| Zach says, "Good morning, Floyd and Friends" | ||
| jenrexrode asks, "is it time?" | ||
| Zach says, "I'm gonna vote for Shuffling Around" | ||
| Ellison drops fun shiny toy. | Zach says, "Since I've played the other. It is fun, though." | |
| Zach plays with the fun shiny toy, and lights up with childlike glee. | Trumgottist says, "Good evening. :)" | |
| Ellison says, "I won't be playing today so it doesn't matter to me" | ||
| Trumgottist says, "I have no preference." | ||
| Zach asks, "Any other thoughts?" | ||
| jenrexrode arrives, full of fun and funk. | pim says, "I'm new here, I have no preferences except to play something" | |
| Zach asks, "jen rode a rex?" | ||
| Zach says (to Floyd), "load sleepmask shufflingaround" | ||
Floyd ] Busiest Subsite (Intro) 0/5 Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | So you just got fired from the best company ever, and it's the best Floyd | day of your life. New opportunities! New horizons! New ways to look at Floyd | things! Like calling this stupid kiss-off job fair a "convention." Floyd | Floyd | Shuffling Around Floyd | A weird power to save a weird world by Ned Yompus Floyd | Release 1 / Serial number 121107 / Inform 7 build 6G60 (I6/v6.32 lib Floyd | 6/12N) Floyd | Floyd | Busiest Subsite Floyd | This is the ritziest hotel you'll ever stay in. Terraces are west, a Floyd | banner hangs over an auditorium entry to the east, and the elevator Floyd | you came from is to the south. North's a function for later in the Floyd | day. Floyd | Floyd | There's a sign over an odd side passage the bustling, babbling masses Floyd | seem to be ignoring. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| pim says (to Floyd), "read sign" | ||
Floyd ] Busiest Subsite (Intro) 0/5 Floyd | > Floyd | > READ SIGN Floyd | Floyd | It says NONE TRY, and it's just above a side passage people are Floyd | ignoring. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| Zach says (to Floyd), "x side passage" | ||
Floyd ] Busiest Subsite (Intro) 0/5 Floyd | > Floyd | > X SIDE PASSAGE Floyd | Floyd | It's just under the NONE TRY sign. You could probably ENTER it, or go Floyd | INSIDE. It's not really any direction you can tell, and you could have Floyd | sworn it was near a different exit before you turned your back on it Floyd | just a bit ago. It curves quickly so you can't see much of it. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| pim says (to Floyd), "read banner" | ||
Floyd ] Busiest Subsite (Intro) 0/5 Floyd | > Floyd | > READ BANNER Floyd | Floyd | "This way: BEING FIRED!" People walk by, discussing how the DEBRIEFING Floyd | should make Mondays dynamos again. Floyd | Floyd | > | jenrexrode says, "#clubf heh" | |
| Zach asks, "I guess "none try" = "no entry"?" | ||
| jenrexrode asks, "like someone bumped the "N"?" | ||
| Zach says (to Floyd), "e" | ||
Floyd | > Floyd | > E Floyd | Floyd | That way's an hour or two of listening to an under-action denunciator. Floyd | You sure? | Trumgottist asks, "Is this a wordplay game?" | |
| jenrexrode asks, "maybe you need to shuffle the letters?" | ||
| pim says, "are we to assume the CAPITALIZED WORDS are keywords/commands" | ||
| Zach says, "I think I have played a few minutes of this game, but I never got anywhere." | ||
| jenrexrode says, "is BEING FIRED an anagram of DEBRIEFING" | ||
| Zach says, "Looks like it" | ||
| Zach puts on his anagram shoes | ||
| pim says, "oh boy" | ||
| Zach says (to Floyd), "enter" | ||
Floyd | You sure?
Floyd | > ENTER
Floyd |
Floyd | Please answer yes or no.>

