startled briefly as the end of a rope pops out of the coal
Floyd | chute.  But you pause and check your inventory, making sure you still
Floyd | have the lockpick and the bag.

DavidW says, "yay"
genericgeekgirl says, "w00t"
DavidW says, "Ah yes, the Charlten Hestron."
cyberskunk says, "the last time i was pushed down a chute and offered a rope, i was stuck in Augmented Fourth for three hours."
genericgeekgirl asks, "Is someone driving?"
DavidW says (to ggg), "Not me. I've played this one."
cyberskunk says, "not i. i'm new."
Jacqueline says, "I don't know that a driver is required. Etiquette is just that we don't change locations without some consensus."
Jacqueline clears the save counter. genericgeekgirl says, "Just checking before I jumped in. Since nobody had said anything yet :)"
VictorGijsbers asks, "You give a command just by typing it in the main room?"
Jacqueline says, "I think unless we hit something that seems like a timer, we can all play."
genericgeekgirl says (to VictorGijsbers), "'f whatever'" cyberskunk says, "i think you type 'f <command>'"
DavidW says, "I don't think we need a driver for the early part of this game. It's been awhile."
VictorGijsbers says (to Floyd), "x me"
Floyd | You look about the same as always.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
Jacqueline says (to Victor), "Yeah - what they said."
cyberskunk says (to Floyd), "inv"
Floyd | I don't know the word "inv".
Floyd |
Floyd | >
genericgeekgirl says (to Floyd), "i"
Floyd | You have a lockpick and a bag.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
genericgeekgirl says (to Floyd), "x bag"
Floyd | It's a small black bag.  Apaman made it very clear that you were to
Floyd | put the Hestron in this bag before bringing it out of the castle.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
cyberskunk says (to Floyd), "open bag"
Floyd | The bag is always open.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "oopen bag"
Floyd | I don't know the word "oopen".
Floyd |
Floyd | >
Jacqueline says, "oops heh"
cyberskunk says, "okay. that's our LOOT SACK."
Jacqueline says, "Yeah"
Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "x pick"
Floyd | It's your trusty lockpick.  Apaman said it would come in handy in the
Floyd | castle.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
genericgeekgirl says (to Floyd), "take rope"
Floyd | Apaman is at the other end of it and, right now, it's your only means
Floyd | of escape.  Those two facts taken together are enough for you to want
Floyd | to leave the rope right where it is.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
genericgeekgirl says, "oh. heh"
cyberskunk says, "so lockpick and an empty sack. if we had daggers this would be nethack."
Jacqueline asks, "n?"
Alex says (to Jacqueline), "Awwwk! Word on the street is that N is part of 'no'. So which part of 'no' don't you understand."
genericgeekgirl says (to Floyd), "n"
Floyd | Dimly Lit Hallway
Floyd |    This hallway runs east-west under the castle.  The only light comes
Floyd | from far to the east, where you can hear noises.  To the south is an
Floyd | open doorway through which the smell of coal seeps; to the west is
Floyd | nothing but inky darkness.
Floyd |    You see a coal shovel here.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
genericgeekgirl says (to Floyd), "take shovel"
Floyd | Taken.

Atrilla says (to Floyd), "search coal"
Floyd | You find nothing of interest.

Floyd | It's used for shovelling coal.
Floyd |

genericgeekgirl says, "Hey, inky is here ;)"

Jacqueline says (to Atrilla), "Sure."
Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "verbose"
Floyd | Okay, now in VERBOSE mode.
Floyd | Coal Cellar
Floyd |    This cellar is dark -- mostly due to the coal dust which is

Floyd | Dangling from the coal chute in the corner is a dirty rope.

Floyd | Storage Room
Floyd |    This room is piled high with various trinkets and whatnot that the
Floyd | kings of old (and of new) have gotten as gifts from visiting nobles.
Floyd | Of course they're worth fortunes, all.  But what good is a fortune to
Floyd | a king?
Floyd |    A small door in the north wall catches your eye, however.
Floyd |

WeirdBeard arrives, full of fun and funk.
Atrilla says (to Floyd), "x me"
Floyd | You look about the same as always.
Floyd |

genericgeekgirl says (to Floyd), "take all"
Floyd | I don't see what you're referring to.
Floyd |

genericgeekgirl says, "darn. want shinies"

DavidW says, "It's only the Hestron we're meant to steal."
genericgeekgirl says (to Floyd), "pick lock"
Floyd | (with the lockpick)
Floyd | You try as best you can, but the lock remains impervious to your
Floyd | efforts.  Must be some lock.
Floyd |

cyberskunk says, "i bet the door is locked. let's pick i--damn it."
genericgeekgirl says (to Floyd), "x lock"

VictorGijsbers asks, "Probably need a key?"
cyberskunk says, "back east till we work that out, yeah"
Jacqueline asks, "Okay, where's our newspaper?"

