spies8margot (12:40:16 PM) has entered the room.
Spies8Awohali (12:40:16 PM) has entered the room.
spies8margot (12:40:21 PM): hey
Spies8Awohali (12:40:35 PM): Hello there, this room is less crowded than I would have imagined.
spies8margot (12:40:47 PM): yeah
spies8margot (12:40:58 PM): and jenny's not very talkative
Spies8Awohali (12:41:25 PM): Well, maybe we can liven things up a bit... I just got done adding in everyone's screen name to my buddy list, which was a challenge in itself
spies8margot (12:41:51 PM): same, and also put in my buddy icon
Spies8Awohali (12:42:16 PM): I'll have to look into how to do that, I imagine it's not very complicated?
spies8margot (12:42:26 PM): not really
spies8margot (12:42:37 PM): what version of aim do you have?
Spies8Awohali (12:43:10 PM): Well.... That is a good question, too, actually
Spies8Awohali (12:43:19 PM): Is there... A way I would be able to check that?
Spies8Awohali (12:43:30 PM): Ah, version 6.9
spies8margot (12:43:45 PM): ah. i have lucky 7
spies8margot (12:43:59 PM): try seeing if there's "expressions" in the settings
spies8margot (12:44:15 PM): and there should be something there that will allow you to put in a buddy icon
Spies8Awohali (12:44:41 PM): There is, but it doesn't come up. I was informed upon logging in that some of my settings and expressions would not work. I'm not sure what I did to anger AIM, but apparently it already doesn't like me!
spies8margot (12:45:28 PM): AIM must have gained emotions
spies8margot (12:45:34 PM): watch now as it takes over the world
spies8margot (12:45:50 PM): and we'll have to build an austrian terminator to stop it
Spies8Awohali (12:45:53 PM): Maybe that's the true power of the Spies, they have got AIM on their side
Spies8Awohali (12:46:02 PM): I hear that California may have one of those.
spies8margot (12:46:26 PM): those damn spies
spies8margot (12:46:42 PM): i'm a new yorker, so california can stick it
Spies8Awohali (12:47:03 PM): I've never been to either place, so I guess I better remain neutral on that issue.
spies8margot (12:47:32 PM): like switzerland, which is bordering austria
spies8margot (12:47:35 PM): hmm...
Spies8Awohali (12:47:57 PM): Oh no... I think my cover has been blown already
Spies8Awohali (12:48:35 PM): I guess now is the time to tell you my partners, who are Cinnamyn, Dane, Stephanie, and Themba.
spies8margot (12:49:02 PM): *jots down in notebook*
spies8margot (12:49:35 PM): i just ask that you don't kill me the first night
spies8margot (12:49:51 PM): perhaps one of the jocks or the bimbos that are in a fashion club
Spies8Awohali (12:50:18 PM): I think that this request is a fair trade off. I just ask that you give away all of my partners before giving me away!
spies8margot (12:50:41 PM): throw in $10, and you have a deal
Spies8Awohali (12:50:56 PM): Ah, yes, the bribes... I can arrange that.
spies8margot (12:51:21 PM): excellent
spies8margot (12:51:37 PM): i am a writer, so that $10 shall feed me for a month
spies8dane (12:51:37 PM) has entered the room.
Spies8Awohali (12:52:00 PM): You writers are very thrifty then.
Spies8Awohali (12:52:17 PM): Osiyo, Dane

spies8margot (12:58:05 PM): is jenny dead?
Spies8Awohali (12:58:10 PM): And don't worry, Dane, I actually don't even like being called a Native American, if that's what you mean. Anyone born in AMerica is a native American...
spies8dane (12:58:48 PM): like I said, is all good man

Spies8Awohali (1:00:44 PM): I have a stick, but I don't think she would want to be poked by it.
spies8dane (1:00:46 PM): rofl, calssy
spies8dane (1:00:50 PM): classy
spies8margot (1:01:13 PM) has left the room.
spies8dane (1:01:31 PM): no sticks here either, but I do have a flagpole to get her attention with
spies8cinnamyn (1:01:42 PM): o hayyyyyyyyyyy lmbo!