| Zach says (to Floyd), "no" | ||
Floyd ] Busiest Subsite (Intro) 0/5 Floyd | Please answer yes or no.> Floyd | > NO Floyd | Floyd | You pause before entering. The lecture seems like it'd be fun to Floyd | ditch. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| Zach says (to Floyd), "s" | ||
Floyd ] Busiest Subsite (Intro) 0/5 Floyd | > Floyd | > S Floyd | Floyd | You already spent too much time in the overlate elevator. Floyd | Floyd | Your eye catches the side passage, which looks more interesting than Floyd | the standard ways out. Maybe you could give it another look. Floyd | Floyd | > | Zach says, "Hmm, I guess that's the way to go." | |
| jenrexrode asks, "does it change if you look again?" | ||
| pim says, "there's north too "for another day"" | ||
| Zach says (to Floyd), "x sigbn" | ||

Floyd ] Busiest Subsite (Intro) 0/5 Floyd | > Floyd | > N Floyd | Floyd | That way's a costlier cloister of rooms than recent firees deserve. Floyd | The measure-a-resume event will be there, but not for another couple Floyd | hours. You don't really want to get an agent, anyway. Floyd | Floyd | You feel sort of cornered by all the main passages. Sneaking off Floyd | anywhere would be kind of fun. Floyd | Floyd | > | pim says, "er, sorry, later in the day it said" | |
| pim says (to Floyd), "enter side passage" | ||
Floyd | > Floyd | > ENTER SIDE PASSAGE Floyd | Floyd | Someone tugs you by the arm. "Can't you read? It says NO ENTRY! Quit Floyd | dawdling and get to the DEBRIEFING already!" Floyd | Floyd | You check and make sure. No, still NONE TRY. As you walk away, you Floyd | hear "INSTRUCTIONS, son. I trust I c..." Floyd | (this is the first in-game pause. Whenever the game pauses without a Floyd | cursor in the future, you need to push any key to continue.) | pim says, "NO ENTRY indeed" | |
| Trumgottist says, "Probably should read the instructions." | ||
| pim goes home. | ||
| pim arrives, ready to play with the toys. | Zach says, "Oh, this isn't an anagram game: we just have dyslexia." | |

Floyd ] A Dry Yard (Intro) 0/5 Floyd | cursor in the future, you need to push any key to continue.)The voice Floyd | cuts off. The passage behind is gone. You doubt missing the lecture Floyd | will go in your life file. Floyd | Floyd | A Dry Yard Floyd | Nothing particularly beautiful grows here. All manner of prickly Floyd | things and dried-up weeds lie around. You see a big huge thorn Floyd | blocking an exit. You're not sure what direction--you've gotten spun Floyd | around--but the smaller thorns shooting off from it block any hope of Floyd | slipping by. The carefully pruned shrub and the brush laid next to it Floyd | seem much more orderly. Floyd | Floyd | A toga is lying here. It doesn't look particularly festive or clean. Floyd | Floyd | So what was that lecture supposed to be about? One word changing Floyd | how we look at things, how things are? Rubbish. It has to be. You Floyd | think. Floyd | Floyd | > | pim says, "the pause swallowed the command" | |
| pim says (to Floyd), "about" | ||
Floyd ] A Dry Yard (Intro) 0/5 Floyd | > Floyd | > ABOUT Floyd | Floyd | This game is about, well, I don't want to spoil that yet until you get Floyd | your first point, which I hope isn't too hard. It's a bit different Floyd | from other text adventures, being a wordplay game, but the hope is Floyd | that the right sort of command to solve certain puzzles is clued in Floyd | more than one way. Floyd | Floyd | This is much simpler than it sounds, and I think/hope I've made Floyd | efforts to make it less guess-the-verb. Floyd | Floyd | You can see tester credits with CREDITS. Also, I am very interested in Floyd | transcripts to make this game better. If you've never made a Floyd | transcript, type TRANSCRIPT and you can pick the file to save to. Then Floyd | send the transcript to ned.yompus@gmail.com with my thanks. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| Zach says (to Floyd), "credits" | ||
Floyd ] A Dry Yard (Intro) 0/5 Floyd | > Floyd | > CREDITS Floyd | Floyd | There is a list of websites I would like to credit. But it might spoil Floyd | things before you score anything. So I'll just list beta-testers and Floyd | general help. Floyd | Floyd | Adri, Anthony Hope, DJ Hastings, Gavin Myers-Leman, Hulk Handsome Floyd | (not spoiled til you score a point,) Joey Jones, John Floyd | Nitchals, Paul Lee, Robert Patten and Tomie Campf, in alphabetical Floyd | first-name order. They found 700+ bugs. Floyd | Floyd | It must be noted that several bugs that popped up in the release Floyd | version were due to me trying to slip in one more small thing without Floyd | adequate re-testing. If there is anything obvious (and there was, in Floyd | the initial release,) it is my fault and not theirs. Floyd | Floyd | John Nitchals made the cover art.

