ClubFloyd Transcript:
Tours Roust Torus [Beta] by Andrew Schultz
As played on ifMUD on March 20, 2022

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 a beta test of Tours Roust Torus written by Andrew Schultz. Tours Roust Torus was released as part of the 2022 Spring Thing. 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, "So, are we holding for the pending arrival of Mr. Shultz?"
Roger says, "word is that he's on his way"
Jacqueline says (to Roger), "cool"
Jade asks, "what are we going to play?"
DavidW says, "We are beta-testing Tours Roust Torus by Andrew Schultz, a game intended for the Back Garden of Spring Thing 2022."
DavidW says, "And one that will almost certainly revolve around anagrams."
Jade says, "thank you"
Jacqueline says (to DW), "Heh. Now why would you say that? (Kidding...)"
Jade says, "not the only game this year"
DavidW says, "I am familiar with this author's other games."
ASchultz says, "testing"
DavidW starts fangirling.
Jade says, "hello ASchultz"
MoyTravis exclaims, "'allo!"
Jade says, "hello Andrew"
Jacqueline says (to ClubFloyd), "load sleepmask toursrousttorus"

CF | Leading Yorpwald after defeating Red Bull Burdell and then Elvira
CF | wasn't what you asked for, but it's what you got, and you did well
CF | enough. But the job is exhausting. You've never wanted flatterers, and
CF | you expected criticism, even unfair criticism, but there are some
CF | things you can't avoid listening to by now.

CF | The worst part, as you're getting older: you're maybe half the person
CF | you used to be. This, from people who never thought you were much to
CF | begin with. Still, you Got Stuff Done. But your heart was in things
CF | less. Others seemed to have better ideas. You felt you spent all your
CF | time delegating and getting credit for stuff you just signed off on.
DavidW pushes the green 'space' button.
CF | time delegating and getting credit for stuff you just signed off
CF | on.You wanted adventure. But defeating Red Bull Burdell required
CF | changing just about every pair of things imaginable, and with Elvira,
CF | well, it was more abstract, deciding what to do or think or how to
CF | describe things. What could be left? Then, one day, a diplomat told
CF | you of distant structure. One worth visiting. A Tours Roust
CF | Torus. Nothing seemed there. But if anyone could unlock its
CF | secrets, you could. DavidW asks, "of _a_ distant structure?"
DavidW pushes the green 'space' button.
CF | secrets, you could.You returned to the museum that held the tagged
CF | gadget and letters settler that helped you in your first two quests.
CF | You did so every few months and felt nothing. But this time, a surge!
CF | Still, they were too much a part of history to move from a museum. The
CF | curator had an idea--some stat tats that could help you, if needed.

CF | 6/12N)
CF |
CF | Ehs, Ehs
CF | This is the west area of the torus. Looking inward, the center of the
CF | torus seems slightly blurry, as if something should be there. The EHs
CF | you hear make you wish you could speak something back at them. Nothing
CF | profane, but forceful enough. But there's more than one to counter.

CF | Sheesh
CF | You reckon this had to be the easiest area to figure.
CF | Everything else will probably be tougher. But sometimes a mild
CF | interjection can steel you for what's ahead.

Knight_Otu says, "Sure."
DavidW says (to ClubFloyd), "a"

CF | Prep Area
CF | This is the northwest area of the torus. It looks like there's a
CF | hologram in the center of the torus: a cylindrical silo, or something.
CF | But you have no way to enter. You feel like you are being watched. You
CF | want to duck out and in, but not in the standard directions.

CF |
CF | You back out a bit, then reappear.
CF | The cylindrical hologram grows firmer. But there's no way to get

CF |
CF | [Your score has just gone up by one point.]
CF | Reappear
CF | You get some practice in reappearing. Maybe soon you will have someone
CF | to reappear for.
CF |
CF | > MoyTravis says, "Maybe minor but I'd be annoyed, if I were driving, that it tells you "this is the [traditional IF direction] of the torus" because I'd want to use traditional IF directions. That miiight be literally just me though."

