#ClubFloyd Discussion
|
|
| Jacqueline says, "GOOD MORNING (Afternoon, evening, middle of the night...)" | ||
| Jacqueline exclaims, "Thanks, all, for a larger-than-usual ClubFloyd crowd, the 11th year we've gathered for New Year's Speed-IFs!" | ||
| MrPatient says, "Howdy" | ||
| Guenni waves to all and sundry. :-) | ||
| Taleslinger says, "Hi kids" | ||
| Jacqueline asks, "Just curious - are you all here because of the speeds, or because the speed event reminded you that ClubFloyd exists, or ... ?" | ||
| Knight_Otu exclaims, "Hi!" | ||
| Guenni says, "Or." | ||
| tinsel says, "Hi. I'm here for speedif." | ||
| Jacqueline says (to Guenni), "(or you're a regular, yeah)" | ||
| dhakajack exclaims, "A bit of both!" | ||
| Karona says, "Jacqueline, more the former, but if this happens once a week, I could see myself coming more often." | ||
| Jacqueline says, "It does happen once a week, generally. I need a PR/social media volunteer to let people know we exist." | ||
| Jacqueline exclaims, "Anyway!" | ||
| Jacqueline says, "We have six speeds." | ||
| DavidW says, "woot!" | ||
| Taleslinger says, "That we did" | ||
| Nitku says, "and reverse and park" | ||
| Jacqueline asks (of Tale), "Do you want to run this?" | ||
| Taleslinger says, "No, please, go ahead" | ||
| Knight_Otu exclaims, "Ludicrous speed ahead!" | ||
| Jacqueline says, "Doesn't matter to moi." | ||
| Jacqueline asks, "Do we have any speed authors here who are in a late time zone or who otherwise would really like to go first?" | ||
| Guenni says, "It's evening in Taleland." | ||
| MrPatient says, "I have no preference" | ||
| Taleslinger says, "I'll go last, as per custom" | ||
| Not a valid command. Try typing 'help'. | Guenni sighs. | |
| Jacqueline says, "Not to be confused with 'authors on speed who are just really really really really wanting to go first'..." | ||
| Taleslinger says, "he he" | ||
| Karona giggles. | ||
| Taleslinger says, "let's go with MrPatient first, then" | ||
| MrPatient says, "OK" | ||
| Jacqueline asks (of MP), "Which one is yours?" | ||
| MrPatient says, "This isn't so much 'speed' as it is 'half-assed'" | ||
| Jacqueline smiles. | ||
| MrPatient says, "Quickfire" | ||
| Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "load sleepmask quickfire" | ||
| Floyd says (to Jacqueline), "Floyd doesn't know that game." | Jacqueline says, "Oh, right" | |
| Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "load sleepmask nys11quickfire" | ||

Floyd | The sun has not even risen when the Elves rouse you from your rest.
Floyd | You've slept far too little since last night's bloodbath, but it's
Floyd | time once again for battle. You sharpen your blades and head to the
Floyd | arena. Only six combatants remain, including yourself. Great
Floyd | merciful Zeus, you are exhausted. But you're not giving up now, not
Floyd | with glory and treasure on the line.

Floyd | Not to mention that spread in Food & Wine.

| Guenni says, "If Floyd explodes we'll throw fluff balls at you until you bleed." | ||

