ClubFloyd Transcript:
The Cruise by Norman Perlmutter
As played on ifMUD on March 18, 2012

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 The Cruise written by Norman Perlmutter. The Cruise came in 27th in the 2001 IF Comp. You can learn more about the game, including how to download it, by visiting the ifWiki.


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


Jacqueline says, "If you have any game you'd like to recommend, speak up before the top of the hour, please. We'll launch the survey right at noon mudtime."
DavidW asks, "Have we played Friar Bacon's Secret yet?"
Ashen arrives, full of neither funk nor fun.
Ashen has had his fill of playing for now, and goes back to the Lounge.
maga arrives, full of funk, but no fun.
Ashen arrives, full of fun and funk.
Jacqueline arrives, full of funk, but no fun.
Ashen checks his watch, decides he has five minutes to make a waffle.
DavidW arrives, full of neither funk nor fun. Jacqueline says, "Hm, I don't think we've played that, no."
Jacqueline says, "Let me check..."
Jacqueline says, "Nope."
DavidW says, "Should add it to the list, then."
Jacqueline says, "mmkay"
DavidW says, "I've played it before though."
Jacqueline says, "Well, I like how this new setup just let's us go with the majority, even if the majority are considering a game that many people have played."
DavidW asks, "How many games are on the list to choose from?"
Jacqueline hollers, "Ten minutes until ClubFloyd. Come on in, recommend a game if you'd like, then be here for the community poll at noon MudTime." Jacqueline says (to DW), "One sec..."
Ashen asks (of Jacqueline), "What's on the survey already?" Jacqueline says, "Looks like 48 right now."
DavidW says, "oh. That's more than I expected."
Jacqueline says, "It's quite a few, yeah."
Jacqueline says, "I'm not sure whether or not that includes the best of speed list. It might."
Jacqueline says, "If not, I should add those."
DavidW says (to Ashen), "You should @join #clubfloyd" * Ashen has joined the channel.
DavidW says (to Ashen), "Jacqueline was just saying there's 48 games on the list."
Jacqueline says, "Ah, yes. Sorry, I didn't notice your off-channel question."
Ashen says, "Huh. That's . . . a bunch. And no worries, my own fault."
Jacqueline asks, "There are 48 games on the list right now. I'll post the survey in 6 minutes... anything you want to make sure is on there?"
Ashen says, "Nothing I can think of at the moment."
DavidW asks, "IF Whispers 5?"
DavidW asks, "or did that one get played already?"
Jacqueline says, "Is that the new one? I didn't realize it was finished."
DavidW says, "yeah, it's hiding at [LINK]"
Jacqueline says, "Also, I will definitely only be here a max of three hours today, preferably two. I have some stuff I need to get done for maga's review request, and I have a meeting at work in the early afternoon."
DavidW says, "And the game itself is at [LINK]"
Jacqueline says (to DW), "Ah, okay. Thanks for that update."
Jacqueline asks, "No name yet, though, huh?"
Jacqueline asks, "Just IF Whispers 5?"
Ashen says, "Maybe it's just that dadist."
DavidW says, "Apparently they named the game that, yeah. "IF Whispers 5"."
Jacqueline says, "ah"
Jacqueline says, "Okay, added."
Jacqueline says, "Anything else? Two minutes left."
Jacqueline says, "Okay then: [LINK]"
DavidW says, "misspelt Martha's Big Date"
Jacqueline says, "Speak up here when you're finished voting."
Ashen says, "I'm done with it."
djfletch says, "just catching up"
maga says, "done"
Jacqueline says (to djf), "mmkay, we'll wait, since you're here."
djfletch arrives, full of fun and funk. * Ashen has left the channel.
Jacqueline says, "Binder is probably asleep."
* Ashen has joined the channel.
DavidW says, "okay, I've voted."
Ashen says, "Weird, whenever I send something to this channel I get "You are not a member of #if/comps/comp04/Bellclap or #if/comps/comp07/Bellwater."
genericgeekgirl says, "Done."
Jacqueline exclaims (at ggg), "Oh, you're here! Hoorays!"
genericgeekgirl says, "Sorry, was dealing with an explosion of a bottle of sauce in our kitchen cabinet :'("
Jacqueline says, "eep"
genericgeekgirl says, "I guess it expired, and one of the ingredients was dynamite."
Jacqueline says, "Just waiting on djf."
genericgeekgirl arrives, ready to play with the toys. Jacqueline says (to Ashen), "Huh, that is weird."
DavidW says (to ggg), "wow"
djfletch says, "ok, voted"
Ashen says, "I'm going to try just reconnecting really quickly, shouldn't take a moment."
Ashen goes home. DavidW asks, "Actually, I think katre saw a bottle of ketchup explode in a restaurant, didn't he?"
DavidW says, "They kept refilling name brand bottles with cheap ketchup, so the ketchup at the bottom of the bottle would get older and older ..."
Jacqueline says, "I was going to share the responses, but evidently I can only do that with a pro account, but interestingly enough (this is a first since we started using this) there is a clear winner, no tie for me to break."
Jacqueline says, "And the winner ..."
Jacqueline says, "is ..."
genericgeekgirl drum roll.
Jacqueline says, "The Cruise"
DavidW says, "woot!"
Jacqueline says, "So let me go fetch that and upload it."
maga says, "ahahahaha"
Jacqueline asks, "Why is that so funny?"
Jacqueline asks, "Is it Leisure Suit Larry territory?"
maga asks, "is this the AIF The Cruise?"
maga asks, "or is there another The Cruise of which I am unaware?"
Jacqueline asks, "Oh dear. IS it Leisure Suit Larry territory?"
DavidW says, "I thought it was an IF Comp entry."
Jacqueline says, "It doesn't have an AIF icon on ifWiki. Yeah, 27th in the 2001 comp."
djfletch says, "maybe it was a mistake for me to vote without proper research"
Ashen asks, "What's the IFID?"
DavidW says, "The ifwiki page for The Cruise is kinda skimpy."
DavidW says, "The IFID hasn't been added there yet."
Jacqueline says, "Hm, something called 'cruise' is already on Floyd, let's see if that's it."
Ashen says, "Ah, found it anyway."
Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "load cruise"

