ClubFloyd Transcript:
You Were Here by Joshua Houk
The Day of the Queen by Marius Müller
As played on ifMUD on January 4, 2015

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 You Were Here written by Joshua Houk, and The Day of the Queen written by Marius Müller. These games were released as part of the 2015 New Years Speed IF. You can learn more about the games, including how to download them, by visiting the IFDB pages: The Day of the Queen, and You Were Here.


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.

#ClubFloyd Discussion



DavidW asks, "okay. Taleslinger, do you have something you'd like to say before we begin?"
Nitku says, "I suggest we start with You Were Here"
Taleslinger says, "Nitku organized this year."
inky arrives, full of fun and funk. DavidW says, "oh! okay"
Jacqueline says (to nitku), "I was thinking that as well."
Taleslinger says, "So thanks to him for taking over."
DavidW says (to Nitku), "yes, thank you!"
Jacqueline asks (of Nitku), "Anything else, or would you like me to load that one up?"
Nitku asks, "Maybe the author would like to say a few words?"
JoshuaH says, "I don't have much to say at the moment. Just be aware that it's a very light thing."
JoshuaH says, "I also put in the text file of the release that there are some very slight spoilers in the game."
JoshuaH says, "342 of them."
says, "Interesting. It ... seemed a bit dark when I test loaded it onto Floyd. I'm looking forward to looking at it a bit more."
Taleslinger asks, "Spoilers for what?"
Jacqueline says (to Tale), "How you'll die."
JoshuaH says, "I guess that would be spoiling... :)"
JoshuaH says, "It's very unlikely that anything will be ruined. Sorry for the confusion. Also, first thing I've released via Inform. I think that it. Hope you like it."
Jacqueline asks, "Lest we spoil the spoilers about the spoilers, should we just play it?"
DavidW says, "I think we should."
Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "load sleepmask nys8youwerehere"

Taleslinger says, "Hm, a few texts seem to crop up more than others"
Jacqueline asks, "Wait, so is it pulling just the first sentences, and mushing 'em together, hence the language combos?"
Jacqueline asks, "Also, how did you compile all of this? Manually, or through some database thing, or you wrote a bot, or ?"
JoshuaH says, "Just random chance. Source code's in the release. Unfortunately, sometime you'll get repeating sentences in the same playthrough."

Taleslinger says, "I'm sure nm would like this."

JoshuaH says, "A bit of work, but not too much. A just paced myself over the past couple months."
DavidW says (to Taleslinger), "yes, nm would definitely like this."
JoshuaH says, "The tricky bit was tracking down releases that were listed in IFdb but didn't have links to the files. Wasn't always successful, but everyone got thanked in the thanks."
DavidW says (to Jacqueline), "I suppose there could be a footnote option added."
JoshuaH says (to Jacqueline), "Didn't have the foresight to do that. Wish I did, because it would have made error-checking and revising *much* easier."
DavidW says, "So each sentence would end in (1), (2), (3), then the footnote texts after the main paragraph."

Floyd | Time machine parts
Floyd | by drone has failed. It seems our delivery drone was shot down by the
Floyd | Air Force somewhere over Spielertor National Park. We can reattempt

Floyd | or be awesome,you think.
Floyd | The grenade ignites.
Floyd | The tube burns up in your hands faster than aluminum foil. There is a
Floyd | loud hissing and a trail of smoke towards the tank.
Floyd | For a second, nothing happens. With a loud, defeaning roar, the tank
Floyd | explodes, pushing over the golf cart, throwing you off the horse and
Floyd | into the woods. You crash against a tree and fall down. Around you,
Floyd | the forest has quickly caught fire. Flames roars, and metal cracks in
Floyd | the distance. You try to get up, but your back hasn't hurt this bad
Floyd | since your first yoga practice.
Floyd |
Floyd | Flaming Inferno
Floyd | This is just a place in the woods, surrounded by a roaring ring of
Floyd | flames.
Floyd | A burning hubcap rolls past you.
Floyd |
Floyd | A broken bottle lies here.

FloatingInfo says, "Seems you had the right idea fairly early on."

Floyd | Oh crap. You know this bottle.

Floyd | A shape stumbles from the fire, ragged, burnt patches of skin on the
Floyd | hands. Paul. He otherwise seems okay, though.
Floyd | "Paul" you croak, "I didn't know that the tank would explode quite so
Floyd | messily."
Floyd | Then you notice his red glowing eyes and crap your pants (not
Floyd | literally).
Floyd | "Oh, not to worry" says Uncle Wally. The last step he takes towards
Floyd | you feels like it takes a year.

Floyd | Alex and Paul will return.

DavidW says, "yay. I like how both Alex and I said 'crap' at the sight of the bottle."
FloatingInfo asks, "Are there any other games?"
Taleslinger says (to davidW), "That was the intended reaction! Yay!"
DavidW says, "Just those two, I think."
Taleslinger says, "Okay, I'm terribly sorry about the unintuitive bits."
Taleslinger says (to FloatingInfo), "7 or so"
DavidW asks, "oh, are the others not Floydable then?"
Nitku says, "Those two are the only ones in the New Year's event"
Nitku says, "(Tale meant previous Alex & Paul games)"
DavidW says, "ah"
Taleslinger says, "Oh, I misunderstood"
FloatingInfo asks, "Guess we're done then?"
Taleslinger says, "Thanks for playing, you guys"
DavidW says, "Despite all the bugginess, I still liked that game quite a bit."
Taleslinger says, "Maybe next year I'll get some beta testers."
Nitku exclaims, "Thanks to everyone for attending!"
DavidW says, "There's something about a gay sociopath in a golf cart that just does it for me, I guess."
Taleslinger says, "To each his own."
FloatingInfo goes home. DavidW says, "The end credits ought to be the cat meowing in the destroyed kitchen."
Taleslinger says, "ha ha"
Taleslinger says, "The cat was just there to explain the rat getting into the front door"
DavidW says, "It'll give Alex and Paul something to talk about."
DavidW says, "something new, I mean"
DavidW says, "Does the time travel bit mean we (gasp) might be returning to previous Alex & Paul games ala Back to the Future? 'Cause that would really be insane."
Taleslinger says, "I ... hadn't thought about that."
DavidW says, "Well, I assume Wally is gonna attempt to not be killed -- unless he likes being dead, which he might do."
Taleslinger says, "He does inhabit Paul's body, which will cause all sorts of trouble, I'd imagine."
DavidW says, "oh, I'm sure it will."
DavidW says, "well, you have another year to think about it. :)"
DavidW says, "(so exciting)"
DavidW says, "We might instead ignore the time travel doohickey and just battle the Queen of M and H."
Taleslinger says, "I think Next Year I'll make an actual game, not a bugfest thrown together in a few weeks."
Taleslinger asks (of nitku), "Will you upload these to the ifdb?"
Nitku says, "Yes, tomorrow"
Taleslinger says, "Yay. Thanks."