Floyd ] Top Chef Kitchen Floyd | Floyd | Quickfire Floyd | An Interactive Amuse Bouche by Sean M. Shore Floyd | Release 1 / Serial number 180104 / Inform 7 build 6M62 (I6/v6.33 lib Floyd | 6/12N) Floyd | Floyd | Top Chef Kitchen Floyd | Top Chef Kitchen is the focal point of the show, your home away from Floyd | home. Well, technically, that would be the loft. This is your home Floyd | away from home away from home. It's where the majority of challenges Floyd | take place. When you first arrived, it was intimidating and awkward, Floyd | but now that you've been here awhile -- and with half the cheftestants Floyd | gone -- it's become reasonably comfortable. Floyd | Floyd | In the "center" of the room (pretending for the moment that there is a Floyd | fourth wall), there are a bunch of stations, each with some basic Floyd | utensils, and a sink. Along one wall is a gleaming row of GE Floyd | Monogram® ovens, scrubbed inside and out after every challenge to show Floyd | the sponsor in the best possible light. Above them, the massive Top Floyd | Chef logo looms. And as always, a bunch of Elves are here with their Floyd | gear, all artfully hidden from the viewers. The pantry is to the Floyd | west. Floyd | Floyd | [First time players should type ABOUT. Really, you should.] Floyd | Floyd | A bunch of equipment is lined up on a rack near the gas range and Floyd | grill: among many other things, there's some plates, a grater, a Floyd | cast-iron skillet, a Robot Coupe, a huge pressure cooker and a mixing Floyd | bowl. Floyd | Floyd | Justin, Andre, Linh, Stephen and Violet are here milling around. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| Guenni says (to floyd), "about" | ||
Floyd ] Top Chef Kitchen Floyd | > Floyd | > ABOUT Floyd | Floyd | Quickfire was written in the last two weeks of December 2017, Floyd | except for the opening text and description of Padma, which have been Floyd | sitting on my hard drive for three and a half years. Floyd | Floyd | Thanks to Graham Nelson, Emily Short, and Michael Callaghan for Inform Floyd | 7 and the extensions I've used, and to Brian Rushton and an anonymous Floyd | tester for testing and feedback. Thanks also to Bravo, Magical Elves, Floyd | Tom Colicchio and Padma Lakshmi for not suing me (please). This is a Floyd | work of fan fiction. "Top Chef," "Quickfire Challenge", and Floyd | "Restaurant Wars" are the intellectual property of Bravo and Magical Floyd | Elves, and I make no claim otherwise. Floyd | Floyd | The games uses a number of uncommon verbs like GRATE, DRAIN, FLIP and Floyd | PLATE. I hope they will be obvious in context. You can also make use Floyd | of WAIT FOR <X> SECONDS or MINUTES. This will come in particularly Floyd | handy while cooking. Please note that examining, looking, searching, Floyd | tasting, smelling and taking inventory are always free actions, so Floyd | feel free to poke around even while the timer is ticking down. Floyd | Floyd | I can be reached at mister_patient@yahoo.com. Thanks for playing. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| Guenni says (to floyd), "x me" | ||
Floyd ] Top Chef Kitchen Floyd | > Floyd | > X ME Floyd | Floyd | You haven't showered today, and your hair is kind of a mess, but the Floyd | Elves have done their best to make you look presentable for the Floyd | cameras. You're wearing your Top Chef whites over a Litchfield Floyd | Women's Correctional Facility T-shirt and a pair of jeans. Floyd | Floyd | > | MrPatient says, "oh, this is a slightly older version. There will be more bugs than expected" | |
| Taleslinger asks, "Hm, is this not the one you send me?" | ||
| Taleslinger asks, "The updated one?" | ||