Ashen says, "And from there we can blow all our money at the gift shop on overpriced sweets."
DavidW says, "I suppose we'll find a Your door."
genericgeekgirl asks, "So east, south?"
Jacqueline says (to Ashen), "So, unless there's some timed puzzle we encounter, anybody can enter commands by typing F COMMAND in the Toyshop. Just ask for consensus before changing locations."
genericgeekgirl says (to Ashen), "And copious amounts of dramamine."
Ashen says (to Jacqueline), "Noted. I figured it wouldn't hurt to check what was on us, though."
Ashen asks (of genericgeekgirl), "Dramamine?"
DavidW says, "I don't care which way we go next."
genericgeekgirl says, "For sea sickness."
Ashen says, "I see."
genericgeekgirl asks, "Well, do we want to explore or find our room first?"
DavidW says, "But I would like to find our suite and put our suitcase down."

Floyd |    Almost all portions of the second deck can be accessed from here.
Floyd | A corridor to the east leads to the bar.  The video arcade is to the

genericgeekgirl says, "I'm totally going to want to go to the arcade, though."
Ashen says, "That's a lot of locations . . ."
Ashen says, "This ship is so fancy it has *two* entrances to the gift shop."
Jacqueline says (to Ashen), "Yeah, absolutely. You can enter commands, just ask before you do something we might all be jarred by, like jumping over the side or whatnot."
genericgeekgirl says, "But not fancy enough that it only has *one* gift shop? :P"
genericgeekgirl says, "Continuing straight to where I think our room is supposed to be if there are no objections."