Floyd | Guard Room
Floyd |    This room is rather small, considering it has to fit a table and
Floyd | chairs.  Eastward is a doorway, and a hallway stretches out to the
Floyd | west.
Floyd |    A burly guard is here.
Floyd | The guard swings around towards you and draws his sword!
Floyd |

Jacqueline says, "Hm, actually, can take the laptop with me. D'uh"
DavidW says, "oopsie"
genericgeekgirl says, "eek"
cyberskunk exclaims, "hit him with the shovel!"
genericgeekgirl says (to Floyd), "x guard"

maga says, "he is the bus driver and he's taking you to the oldschool"
Jacqueline says (to GGG), "Not that I disagree with your moving just now, but it's important to make sure other people are okay with leaving the room before you go, in case they're about to examine or otherwise interact with an object in the room."
genericgeekgirl says (to Floyd), "search guard"
Floyd | Ugh.  You fiddle around in the guard's clothing, but find nothing of
Floyd | interest.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
cyberskunk says (to Floyd), "x table"

Atrilla says, "Spoil, ofcourse."
VictorGijsbers says, "Don't know, but at least they can't get spoiled."

Floyd |    Unfortunately, the glint of your sword catches the eye of a passing
Floyd | guard.
Floyd |    "Halt!"  he cries out.
Floyd |    You drop the sword and start running away.  Unfortunately you're

Floyd | Many years ago, when the Iron Branch was passed down from king to king
Floyd | (instead of being a pile of rust in an overadorned urn), when dragons
Floyd | walked the earth (instead of flying about like the maniacs they are
Floyd | now), when Strongle was the God of Gods (instead of being, well, I
Floyd | think the polite term is "deposed")... back when all of that was
Floyd | taking place, magic had yet to be conquered by mere mortal man.
Floyd |
Floyd | What's that got to do with you, you ask?  Well, since you're an
Floyd | apprentice to one of those men who are trying to figure out how magic
Floyd | works, you get to do all the dirty deeds.
Floyd |
Floyd | A few weeks ago, Apaman (the loser you're apprenticed to) had sent you
Floyd | to recover the Hestron (one of the jewels in the Sceptre of Charlten).
Floyd | Despite your success on that mission, Apaman is not treating you any
Floyd | better.  Your best guess is that many of the Hestron's secrets remain
Floyd | hidden to him, and he's taking his frustrations out on the nearest
Floyd | convenient target.
Floyd |
Floyd | Now he's learnt about something that may help him unlock those
Floyd | secrets, and has sent you on another mission: to retrieve the sky rock
Floyd | from the north tower of Fossen Festning, a fortress built into the
Floyd | side of a mountain beside a large waterfall.  All you've brought with
Floyd | you is a dark cloak and an old grappling hook that Apaman was generous
Floyd | enough to loan to you.  All you need to bring out is the sky rock.
Floyd |
Floyd | Good luck with that.

Floyd | Beneath the North Tower
Floyd | A dark tower rises high above you, lit dimly in the cloud-obscured

cyberskunk says (to Floyd), "x tower"
Floyd | The tower is made of a bright, almost perfectly white, stone. The
Floyd | scant moonlight that filters through the thin clouds overhead allows
Floyd | you to just make out its shape.  Far above you is the lowest window in
Floyd | the tower, just wide enough for an archer to use.  There don't appear

DavidW says, "Try throw."
VictorGijsbers says (to Floyd), "throw hook at window"
Floyd | You expertly spin the hook on its rope, gathering momentum, and
Floyd | release! The hook noisily clatters against the side of the tower, well
Floyd | below the window, and falls with a thud to the ground.  The rope isn't
Floyd | long enough.  You gather it all back up and nervously look around for