Floyd ] Top Chef Kitchen Floyd | > Floyd | > I Floyd | Floyd | You are carrying: Floyd | a Top Chef whites (being worn) Floyd | a Litchfield Women's Correctional Facility T-shirt (being worn) Floyd | jeans (being worn) Floyd | some knives Floyd | Floyd | > | Jacqueline says (to MP), "I can swap out a newer copy if you'd like." | |
| MrPatient says, "nope. No big deal" | ||
| Jacqueline says, "Super easy to do..." | ||
| Guenni says (to floyd), "x knives" | ||
Floyd ] Top Chef Kitchen Floyd | > Floyd | > X KNIVES Floyd | Floyd | A punishingly expensive and well-honed set of Bob Kramers for various Floyd | applications, including a large chef's knife, a paring knife, a fillet Floyd | knife, a cleaver, a serrated bread knife, and a few others. At Floyd | Padma's request, you will pack them and go. [Note: You will Floyd | automatically choose appropriate knives for your kitchen tasks. No Floyd | need to worry about what's what.] Floyd | Floyd | > | MrPatient says, "sure, I guess" | |
| Taleslinger asks (of MrPatient), "Can you just send it to Jacq?" | ||
| Jacqueline says, "We're already on it through whispers." | ||
| Jacqueline says, "Folks can continue exploring, but we'll restart in a sec." | ||
| Guenni asks, "So a new start?" | ||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "x justin" | ||
Floyd ] Top Chef Kitchen Floyd | > Floyd | > X JUSTIN Floyd | Floyd | Justin is tall and faux-hawked, and has meticulously-maintained Floyd | three-day stubble every day of the week. He likes to remind people Floyd | that he staged at El Bulli. Floyd | Floyd | > | MrPatient says, "sending" | |
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "x andre" | ||
Floyd ] Top Chef Kitchen Floyd | > Floyd | > X ANDRE Floyd | Floyd | A fairly big dude from Houston; nominated for a James Beard last year. Floyd | He's a sweet guy, for the most part. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "x linh" | ||
Floyd ] Top Chef Kitchen Floyd | > Floyd | > X LINH Floyd | Floyd | A feisty little Vietnamese-American woman, executive chef at one of Floyd | Charlie Palmer's places. She's a real tough competitor, but usually Floyd | not a jerk. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "x stephen" | ||
Floyd ] Top Chef Kitchen Floyd | > Floyd | > X STEPHEN Floyd | Floyd | He's a small, quiet Midwesterner, self-taught, and works currently as Floyd | a private chef. While everyone else is drinking in the Stew Room, Floyd | he's always got a bottle of fizzy water. He's won a bunch of Floyd | challenges, which drives Justin insane. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "x violet" | ||
Floyd ] Top Chef Kitchen Floyd | > Floyd | > X VIOLET Floyd | Floyd | She's African-American too; well, quite a bit further removed Floyd | temporally from Africa than you are, and likely from the other side of Floyd | the continent, but still, by American reckoning, African. You can Floyd | tell she is going to be a fan favorite. Very pretty, very Floyd | quick-witted, and usually very good as well. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| Taleslinger says (to Floyd), "x me" | ||
Floyd ] Top Chef Kitchen Floyd | > Floyd | > X ME Floyd | Floyd | You haven't showered today, and your hair is kind of a mess, but the Floyd | Elves have done their best to make you look presentable for the Floyd | cameras.

| Guenni says (to floyd), "x stove" | ||
Floyd ] Top Chef Kitchen Floyd | > Floyd | > X STOVE Floyd | Floyd | The details are not that important. When you're ready, you can just Floyd | PUT SKILLET ON RANGE. Floyd | Floyd | > | Jacqueline says, "One moment, please." | |
| Guenni says (to floyd), "x counter" | ||
Floyd ] Top Chef Kitchen Floyd | > Floyd | > X COUNTER Floyd | Floyd | Each station has a counter with some electrical sockets for equipment Floyd | and sundry standard kitchen implements. Back at the start of the Floyd | season, every station was occupied, leading to elbow-to-elbow cooking, Floyd | territorial fights, ingredient theft, bickering, crashes, and other Floyd | reality-show goodness. Now there's a little room to spread out. The Floyd | rest still happens. Floyd | Floyd | On your station is a cutting board. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "quit" | ||
Floyd ] Top Chef Kitchen Floyd | > Floyd | > QUIT Floyd | Floyd | Are you sure you want to quit? | DavidW asks, "I don't know what Litchfield is. Is that from Orange Is The New Black?" | |
| Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "y" | ||
Floyd | Are you sure you want to quit?
Floyd | > Y
Floyd | cheapglulxe quit with exit status: 0