Floyd |    The bathroom is equipped with the standard facilities:  a toilet,

DavidW says (to Floyd), "turn on faucet"
Floyd | It's already turned on!
Floyd |

Ashen says, "If it's here, it *has* to be a puzzle item, otherwise it'd be scenery. Or maybe I'm just being paranoid."
Jacqueline says, "To stuff up the notoriously easy to mess up boat toilet, of course."
genericgeekgirl says (to Ashen), "Not always true."
Jacqueline says (to ggg), "Not always true, but there are a lot of people who feel that way."
Ashen says (to genericgeekgirl), "Until encumberance comes into play my D&D background says to take everything that isn't nailed down."
genericgeekgirl says, "cyberskunk and I carried around a cup of stale digusting coffee in Anchorhead until the game forced us to throw it away. Just in case."
Ashen says, "Either that or I'm just being silly."
Jacqueline says, "If it's not important, don't let the player take it... in fact, don't even draw attention to it. <-- I am not of this school of thought."
Jacqueline says (to ggg), "hahaha"
DavidW says, "We have a swimsuit. I bet we should not take toilet paper into the pool."
genericgeekgirl asks, "But can we swim in the toilet?"
Jacqueline exclaims, "Go for it!"
Ashen says, "Only one way to find out."
genericgeekgirl says (to Floyd), "swim"
Floyd | The game makes you swim automatically when you are in the pool.  If
Floyd | you want to move around, use the compass directions, up, and down.  If
Floyd | you are in the pool and you want to go underwater, use down.

DavidW says (to Floyd), "flush toilet"
Floyd | Whoooosh
Floyd |    That was fun!  But hanging out in the bathroom and flushing the
Floyd | toilet just to see what happens is not exactly your idea of a dream
Floyd | vacation.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
genericgeekgirl says, "Lies."
Ashen says, "This semicolon thing is really messing me up."
Jacqueline says, "See, this is why people avoid implementing bathrooms, because players get distracted by them."
genericgeekgirl says (to Ashen), "I aliased #cf to #clubfloyd, and I just type it each time, rather than relying on the "last channel" syntax, because I'm paranoid."
DavidW says, "And to think they were almost interested in the gift shop, bar, and video arcade."

Jacqueline says (to Ashen), "It'll get easier. Also, you could set youself @expert if it's not set already, which'll make you type a " before saying things off-channel."
Jacqueline says (to DW), "I know"
Ashen says, "Better idea than I am. And Jacqueline, thanks."

Jacqueline asks, "But why play Pac Man when you can just stay in your cabin and play in the toilet?"
genericgeekgirl says (to Floyd), "x swimsuit"
Floyd | It is a standard red pair of swim trunks with white strings.

genericgeekgirl says (to Floyd), "search laundry"

DavidW says, "The PC is a guy. We were called 'sir' when we boarded."
Ashen says, "Also, the lack of any top for the swimwear might be a hint."
DavidW says, "Perhaps."
genericgeekgirl asks, "Maybe it's that sort of cruise?"
DavidW asks, "European?"
genericgeekgirl says, "I guess that would be the AIF game maga thought it was :P~"
DavidW says, "Let's explore the ship. Don't forget to lock the door behind us."

Floyd | The Bar
Floyd |    A man dressed in an odd-looking black hooded robe sits on one of
Floyd | the barstools, drinking a foamy beer.  Besides him, no one else is in
Floyd | the bar.  Behind the bar, the bartender is nowhere to be seen.
Floyd | Perhaps he is taking a break.  Perhaps, that is why the bar is so
Floyd | empty.  To the north, vacationers gamble away their money in the
Floyd | casino.  A corridor to the west leads to the grand hall.
Floyd |    The old man extends a single hairy finger outside of his robe and
Floyd | beckons to you.  "You!", he calls in a low, raspy voice.  "Come have a
Floyd | seat.  I must tell you something important."
Floyd |
Floyd |
Floyd | The old man snakes a strong, thin, gnarly arm out of his cloak and
Floyd | takes a long drink of his ale.  Then the arm disappears back into his
Floyd | cloak.  But although you could have sworn you saw the frothy amber
Floyd | liquid emptying into his mouth, you notice the mug is still full to

Floyd | he is obviously very old, his posture is straight, and he appears
Floyd | strong and healthy.
Floyd |    His face is wrinkled and is shrouded in the shadow of his hood.
Floyd | His eyes are deepset but stare penetratingly out from between his
Floyd | wrinkles.  Great wisdom seems to emanate from them.  His nose is thin
Floyd | and bends slightly to the left.  His lips are almost hidden within the
Floyd | shadows of his cloak.  You can just barely make out the top of a long,
Floyd | thick, grey beard that extends from just below his lower lip down into
Floyd | his robe.