spies8cinnamyn (1:04:11 PM): i am glad not every1 is on rite now cuz i can hardly handle 3 of yall
Spies8Awohali (1:04:15 PM): I'm sorry, alchohal is definitely mnot for me. You might say I had a bit of a problem with it in my early 20's.
spies8cinnamyn (1:04:20 PM): cant imagine however many else dere are (i forget)
spies8dane (1:04:27 PM): shit man, how old ARE you
Spies8Awohali (1:04:44 PM): Not old! Just 31, but... It's older than I wish I nwas.
spies8dane (1:04:46 PM): bout 30 i think minny
spies8cinnamyn (1:05:07 PM): o aight den
spies8dane (1:05:07 PM): I can deal with 31
Spies8Awohali (1:05:39 PM): I'm definitely no 70 year old creeper, if that's any compensation.
spies8cinnamyn (1:05:56 PM): age iz just a number bb
Spies8Awohali (1:06:26 PM): Very true. I try to maintain good conditioning to feel young, but sometimes it's easier to be lazy.
spies8cinnamyn (1:06:52 PM): lmbo i no das right!
spies8dane (1:07:01 PM): problem is the burg got so screwed up before BECAUSE all the old white farts were useless and only looking out for themselves
spies8dane (1:07:11 PM): we JUST got rid of them
spies8dane (1:07:14 PM): don't need more
Spies8Awohali (1:07:35 PM): Well, I'm not too old, not white, and as far as I know, not a fart, so I should be in luck, yes?
spies8cinnamyn (1:07:54 PM): i think im gud cuz i dont think im any of doze
spies8dane (1:08:18 PM): like i said, I can handle 31, and one of my frat brothers was a damn cool cherokee

spies8dane (1:14:17 PM): i gotta jet, but I'll probably be back later
spies8dane (1:14:24 PM) has left the room.
spies8jenny (1:23:13 PM) has left the room.