Floyd | Floyd | There is nothing on the cutting board. Floyd | Floyd | > | Taleslinger says, "Yeah, not sure what we're supposed to do" | |
| MrPatient says, "True, not yet. They're in the pantry" | ||
| Taleslinger says (to Floyd), "w" | ||
Floyd ] Top Chef Kitchen Floyd | > Floyd | > W Floyd | Floyd | Don't wander off just yet. Floyd | Floyd | One of the Elves, a production assistant, raises his voice. "OK, Floyd | everyone, we're starting. Cheftestants, please line up." The other Floyd | chefs dutifully begin to arrange themselves, with the assistance of Floyd | the Elves. Floyd | Floyd | A few minutes later, Padma and Tom arrive and chat with each other Floyd | inaudibly, over by the logo. Tom's wearing a Santa hat. The Elves Floyd | set them on their marks, then wheel out a table loaded down with tubs Floyd | of something. Fabulous. More product placement. Everyone Floyd | straightens up. "Quiet on the set!," shouts the director. The Floyd | cameramen take their places and begin rolling. Floyd | Floyd | "Action!" Floyd | Floyd | "Greetings, chefs," purrs Padma. She's considerably better-rested and Floyd | groomed than you lot. "It's Christmas!" Actually, it's June as Floyd | you're filming this, and about 90 degrees outside. "Behind me, as you Floyd | can see" -- she waves for effect -- "we have sour cream from Organic Floyd | Valley. Sour cream is extremely versatile and can be used in a wide Floyd | variety of last-minute sweet and savory dishes for a holiday party." Floyd | Floyd | Tom: "Your Quickfire challenge this week is to make us a delicious Floyd | dish for a holiday party incorporating Organic Valley sour cream." Floyd | The cameras come in for reaction shots from you and the others. You Floyd | can see the wheels turning in your fellow competitors. Floyd | Floyd | Padma, again: "You have twenty minutes. The winner of the Quickfire Floyd | will not get immunity, but will get a significant benefit in the next Floyd | Elimination Challenge." Floyd | Floyd | "Cut!", yells the director. "OK, everyone, stay on your marks. Let's Floyd | get some acknowledgments." Tom and Padma chat for a bit, while a pair Floyd | of Elves, one holding a camera, walk the line of cheftestants. They Floyd | approach, and make you repeat the terms of the challenge back to the Floyd | cameras for legal purposes. Reality show contestants can be rather Floyd | litigious, you know. Floyd | Floyd | "Samiira, do you fully understand the terms of the challenge?" Floyd | Floyd | Please enter Y or N (Yes or No) > | Knight_Otu says, "Somehow I always forget that a skillet is a pan." | |
| Roger says, "Sometimes they're more like griddles, I think" | ||

Floyd ] Top Chef Kitchen 20:00 Floyd | > Floyd | > W Floyd | Floyd | Don't wander off just yet. Floyd | Floyd | The director shouts, "Everyone, back on your marks!" Moments later, Floyd | they're set up and rolling again. Floyd | Floyd | Everyone tenses as they wait for Padma. "Your time starts" -- slight Floyd | pause -- "NOW!" Floyd | Floyd | OK! Well, there's probably a million baking options, but you don't Floyd | have anything other than kac kac or luqaimat Floyd | memorized. You don't have time to bake during a Quickfire anyway. Floyd | Think of something! What was the last thing you made with sour cream? Floyd | OK, yes -- a friend you worked with (now your ex-boyfriend's wife) Floyd | taught you to make latkes last year. That'll work. The timing will Floyd | be really tight, though you think you can finish, inshallah. Floyd | Floyd | So you're gonna need POTATOES and EGGS and ONIONS and MATZO MEAL and Floyd | OIL (or equivalent) and SALT. And then SOUR CREAM, obviously, and Floyd | something else on top. Maybe a BERRY of some kind? Or savory -- Floyd | wait, wasn't there some IKURA in the fridge yesterday? [You can type Floyd | RECIPE or R at any time to pull up the recipe.] Floyd | Floyd | The other cheftestants bolt off their marks to get their stuff. You Floyd | see Linh, Violet, and Justin dash to the pantry, and Andre and Stephen Floyd | heading over to the equipment. Floyd | Floyd | > | Jacqueline says, "This seems like an ambitious speed." | |
| MrPatient says, "Way too ambitious. This is the much-stripped-down version" | ||
| Jacqueline smiles. | ||
| Guenni says (to floyd), "w" | ||
Floyd ] Pantry 19:55 Floyd | > Floyd | > W Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Pantry Floyd | The Top Chef pantry is stocked, at least most days, with just about Floyd | anything you could want. Not always in huge quantities, though. Floyd | Having the cheftestants squabble over ingredients makes for good TV. Floyd | A giant GE Monogram® refrigerator occupies much of the north wall. Floyd | Next to it are shelves filled with various nonperishable goods. And Floyd | opposite them are baskets of produce. Floyd | Floyd | Here getting ingredients are Violet and Linh. Floyd | Floyd | The camera comes in for a close-up on you and what you're doing. You Floyd | manage a few words. Floyd | Floyd | You see Linh, already weighed down with armfuls of ingredients, Floyd | struggling to reach a jar of Moroccan olives on the shelves. She Floyd | turns to you for help. "Sam, hey, uh, can you?", she asks. There are Floyd | actually a couple up of jars there. Justin, meanwhile, peels around Floyd | the corner and starts lunging towards the baskets, with an Elf close Floyd | behind. "..blackberrry jus," he seems to be saying to no one in Floyd | particular. Floyd | Floyd | > | Jacqueline says, "There's irony in here somewhere." | |
| Roger says, "gotta grab a couple heaping handfuls of sour cream" | ||
| Jacqueline) MrPatient, this seems like an ambitious game to pull off in a Quickfire challenge! I mean, Speed IF! | ||
| Guenni says (to floyd), "take potatoes" | ||
Floyd ] Pantry 19:52 Floyd | > Floyd | > TAKE POTATOES Floyd | Floyd | You leave Linh hanging. "Thanks for nothing!" she says. She puts Floyd | some stuff down, jumps, and gets the jar herself. Floyd | Floyd | Taken. Floyd | Floyd | Stephen and Andre arrive and begin gathering ingredients. Floyd | Floyd | > | DavidW says, "New Year's Minicomp isn't really a speed anymore." | |
| Jacqueline says, "True" | ||
| Taleslinger says, "I always aim for a speed quality in my games" | ||
| Taleslinger says, "I wonder if checking the recipe will take time" | ||
| Jacqueline asks (of MP), "Is this sort of Cutthroat Kitchen?" | ||
| Jacqueline says (to Tale), "hee" | ||
| MrPatient says, "It won't" | ||
| Taleslinger says (to Floyd), "take eggs" | ||
Floyd ] Pantry 19:52 Floyd | > Floyd | > TAKE EGGS Floyd | Floyd | You can't see any such thing. Floyd | Floyd | > | Taleslinger asks, "So, I guess we try to get all the ingredients as quickly as possible?" | |