VictorGijsbers says (to Floyd), "throw hook at windows"
Floyd | You expertly spin the hook on its rope, gathering momentum, and
Floyd | release! The hook sails towards the windows, but stops far short of
Floyd | them.  The hook seems to pause in mid-air at the end of the rope
Floyd | before, to your horror, it falls slowly down and clanks loudly against
Floyd | the base of the cliff below you. Scraping and clunking, you drag the
Floyd | hook up along the cliff face until it's back in your hands.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
DavidW says (to Floyd), "x peak"
Floyd | It looks like a conical hat on top of the tower.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
VictorGijsbers asks, "Maybe wait a bit to see if no guards come around?"
DavidW says (to Floyd), "x windows"
Floyd | They encircle the top, just where the conical roof meets the walls of
Floyd | the tower. They were too far up to see from the ground level and,
Floyd | using your expert eye, you judge that they're too far for your
Floyd | grappling hook to reach even from here..
Floyd |
Floyd | >
cyberskunk says (to Floyd), "hide"
Floyd | That's not a verb I recognise.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
DavidW says (to Floyd), "x cliff"
Floyd | Up here, the cliff is more natural, with protrusions and lumps.  It
Floyd | doesn't appear to be as carefully sculpted as it is down below.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
cyberskunk says, "not a lot to see yet [LINK]"
VictorGijsbers says (to Floyd), "climb cliff"
Floyd | Enough protrusions and bumps are on the cliff's face now that you can
Floyd | get a decent purchase on them. You climb higher beside the tower,
Floyd | although the cliff is curving away from it now as you approach the
Floyd | top.
Floyd |
Floyd | Near The Top
Floyd | You're almost level with the top of the tower now, although the cliff
Floyd | side has curved rather far away from it.  Although the side of the
Floyd | mountain isn't nearly level at this point, it has levelled off enough
Floyd | that trees are starting to find places to grow in the cracks and
Floyd | crevices.  Right beside you here is a particularly tall oak.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
genericgeekgirl asks, "can we maybe just climb?"
genericgeekgirl says (to Floyd), "x tree"
Floyd | Firmly rooted here is a large oak tree, hanging out over the cliff.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
cyberskunk asks, "climb the oak and bend it over?"
cyberskunk says (to Floyd), "climb oak"
Floyd | You shimmy up the tree.
Floyd |
Floyd | Treetop
Floyd | Out here on a branch near the tower, the wind is brutal. One slip, and
Floyd | you'll fall to certain death. Far, far below is where you started, but
Floyd | you try not to think about that.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
VictorGijsbers exclaims, "Yeah, use the grappling hook and rope to turn the tree into a catapult!"
cyberskunk says, "there's your shimming."
genericgeekgirl says, "yay"
DavidW says (to Floyd), "x tower"
Floyd | The top of the tower has a conical roof, immediately below which the
Floyd | tower is ringed with iron-barred windows. You can't really reach the
Floyd | tower from here, but you should be close enough for that grappling
Floyd | hook.  You hope.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
genericgeekgirl says (to Floyd), "think about death"
Floyd | I only understood you as far as wanting to think.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
VictorGijsbers says (to Floyd), "throw hook at windows"
Floyd | You expertly spin the hook on its rope, gathering momentum, and
Floyd | release. The hook clanks against the windows and catches!  You grab
Floyd | onto the rope with your hands, and grab onto the branch with your
Floyd | feet, and slowly pull yourself towards the tower.  Once you're within
Floyd | reach of the iron bars, you feel around them for a latch, releasing
Floyd | it.  One set of bars swings inwards, and you pull yourself through,
Floyd | letting go of the branch.
Floyd |
Floyd | Before closing the bars again, you retrieve your grappling hook.
Floyd |
Floyd | Top Floor
Floyd | This is a dim room and, from the smell of it, very dusty as well.  The
Floyd | only light comes in through the windows, casting a dull grey sheen
Floyd | across everything you see.  The room is sparsely appointed, with a cot
Floyd | along one wall and a small cupboard near it.  A wall divides the
Floyd | tower, turning this room into a semicircle, putting you in the half
Floyd | that faces to the west. There is a ring set into the floor, near to
Floyd | the western wall.
Floyd |

Floyd | (the small cupboard)
Floyd | A small wooden cupboard sits beside the cot.

Floyd | The small cupboard is empty.
Floyd |

Floyd |

VictorGijsbers says (to Floyd), "x ring"
Floyd | The ring appears to be attached to a trap door.
Floyd |
Floyd | You slip into a shadow, remaining as still as can be.
Floyd |

VictorGijsbers says, "Sing."
cyberskunk says, "what i like about this one compared to the last one is we have to escape a different way than we came in."
Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "sing"
Floyd | You daren't do anything at the moment.

Floyd | You see the trap door slowly open upwards. A person's head pokes up
Floyd | through the opening.