spies8cory (2:03:52 PM): Are you a firm believer in democracy?
Spies8Awohali (2:04:14 PM): Hhello. I am, at least when it is a true democracy and not an illusion.
spies8cory (2:04:22 PM): Good.
spies8cory (2:04:29 PM): Because if you were not I would have to block you.
spies8cory (2:04:41 PM): What is that kid Dane's deal?
spies8cory (2:04:45 PM): He does not seem very intelligent.
Spies8Awohali (2:04:48 PM): That would certainly sadden me. And you are also a believer in Democracy?
spies8cory (2:04:54 PM): Evidently
spies8cory (2:05:09 PM): And this Burg is full of tyranny as far as I can tell
Spies8Awohali (2:05:17 PM): Good, although I would not have blocked you. As for Dane... He seems a bit fun-loving and unfocused.
spies8cory (2:05:37 PM): That's why tonight live at chat, you will be randomly divided into two teams: the Democrats and the Republicans. Each team will vote out one of its own separately at separate Exiles.
spies8cory (2:05:44 PM): Random division?
spies8cory (2:05:50 PM): That does not sound very democratic!
Spies8Awohali (2:06:00 PM): Yes, I don't like the idea of being assigned to a political party.
spies8cory (2:06:09 PM): A crooked judge, this Sam is
Spies8Awohali (2:06:22 PM): Perhas a proitest is in order.
Spies8Awohali (2:06:28 PM): Peaceful, of course.
spies8cory (2:10:00 PM): I will show him when I become part of the supreme court.
Spies8Awohali (2:10:12 PM): You appear to have grand endeavors.
spies8cory (2:10:19 PM): My first order of business will be to put into laws all things forbidding him from performing this tyranny in the future.
spies8cory (2:10:35 PM): Would you not want to take a shot at supreme court?
spies8cory (2:10:42 PM): Making laws for your fellow citizens.
spies8cory (2:10:53 PM): You are building the fortification of the future of this nation.
Spies8Awohali (2:11:02 PM): I'm content with being a voice for the people
spies8cory (2:11:11 PM): Protecting it from wrongdoings through use of your good nature and intelligence.
spies8cory (2:11:28 PM): Lol, so you would not take up the offer, if it was given?
spies8cory (2:11:34 PM): That seems incomprehensible to me.
Spies8Awohali (2:11:50 PM): I would consider it, to be sure. But there are pros and cons to every situation.
spies8cory (2:14:33 PM): I suppose that is true.
spies8cory (2:14:39 PM): But who better to trust than yourself?
spies8cory (2:14:49 PM): With such great power, I wouldn't trust many over myself.
spies8cory (2:14:55 PM): Sam, for instance.
spies8cory (2:15:00 PM): Could you imagine if he were to get that spot instead?
spies8cory (2:15:20 PM): We'd be a nation of pandemonium in a heartbeat.
Spies8Awohali (2:15:33 PM): This is a valid point. You must consider what power may do to you, though. If it's a quest for power you're interested in, then the position is not a good one for you to be in.
spies8cory (2:16:24 PM): Only fools allow themselves to be corrupted by power. And Sam may very well be one of them.
spies8cory (2:16:26 PM): Not I, however.
Spies8Awohali (2:17:00 PM): I doubt that you are a fool, and I hope that Sam is not.
spies8cory (2:17:02 PM): It is disallowing anyone from gaining enough power to, themselves, do damage to our well being that makes me want to make this happen.
spies8cory (2:17:07 PM): We'll see.
spies8cory (2:17:15 PM): He had better get rid of this 'random division' if he knows what's good for him.
spies8cory (2:17:23 PM): Otherwise, I should see about ousting him
Spies8Awohali (2:18:05 PM): Well, I
Spies8Awohali (2:18:12 PM): 'm sure much will be revealed tonight.
Spies8Awohali (2:18:32 PM): Unfortunately, I won't be here tonight... Perhaps I will be able to ask you for any important happenings?
spies8cory (2:19:02 PM): Certainly.
spies8cory (2:19:27 PM): As long as you agree to inform me if you become a spy. Lol.
spies8cory (2:19:49 PM): Then I will promtly tell you to go fuck yourself and your information! Hah!
Spies8Awohali (2:20:07 PM): Ha! I'm not sure that I would do such a thing, unless you're a Spy, also, in which case I think I;'d have no choice but to acquiece
spies8cory (2:20:48 PM): Being a spy would be interesting. How would I balance the role of a spy and the role of a man seeking equality?
spies8cory (2:20:58 PM): Perhaps being a Spy is necessary in this endeaver.
spies8cory (2:21:03 PM): Yes. I will see to it that I am one.
spies8cory (2:21:09 PM): Thank you, Awohali, for showing this to me.
Spies8Awohali (2:21:20 PM): I'm always glad to be of service.
spies8cory (2:21:53 PM): Well it's a good thing I'm not serious. Lol.
Spies8Awohali (2:22:22 PM): Well, I'm sure that if seen from a certain viewpoint, being a Spy could somehow bring equality.
spies8cory (2:23:03 PM): They are the very definition of those who would seek power and become corrupted by it.
Spies8Awohali (2:23:41 PM): What if they were to eliminate only the Citizens who are corrupt?
spies8cory (2:26:17 PM): Then we are very lucky indeed.
spies8cory (2:26:23 PM): However, I doubt they would.
Spies8Awohali (2:26:33 PM): We can only hope they will, but it is doubtful.
spies8cory (2:26:37 PM): Well, Awohali.
spies8cory (2:26:41 PM): I must be leaving.
spies8cory (2:26:45 PM): Time to be lifeguarding, Lol.
Spies8Awohali (2:26:52 PM): It was nice to meet you, Cory, have fun!
Spies8Awohali (2:26:56 PM): Let not anyone drown
spies8cory (2:27:00 PM): I won't.
spies8cory (2:27:08 PM): Only terrible lifeguards do more than pull someone out of the pool.

[Awohali]