Floyd ] Pantry 19:42 Floyd | > Floyd | > GET OIL Floyd | Floyd | Taken. Floyd | Floyd | Justin elbows his way to the baskets and grabs the blackberries. Floyd | "Sorry," he claims. "I need them for a jus." He lurches off. Floyd | Floyd | > | dhakajack asks, "Would it be rude to GET ALL the ingredients?" | |
| Jacqueline says, "Pretty rude, but let's try." | ||
| DavidW says, "That's unlikely to work, and yes." | ||
| Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "get all" | ||
Floyd ] Pantry 19:42 Floyd | > Floyd | > GET ALL Floyd | Floyd | Please be specific. Floyd | Floyd | > | MrPatient exclaims, "Ha!" | |
| dhakajack says, "Just curious" | ||
| Knight_Otu says, "Besides, we've already been rude." | ||
| Jacqueline nods. | ||

You continue: "It's Floyd | just a classic potato latke, with sour cream." Floyd | Floyd | Padma digs in. Tom picks at the latkes. "Did you forget to flip Floyd | them?", he asks. "Looks like you got one side, but not the other." Floyd | Padma asks, "What did you fry this in?" "Vegetable oil," you reply. Floyd | She and Tom are inscrutable. "Thanks," she says. Floyd | Floyd | The Elves guide Padma and Tom back to their marks, and the cameras Floyd | begin rolling again. "So, Tom, who had our least-favorite dishes?" Floyd | Tom points. "Justin," he says. "The individual components were all Floyd | cooked well, but it just didn't make sense to me. I'm not sure why Floyd | you would pair the bison with Mentos." Floyd | Floyd | He then turns to you. "Samiira." Wase. "My wife does Floyd | latkes every year at Hanukkah, and these just weren't up to snuff." Floyd | Awesome. You stop listening to the rest. Hey, Violet actually won. Floyd | Good for her. After everyone settles down, Padma begins again. "And Floyd | now for this week's Elimination Challenge: it's what you've all been Floyd | waiting for." She winds and delivers: "Restaurant Wars!" Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | *** You just hope you don't get stuck with Front of the Floyd | House *** Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Would you like to RESTART, RESTORE a saved game, QUIT or UNDO the last Floyd | command? Floyd | > | Roger says, "woo" | |
| Roger says, "wase upppppppp" | ||
| dhakajack says, "Violet also won IFcomp 2008. She's always winning things." | ||
| Guenni asks, "again? Or another game?" | ||
| DavidW says, "Might wait for Jacqueline to return." | ||
| Guenni nods. | ||
| Roger says, "I think another run is warranted" | ||
| MrPatient says, "'Wase' is some almost certainly mistranslated Somali" | ||
| dhakajack says, "Sounds like we should have used duck fat after all" | ||
| dhakajack says, "(and flipped)" | ||
| Taleslinger says, "Where there is a will, there is a wase" | ||
| Nitku asks, "I need to leave soon, so maybe I could shill my game which doesn't have a Floyd version?" | ||
| Roger says, "So I guess priorities are to get the berries, get the fat or oil or whatnot, get the pan up to temp, get the grater thingy, etc" | ||
| Roger says, "sure Nitku lay it on us" | ||
| Jacqueline says, "I'm here" | ||
| DavidW says (to Nitku), "sure" | ||
| Taleslinger says, "shill away!" | ||
| Jacqueline asks, "And yes, another run. Maybe with DW's idea of alternate fat for frying?" | ||
| Taleslinger says, "maybe someone should drive this run" | ||
| Jacqueline says, "I am not keen to drive, but am very much here." | ||
| Ellison asks, "ah cool is this texture or something else?" | ||
| Guenni lifts head. I could drive if no one protests. | ||