CF ] Grain, Grain 2/8
CF | >

CF |
CF |
CF | Grain, Grain
CF | This is the northeast area of the torus. The cylinder at the center of
CF | the torus looks much more real now. But it is too solid to enter even
CF | if you had a passage. You feel on trial. Well, not quite, but you feel
CF | a need for acquital for ... something.
CF |

Jacqueline says, "Yes"
Jacqueline says, "It where they talk about the charges and enter the plea"
MoyTravis asks, "an "Arraignment"? 1 g?"
Knight_Otu says, "I only get raging rain out of this somehow."
DavidW says, "arraigning"
Jacqueline says (to KO), "That sounds like an excellent music video."
DavidW says (to ClubFloyd), "arraigning"
CF ] Arraigning 3/8
CF | >
CF | > ARRAIGNING
CF |
CF | The grain turns into a court of law, but since you have no guilt, you
CF | are free to go.
CF | The cylinder in the center of the torus rumbles some more. It's no
CF | longer a solid block. But you can't see a door outline yet.
CF |
CF | [Your score has just gone up by one point.]
CF | Arraigning
CF | You have an area for arraigning someone bad, but you have nobody to
CF | tell you where to find said bad people.
CF |
CF | > MoyTravis asks, "arraigning?"
MoyTravis says, "..."
MoyTravis says, "Wow that ain't easy."
Jacqueline says, "Ah"
DavidW says, "I didn't know how to spell that word. Sorry."
ASchultz says, "also I need a better poke than "hmm, rearrange things";"
DavidW says (to ClubFloyd), "a"
CF ] Meta Meat 3/8
CF | >
CF | > A
CF |
CF |
CF | Meta Meat
CF | This is the east area of the torus. You think you can see a crack here
CF | or there in the cylinder at the center of the torus. No way to get
CF | there, though. This area seems meaty, although you don't know why, or
CF | what kind of meaty..
CF |
CF | > Roger says, "hmmm I think it's fair, if not merciful, for the 3rd game in a series to expect the player to have some familiarity with the previous 2"
Jacqueline asks (of AS), "Is that supposed to be a period or an ellipses?"
Roger says, "maybe we need a teammate"
ASchultz says, "(let me know if my notes disrupt things ... they're useful to me to make sure I take care of things later and also so you know I'm paying attention & acknowledging what needs fixing);"
MoyTravis says, "You're good."
Jacqueline says, "No, you're notes are fine."
ASchultz says, "that's a bug! It's one I think I fixed 2 hours after sending the binary.;"
MoyTravis says, "teammeat! the meat of a teammate"
DavidW says, "I don't have any guess for 'meta meat'."
MoyTravis says, "yum"
DavidW says (to ClubFloyd), "teammate"
CF ] Teammate 4/8
CF | >
CF | > TEAMMATE
CF |
CF | Someone comes along and bangs at the barrier inside. You hear a small
CF | cracking.
CF | Yes. You're sure you see a door in the cylinder now.
CF |
CF | [Your score has just gone up by one point.]
CF | Teammate
CF | Now that you have a teammate and a reason to reappear, you have a plan
CF | to brainstorm separately and then together. You figure a lot of things
CF | that make the Torus a lot more alive. It glows significantly.
CF |
CF | > MoyTravis asks, "Was that clued Roger or was it just "I dunno it's an anagram"?"
DavidW says (to ClubFloyd), "a"
CF ] Tines Inset 4/8
CF | >
CF | > A
CF |
CF |
CF | Tines Inset
CF | This is the southeast area of the torus. You're pretty sure you see
CF | the faint outline of a door--wait, more than one outline--leading into
CF | the cylinder at the center of the torus. One for each area of the
CF | torus, you'd guess. You feel disjointed from the whole body of rooms
CF | here.
CF |
CF | > Jacqueline says (to ASchultz), "If you're are okay with us eventually posting this transcript, I think your notes are of benefit. I'm surprised the number of people who use these transcripts for learning about process."
Jacqueline says, "Also for research"
Jacqueline says, "Not merely for finding hints."
Roger says, "I feel an urge towards insistent maybe"
Knight_Otu asks, "Are we ttalking intestines here?"
MoyTravis says, "sentient...es? uh, hold on, that's not got the right letters does it"
DavidW says (to ClubFloyd), "intestines"
CF ] Intestines 5/8
CF | >
CF | > INTESTINES
CF |
CF | You find the guts to turn the place into something more gross, but
CF | manageable.
CF | Yes. The doors now have handles. They seem to open briefly, as if to
CF | beckon you, but ... not yet.
CF |
CF | [Your score has just gone up by one point.]
CF | Intestines
CF | Okay, so there are intestines next to a stomach. You probably need a
CF | bit of luck to get things working. But you've made a good start.
CF |

