A 2001 time capsule, January 1, 2024
by Lance Cirone (Backwater, Vermont)

This quick SpeedIF was written under command to include various random topics in a game, which include Hank Buzzcrack, Mother Theresa, T.S. Eliot, the golden banana of discord, and Grant Stern. This game uses Best of Three's engine to cast you as Gustav Schmidt. It's all a little confusing without context. I'm not especially well-versed in IF history and, much like Grant and Gustav, had no idea who Hank Buzzcrack was.

Perhaps the most interesting part is when you ask Grant about his desires:
"Desires? [...] I would like to undo a mistake I made, a mistake of attitude that hurt someone. I would like— many things that are not possible." This seems to be referring to Helen from Best of Three, whom you can also ask about. Much of the gameplay comes down to reading topics from a list to see who gets to take home the golden banana of discord. Still, Grant definitely feels like himself and I enjoyed reading what he had to say.
