Floyd | > ] Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | With a loud click, the door closes behind you. Finally! Floyd | Floyd | You are locked inside an antebellum Southern mansion, alone, wearing Floyd | only a chicken costume. Floyd | Floyd | You've fantasized about this moment for years.

Floyd ] Foyer 0:00 Exits: N S E W Floyd | [Please press any key to continue.] Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Sugarlawn Floyd | Or: A Fowl Forever Foraging, by Mike Spivey Floyd | Release 1 / Serial number 190918 / Inform 7 build 6M62 (I6/v6.33 lib Floyd | 6/12N) Floyd | Checksum DC76662C Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | "Welcome to Antique Escapes!" you hear from a hidden speaker Floyd | nearby. "I'm your host, Terri Boz. Our contestant for this episode Floyd | will be collecting valuables in Sugarlawn Plantation on the banks of Floyd | Bayou Lafourche in southern Louisiana. Floyd | Floyd | "To our contestant: Have fun! And good luck!" Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Foyer Floyd | This is the foyer of Sugarlawn Plantation. Most of the Floyd | nineteenth-century furniture and decorations have been removed, but Floyd | the gorgeous walnut floor and elaborate cornices testify to the Floyd | mansion's opulence. The front door of Sugarlawn is to the west. The Floyd | main hall on the ground floor continues east, while doorways lie to Floyd | the north and south. Floyd | Floyd | A large sack has been left by the front door. Floyd | Floyd | A mahogany box sits somewhat incongruously on the floor here. Floyd | Floyd | "Sugarlawn, as its name indicates, was one of the largest sugar cane Floyd | plantations of the antebellum South," you hear Terri say. "The Floyd | mansion was built in 1840, in the Greek Revival style. It fell into Floyd | decay in the decades after the Civil War, but it was purchased and Floyd | restored by Nash and Molly Pendry in the mid-1950s. The current owner Floyd | is their grandson. Floyd | Floyd | "We have made a few cosmetic changes to the mansion for the recording Floyd | of this episode, and we have temporarily removed many of the Floyd | furnishings as well. If you would like to see Sugarlawn at its Floyd | unaltered finest, the mansion and grounds are open for visitors from Floyd | 9-12 every Tuesday morning. Floyd | Floyd | "Oh, and before I forget: At any time the contestant may ask ABOUT the Floyd | rules for this episode." Floyd | Floyd | > | wordsmith says, "Sounds like the kind of intro that might result from a dare." | |

| DavidW says (to Floyd), "about" | ||
Floyd ] Foyer 0:00 Exits: N S E W Floyd | > Floyd | > ABOUT Floyd | Floyd | "We have hidden fifty valuables around the house and grounds of Floyd | Sugarlawn Plantation," says Terri. "Most of these will be easy to Floyd | find, but some may prove to be a bit more challenging. Floyd | Floyd | "You have thirty minutes to explore the plantation, collecting these Floyd | valuables. Your collected valuables will be sold at auction, and you Floyd | will receive prize money equal to their total sale price. The easiest Floyd | way to collect a valuable is to bring it to Sugarlawn's foyer. Floyd | Floyd | "In addition, each valuable has a specific target location - a room or Floyd | outdoor space - around the house and grounds. Leaving a valuable in Floyd | its target location will not only count as collecting that valuable, Floyd | it will also earn you a cash bonus. These cash bonuses will increase Floyd | as you place more objects in their target locations. You will not Floyd | explicitly be told the target locations; however, for each object its Floyd | target location will be somehow associated with that object. For Floyd | example, the target location for a Yemeni jambiya dagger might be an Floyd | armory. In addition, each time you come through the foyer I will tell Floyd | you how many valuables you have correctly placed so far. Note that Floyd | multiple objects may have the same target location. Floyd | Floyd | "There are two other major cash bonuses that may also be earned. As Floyd | always on Antique Escapes, one of these is for escaping the Floyd | mansion through the front door. The other is for you to discover. Floyd | Floyd | "We have provided a sack in the foyer for you to transport your Floyd | valuables. However, if you choose not to use the sack, cash bonuses Floyd | (but not the money earned at auction for collected valuables) will be Floyd | doubled. On the other hand, forgoing the sack means that you will be Floyd | limited in the number of items you are able to carry at any one time. Floyd | Floyd | "As a reminder, certain actions effectively take no time. These Floyd | include looking, examining, and taking inventory. Floyd | Floyd | "Finally, you may ask ABOUT these rules again at any time." Floyd | Floyd | [In addition... COMMANDS gives a list of some common commands in Floyd | parser-based interactive fiction. HINTS gives some general tips on Floyd | playing Sugarlawn. THINK provides a reminder of how you got Floyd | here. And CREDITS acknowledges those who helped make this game Floyd | happen.] Floyd | Floyd | > | Knight_Otu says, "So, Escape Room show." | |