Floyd | With the black clothing this person is wearing, it's hard to discern
Floyd | anything, really.  Other than, y'know, being all human-shaped and
Floyd | stuff.
Floyd |
Floyd | You freeze in place as you watch the figure glide quietly through the
Floyd | room feeling along the wall.  Suddenly, it stops, taps gently on one
Floyd | of the stones in the wall, and wiggles it free.  It's the star rock!
Floyd | Oh no.

Floyd | live long enough to experience the full extent of his wrath. He warned
Floyd | you about guards, but not about another thief.

Floyd | In any case, it's not an easy task, getting to the bottom of the

Floyd | the cloak, and some convenient nooks and crannies.
Floyd |
Floyd | Guard Room
Floyd | You're on the ground floor of the north tower now, and this is clearly
Floyd | meant to be where men and women prepare for guard duty.  Bunk beds
Floyd | line the northern wall, and assorted weaponry hangs on the south wall.
Floyd | The staircase you came down is on the far wall, and you see the exit
Floyd | to the tower to the east.

Floyd | Central Courtyard
Floyd | Completely covered in cobblestones, the central courtyard is an
Floyd | enormous place, used for assembling the troops and greeting royalty.
Floyd | A large entryway is topped by an enormous stone arch.  It leads to the
Floyd | east where, hidden somewhere beyond the outer portcullis, Apaman
Floyd | awaits your return.  To the south and to the north rise the two
Floyd | watchtowers, and it is in the northern one that Apaman believes the
Floyd | star rock to be.  West is the entrance to the Festning itself, dug out
Floyd | of the rock of this mountain. Although you're hiding as best as you
Floyd | can in the shadows, it's dangerous to remain here long.

VictorGijsbers says (to Floyd), "e"

Floyd | Wordlessly, you place the star rock into his eager, outstretched hand.
Floyd | Blinking once, twice in the moonlight, hardly daring to believe, he
Floyd | stares at it.  Finally, reality sets in and his gaze returns to you.
Floyd |
Floyd | "Let's go now," he says, gruffly.  He leads you back to the place you
Floyd | sarcastically call home.  You're not sure if the star rock really is

canadianpuzzler asks, "wait, when did we lose the rope again?"
DavidW says, "When we threw it at Treetop."
genericgeekgirl says (to Floyd), "i"
Floyd | You are carrying:
Floyd |   a star rock
Floyd |   a grappling hook
Floyd |   a dark cloak (being worn)
Floyd |
Floyd | >
genericgeekgirl says (to Floyd), "x hook"
Floyd | You're lucky that Apaman has let you have at least this much
Floyd | equipment, even if he wouldn't let you bring a sword or even a knife.
Floyd | It is attached to a modest length of rope.

DavidW says (to Floyd), "oh. We have it still?"
Floyd | That's not a verb I recognise.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
DavidW says, "huh"
VictorGijsbers says, "Seems so."
genericgeekgirl asks, "can we get to the other half of the tower?"
Jacqueline says, "Darn. IRTA we have a still"
VictorGijsbers says, "Let's feel the east wall, above."
DavidW says, "Search it, yeah."
VictorGijsbers says (to Floyd), "u"
Floyd | It was difficult enough trying to get down past all those guards, and
Floyd | you want to do it again?  Talk about living dangerously...
Floyd |
Floyd | Top Floor
Floyd | This is a dim room and, from the smell of it, very dusty as well.  The
Floyd | only light comes in through the windows, casting a dull grey sheen
Floyd | across everything you see.  The room is sparsely appointed, with a cot
Floyd | along one wall and a small cupboard near it.  A wall divides the
Floyd | tower, turning this room into a semicircle, putting you in the half
Floyd | that faces to the west. There is an open trap door in the floor.
Floyd |

DavidW says (to Floyd), "search wall"
Floyd | You look all over the wall, but you don't see anything unusual.
Floyd |

genericgeekgirl says (to Floyd), "knock on wall"

VictorGijsbers says (to Floyd), "search east wall"
Floyd | I only understood you as far as wanting to search east.
Floyd |

VictorGijsbers says (to Floyd), "search east"
Floyd | You must name something more substantial.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
VictorGijsbers says (to Floyd), "feel wall"
Floyd | You've already got the rock.  Apaman is waiting for you, and you don't
Floyd | have time to fool around.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
DavidW says (to Floyd), "x windows"
Floyd | It's hard to see out of the windows, given the dim moonlight.  Nothing
Floyd | much is out there but the wind.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
DavidW says (to Floyd), "open windows"
Floyd | They're not something you can open.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
VictorGijsbers says (to Floyd), "x tree"
Floyd | You can't see any such thing.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
DavidW says (to Floyd), "u"
Floyd | You can't go that way.

