ClubFloyd Transcript:
Diddlebucker! by J Michael
As played on ifMUD on November & December 2018

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 Diddlebucker! written by J Michael. This game placed 30th in the 2018 Interactive Fiction Competition. 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.

Knight_Otu says, "We have to find a treasure and a clue card in each sector. We found a button in the first section, and the clue card led us to the River Walk section."
Knight_Otu says, "I may be off regarding the year."
DavidW says, "I think the game may be in the 1990s, but I forget exactly when. It says near the beginning what year it is."
DavidW says, "I think the author very likely wanted their Americana game to avoid political commentary from the current day."
Knight_Otu says, "In River Walk, we set off a firework, got the clue card leading to the amusement park, where, after some "amusement" we got the necessary item to get the balloon treasure from section two, as well as the third clue card, and a swim suit, which appears to be the treasure for the park."
Knight_Otu says (to DavidW), "That is an understandable reason."
DavidW says, "mmhm"
DavidW says, "So you have 3 riddle cards and 3 'treasures'."
DavidW says, "You haven't solved the 3rd card's riddle yet."

Floyd | begins untying your bonds. "I'll need to put these ropes back on you
Floyd | before Lori gets back," he says. He stuffs the ropes into a pocket.
Floyd | "Ok, listen carefully," he says. "We don't have a lot of time. Here's
Floyd | the deal. After you asked Lori and me to join your Diddlebucker team,
Floyd | she started thinking and she came to the conclusion that it would be
Floyd | better to split the winnings two ways instead of three. She, and I'm
Floyd | sorry to say this, but she didn't think you'd really be much help. She
Floyd | always thought of herself as the brains of our little group. Anyway,
Floyd | this morning she told me that you had called her and said you were
Floyd | sick and wouldn't be able to play. She said you had asked her to be
Floyd | the new team captain. I didn't know anything about the letter until we
Floyd | got to the Convention Center and we saw you throwing our shirts away.
Floyd | You should have seen her searching through the garbage for them! She
Floyd | was furious! She had to tell me the whole story then. See, she was
Floyd | convinced you'd give up and go home when you got that letter and that
Floyd | we'd be able to play the Diddlebucker ourselves and split the money.
Floyd | But, to be honest, I don't think she ever intended to split the money
Floyd | with me either." He holds the gun up. "The gun she gave me has
Floyd | blanks," he says. "I checked it out when she wasn't looking. She
Floyd | certainly was prepared, I'll give her that. And I'm pretty sure hers
Floyd | doesn't have blanks..."

Floyd | keep an eye on her and try to protect you if things got out of hand,
Floyd | which they obviously did. We were stuck trailing after you and trying
Floyd | not to be seen. But that changed when we got to American Dreamland.
Floyd | Lori used to work here in high school, remember? She knows
Floyd | all about the secret tunnels under this place and how to get to the
Floyd | "employees only" sections of the park. After we followed you here, she
Floyd | led us into one of the tunnels so we could plan our next move. But
Floyd | when we got there, we heard voices. Just around the corner in the
Floyd | tunnel a couple of Diddlebucker reps were talking and we were able to
Floyd | figure out that this ride held the last clue. We snuck on using the
Floyd | service entrance, found the clue card and then hid behind one of the
Floyd | coffins waiting for you to show up..."

Floyd | not fair, but you're going to have to solve the riddle for her, even
Floyd | if that means letting her win. We don't have time for me to sneak you
Floyd | out of here while she's still on the ride. If you give her the answer,
Floyd | she'll have to keep you alive long enough to check it out to make sure
Floyd | you were right. My guess is she'll ask me to watch you while she goes
Floyd | off to win the money, with some kind of promise that she'll split it
Floyd | with me when she returns. That will give us time to get out of here. I
Floyd | don't think she suspects me of wanting to double-cross her. We can go

Floyd | three states. You used to love coming here as a kid and you still try
Floyd | to make it at least once a year. Normally the park would be closing
Floyd | now, but normal rules don't apply during Diddlebucker weekend. Dozens
Floyd | of groups of people are filing past you and through the entrance to
Floyd | the north. A sign hanging above one of the turnstiles says "Gamers
Floyd | enter here!" You notice nobody going in through that line.

Floyd |
Floyd | You wait for the taxi. After several moments, you see one coming down
Floyd | the street.
Floyd |
Floyd | You whistle sharply and the taxicab pulls to the curb. You open the
Floyd | door and climb inside...
Floyd |
Floyd | In The Taxicab
Floyd | This is an older vehicle, but it's surprisingly clean. The pine tree
Floyd | air freshener is a nice touch. The cab driver sits in the front seat.
Floyd | You notice an instruction placard and an ID card affixed to the
Floyd | dashboard.
Floyd |
Floyd | "Welcome back, Gamer!" the driver says jovially.

Floyd | "Ok, here we go." The cabbie starts the meter and pulls into traffic.
Floyd | He expertly drives you through the city for several minutes before

Floyd | tip) by check and exit the cab. "Good luck, Gamer!" the cabbie calls
Floyd | to you through the window before pulling away.