DavidW says (to ClubFloyd), "a"
CF ] Pechan Pechan 5/8
CF | >
CF | > A
CF |
CF |
CF | Pechan Pechan
CF | This is the south area of the torus. The cylinder now seems to have
CF | doors with handles. But there is no way to approach it. Oh, a pechan
CF | is an odd word for stomach. You may need luck to solve the secret of
CF | this room. Some skill, maybe, but enough skill so your luck matters.
CF |
CF | > bg asks, "What does 5/8 mean? Is that our score?"
ASchultz says, "great! I'm definitely okay with it. I assume if there are more beta test sessions, future authors will know what to expect;"
ASchultz says, "reading this transcript and others;"
Roger says (to floyd), "SCORE"

CF |
CF | You've figured 5 of 9 areas of the Torus. You may wish to explore the
CF | whole torus to see what you might be able to do.
CF |

Roger says, "nothing comes to mind for this one"
DavidW says (to ClubFloyd), "happenchance"
CF ] Happenchance 6/8
CF | >
CF | > HAPPENCHANCE
CF |
CF | You suddenly find a lucky way out.
CF | Well now! A rainbow-like path appears to lead you to the center from
CF | here or, well, the other places you visited, to the center. But you
CF | don't trust it yet. You have a bit more.
CF |
CF | [Your score has just gone up by one point.]
CF | Happenchance
CF | The Torus seems more alive now that the intestines are not just near
CF | the pechan/stomach but, by some, err, happenchance, they seem to
CF | connect and perform some vital organ function.
CF |
CF | > Jacqueline says, "ha"
Jacqueline says, "Nice"
DavidW says (to ClubFloyd), "a"
CF ] Latte, Latte 6/8
CF | >

CF |
CF |
CF | Latte, Latte
CF | This is the southwest area of the torus. All sorts of coffee shops
CF | here! What is going on? You know it's ridiculous, but you can't bring
CF | yourself to say so. There seems to almost be a walkway to the cylinder
CF | at the center from each area of the torus. But it doesn't quite look
CF | solid enough. Yet. Coffee certainly makes folks chatty, you know..
CF |
CF | > Knight_Otu says, "Well done."
DavidW says, "thanks"
Jacqueline asks (of AS), "'You have a bit more' seems a bit weird. Too short, or something. A bit more what?"
DavidW says (to ClubFloyd), "tattletale"
CF ] Tattletale 7/8
CF | >
CF | > TATTLETALE
CF |
CF | Someone comes along and mentions how ridiculous it is to have that
CF | many coffee shops so close to each other. Suddenly, everyone believes
CF | it! Some coffee shops decide to become something with a little more
CF | variety.
CF | The path to the center of the torus grows firmer. You try to rush
CF | inward, but something invisible bounces you back. Perhaps there's one
CF | more thing to do. Strange. You seem to have anagrammed everything.
CF | A voice booms "Noon? No! No!" Perhaps there's a simple way to try to
CF | repel it.
CF |
CF | [Your score has just gone up by one point.]
CF | Tattletale
CF | Aha! Now that you have summoned a tattletale and arraigning, the
CF | tattletale tattles, and you have somewhere to send the perpetrators,
CF | whoever they are, to justice.
CF |
CF | > ASchultz says, "yes, very impressive! Also, I agree about "a bit more" ... I tend to short-hop descriptions in my first draft(s);"

bg says, "and a more explicit goal about visiting all the locations."
Jade says, "go no anagraming gun path, this game is awesome"