Floyd | Floyd | Also, thanks to the folks at intfiction.org who helped me code things. Floyd | Floyd | Finally, type SITES for a list of sites that helped, which will Floyd | totally spoil things right now. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||

| pim says (to Floyd), "x toga" | ||
Floyd ] A Dry Yard (Intro) 0/5 Floyd | > Floyd | > X TOGA Floyd | Floyd | On it you see a four-legged animal with a sort of beard and horns. In Floyd | one corner you see some writing. The toga also smells vaguely of Floyd | barnyards. Floyd | Floyd | > | pim says, "toga = goat" | |
| Zach says (to Floyd), "x goat" | ||
Floyd ] A Dry Yard (Intro) 1/5 Floyd | > Floyd | > X GOAT Floyd | Floyd | (In the future, you can just say what you need to summon. No verbs or Floyd | frills.) Floyd | Floyd | The dingy toga shuddders. It seems to rip, make legs, and twist Floyd | around, like one of those balloon animals you were never good at. All Floyd | this twisting has left him with an appetite, and he walks over to the Floyd | delicious thorns and brambles. Floyd | Floyd | They're not much, though, so he mauls the shrub a bit before making a Floyd | dessert of the brush that you just now notice spelled GATO. Exhausted, Floyd | he turns around three times and falls asleep. Floyd | Floyd | Wait. Did you just do that? Change a toga into a goat? You aren't sure Floyd | if you were REALLY thinking about doing so, but you come to the Floyd | realization you didn't rationalize back there, and you may have a Floyd | latent talent. Floyd | Floyd | [Your score has just gone up by one point.] Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| pim says (to Floyd), "x cat" | ||
Floyd ] A Dry Yard (Intro) 1/5 Floyd | > Floyd | > X CAT Floyd | Floyd | The goat ate enough of it, it doesn't look like anything any more. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||

Floyd ] A Dry Yard (Intro) 1/5 Floyd | > Floyd | > LOOK Floyd | Floyd | A Dry Yard Floyd | Nothing particularly beautiful grows here. All manner of prickly Floyd | things and dried-up weeds lie around. You see an exit in some Floyd | direction or other where the thorn was. The shrub and brush the goat Floyd | wrecked are here, too. Floyd | Floyd | The goat is half-sleeping here. He's probably best left that way. Floyd | Floyd | > | Zach says, "Good, verbs are too fancy for me." | |
| pim says, "brush = scrub, a dry = yard. heh" | ||
| pim says, "er wait nm that first one :P" | ||

