ClubFloyd

From IFWiki

ClubFloyd was founded on September 2, 2007. The idea behind it is that each week at a pre-arranged time, people can meet online to cooperatively play a game of interactive fiction.

Games are played via the Floyd bot located in the Toyshop and Floyditorium, just southwest of the Adventurer's Lounge in ifMud. (The magic word "toyshop" can be used to teleport there directly.)

Which game to play and when to play it is decided on in advance via the use of the ClubFloyd Suggestions object (located in the lounge) and the #clubfloyd channel. The suggestions object text reads:

Welcome to ClubFloyd! Once a week, presently scheduled for Sundays at 9pm GMT but subject to change, interested people can meet in the Toyshop to tagteam-play an IF game on Floyd. If interested, please @joinc #ClubFloyd and sign below with suggestions on what games you'd like to play (especially since we may need to load some new games into Floyd for the occasion). Suggestions can only be games that run in Hugo, TADS, or Inform, and ideally should be playable in 1-2 hours. If you're really interested, but the time is bad for you, mudmail me with a suggested time that will work across all US and western European time zones.

Note: ClubFloyd's current start time is 3pm EDT, 7pm GMT.

Tips

The quick way to tell Floyd to do something is with the "f" command, e.g.:

  • f take keys is the same as the mud command ..Floyd take keys

You can also whisper to Floyd with the "wf" command, but whispering to Floyd is discouraged during ClubFloyd games.

There's two buttons in the Toyshop to help players tell Floyd to push the spacebar or enter key:

  • push green button or push space or push spacebar tells Floyd to push the spacebar.
  • push yellow button or push enter or push return tells Floyd to push the enter key.

Unfortunately, there's no way to display the status bar from a game.