| Knight_Otu is not protesting. | ||
| Taleslinger says, "First let's hear nitku's sales pitch" | ||
| Guenni says, "Oh, Sorry." | ||
| Nitku says, "So, Ex Materia is a spiritual successor to Ex Nihilo few years back. You can play it online at [LINK] and it's less than 5 minutes per playthough." | ||
| Nitku says, "It's a custom engine." | ||
| Nitku says, "*playthrough" | ||
| DavidW says, "thanks" | ||
| DavidW says, "Neat how you have the letters in the title flicker." | ||
| Taleslinger says, "Yeah, it's a good one" | ||
| Nitku says, "I was planning to make an Inform version but the visuals are kind of part of the thing" | ||
| MrPatient says, "playing it now" | ||
| dhakajack exclaims, "Nice effect!" | ||
| dhakajack says, "For fun, I tried the term "Unit 322"" | ||
| dhakajack asks, "Over time, will it "learn" from the search requests?" | ||
| Nitku says, "It'll just start suggesting successful queries to future players. It just does a Wikipedia search." | ||
| Ellison goes back to Squeamhurst.. | ||
| Ellison has disconnected. | Jacqueline says, "This is really intriguing, Nitku." | |
| DavidW says, "It's improved my resolve to be better at JavaScript tricks." | ||
| Nitku exclaims, "Thanks!" | ||
| Jacqueline says, "It would be cool if you could go back to the game from About." | ||
| Jacqueline says, "Maybe you can and I'm just missing it. Of course, I could use the browser's back, but." | ||
| Nitku says, "Right, it expects you to use the browser's back button. I could add a link there though." | ||
| Taleslinger asks, "So, let Guenni drive us?" | ||
| Jacqueline says, "Sounds like a plan." | ||
| Guenni says (to floyd), "restart" | ||

Floyd | You've slept far too little since last night's bloodbath, but it's

Floyd ] Top Chef Kitchen Floyd | Floyd | Quickfire Floyd | An Interactive Amuse Bouche by Sean M. Shore Floyd | Release 1 / Serial number 180106 / Inform 7 build 6M62 (I6/v6.33 lib Floyd | 6/12N) Floyd | Floyd | Top Chef Kitchen Floyd | Top Chef Kitchen is the focal point of the show, your home away from Floyd | home. Well, technically, that would be the loft. This is your home Floyd | away from home away from home. It's where the majority of challenges Floyd | take place. When you first arrived, it was intimidating and awkward, Floyd | but now that you've been here awhile -- and with half the cheftestants Floyd | gone -- it's become reasonably comfortable. Floyd | Floyd | In the "center" of the room (pretending for the moment that there is a Floyd | fourth wall), there are a bunch of stations, each with some basic Floyd | utensils, and a sink. Along one wall is a gleaming row of GE Floyd | Monogram® ovens, scrubbed inside and out after every challenge to show Floyd | the sponsor in the best possible light. Above them, the massive Top Floyd | Chef logo looms. And as always, a bunch of Elves are here with their Floyd | gear, all artfully hidden from the viewers. The pantry is to the Floyd | west. Floyd | Floyd | [First time players should type ABOUT. Really, you should.] Floyd | Floyd | A bunch of equipment is lined up on a rack near the gas range and Floyd | grill: among many other things, there's some plates, a grater, a Floyd | cast-iron skillet, a Robot Coupe, a huge pressure cooker and a mixing Floyd | bowl. Floyd | Floyd | Justin, Andre, Linh, Stephen and Violet are here milling around. Floyd | Floyd | > | Taleslinger says, "Maybe we should think about playing if just one person can't make it. But I'm sort of against it." | |