Floyd | (the barstool)
Floyd |
Floyd |    "Listen to my words!"
Floyd |    "I am a powerful wizard.  I am aligned with the forces of good.
Floyd | Another powerful wizard is trapped in a magical location on this ship.
Floyd | He is aligned with the forces of evil.  The island to which ship
Floyd | travels has come into alignment with a place of great evil magical
Floyd | power located in another universe. When the ship reaches the island,
Floyd | the evil wizard will slowly accrue power from the power source in the
Floyd | other universe.  If the ship stays at the island long enough, he will
Floyd | accrue enough power to break free from the magical forces that hold
Floyd | him prisoner.  Then he will conquer the entire earth and enslave the
Floyd | entire human race.
Floyd |    "There is only one way that this can be prevented.  Three power
Floyd | crystals are located on this ship, all on different decks from each
Floyd | other.  You must find them.  In order to invoke their power, you must
Floyd | hold them in your hands; you cannot put them in any sort of container.
Floyd | After you have found them, taking them to the location of the portal
Floyd | to the evil wizard's prison will cause the area to be illuminated in a
Floyd | bright pink aura.  You must go up from that location several times to
Floyd | reach the evil wizard's prison.  You must bring the three power
Floyd | crystals to the place where the evil wizard is before he accrues
Floyd | enough power to break free.  The crystals will cause him to be
Floyd | destroyed.
Floyd |    "You are probably wondering why I don't gather these crystals
Floyd | myself since I am such a powerful wizard.  The problem is that this is
Floyd | something only you can do.  You have a special aura about you.
Floyd | Because of this aura, you can gather the crystals.  Because of this
Floyd | aura, you can use them to defeat the evil wizard.  I cannot cast any
Floyd | spells to assist you; if I do, the crystals will be destroyed.
Floyd |    "I can, however, help you by giving you two magical items:  an evil
Floyd | detector and some magic eyedrops.  The evil detector will tell you how
Floyd | much evil power the evil wizard has absorbed from the evil power
Floyd | source.  If it reads 275 or higher, he will have enough power to
Floyd | escape from his confines.  The magic eyedrops will allow you to see
Floyd | the power crystals, which are normally invisible to ordinary people."
Floyd |    The wizard pulls something out of the depths of his cloak that
Floyd | looks very similar to a digital wristwatch and puts it around your
Floyd | wrist.  "This is the evil detector", he says.
Floyd |    The wizard takes a spray bottle out of the depths of his robe and
Floyd | sprays a liquid from it into your eyes.  It stings for a while, but
Floyd | after the stinging goes away, you feel as if your vision is somehow
Floyd | more acute.  "Those were the magic eyedrops," he says.
Floyd |    "Before you go, I must warn you of one thing," says the wizard.
Floyd | "The special aura that surrounds you is a mixed blessing.  It does
Floyd | allow you to collect the crystals and defeat the evil wizard.  Its
Floyd | drawback, however, is that if you come in complete alignment with an
Floyd | evil power source in another universe, you will die.  This means that
Floyd | you must not go out onto the island.
Floyd |    "Oh, one more thing:  You're probably thinking that this is a
Floyd | ridiculous scenario, that surely since I am such a powerful wizard I
Floyd | can do this myself.  To help you understand the situation better, I
Floyd | will remind you of a story you have probably heard before, that of
Floyd | Aladdin.  In that story, a powerful sorcerer wanted to get a magical
Floyd | lamp out of a cave.  However, only Aladdin could enter the cave.  It
Floyd | didn't matter that the sorcerer was a powerful sorcerer.  Only Aladdin
Floyd | could enter the cave.
Floyd |    "If you want to hear all this again, ask me about the evil wizard."