spies8chance (2:09:31 PM) has entered the room.
spies8chance (2:09:42 PM): 'sup.
Spies8Awohali (2:09:56 PM): Osiyo, Chance.
spies8chance (2:10:17 PM): hey, awohali. nice to meet ya.
Spies8Awohali (2:10:43 PM): And nice to meet you also. Have you gotten settled into AIM and the boards?
spies8cinnamyn (2:10:52 PM) has left the room.
spies8chance (2:11:04 PM): just finished addin' people to aim, and browsing the board right now, so yeah.
spies8chance (2:11:17 PM): doesn't look like dane likes cory much.
Spies8Awohali (2:11:19 PM): It takes forever to add everyone, I've found/
spies8chance (2:11:22 PM): yeah it did.
Spies8Awohali (2:11:28 PM): No, in fact it sounds like they dislike each other.
spies8chance (2:12:14 PM): according to dane's aim message, anyway.
Spies8Awohali (2:12:45 PM): Ah, I had not noticed that. Cory is at the moment instant messaging me about disliking Dane.
Spies8Awohali (2:12:59 PM): I take it... They might have had a slight disagreement.
spies8chance (2:13:15 PM): is he.
spies8chance (2:13:27 PM): i haven't messaged anyone privately yet. just came in here first.
Spies8Awohali (2:13:47 PM): Me neither, I'm not entirely sure if we're even supposed to, but I thought it would be rude not to respond.
Spies8Awohali (2:13:59 PM): I figure this chat room is fair game for all to converse, though.
spies8chance (2:14:15 PM): hell, why not talk to people?
spies8chance (2:14:24 PM): won't cause any harm, i think.
Spies8Awohali (2:14:47 PM): I should hope not. I need to talk to as many as possible, for I will probably not be online tonight initially.
spies8tina (2:14:51 PM) has entered the room.
spies8chance (2:16:15 PM): 'sup tina.
spies8tina (2:16:21 PM): Hi
Spies8Awohali (2:17:07 PM): Hello, Tina.
spies8tina (2:18:15 PM): So how would you do this on a board? I have played during a break at work a few times so this is confusing.
spies8tina (2:18:49 PM): I think that I can figure out this, but the other part seems odd.
spies8chance (2:19:31 PM): it's a lot like forum mafia or werewolf if you've ever played that.
Spies8Awohali (2:19:35 PM): You are referring to how to play Mafia on the board?
spies8tina (2:20:04 PM): I have only played at work on the rare times that I am in the office.
spies8tina (2:20:30 PM): I guess I can treat this like talking to people there, but am not sure what to expect from a board type thing.
spies8chance (2:20:56 PM): basically the same, except there's always a record of what people said.
Spies8Awohali (2:21:02 PM): I imagine the board will function as a place to post expanded points and ideas
spies8tina (2:22:46 PM): I guess. Just is going to be awkward I think since even this is confusing to start.
Spies8Awohali (2:23:16 PM): In all due time,l everything should be made clear. In the meantime, you will have friends to help you rid yourself of confusion!
spies8chance (2:23:57 PM): brb.
spies8chance (2:23:59 PM) has left the room.
spies8tina (2:25:24 PM): I guess so. I know how to play when actually talking with people, but we will see how this translates over.
spies8tina (2:25:52 PM): Although the most people I have played with is five others.
spies8tina (2:25:59 PM): This is, bigger.
Spies8Awohali (2:26:12 PM): I'm sure you'll be given some leeway. I'd only advise that evenb if you do not enjoy making board posts, that you do so at least once or twice an episode
Spies8Awohali (2:26:19 PM): Yes... 30 people is a lot.
spies8tina (2:28:27 PM): Well, I have to go to work, am stuck in the office this week. Usually I am almost done with routes by now.
spies8chance (2:28:36 PM) has entered the room.
spies8chance (2:28:42 PM): i'm back.
Spies8Awohali (2:29:06 PM): Welcome back.
Spies8Awohali (2:29:17 PM): And goodbye, Tina, enjoy the rest of your work day.
spies8tina (2:29:33 PM) has left the room.
spies8chance (2:30:44 PM): oh. 'bye, tina.
Spies8Awohali (2:31:13 PM): People seem to be in and out rather quickly.
spies8chance (2:33:42 PM): yeah, looks like.

[Awohali]

