As played on ifMUD on June 1, 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 Something Grabbed Ahold of My Hand written by Melvin Rangasamy, I Don't Understand You written by Matt Weiner, I Heard a Sound written by Kevin Jackson-Mead, Mysterious Whispers written by Peter Nepstad, The Day That Love Came to Play written by S. John Ross, I'm Having a Heart Attack written by Andrew Schultz, and Fingertips (Reprise) written by Melvin Rangasamy. Week seven of the Apollo 18+20 IF Tribute Album games - these are all one-move Fingertips games. You can learn more about the games, including how to download them, by visiting the ifWiki pages: I Heard a Sound, Something Grabbed Ahold of My Hand, Fingertips (Reprise), I'm Having a Heart Attack, I Don't Understand You, Mysterious Whispers, and The Day That Love Came to Play.


WARNING! Below you will find a transcript of people playing these games, and it goes without saying that the transcript is full of spoilers. So, if you've never played these games, 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.

DavidW asks, "Who's running the show today?"
genericgeekgirl says, "I can, I suppose? Give me a moment, though. Switching to contacts for a bit."
djfletch arrives, full of funk, but no fun. genericgeekgirl says, "Ok, I guess we're starting with Something Grabbed Ahold of My Hand. And there are 8 or so games after that."
genericgeekgirl says (to Floyd), "quit"
inky arrives, full of funk, but no fun. DavidW says, "Is Perry recording? I didn't set him up or anything."
genericgeekgirl says, "So, Floyd thinks he's playing Kerkerkruip, and isn't responding to me."
genericgeekgirl says, "Yeah, I think Jacq left Perry logged in."
DavidW says, "You can forcequit with %quit, I think"
genericgeekgirl says (to Floyd), "%quit"
Floyd says, "game ended by request of genericgeekgirl." genericgeekgirl says, "Neat, thanks. I've had problems before where he seemed to just hang."

Floyd |
Floyd | You are in a prison that has 32767 cells. The Guv' has said that a new
Floyd | policy has been brought in by the Gov'. Due to prison crowding they're
Floyd | offering every prisoner the chance to be freed.
Floyd |
Floyd | In order to decide who gets set free, The Guv' will ask each prisoner
Floyd | which cell they choose. The prisoner will then be escorted to that
Floyd | cell where they will spend the night.
Floyd |
Floyd | During the night, a piece of card will be attached to each cell door
Floyd | on which will be written the word "keep" on one side and the word
Floyd | "release" on the other. The piece of card will start off with the word
Floyd | "keep" visible.
Floyd |
Floyd | The Guv' will turn around every piece of card so that the word
Floyd | "release" is now visible. Afterwards every second piece of card will
Floyd | be turned then every third and so on until the last card has been
Floyd | turned.
Floyd |
Floyd | "I don't make the rules," he says, "I only go to ridiculous lengths to
Floyd | enforce them."
Floyd |
Floyd | If at dawn when all the cards have been turned, the word "keep" is
Floyd | visible on a cell door, its prisoner will be forced to live out the
Floyd | rest of their sentence, but if the word "release" is visible on a cell
Floyd | door, its prisoner will be released.
Floyd |
Floyd | "Alright, you little oik," says The Guv',"which cell is it going to
Floyd | be?"

inky says, "man"
DavidW says, "I don't quite get this 'so on'."
genericgeekgirl says, "Oh, I remember this one. It's fun."
genericgeekgirl says, "And I'm *pretty sure* it's a static puzzle, so don't worry about giving a wrong answer."
inky says, "then every fourth card, then every fifth card, up to every 32767th card"
djfletch says, "hmm, so when it says every second card, does that mean second, fourth, etc and not first, third"
inky says, "yes"
DavidW asks, "well, if we're in cell 1, won't it be flipped from keep to release immediately and left that way, ignored by all the other flipping?"
inky says (to djfletch), "actually, hmm, I'm not sure, maybe I'm wrong"
inky says, "but it does seem like DavidW is correct if that is the case"
genericgeekgirl nods to DW.

Floyd | You are in a prison that has 32767 cells. The Guv' has said that a new
Floyd | policy has been brought in by the Gov'. Due to prison crowding they're
Floyd | offering every prisoner the chance to be freed.
Floyd |
Floyd | In order to decide who gets set free, The Guv' will ask each prisoner
Floyd | which cell they choose. The prisoner will then be escorted to that
Floyd | cell where they will spend the night.
Floyd |
Floyd | During the night, a piece of card will be attached to each cell door
Floyd | on which will be written the word "keep" on one side and the word
Floyd | "release" on the other. The piece of card will start off with the word
Floyd | "keep" visible.
Floyd |
Floyd | The Guv' will turn around every piece of card so that the word
Floyd | "release" is now visible. Afterwards every second piece of card will
Floyd | be turned then every third and so on until the last card has been
Floyd | turned.
Floyd |
Floyd | "I don't make the rules," he says, "I only go to ridiculous lengths to
Floyd | enforce them."
Floyd |
Floyd | If at dawn when all the cards have been turned, the word "keep" is

Floyd |
Floyd | But beyond the stars, and deep within the earth, dwelled Sazark, and