| Zach says (to Floyd), "exit" | ||
Floyd ] A Dry Yard (Intro) 1/5 Floyd | > Floyd | > EXIT Floyd | Floyd | You feel a sudden sense of vertigo as you walk towards the passage Floyd | where the thorn was. You realize you have lost your sense of Floyd | direction, and for whatever reason, you're preoccupied with finding it Floyd | before you can continue. So, which way is the thorn? Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| pim says (to Floyd), "north" | ||
Floyd ] Notices Section (Intro) 2/5 Floyd | > Floyd | > NORTH Floyd | Floyd | With the big thorn gone, why, of course you can go north. Though the Floyd | goat didn't clear out all the thorns. One rips your nametag slightly. Floyd | But beyond that, there's a path that leads to an open field. Floyd | Floyd | Notices Section Floyd | You're not sure what to do here, and there's no welcoming committee. Floyd | But there's a broad board with various scrawlings. Floyd | Floyd | You see an incomplete-looking dollhouse with a crackling noise coming Floyd | from a few loud holes. It is labeled FOR INSTRUCTIONAL PURPOSES ONLY. Floyd | Floyd | It can't be... can it be...? A cabinet floating in mid-air. It looks Floyd | acne-bit. It's open, too. Floyd | Floyd | A gateway is here. You can see through its sturdy wire fencing, but it Floyd | doesn't seem to lead anywhere. Floyd | Floyd | [Your score has just gone up by one point.] Floyd | Floyd | > | Zach says, "huzzah" | |
| Zach says (to Floyd), "i" | ||
Floyd ] Notices Section (Intro) 2/5 Floyd | > Floyd | > I Floyd | Floyd | Item time! You are carrying: Floyd | a dope tan notepad Floyd | a magenta nametag (being worn) Floyd | Floyd | > | pim says, "this is fun" | |
| Zach says (to Floyd), "x notepad" | ||
Floyd ] Notices Section (Intro) 2/5 Floyd | > Floyd | > X NOTEPAD Floyd | Floyd | It's your workbook. It holds bookwork. Not a thrilling color to most, Floyd | and one of many you bought cheap a long time ago, and they haven't run Floyd | out yet. It's small enough to fit in a pocket, and you have clipped a Floyd | pen over it, too. Floyd | Floyd | (To use the notepad, you can type PAD (subject) or CONSULT PAD ABOUT Floyd | (subject). If you forget what you've written about, you can type PAD Floyd | or CONSULT PAD.) Floyd | Floyd | > | ||

Floyd ] Notices Section (Intro) 2/5 Floyd | > Floyd | > LOOK IN CABINET Floyd | Floyd | (Nothing in this game has anything deeply hidden, so searching works Floyd | like examining.) Floyd | Floyd | It's open. The cratered bits, once retraced, spell CAN BITE. You see a Floyd | tinfoil info-lit, a tagged gadget, an idlers' slider and a salient Floyd | saltine inside. Floyd | Floyd | > | jenrexrode asks, "bactine?" | |
| Zach says, "I mean, as far as disambiguating to things we don't know about." | ||

Floyd ] Notices Section (Intro) 2/5 Floyd | > Floyd | > TAKE GADGET Floyd | Floyd | You wonder what this gadget IS as you pick it up. It looks like it Floyd | analyzes something. Perhaps you should try it on a few available Floyd | things like the nametag? Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| jenrexrode says (to Floyd), "culture" | ||
Floyd ] Notices Section (Intro) 2/5 Floyd | > Floyd | > CULTURE Floyd | Floyd | That's not something you can say, do or see here. Floyd | Floyd | > | jenrexrode says, "oops" | |

| Zach says (to Floyd), "use gadget on nametag" | ||
Floyd ] Notices Section (Intro) 2/5 Floyd | > Floyd | > USE GADGET ON NAMETAG Floyd | Floyd | Use is a bit too vague for this game's parser to understand. You can Floyd | SWITCH something, or PUT something IN/ON something, or even ATTACH Floyd | something to something. You can PUSH a button or OPEN something, as Floyd | well. Specific items should clue you what to do if you EXAMINE them. Floyd | Floyd | > | jenrexrode says, "lecture" | |