spies8nita (2:36:56 PM): Hey, Awohali!
Spies8Awohali (2:40:10 PM): Hello, Nita, nice to meet you.
Spies8Awohali (2:40:33 PM): I apologize for the delayed response, my cousin stopped by for a second.
spies8nita (2:41:36 PM): It's no problem
spies8nita (2:42:06 PM): Enjoying your time in the game?
Spies8Awohali (2:42:17 PM): I am, so far, although I guess technically the game is yet to start.
spies8nita (2:44:14 PM): Maybe but that don't mean people aren't forming opinions that will carry over into the game
spies8nita (2:44:25 PM): I hope to make some friends and have some fun
Spies8Awohali (2:45:03 PM): Right, it would be nice to make some friends along the way.
spies8nita (2:49:33 PM): Awohali, that's a name you don't hear everyday
Spies8Awohali (2:50:08 PM): No, I imagine it's probably not! Ialthough it could would be cool to meet another Awohali some day
Spies8Awohali (2:50:11 PM): It's a Cherokee name
spies8nita (2:51:32 PM): Does it mean something?
Spies8Awohali (2:52:04 PM): I hope it means ME! But yes, it actually means Eagle in my people's language
Spies8Awohali (2:52:22 PM): Although I haven't always fit the discription very well. I'm not bald yet, for one.
spies8nita (2:52:55 PM): Eagle huh? Eagles are strong and smart and patriotic aren't they?
Spies8Awohali (2:53:23 PM): I believe so, yes, which might help me ina game based on the current theme! That worked out kind of well
Spies8Awohali (2:53:42 PM): Hopefully I'm not poached
spies8nita (2:54:12 PM): Ay yi yi, poaching an eagle, what an idea
spies8nita (2:54:20 PM): Where you come up with these things?
Spies8Awohali (2:54:38 PM): You'd be surprised at the crazy things some people do!
Spies8Awohali (2:55:13 PM): People would poach the loch ness monster if they thought they could, I'm sure.
spies8nita (2:59:16 PM): They could poach it, but they couldn't make me eat it!
Spies8Awohali (2:59:37 PM): Gross, I'm with you on that. Grilled monster doesn't sound like my dream dinner.
Spies8Awohali (3:00:01 PM): Nita isn't an extremely common name, either, is there a story behind it?
spies8nita (3:00:28 PM): We're all named N names, my sisters and I
spies8nita (3:01:23 PM): Norma's the oldest, then me, then Nerea. We call her the baby of the family and not just cause she's the youngest
Spies8Awohali (3:02:16 PM): It must be nice to have so many sisters! And why else is Nerea the baby?
spies8nita (3:04:00 PM): Ay yi, she cries all the time, spoiled, baby fat. But we love her even when she drives us loco
spies8nita (3:04:08 PM): Family, no?
Spies8Awohali (3:04:31 PM): Yes, family can be a love-hate relationship sometimes, but more emphasis on the love
spies8nita (3:06:55 PM): Yeah that sounds about right
spies8nita (3:07:04 PM): You got family?
Spies8Awohali (3:07:41 PM): I do... Not in the adult sense, though. I'm unmarried, but I have two older brothers and my mother and father. They live an hour away, though.
spies8nita (3:10:42 PM): Got a girlfriend?
Spies8Awohali (3:11:09 PM): I'm sad to say that I don't at the moment... When I was in the Service I did, for a few years, but things didn't work out, really.
spies8nita (3:11:58 PM): You should talk to Mary. She's looking for someone to marry
Spies8Awohali (3:12:20 PM): And I am looking for someone to awohalli!
Spies8Awohali (3:12:34 PM): Kidding of course, but it's interesting that Mary would be interested in marriage. Is she nice?
spies8nita (3:12:43 PM): Find out!
Spies8Awohali (3:13:13 PM): FOr whatever reason, she does not appear listed as online on my Buddy List
Spies8Awohali (3:13:34 PM): Actually, you do not either, although you're loaded in there correctly... This is weird.
Spies8Awohali (3:19:39 PM): And as Savannah instant messages me, I have noticed that she does not appear either. My buddy list might be a sexist pig.
Spies8Awohali (3:24:56 PM): I will be going for now, it was a pleasure to meet you, Nita

[Awohali]

spies8savannah (3:14:45 PM): hey awohali!!
Spies8Awohali (3:14:56 PM): Hello Savannah, it is nice to meet you.
spies8savannah (3:15:19 PM): it is nice to meet you too!
spies8savannah (3:15:21 PM): how are you?
Spies8Awohali (3:15:53 PM): I'm doing great, although I'm now sdiscovering that some people who are on AIM are not online on my BL, even though they're listed properly
spies8savannah (3:16:27 PM): =O
spies8savannah (3:16:30 PM): whatt!
Spies8Awohali (3:17:04 PM): It is weird.... I've noticed it with you and Nita both now, I think my list is messed up.
spies8savannah (3:17:12 PM): aww!
spies8savannah (3:17:15 PM): you better fix that
Spies8Awohali (3:17:34 PM): I must, for sure. It's hard to talk to people if I do not even know that they are online
spies8savannah (3:18:49 PM): maybe they are invisible!
Spies8Awohali (3:19:16 PM): I hope not, that would be odd.
spies8savannah (3:19:43 PM): it would be!
spies8savannah (3:19:48 PM): i would double check the spelling
Spies8Awohali (3:20:14 PM): This I have done, just to be sure... I did get an error message upon logging in that some of my features would not work properly
spies8savannah (3:22:40 PM): hmmmmmmm
spies8savannah (3:22:46 PM): maybe that judge guy can help you!
Spies8Awohali (3:23:02 PM): I will ask him if the problem is still here tomorrow, for sure.
Spies8Awohali (3:23:11 PM): It's possible that my buddy list is just sexist
Spies8Awohali (3:25:08 PM): I have got to go for now, but it was very nice to meet you