Floyd ] Top Chef Kitchen Floyd | > Floyd | > PUSH COOKER Floyd | Floyd | You shift the huge pressure cooker, and find a Robot Coupe grating Floyd | attachment underneath. The attachment is now sitting on the equipment Floyd | rack. Floyd | Floyd | One of the Elves, a production assistant, raises his voice. "OK, Floyd | everyone, we're starting. Cheftestants, please line up." The other Floyd | chefs dutifully begin to arrange themselves, with the assistance of Floyd | the Elves. Floyd | Floyd | A few minutes later, Padma and Tom arrive and chat with each other Floyd | inaudibly, over by the logo. Tom's wearing a Santa hat. The Elves Floyd | set them on their marks, then wheel out a table loaded down with tubs Floyd | of something. Fabulous. More product placement. Everyone Floyd | straightens up. "Quiet on the set!," shouts the director. The Floyd | cameramen take their places and begin rolling. Floyd | Floyd | "Action!" Floyd | Floyd | "Greetings, chefs," purrs Padma. She's considerably better-rested and Floyd | groomed than you lot. "It's Christmas!" Actually, it's June as Floyd | you're filming this, and about 90 degrees outside. "Behind me, as you Floyd | can see" -- she waves for effect -- "we have sour cream from Organic Floyd | Valley. Sour cream is extremely versatile and can be used in a wide Floyd | variety of last-minute sweet and savory dishes for a holiday party." Floyd | Floyd | Tom: "Your Quickfire challenge this week is to make us a delicious Floyd | dish for a holiday party incorporating Organic Valley sour cream." Floyd | The cameras come in for reaction shots from you and the others. You Floyd | can see the wheels turning in your fellow competitors. Floyd | Floyd | Padma, again: "You have twenty minutes. The winner of the Quickfire Floyd | will not get immunity, but will get a significant benefit in the next Floyd | Elimination Challenge." Floyd | Floyd | "Cut!", yells the director. "OK, everyone, stay on your marks. Let's Floyd | get some acknowledgments." Tom and Padma chat for a bit, while a pair Floyd | of Elves, one holding a camera, walk the line of cheftestants. They Floyd | approach, and make you repeat the terms of the challenge back to the Floyd | cameras for legal purposes. Reality show contestants can be rather Floyd | litigious, you know. Floyd | Floyd | "Samiira, do you fully understand the terms of the challenge?" Floyd | Floyd | Please enter Y or N (Yes or No) > | ||
| Guenni says (to floyd), "y" | ||
Floyd ] Top Chef Kitchen 19:30 Floyd | Please enter Y or N (Yes or No) > Floyd | > Y Floyd | Floyd | "Thank you, Samiira." They move on down the line until all the Floyd | cheftestants have given their assent. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||

Floyd ] Top Chef Kitchen 19:30 Floyd | > Floyd | > Z Floyd | Floyd | Time passes. Floyd | Floyd | The director shouts, "Everyone, back on your marks!" Moments later, Floyd | they're set up and rolling again. Floyd | Floyd | Everyone tenses as they wait for Padma. "Your time starts" -- slight Floyd | pause -- "NOW!" Floyd | Floyd | OK! Well, there's probably a million baking options, but you don't Floyd | have anything other than kac kac or luqaimat Floyd | memorized. You don't have time to bake during a Quickfire anyway. Floyd | Think of something! What was the last thing you made with sour cream? Floyd | OK, yes -- a friend you worked with (now your ex-boyfriend's wife) Floyd | taught you to make latkes last year. That'll work. The timing will Floyd | be really tight, though you think you can finish, inshallah. Floyd | Floyd | So you're gonna need POTATOES and EGGS and ONIONS and MATZO MEAL and Floyd | OIL (or equivalent) and SALT. And then SOUR CREAM, obviously, and Floyd | something else on top. Maybe a BERRY of some kind? Or savory -- Floyd | wait, wasn't there some IKURA in the fridge yesterday? [You can type Floyd | RECIPE or R at any time to pull up the recipe.] Floyd | Floyd | The other cheftestants bolt off their marks to get their stuff. You Floyd | see Linh, Violet, and Justin dash to the pantry, and Andre and Stephen Floyd | heading over to the equipment. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||

