ClubFloyd Transcript:
The Wand by Arthur DiBianca
As played on ifMUD on October 22, 2017

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 Wand written by Arthur DiBianca. The Wand was an entry in the 2017 Interactive Fiction Competition, in which it took 11th place. You can learn more about the game, including how to download it, by visiting IFDB.


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 asks, "How many have already played The Wand?"
Jacqueline asks, "Anyone?"
DavidW says, "Not me."
Knight_Otu says, "Not me."
Knight_Otu arrives, ready to play with the toys. Teaspoon says, "I havne't."
Guenni says, "me neither."
Jacqueline exclaims, "That's the nice bit about there being so many freakin' games this year!"
Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "load sleepmask wand"

Floyd |
Floyd | The thing is, I'm not sure whether you have been there before. Maybe
Floyd | you have....

Teaspoon asks, "south?"
Knight_Otu asks, "Isn't that away from the challenge?"
Teaspoon says, "that's why we do it first to get it out of the way"
Jacqueline says, "And then be told we couldn't possibly want to go that way. Sure."

Floyd |
Floyd | You take the wand from the display case. A moment later, you are

Floyd |

DavidW says, "I'm totally guessing, of course."
Jacqueline says, "Damn. I hate when we settle in to play a game and I'm struck by an idea that I want to explore in crafting a new piece of IF. Terrible timing."
Teaspoon says, "we could undo that."
Guenni says (to floyd), "x statue"

Teaspoon says, "oh joy"
Teaspoon says (to Floyd), "z"
Floyd ]
Floyd | >
Floyd | > Z
Floyd |
Floyd | Time passes.
Floyd |
Floyd | The statue continues, "If you look closely, you'll see that the wand's

DavidW asks, "Is it cursed? Is it a cursed wand?"
Teaspoon says, "a cutscene"
Teaspoon says (to Floyd), "z"

Floyd |
Floyd | Time passes.

Floyd |

Teaspoon says (to Floyd), "z"
Floyd ]
Floyd | >
Floyd | > Z
Floyd |
Floyd | Time passes.
Floyd |
Floyd | The statue continues, "Some color combinations will give the wand
Floyd | other interesting and useful powers. Most combinations won't do

Teaspoon says, "..."
DavidW says, "I bet ROTATE isn't a valid command."
Guenni says (to floyd), "x shaft"
Floyd ]
Floyd | >
Floyd | > X SHAFT
Floyd |
Floyd | The wand is about a foot long with a carved wooden handle, a colored
Floyd | shaft (set to red-green-blue), and a crystal star on the end.
Floyd |
Floyd | The statue continues, "For example, red-white-brown is a very useful
Floyd | setting. It can open things that are closed."
Floyd |
Floyd | >
Teaspoon says (to Floyd), "x star"
Floyd ]
Floyd | >
Floyd | > X STAR
Floyd |
Floyd | It's a traditional five-pointed crystal star.
Floyd |
Floyd | The statue continues, "You'll need that power, because you MUST NOT
Floyd | TOUCH anything in the castle. Maybe you discovered that already.
Floyd | Everything is strongly warded against vandals and thieves. (I do
Floyd | apologize for the implication.)"
Floyd |

Guenni says (to floyd), "set colors"
Floyd ]
Floyd | >
Floyd | > SET COLORS
Floyd |
Floyd | I didn't understand that SET command. (Type WAND for help.)

Floyd | for you!"

Guenni says (to floyd), "wand"
Floyd ]
Floyd | >
Floyd | > WAND
Floyd |
Floyd | You can SET a sequence of three colors on the wand like this: SET RED
Floyd | GREEN BLUE.
Floyd |
Floyd | To save typing, you can abbreviate using one letter for each color
Floyd | like this: SET RGB. To make it even shorter, you can just type the
Floyd | three letters: RGB.
Floyd |
Floyd | There are ten colors. In reverse alphabetical order they are yellow
Floyd | (Y), white (W), red (R), purple (P), orange (O), green (G), gray (A),
Floyd | brown (N), blue (B), and black (K). (Note that gray, brown, and black
Floyd | do not go by their first letter.)