Floyd |
Floyd | The summoning can wait a second. This is your music, your
Floyd | moment. You sang it a thousand times when the blood was in your
Floyd | veins instead of on your hands, and the crowd wants it. You sing it
Floyd | silky, you sing it gentle ... and when the band hits that pause, you
Floyd | belt it out: the day that love ... came to play! In
Floyd | the crowd, Gladys dances and does her little kitty-cat paws, the lust
Floyd | of eternity's end glowing in her eyes.
Floyd |
Floyd | Eat your heart out, Sinatra. Again. Because it was hilarious
Floyd | the first time.

eu says (to Floyd), "about"
Floyd |
Floyd |
Floyd | This is a single-moment text-adventure by S. John Ross, a
Floyd | freebie fun-time toy from Cumberland Games & Diversions. You can enjoy
Floyd | this game on its own, but it's also one "fingertip track" on Apollo
Floyd | 18+20: The IF Tribute Album, a collection of themed games by many
Floyd | authors, honoring They Might Be Giants. There are full-sized games
Floyd | (based on the full-sized album tracks) and several single-moment
Floyd | fingertip games as well (the fingertips were little fragmentary
Floyd | tracks, often just a few seconds long).
Floyd |
Floyd | If you're looking for hints ... well, there's no way to win or lose,
Floyd | really. Make a single move (VERB THE NOUN) and the game is over (only
Floyd | it's not really over, since you can explore that same moment
Floyd | again and again). There is a command that ends the game
Floyd | utterly, so you can look for that if you want to. I would. But I'm
Floyd | biased.
Floyd |
Floyd | As per usual, everything would be worthless crapola without the
Floyd | testers (Gwyn Adams, Ruth Alfasso, Chris Creel, Dan Efran, Dave
Floyd | LeCompte, Zed Lopez, Eric Nail, Melvin Rangasamy and Daniel Suptic).
Floyd | Thanks also to Kevin Jackson-Mead for organizing the tribute, to Zarf
Floyd | for suggesting the fingertips be single-move games, and to Sam Barlow
Floyd | for Aisle.

Floyd | > ABOUT
Floyd |
Floyd | This game was written for the intfiction.org They Might Be Giants
Floyd | tribute. It follows the Fingertips mini-song "I'm Having a Heart
Floyd | Attack" and, like the other Fingertips games, consists of only one
Floyd | (meaningful) move. In this case, looking and examining and other
Floyd | non-time-consuming actions (like this) don't (always) count.
Floyd |
Floyd | This game was designed in the mold of the AISLE or Pick up the Phone
Floyd | Booth and Die joke games the Interactive Fiction community knows so
Floyd | well. I immediately thought "Hey, I could write a game called Pick Up
Floyd | the Lit Cigarette and Die," but I realized it'd be trolling to release
Floyd | in a totally serious venue.
Floyd |
Floyd | I don't think I'm trying to make any big social point with this,
Floyd | except I remember doodling about making my own text adventure games in
Floyd | health class well before Inform 7 existed. Especially during the
Floyd | wretchedly overdone movies.
Floyd |
Floyd | That said, Aisle by Sam Barlow is well done and has a deeper story
Floyd | than this. Check it out, if you haven't.
Floyd |
Floyd | Release 1 was 3/26/2012 for the tribute album.
Floyd | Release 2 was 4/15/2012. It added a point and tightened up writing and
Floyd | made more variable responses.

Floyd | The director makes a noncommital hmph. He already thought of that, but
Floyd | then again, you knew that, because you peeked at his notepad. Still,
Floyd | yay for scoring an extra point with me.
Floyd |
Floyd | Congratulations! You found a new way to die, or mess up, or mess up
Floyd | dying, and it involved guessing a verb!

Floyd |
Floyd | You go to take the paycheck. It's just lying out there. Since the
Floyd | script writers didn't fulfill their contract, legally...
Floyd |
Floyd | As you take your paycheck, the director takes you aside.
Floyd |
Floyd | "Good work today. You'll get a raise for this. And you'll deserve it.
Floyd | Truth be told, I saw MANAGEMENT MATERIAL out there. I mean, there're
Floyd | actors for acting's sake and all that rubbish, but you're clearly so
Floyd | much MORE than that."
Floyd |
Floyd | Congratulations on winning my little game here, such as it can be won!
Floyd | I actually intended it to be a sort of meta-exercise for the reader to
Floyd | get points for trying standard Interactive Fiction verbs. Or, if not
Floyd | points, funny reactions.
Floyd |
Floyd | In addition, I also created a crude coding engine so I could easily
Floyd | add verbs, add a second response (when I couldn't decide my favorite,)
Floyd | and even add cheating directions for if you read the director's
Floyd | notepad, which you did, though I hope there wasn't too much
Floyd | verb-guessing. I also plan to send out the source code, not as a
Floyd | shining example, but because I'm pleased with the flexibility I had.

Floyd | Well, actually, it was originally more that I wanted my own private
Floyd | revenge on cheesy health films. Plus I saw a bunch of opportunities
Floyd | for really sophomoric jokes that wouldn't have fit anywhere else. Like
Floyd | the LifeCall one. (And if you're not in/from the US, hey, I apologize