| pim says, "my favorite so far is "trisected bra"" | ||
| Trumgottist says (to floyd), "x gadget" | ||
Floyd ] Notices Section (Intro) 2/5 Floyd | > Floyd | > X GADGET Floyd | Floyd | It looks like a wall stud sensor, six inches by twelve, with a screen Floyd | broken into nine mini-panels. An instructional tag you can read is Floyd | tied to the handle, which narrows where it meets the main part. The Floyd | gadget crackles with greeny energy. Floyd | Floyd | > | inky says, "ha ha" | |
| Zach says (to Floyd), "x tag" | ||
Floyd ] Notices Section (Intro) 2/5 Floyd | > Floyd | > X TAG Floyd | Floyd | (the instructional tag) Floyd | "This gadget is certified untransmogrifiable. It can be used to SCAN Floyd | objects to determine their transmogrification states. Removing tag Floyd | invalidates warranty. One beep means item is changeable. Buzz means it Floyd | has been changed." Floyd | Floyd | The good stuff is about how one beep means something you should Floyd | change, and a buzz means something that can't be changed again. Above Floyd | a small print disclaimer you see the text EXAMPLE: LEMON <- RGRGG -> Floyd | MELON. A little thought and you realize only two reds on the gadget Floyd | makes things trivial. The example seems loaded in the gadget's favor, Floyd | but hey, that's advertising for you. Floyd | Floyd | > | pim exclaims, "void the warranty! void the warranty!" | |
| Zach says, "noooo" | ||
| Zach says (to Floyd), "scan nametag" | ||
Floyd ] Notices Section (Intro) 2/5 Floyd | > Floyd | > SCAN NAMETAG Floyd | Floyd | You see lights form on the screen--RGRGR*R--the sixth light starts Floyd | red, then flashes to green and back, as if there are two aspects to Floyd | the magenta nametag worth considering. Floyd | Floyd | > | Zach asks, "What if we want to return it?" | |

Floyd ] Notices Section (Intro) 2/5 Floyd | > Floyd | > X GATEWAY Floyd | Floyd | It's a fence gate, so you can see beyond and through it, though it Floyd | seems too heavy to lift in any case, but who knows, maybe if there was Floyd | a guy who tended to gates, he'd help you. It'd be neat if... Floyd | Floyd | (You can say the name of the gateway now to enter it. There's nothing Floyd | more hidden in its description.) Floyd | Floyd | > | pim asks, "I don't understand the RG code?" | |
| pim goes home. | Zach says, "Whether or not the letter moves" | |

Floyd ] Notices Section (Intro) 3/5 Floyd | > Floyd | > GATEMAN Floyd | Floyd | If you really CAN change the nametag, you don't want a gateman in your Floyd | face--so you chuck the nametag away. Not really believing... Floyd | Floyd | Whoah! The nametag pulses and pops in directions you didn't think Floyd | something that flat could. You hear a gish, then a sigh. A tall, Floyd | grouchy old man in sober robes so aged you almost say "Egad" cries Floyd | "The eyes! They see!" He grumbles how he shoulda been a portal king in Floyd | the parking lot, he's such a talking pro. Then he notices you. Floyd | Floyd | "Smug gums. But you'll have to do. Ehh? Heh.

Floyd | I noticed you used a period to separate commands. Unfortunately, the
Floyd | parser in Inform seems to have an extremely obscure bug (#1011 at
Floyd | inform7.com) that interacts with the solution to this game if you
Floyd | separate commands with periods. It was noticed near the release
Floyd | deadline, and it manifests itself when you refer to an in-game item or
Floyd | person or thing as one in a series of commands, usually three or more.
Floyd |
Floyd | I do this not to call out the people who've worked so hard on making
Floyd | Inform 7 robust and accessible but to warn you that there are certain
Floyd | commands you may wish to type by themselves, because this game taxes
Floyd | the parser. I accept if you choose to downgrade this game as a judge
Floyd | because of this, or because I may be wrong that the bug is on Inform's