Floyd |    *The Rhinoceros is so named because the designer's favorite animal
Floyd | was the rhino.  He wanted to have pictures of rhinos painted all over
Floyd | the ship, but the cruise line refused.  The designer reluctantly
Floyd | agreed, but only under the condition that the ship be named in honor
Floyd | of his favorite animal.
Floyd |
Floyd |    *The Rhinoceros is 327 feet long and comes 22 feet above the water
Floyd | at its highest point.  Its cruising speed is 23 knots.
Floyd |
Floyd |    *Believe it or not, large, powerful magnets occupy the bow and
Floyd | stern of The Rhinoceros.  Their orientation is such that any compass
Floyd | on the ship will always tell you that the bow is to the north and the
Floyd | stern to the south Therefore, the lobby, for instance, is always to
Floyd | the "north" of the boarding area no matter which direction the ship is
Floyd | travelling.  These magnets are in all of this cruise line's ships
Floyd | because our eccentric CEO insists that the magnetic fields will have
Floyd | positive effect on the health of the passengers and crew.  The magnets
Floyd | do not affect the ship's navigation because the captain uses GPS
Floyd | (global positioning system) to determine which direction it is
Floyd | travelling.

Ellison goes back to Squeamhurst..
Ellison has disconnected. Puff says, "I've heard of a lot of people getting food poisoning"
Jacqueline says, "I think that's genereally norovirus, not food poisoning."
Jacqueline says, "Though it's easy to confuse the two."
Jacqueline says, "I actually eat on cruise ships fairly frequently due to my job, and the foods generally pretty good."
Jacqueline says, "s/foods/food's"
DavidW says (to Jacqueline), "thank you"
genericgeekgirl says, "Huh. Which lines? My experience wasn't great, and neither was another friend on another line."
Jacqueline says, "But yeah, all those people in a closed space is kind of a communicable disease nightmare - purell is your friend."
OtherAndy has had his fill of playing for now, and goes back to the Lounge. Jacqueline says (to ggg), "Well, mostly Holland, but I've also been on Celebrity and Norwegian and Carnival."
genericgeekgirl says, "Unfortunately, regardless of where the cruise is going, they're limited in what they're allowed to serve (so nothing "local"), and they're catering to boring tastes. Oh. Hm. We went on Norwegian."

genericgeekgirl says, "I can't remember which line E went on. I think it was also Norwegian, on a cruise to Alaska."
genericgeekgirl says, "Anyway."
inky asks, "do cruise ships serve basically the same thing every night?"
Jacqueline says (to Puff), "No. I work with the park service, and we often have rangers give presentations on ships. We're sometimes out on the ships all day long, and if that's the case, then we end up grabbing a quick bite to eat. Just the lunch line, generally nothing too fancy."
genericgeekgirl says (to inky), "It depends on the restaurant, but usually there's a set menu and a daily special. The buffets don't change."
Jacqueline says, "But I've been on several cruises on my personal time as well."
inky says, "because that could explain why someone on the ship full-time would think it's lame but someone just popping in for a day would like it better"
Jacqueline says, "Yes."
Jacqueline says, "Though I've done three separate week-long cruises."
Jacqueline says, "I wasn't OMG YAY FOOD, but it wasn't bad."

genericgeekgirl says, "This was with Norwegian, last October."
inky says, "I thought it was supposed to be more like casino buffet level"
genericgeekgirl says (to inky), "Yeah."
Jacqueline says, "Yeah, Norwegian has been my least happy food experience, one of their silly Free Style cruises, so I can appreciate that."
genericgeekgirl says, "Although there are also sit-down restaurants."
Jacqueline says, "I went to Hawaii and Kiribati on Norwegian about ten years ago and we weren't too impressed with the food (though the ports of call and such were great)."
