| genericgeekgirl asks, "When we last voted, Olivia's Orphanorium by maga came in second, so unless someone really wants to play something else, should we just start that one tonight?" | ||

Floyd ] Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | While not particularly graphic in its depiction, this game is Floyd | centrally about the institutional mistreatment of children, in which Floyd | the player character is instrumental. That considered, do you wish to Floyd | continue? | genericgeekgirl says, "Yes!" | |
| jenrexrode says, "I played with someone with a techy funny name" | ||
| Lionheart arrives, full of funk, but no fun. | jenrexrode says, "i forgot, then someone reminded me, and I forgot again." | |

Floyd | Floyd | When young the orphan is commonly sent to an asylum, where by Floyd | careful cultivation of its rudimentary sense of locality it is taught Floyd | to know its place. It is then instructed in the arts of dependence and Floyd | servitude and eventually turned loose to prey upon the world as a Floyd | bootblack or scullery maid. -- Bierce | jenrexrode says, "no, it was like emacsuser, but not that person, and it was a girl" | |
| Johnny says, "Vimuser." | ||
| genericgeekgirl asks, "You don't mean thexenographer, do you?" | ||
| jenrexrode says, "yeah, i think so" | ||
| genericgeekgirl says, "Ah, she's cool. She's local, and created a cardgame about lesbians and cats." | ||
| jenrexrode says, "we got one or two of the girls a job, and some got adopted, I am not sure if the game ends." | ||

Floyd | Floyd | Skimming briefly through a few of the Tales, you are shocked at how Floyd | gruesomely inappropriate they are for children; clearly these predate Floyd | the more pure-minded Revised Edition.

Floyd | Olivia's Orphanorium was written for Cover Stories, a Floyd | minicomp in which artists supplied pieces of cover art, after which Floyd | authors each chose a cover and wrote an appropriate game. The games Floyd | were coded in three weeks, plus a two-week testing period. Floyd | Floyd | The cover image was selected by Rowan Lipkovits, from Google's LIFE Floyd | magazine photo archive; it is dated May 22, 1886, was taken by Wallace Floyd | G. Levison in Fort Greene, Brooklyn, and depicts one Isabel Harter, Floyd | who is unlikely to have been an orphan.

Their Floyd | designer, Hopfrock Truitt, fondly envisaged a future in which orphans Floyd | would find gainful employment as cycle-rickshaw pilots, a dream dashed Floyd | when it was discovered to be extremely stupid. Floyd | Floyd | (The tricycles are an activity upgrade; orphans ASSIGNed to them Floyd | will slowly become more vigorous. Assigning orphans to Floyd | self-improvement devices is vital if you wish to shape their Floyd | character.) Floyd | Floyd | > | ||

Floyd | Floyd | Finally, you are responsible for four orphans and your treasury Floyd | amounts to 50 coins. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| genericgeekgirl says (to Floyd), "x manual" | ||
Floyd ] Day: 1 Children: 4 Treasury: 50 Floyd | > Floyd | > X MANUAL Floyd | Floyd | The bestselling guide from the leading authority on the orphan Floyd | industry. You turn to a well-thumbed page in the first chapter: Floyd | Floyd | The Government, firm in its belief that the private sector is Floyd | best-equipped to reduce waste and deliver results, will pay you a Floyd | stipend for each orphan and a further bonus for each child placed in a Floyd | gainful profession. Since the Government wisely abhors handouts and Floyd | rewarding failure, you will receive no funds for orphans escaped, Floyd | deceased, or who upon their majority have failed to become productive Floyd | citizens, ensuring their descent into vice. These are assumed to be Floyd | the natural fates of the orphan, however, and will incur no penalty. Floyd | Floyd | For further reading, consider the entries on discipline, vigour, Floyd | looks, morale. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| genericgeekgirl says (to Floyd), "x discipline" | ||
Floyd ] Day: 1 Children: 4 Treasury: 50 Floyd | > Floyd | > X DISCIPLINE Floyd | Floyd | You can't see any such thing. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||

| genericgeekgirl says (to Floyd), "consider discipline" | ||
Floyd ] Day: 1 Children: 4 Treasury: 50 Floyd | > Floyd | > CONSIDER DISCIPLINE Floyd | Floyd | (in Athaliah Hertford's Manual of Childcare): Floyd | Virtually all orphans have an unnatural want of discipline. Floyd | Instilling discipline and a sense of the value of hard work is Floyd | essential if they are ever to become productive members of society, Floyd | and should be your highest priority. Your orphans must be made to Floyd | understand that discipline is not just an abstract noun; it is is an Floyd | active verb. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| genericgeekgirl says (to Floyd), "consider vigor" | ||
Floyd ] Day: 1 Children: 4 Treasury: 50 Floyd | > Floyd | > CONSIDER VIGOR Floyd | Floyd | (in Athaliah Hertford's Manual of Childcare): Floyd | A crucial quality that most orphans lack is vigour. Orphans are Floyd | by inclination lazy and weak, but this can be remedied with a firm Floyd | hand. A robust orphan can earn you good money on treadmills, and may Floyd | get a position doing menial hard labour -- laundries, the infantry, Floyd | and the like. Never forget, however, that a strong, healthy orphan is Floyd | better-equipped to escape. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| genericgeekgirl says (to Floyd), "consider looks" | ||
Floyd ] Day: 1 Children: 4 Treasury: 50 Floyd | > Floyd | > CONSIDER LOOKS Floyd | Floyd | (in Athaliah Hertford's Manual of Childcare): Floyd | Of no small importance in this fallen world are looks. Most Floyd | orphans will resemble a diseased turnip no matter how much you SCRUB Floyd | them, but a few may become presentable enough to earn posts as Floyd | housemaids or footmen. A particularly angelic orphan might even be Floyd | adopted by a respectable family, which is the best racket of all; but Floyd | such happy providence is not to be relied upon. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| genericgeekgirl says (to Floyd), "consider morale" | ||
Floyd ] Day: 1 Children: 4 Treasury: 50 Floyd | > Floyd | > CONSIDER MORALE Floyd | Floyd | (in Athaliah Hertford's Manual of Childcare): Floyd | Orphans are an ungrateful, unhealthy lot and may undergo a lack of Floyd | mental and physical morale; this makes them prone to Floyd | mischievious acts, such as escaping and dying of malnutrition. Be Floyd | firm, and remember that without you they have no hope of any kind of Floyd | true happiness. Floyd | Floyd | > | Johnny says, "What little pranksters." | |
| Zach says (to Floyd), "x form" | ||
Floyd ] Day: 1 Children: 4 Treasury: 50 Floyd | > Floyd | > X FORM Floyd | Floyd | Producing gruel in-house was determined to be inefficient relative to Floyd | subcontracting, not to mention an incentive to theft. Using this form Floyd | you can change your standing order with Slophouse & Sons, who offer Floyd | grades of gruel from 1 to 5, high numbers cheapest. Your current order Floyd | is for Grade 3, thin gruel; this will cost six coins a day. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| Zach says (to Floyd), "x bell" | ||
Floyd ] Day: 1 Children: 4 Treasury: 50 Floyd | > Floyd | > X BELL Floyd | Floyd | This heavy brass bell summons the orphans to their daily meal, Floyd | signalling the day's end. You prefer to ring it only when all the Floyd | affairs of the day have been taken care of. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