Floyd | The Ashley Donaldson Hotel (Outside)
Floyd | The Ashley Donaldson Hotel is on the south side of the sidewalk. Its
Floyd | steel and glass towers are a stunning example of postmodern
Floyd | architecture. Over forty stories tall, it is the largest hotel in the
Floyd | city. A revolving restaurant at the top of the tallest tower provides
Floyd | patrons with a breathtaking view of the cityscape.

Floyd | The Ashley Donaldson Hotel (Lobby)
Floyd | You have always dreamed of staying in the Ashley Donaldson someday.
Floyd | The stories of its elegance and splendor are legendary. If the lobby
Floyd | is any indication, the stories were underselling the reality. The
Floyd | chandeliers! The ornate wood trim! The sparkling fountains! The
Floyd | impeccably uniformed workers! You could spend the rest of the day just
Floyd | taking in the grandeur of the lobby, but there isn't time. You have to
Floyd | keep moving. You notice an elevator to the south.

Floyd | "CONGRATULATIONS!!!!" You are suddenly surrounded by hundreds of
Floyd | Diddlebucker employees, celebrities, reporters and other well-wishers
Floyd | all shouting, applauding and cheering like crazy. Balloons and
Floyd | confetti rain down from the ceiling and somewhere a band is playing
Floyd | The Stars and Stripes Forever. You are herded to the center
Floyd | of the crowd where a stage has been erected. On the stage, Diddy
Floyd | Esposito awaits with a giant check made out to you in the amount of
Floyd | one million dollars! The crowd goes crazy as you accept the check and
Floyd | Diddy shakes your hand...

Floyd | (PRESS ANY KEY TO CONTINUE)Hours later, all of the interviews with the
Floyd | local and nationwide newscasters are finally over. You've given your
Floyd | report to the police and Lori is safely behind bars. The crowd has
Floyd | mostly dispersed and you finally have a moment to catch your breath.
Floyd | Diddy agreed that David deserved to win as much as you did and the
Floyd | three of you are sitting in a quiet corner of the restaurant
Floyd | discussing the night's events and your futures.
Floyd |
Floyd | "You know," Diddy says, "as great as the money and the lifetime supply
Floyd | of popcorn are, they aren't really the best part of being Diddlebucker
Floyd | Champions." You and David look at each other. This certainly piques
Floyd | your interest. What could be better than winning a fortune plus a
Floyd | lifetime supply of popcorn? "Come with me," Diddy says. "I want to
Floyd | introduce you two to some friends of mine."
Floyd |
Floyd | You follow Diddy through a door into the kitchen area. Standing there
Floyd | are all of the people you met tonight during the Diddlebucker! Cindy
Floyd | is here, along with the shabbily dressed man from the rooftop, Kirk,
Floyd | Cecil who sold you the Atom Smasher, the mime, the saxophone player,
Floyd | the barker and even Tony the taxi driver along with dozens of other
Floyd | people that seem vaguely familiar. You turn to Diddy "I don't
Floyd | understand," you admit. "What is all this?"
Floyd |
Floyd | "Well, you see," Diddy says, "I only accept the best and brightest
Floyd | into my team of Game Makers. So, I figure, who better to make and run
Floyd | the Diddlebucker Run than the former Diddlebucker Champions
Floyd | themselves? It takes a lot of prep and a lot of brains to put one of
Floyd | these together, you know. You are now part of an elite group. A very
Floyd | highly paid elite group, I should say. Planning for next
Floyd | year's Diddlebucker Run starts next week at my beachside mansion if
Floyd | you two are willing to join us. What do you say?"

DavidW says, "Congrats!"
Knight_Otu exclaims, "I knew these guys were employees!"
DavidW says, "heh heh. Of course!"
Knight_Otu exclaims, "And WOO!"
Knight_Otu says, "Okay, I didn't suspect the driver, though I should have."
DavidW says, "I suppose the only named people who weren't employees were Stan and Steve."
Knight_Otu asks, "So what was the right reasoning for this hotel being the correct one?"
Knight_Otu says, "Seems like it."
DavidW says, "Ashley is a girl's name. And she's also a son because she's a donald-SON."
Knight_Otu says, "I mean, yeah."
DavidW says, "I'm not sure what happens if you send Lori to the correct hotel with the actual treasures. I never played that scenario out."
Knight_Otu says, "Well, we probably can't get past the guard in that scenario, she comes out of the elevator, and grins evilly."
DavidW says, "Except David is off calling the police."
Knight_Otu says, "And maybe not shoot us in front of all the witnesses."
Knight_Otu says, "I mean, it's possible she gets there before the news filters through."
Knight_Otu says, "She might not enjoy her il-gotten gains for long, but she might feel as a winner for a bit."
DavidW says, "By the way, if you try to tell the taxi driver to take you to a location you haven't learned about in the game yet, he instead goes on break and drops you off where you got in."
Knight_Otu says, "Heh."
DavidW asks, "Congrats, again. Are we done for today?"
Knight_Otu says, "I think so, unless there a microgame lying around."
DavidW says, "Not that I know of."
Knight_Otu says, "Yeah, I think it's a good time to call it."