| DavidW says (to Floyd), "score" | ||
Floyd ] Foyer 0:00 Exits: N S E W Floyd | > Floyd | > SCORE Floyd | Floyd | Your score is measured in the amount of cash you earn, which will be Floyd | tallied at the end of the episode. Floyd | Floyd | > | wordsmith says, "Heh, I am rusty with the ifmud commands." | |
| Knight_Otu says, "Since we're timed, we should elect a driver." | ||
| Knight_Otu says, "Not it." | ||
| wordsmith says, "Not it." | ||
| DavidW says, "Since we've never played before, I'm going to suggest taking the sack since I doubt we'd know how to max our score from our very first attempt anyway." | ||
| wordsmith says, "Sure, that's fine." | ||

| DavidW says (to Floyd), "x box" | ||
Floyd ] Foyer 0:15 Exits: N S E W Floyd | > Floyd | > X BOX Floyd | Floyd | This mahogany box - while attractive - looks too modern for a Floyd | nineteenth-century home. In the top of the box is a small, key-sized Floyd | hole. The front panel of the box reads, "Give a key; take a key." Floyd | Underneath is a display that says: Floyd | Storage Key Floyd | Pantry Key Floyd | South Wing Key Floyd | North Wing Key Floyd | Floyd | "The mahogany box is part of this episode," says Terri. "It works Floyd | just like it says: If you want a key from the box you'll need to Floyd | insert another key first." Floyd | Floyd | > | Knight_Otu says, "No objections to going north." | |

Floyd | Floyd | "The formal parlor is where guests would be received," says Terri. Floyd | "After dinner, the women might retreat here or to the small parlor, Floyd | while the men would usually gather in the library or billiard room.

"I bet you could do better than $8036; at least $10000 Floyd | wouldn't be too hard. Besides, we get higher ratings the more cash we Floyd | give away." As you look at her questioningly, she laughs. "Does it Floyd | bother you that I'm letting you try again? Don't tell me you believe Floyd | that reality TV is actually real!"

Six Silver Bullets, by Floyd | William Dooling, was also an inspiration in how it encourages players Floyd | to gather information that can be used in subsequent playthroughs. Floyd | Floyd | The mansion in Sugarlawn is closely modeled on Woodlawn Floyd | Plantation's mansion, which was also located in Napoleonville, Floyd | Louisiana. Woodlawn's mansion burned to the ground in 1962, but Floyd | detailed floor plans can easily be found online.

Floyd | > | DavidW says, "hey, Verdeterre *was* inspiration for this game." | |
| Knight_Otu says, "Indeed." | ||
| Knight_Otu says, "About two hours thirty. I'm not sure I have time for an optimized run." | ||
| DavidW says, "It wouldn't be optimized. It'd be more exploration. We never saw all the south wing, none of the north wing, found none of the voice codes, never got fully upstairs." | ||
| Knight_Otu says, "True." | ||
| Knight_Otu says, "Which only makes the time problem worse." | ||
| DavidW says, "so, yeah, I think we should stop here for now. I haven't eaten anything and I should probably get food." | ||
| Knight_Otu says, "You should do that, not just probably." | ||
| Iria says, "I played this one during the IF Comp. Rather interesting." | ||
| DavidW says, "I think I like this one better than Verdeterre, to be honest." | ||
| DavidW says, "Less destructive, at any rate, so far." | ||
| Knight_Otu says, "Not that we really tried to be destructive, but yeah, we probably can't be." | ||
| DavidW says, "Except with that radio in the hall of fragile china, maybe." | ||
| Knight_Otu says, "Heh." | ||