DavidW says (to Floyd), "w"

DavidW says (to Floyd), "look through wall"

DavidW says (to Floyd), "enter cupboard"
Floyd | (the small cupboard)
Floyd | That's not something you can enter.

DavidW says (to Floyd), "move cupboard"

cyberskunk says, "everything scooby doo has taught me has been a lie."
genericgeekgirl says, "> jump out window =)"
VictorGijsbers says (to Floyd), "jump out of window"
Floyd | I only understood you as far as wanting to jump.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
VictorGijsbers says (to Floyd), "jump"
Floyd | You jump on the spot, fruitlessly.
Floyd |

genericgeekgirl says (to Floyd), "throw rock out window"

VictorGijsbers says, "find holy grail"
DavidW says (to Floyd), "credits"
Floyd | In addition to all the hard work done by Graham Nelson, Emily Short,
Floyd | and countless others for Inform 7, I also wish to thank to Jon Ingold
Floyd | for his Far Away extension.
Floyd |
Floyd | A big betatesting thank you goes to Marius M?ller, Dan Shiovitz,
Floyd | Admiral Jota, and a grammarian who wishes to remain anonymous. Without
Floyd | their input and helpful suggestions, this game would have been an
Floyd | unpolished mess.
Floyd |
Floyd | I would also like to thank my wife, Julie, for being awesome.

Floyd |
Floyd | >
VictorGijsbers asks, "Let's go to the courtyard?"
DavidW says, "sure"
VictorGijsbers says (to Floyd), "d"
Floyd | You slip through the trap door. Precious star rock in hand, you race
Floyd | your way down to the bottom of the tower.  This is easier than you had
Floyd | anticipated as there are far fewer guards than Apaman had led you to
Floyd | believe.
Floyd |
Floyd | In any case, it's not an easy task, getting to the bottom of the
Floyd | tower. You manage to avoid the guards somehow using your cleverness,
Floyd | the cloak, and some convenient nooks and crannies.
Floyd |
Floyd | Guard Room
Floyd | You're on the ground floor of the north tower now, and this is clearly
Floyd | meant to be where men and women prepare for guard duty.  Bunk beds
Floyd | line the northern wall, and assorted weaponry hangs on the south wall.
Floyd | The staircase you came down is on the far wall, and you see the exit
Floyd | to the tower to the east.
Floyd |
Floyd | You can see an unconscious black-clad figure here.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
VictorGijsbers says (to Floyd), "e"
Floyd | You're fairly certain you can sneak out of here before that thief
Floyd | wakes up.
Floyd |
Floyd | Northern Courtyard
Floyd | Although this is a much smaller courtyard than the main one by the
Floyd | entrance, it is still large enough to assemble quite a few troops.
Floyd | Normally, this place would be bustling with activity, but this late at
Floyd | night most everyone is asleep. You can head back into the tower to the
Floyd | west, or go around the tower to the south.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
canadianpuzzler says, "I still think the ending involves a way out other than the courtyard. We can climb the cliff again."
canadianpuzzler says, "For that matter, we still haven't seen the waterfall."
Miseri asks, "I may have missed it. Did anyone try to undress the figure?"
VictorGijsbers asks, "Did we try going back in the tower?"
DavidW says (to Miseri), "I tried."
genericgeekgirl asks, "can we reach the tree from the window? like with the hook?"
VictorGijsbers says (to Floyd), "w"

Jacqueline says (to DW), "haha"
VictorGijsbers says, "You think romance. She thinks murder."
maga says, "Neutral Library Messages deals with this, but >KISS ME now returns 'As expected.'"
DavidW says (to maga), "oh dear"
VictorGijsbers says, "Heh. NLM needs some work, but it's a good start."
Jacqueline | You kiss [person], platonically and without any possibility of it being misconstrued.
maga | Enabling AIF mode. Buffering body parts...
VictorGijsbers says, "You kiss Plato's wife, platonically and without any possibility of it being misconstrued."
DavidW says, "oh, an AIF Library Messages extension would be interesting to read."
Jacqueline says, "So, we're calling it good? Don't want to shut down the transcript prematurely if you all are dedicated to your LLPQ."
VictorGijsbers says, "I'm fine with shutting down the transcript."
Jacqueline says (to DW), "Oh dear. Not another thing to add to your To Do List."
DavidW says (to Jacqueline), "I can't think of where the LLP might be hidden, so I guess I'm done."
genericgeekgirl says, "I'm good."