Floyd ] Pantry 19:25 Floyd | > Floyd | > W Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Pantry Floyd | The Top Chef pantry is stocked, at least most days, with just about Floyd | anything you could want. Not always in huge quantities, though. Floyd | Having the cheftestants squabble over ingredients makes for good TV. Floyd | A giant GE Monogram® refrigerator occupies much of the north wall. Floyd | Next to it are shelves filled with various nonperishable goods. And Floyd | opposite them are baskets of produce. Floyd | Floyd | Here getting ingredients are Violet and Linh. Floyd | Floyd | Justin is making a show of his butchering technique. Floyd | Floyd | You see Linh, already weighed down with armfuls of ingredients, Floyd | struggling to reach a jar of Moroccan olives on the shelves. She Floyd | turns to you for help. "Sam, hey, uh, can you?", she asks. There are Floyd | actually a couple up of jars there. Justin, meanwhile, peels around Floyd | the corner and starts lunging towards the baskets, with an Elf close Floyd | behind. "..blackberrry jus," he seems to be saying to no one in Floyd | particular. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||

| Guenni says (to floyd), "get intact jar" | ||
Floyd ] Pantry 19:15 Floyd | > Floyd | > GET INTACT JAR Floyd | Floyd | You reach up and grab the nicer of the two jars and hand it to Linh. Floyd | She's always been pretty decent to you, except that one time during Floyd | the mise en place relay race when you overheard her whispering smack Floyd | to Brian about your suprèming technique. Linh nearly drops the jar Floyd | but recovers and heads to her station. Floyd | Floyd | Stephen and Andre arrive and begin gathering ingredients. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||

Floyd ] Pantry 19:15 Floyd | > Floyd | > X SHELVES Floyd | Floyd | Plain but attractive shelves filled, for the most part, with Floyd | medium-sized dry goods.

An Elf comes by with a cart and carefully Floyd | gathers up the beauty plates to be photographed off-set. Another Elf Floyd | straightens up the tasting plates and gets everyone, including Tom and Floyd | Padma, lined up after a few seconds. You're the last in line. Floyd | Floyd | "Action!" Floyd | Floyd | "Hi, Linh," says Padma, heading to the first cheftestant. "What did Floyd | you make for us today?" Padma and Tom taste everyone's dishes and Floyd | chitchat with the chefs for a bit until finally they get to you. Floyd | Floyd | "You made latkes!" says Tom, with some amusement. "Yeah, I'm not much Floyd | of a Christmas person," you reply. "I have to say, you don't look Floyd | like a Hanukkah person, either." He chuckles. You continue: "It's Floyd | just a classic potato latke, with sour cream." Floyd | Floyd | Padma digs in. Tom takes a bite. "Did you taste these?", he asks. Floyd | "They're underseasoned. They need more salt." Padma asks, "What did Floyd | you fry this in?" "Duck fat," you reply. "I can tell," she says. Floyd | "Thanks." Floyd | Floyd | The Elves guide Padma and Tom back to their marks, and the cameras Floyd | begin rolling again. "So, Tom, who had our least-favorite dishes?" Floyd | Tom points. "Justin," he says. "The individual components were all Floyd | cooked well, but it just didn't make sense to me. I'm not sure why Floyd | you would pair the bison with Mentos." He then turns to Stephen. Floyd | "Steve. The lamb was just overcooked." Floyd | Floyd | "And who were our favorites?," Padma asks. "Violet," he says. "You Floyd | really got an amazing amount of flavor from that chicken in such a Floyd | short time, and the sour cream was a nice contrast with the spice. Floyd | And... Andre. The deconstructed potato skin was a pretty clever Floyd | idea." Floyd | Floyd | Oh well. At least you weren't on the bottom. Oh hey, Violet wins. Floyd | Good for her. After everyone settles down, Padma begins again. "And Floyd | now for this week's Elimination Challenge: it's what you've all been Floyd | waiting for." She winds and delivers: "Restaurant Wars!"

"By damaging the throne, you have allowed a creature Floyd | more powerful and destructive than me access to our world, and it is Floyd | on its way already."
