[22:58] spies8jenny: Hi there! Sorry about missing you this morning!
[22:58] Spies8Awohali: Hi! It is OK, and I am in turn sorry for missing you up until this moment, how are you??
[22:59] spies8jenny: I'm good! Had a fire at work, but it was a small one thankfully.
[22:59] Spies8Awohali: A fire? What do you do?
[23:00] spies8jenny: The furnace in the basement apparently went crazy.
[23:00] spies8jenny: Had to evacuate the building while the fire dept. sorted that out.
[23:01] Spies8Awohali: That does not seem like a pleasant situation. I am glad that you are OK!
[23:01] Spies8Awohali: Was no one harmed?
[23:02] spies8jenny: It was just a safety precaution.
[23:02] spies8jenny: And it was the end of the workday anyways, so we just left when that happened.
[23:03] Spies8Awohali: That sounds like a wise move. And if anything, you were paid to do nothing at the end of the day, right?
[23:04] spies8jenny: No I mean it was really the end of the day. We had about 10 minutes left of work, just waiting for UPS to show up, and I was in the public room chatting with the others, and then all of a sudden cops come in asking about it, and we start to rush to shut everything down and get all the boxes outside before they kicked us out of the building.
[23:04] Spies8Awohali: Ah, well, I take back what I said, then. That sucks!
[23:05] spies8jenny: Certainly made for interesting talk when I got back.
[23:05] spies8jenny: "I gotta go, there's a fire in the building."
[23:05] spies8jenny: "Did Jenny just die?"
[23:05] Spies8Awohali: Ha! I can imagine! I'd have been very confused to see that, but certainly concerned
[23:11] spies8jenny: So getting back on topic, any thoughts on the players yet?
[23:12] Spies8Awohali: Well, unfortunately not really... I had several conversations this afternoon, but they don't really count since roles were not given out. I'm trying to stay out of the way of the current mafia game, but watching how each player plays may prove to be fruitful.
[23:12] spies8jenny: That's not a bad idea. I'm just trying to talk with as many people as I can before we get seperated.
[23:13] Spies8Awohali: That's probably a better idea than what I'm doing, actually.
[23:13] Spies8Awohali: Did Sam say when the seperation would happen?
[23:14] spies8jenny: Probably as soon as he gets around to sorting that mess of letters and numbers out.
[23:15] Spies8Awohali: More letters and numbers? I do not like the sound of those! I guess my bes toption is to start rapid fire instant messages
[23:17] spies8jenny: Always fun and entertaining!
[23:18] Spies8Awohali: And of course mind boggling, also
[23:32] spies8jenny: How goes the rapid fire?
[23:33] Spies8Awohali: It is turning out to be a slow fire... I became engaged in a conversation with Themba and I've not instant messaged any other syet, and yours?
[23:33] spies8jenny: Not much information so far. Just the usual jitters from everyone.
[23:33] spies8jenny: How did the chat with themba go?
[23:35] Spies8Awohali: It has gone well, he mentioned there being a few players that were much louder than others, but could not give a comparison before and after allignment posts... Did you notice anyone who was loud prior to allignment posts that got quiet after them, or vice versa?
[23:38] spies8jenny: Not so much for me really. Although getting quiet after roles came out could also mean they got a town role like the doctor and suddenly became very nervous about how to proceed in the game.
[23:38] Spies8Awohali: Well, Sam has posted on the forum that no actual roles have been given out yet, just the allignments.
[23:38] spies8jenny: Either way though, I didn't really notice anything like that.
[23:39] spies8jenny: You are still told if you are getting one though.
[23:39] spies8jenny: Even if you don't have the details yet, that could be enough to make some people nervous as it is.
[23:40] Spies8Awohali: This is so? I must have overlooked that initially. Yes, in fact, the uncertainty might be worse than not knowing at all.
[23:40] spies8jenny: In past spies games, people that had roles would get a message like.
[23:40] spies8jenny: You are a(n) citizen/spy!
You also have a role! More info will be given later!
[23:41] spies8jenny: And then they would later get another post talking about the role.
[23:41] Spies8Awohali: That is interesting, I really wish I would have made it for the chat event now.
[23:41] spies8jenny: The transcript is up at least for it.
[23:42] Spies8Awohali: That is something I fear I will save for a rainy day, I'm sure it is hectic.
[23:42] spies8jenny: Oh you have no idea.
[23:43] Spies8Awohali: Did I say rainy day? Maybe I will save it for a hurricane, although living in Oklahoma may make that difficul;t
[23:43] spies8jenny: By the way, I don't think you saw this yet. Something I thought of earlier that really should be sorted out now.
[23:43] spies8jenny: spies8.proboards.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=burg&thread=261&page=1
[23:44] Spies8Awohali: I did see this, I'm debating how to respond to it. I obviously will not make a big deal of politics based on the teams we're on, but if anyone were to want to discuss politics with me I would not want to turn them down, either.
[23:45] spies8jenny: My worry is that it would get out of control, and not do anything for the game.
[23:46] Spies8Awohali: You have my sincere word that I will not participate in any such discussion that gets out of control, I would only do it during private conversations or down time in the chat, if at all.
[23:46] spies8jenny: Well that's good.
I just figured it should be said before the problem came up at least.
[23:47] Spies8Awohali: That was a wise decision, thinking ahead, I like it!
[23:47] spies8jenny: We got a theme about politics, and are being seperated into teams named after the political parties. That's just asking for trouble.
[23:48] Spies8Awohali: It really is, I'm interested to see people who get angry over their team, it will be... Amusing, in the least.
[23:49] spies8jenny: That's what made me think of it actually, I saw someone or another sarcastically cheer for white power because someone predicted she was going to be in the republican group.
[23:49] Spies8Awohali: Oh... Oh my... Yes, I'd rather not hear such things, even in jest.
[23:50] spies8jenny: That's what I was thinking, yeah.
[23:50] Spies8Awohali: I have faith that most of the members will be upstanding, but we may have a few insensitives among us.
[23:51] spies8jenny: No real way to punish any truce breakers, but hopefully people will just go with it.
[23:51] Spies8Awohali: Right, we can, at the keast, call out those who go against their own word.
[22:58] Spies8Awohali: Hi! It is OK, and I am in turn sorry for missing you up until this moment, how are you??
[22:59] spies8jenny: I'm good! Had a fire at work, but it was a small one thankfully.