bg asks, "did we ever figure out what noon no no was for?"
ASchultz says, "oh and thanks Jade ... I'm glad I have time to work through the issues brought up;"
DavidW says (to bg), "sorta. It was a clue to ON."
ASchultz says, "the solution was to say "On" but I think trying 4 n's and 4 o's is very valid and should be clued/funneled;"
Pinkunz says (to ASchultz), "I'm glad you could make it to the earlier session."
Jade says, "ON is fine"
ASchultz says, "I'm glad too. Pushing for this beta probably caused a few of the bugs to op up, but it's been really worth my time, and I hope it was worth youts;"
bg asks, "I don't follow what "on" is supposed to mean...like, what does it have to do with visiting the locations?"
Roger says, "yeah it's a good format for the Club also, I would say"
ASchultz says, "the clue was "Noon? No No";"
Jade says, "perhaps a clue, but I am foreign language, so my vote doesnt count"
DavidW asks, "Incidentally, what happens if we ON, traverse the ring correctly, but don't go IN when expected to but explore the ring more?"
ASchultz says, "so the point was to kind of go backwards from Noon to On;"
Roger says, "my sense is that ON alludes to carrying-on, and perhaps also to setting-off"
ASchultz says, "once you've traversed the ring, you can always go in, but there is nothing to do. I can/should make that clear to;"
ASchultz says, "I have to mop up the reasons why ON is what it is, beyond just the abstract ON = 1/2 of NOON or NO NO;"
Pinkunz says, "Perhaps have the hint to go in only trigger after so many moves after opening the way, assuming the player is wandering."
ASchultz says, "yes, I think that's a good idea. I concentrated heavily on hints if someone did not figure an anagram in the first X moves, but I dropped the ball on the traversal;"
ASchultz says, "which may be tougher for some people. There are 64 possibilities, actually less than 10 if you notice something, but they are hard to keep track of;"
DavidW says, "I suspect we solved the ring's anagrams faster than expected."
ASchultz says, "yes, so you missed some content. If you go around the ring without solving anything, you get a hinting NPC;"
Jacqueline says (to Andrew), "I'm glad this was useful."
Pinkunz says, "A recall function would be cool, some sort of verb to show the annagrams we've already figured out so far. Not really necessary, but would give a sense of progress."
DavidW asks, "we missed an entire NPC?"
Roger says, "yeah, you could pump up SCORE a bit"
DavidW says, "darn darn"
ASchultz says, "good idea with the SCORE for sure. That would not be hard.;"
ASchultz says, "I think it'd give great mileage for time spent coding"
ASchultz says, "plus whenever I write hint code I always seem to add to the story in unexpected ways" Pinkunz asks, "Are you planning to allow undo in the final comp version?"
Pinkunz says (to ASchultz), "Also glad this was useful."
ASchultz says, "say that's a good question. I'd lean towards not allowing it during ON;"
ASchultz says, "It was useful and fun for me, and just having an extra deadline to prepare stuff helped me push myself"
ASchultz says, "It in fact helped with the other games in the series I need to make a final release of. All 3 use a few header files in common, so I did some tweaking" Jade says, "OK, GG, I will take a dine now"
Pinkunz says (to ASchultz), "Do you have any questions for us? Thoughts on specific elements, etc"
ASchultz says, "but if I disable UNDO during the chase, I definitely want to give the player hints. They could lawnmower into a dead end;"
Jade says, "Have a nice week"
ASchultz says, "Jade, thanks for the message at intfiction to remind me of this;"
Pinkunz exclaims (at Jade), "Bye!"
ASchultz says, "I can't think of anything else. You all gave me a lot of ideas to work on, but none should be too taxing. It's great to have them well in advance of the deadline;"
bg says, "if you allow undo only up to a point, it would be interesting if, at that point, there's some message saying that undo is disabled. Only a more fun/in game message."
ASchultz says, "If someone else has a testing slot next week, I'd definitely like to pay it forward a bit, here;"
Pinkunz says, "Speaking of that, I do have an author for next for next week."
bg says, "(something in character with the atmosphere of the game, i mean.)"
MoyTravis asks, "Where did you find these authors, anyways?"
Pinkunz says, "They are also playing out the clock for the the beta file."
DavidW says, "truck stops"
ASchultz says, "excellent! And yes, bg, I do need to think about something in character with the game. I tend to go with "well this technically works" and then I need a poke to actually give it color and narrative sense;"
Roger says, "the disabling of undo could fit in with the inability to change direction on the torus: there's no turning back now, or some such thing"
Pinkunz says, "Intfiction, Adventuron Discord, punyIF discord, IF Tumblr, IF reddit, etc."
ASchultz says, "good idea Roger;"