Teaspoon says, "I have lost interst in this prize already."
DavidW asks, "wait, how did you know that WAND was a verb?"
Jacqueline says (to Tsp), "heh"
Guenni points slightly upwards.
Teaspoon says, "good guess."
Jacqueline | I didn't understand that SET command. (Type WAND for help.)
Guenni says, "It said to type wand for help."
DavidW says, "I do have difficulties following sometimes."
DavidW says, "I play much slower normally."

Floyd |
Floyd | You set the wand to red-white-blue.

Floyd | Reception Room
Floyd | This cheery room must have been used for the reception of guests. It
Floyd | is furnished with a sofa, several chairs, an end table, and a tall
Floyd | cabinet. A framed portrait hangs on one wall. To the north is a barred
Floyd | door. You can also go south.
Floyd |
Floyd | (Since you aren't supposed to touch anything, I'm going to turn off
Floyd | the USE command. I don't want you to get hurt.)

DavidW says, "I don't know. maybe. I think it only works on living things, like kimpert and me and dragon."
DavidW asks, "Or is that just the teleport that works that way?"
Guenni says, "We could levitate the rock for 3 and than reduce the kimpert."
DavidW says, "The rock won't stay levitated forever."
Guenni asks, "But perhaps for one move?"
DavidW says, "But I'll try it"
Knight_Otu says, "levitate rock, weight reduce kimpert, set wand to douse, douse charcoal, levitate rock, set wand to fire, ignite charcoal."
Knight_Otu says, "That's my preliminary guess"
DavidW says, "The trouble is I've got notes on two sides of the same page."

DavidW says, "I wonder how many castles this wizard has."
Guenni says, "It took a bit to get used too, and a cheat sheet. But I didn' think it was a bad game."
Knight_Otu says, "I suppose a faster finish would give a better prize."
DavidW says, "Maybe. I dunno."
Jacqueline says (to KO), "Hm, yeah, possibly."
Teaspoon says, "that would make sense"
Guenni agrees.
Jacqueline says, "I'm glad I was an observer, not the player. I don't think I could have stuck with this one. Watching the puzzle people is okay, though."
DavidW says, "heh 'the puzzle people'"
Guenni asks, "Do we get a headband?"
Guenni has had her fill of playing for now, and goes back to the Lounge. Knight_Otu says, "Anyway, it's a nice game, but it feels frustrating having to keep changing the wand."
DavidW says, "I'm glad I played, at least. It was an interesting mechanic, but I would've at least allowed commands of the form 'open [something]' or 'burn [something]' once I knew the right combos."
Knight_Otu says, "Though it is necessary for the timing of puzzles."
DavidW says, "Even 'bap this' and 'yoo that' should work."
Knight_Otu says, "Yeah."
DavidW asks, "I noticed that I couldn't put two command in one line. Is that a thing that Inform no longer supports?"
Jacqueline says, "I don't think so."
Knight_Otu says, "Not to my knowledge."
Jacqueline says, "Not sure what's up there."
Teaspoon asks, "is it floyd?"
Jacqueline says, "No, Floyd generally can handle multiple actions in a single line."
DavidW says, "hm. Just remembered that we never heard the 1st half of the lady's speech. I suppose we didn't need it."
Knight_Otu says, "Yeah, since the timing never worked out."
Knight_Otu says, "I suspect it's a red herring."
DavidW says, "We did nothing with the hole in the Reception Room either."
Guenni says, "We also didn't get tob open the dungeon door, or figured out what was in/behind the hole."
Guenni says, "to"
DavidW says, "Possibly the dungeon door never opens? It does have HA on it."
Knight_Otu says, "Right. I was idly wondering if we could close the library door."
Knight_Otu says, "Except we have no closing spell."

Knight_Otu says, "I guess that makes the "whether you have been there before" bit make sense."
DavidW says, "There might be secret wand combos too that just do silly and unhelpful things."
Knight_Otu says, "There's thousand combos though. I'd rather not slog through all of them."
