[17:27] spies8savannah: awww i like it
[17:27] spies8savannah: i like old fashioned names =)
[17:27] spies8savannah: but gerty sounds cute =)
[17:27] spies8gertrude: A flair for the Victorian, eh? Me too!
[17:28] spies8gertrude: However, I'm don't really approve of my namesakes in literature
[17:28] spies8gertrude: Shakespeare's Gertrude was so dependent, it was a shame.
[17:28] spies8gertrude: But I digress!
[17:28] Meebo Message: Could not IM buddy
[17:28] spies8gertrude: Oh, it appears a message has failed to send.
[17:29] spies8gertrude: [17:28] spies8gertrude: However, I'm don't really approve of my namesakes in literature

[17:28] spies8gertrude: Oh, it appears a message has failed to send.
[17:31] spies8savannah: meebo is stupid!
[17:31] spies8savannah: well shakespeare can suck it :-)
[17:31] spies8savannah: you seem like a very nice gertrude =)
[17:31] spies8gertrude: Well, thank you!
[17:32] spies8gertrude: You seem pleasant yourself!
[17:32] spies8savannah: aww thanks =)
[17:32] spies8savannah: i try :-)
[17:32] spies8gertrude: So, what's your story?
[17:32] spies8savannah: well im adopted
[17:32] spies8savannah: and soon i will own my own bakery
[17:32] spies8savannah: !
:-)
[17:33] spies8gertrude: Oh, that sounds marvelous!
[17:33] spies8savannah: yes! all sorts of yummy treats =)
[17:33] spies8savannah: and hopefully live in new york!
[17:33] spies8savannah: i need to get out of the south lol
[17:34] spies8gertrude: Ah, New York!
[17:34] spies8gertrude: My homestate!
[17:34] spies8savannah: oh really??
[17:35] spies8savannah: where from =)
[17:35] spies8gertrude: Oh, not the city, unfortunately. I'm from upstate New York.
[17:35] spies8gertrude: Rochester, to be exact.
[17:37] spies8savannah: oh cool!
[17:37] spies8savannah: what do you do?
[17:37] spies8gertrude: Well, this past year I taught 11th and 12th grade AP English
[17:38] spies8savannah: oh fun! english is always interesting
[17:38] spies8gertrude: I enjoy it!
[17:38] spies8savannah: what is your favorite novel =)
[17:38] spies8gertrude: One moment, sorry!
[17:43] spies8gertrude: Sorry, I've returned
[17:44] spies8savannah: yay :-)
[17:44] spies8gertrude: My favorite novel would have to be (not very original, I admit) Pride and Prejudice.
[17:44] spies8savannah: oh thats a good book =)
[17:44] spies8gertrude: Isn't it?
[17:45] spies8savannah: yeah so much better than the movie too!
[17:46] spies8gertrude: Oh, by far. Though I thoroughly enjoy both versions. The BBC, 5 hour one is a little slower-paced but much more accurate than the Keira Knightley version.
[17:47] spies8savannah: i dont think ive seen it :-(
[17:47] spies8gertrude: Oh, haha, it's alright. I'll find a way to forgive you somehow.
[17:47] spies8savannah: =P
[17:48] spies8savannah: id prob want to be an english teacher if not a pastry chef haha
[17:48] spies8savannah: books are so fun
[17:49] spies8gertrude: Ah, well as much as I love the English language, I wouldn't advise you to go into education unless you have a deep passion for it.
[17:49] spies8gertrude: The salary isn't much, unfortunately.
[17:50] spies8savannah: yes that is the sad thing
[17:50] spies8savannah: neither will a pastry chef be
[17:50] spies8savannah: :-(
[17:50] spies8savannah: but i still love it
[17:52] spies8gertrude: Well, that's great!
[17:52] spies8gertrude: Following a passion is always the right move.
[17:53] spies8savannah: def.!
~~~~~~
[23:01] spies8chance: mafia.
[23:02] spies8gertrude: Oh, gee.
[23:02] spies8chance: your partner is mary.
[23:02] spies8gertrude: Oh, bigger gee.
[23:02] spies8chance: sorry. that's how it randomed out to. :-(
[23:03] spies8gertrude: Mary wants Cinnamyn.
[23:04] spies8chance: she's not playing.
[23:04] spies8gertrude: LOL.
[23:04] spies8gertrude: I hate this already.
[23:04] spies8chance: players are jas, brod, cam, gabe, you, mary, owen, and ronny.
[23:05] spies8gertrude: Cam.
[23:05] spies8chance: okay.
[23:05] spies8gertrude: I'm so sorry for the delay!
[23:05] spies8chance: nice shot. :-)
[23:05] spies8chance: and no problem.
[23:06] spies8gertrude: I am a marksman, what can I say?
[23:06] spies8chance: haha. ;-)
[23:06] spies8gertrude: Just call me Allan Quartermain.
[23:06] spies8chance: king solomon's mines, right?
[23:07] spies8chance: isn't it 'quatermain', though?
[23:07] spies8gertrude: You got me.
[23:07] spies8chance: that was a test, wasn't it? :-P
[23:08] spies8gertrude: It may have been.
[23:08] spies8chance: did i pass?
[23:08] spies8gertrude: It wasn't a test, actually, ha. You actually got me.
[23:08] spies8gertrude: I'm hanging my head in shame.
[23:08] spies8chance: point for me. :-P
[23:08] spies8gertrude: Indeed.
[23:09] spies8chance: i'll be keeping score. :-)
[23:09] spies8gertrude: Oh, gosh.
[23:09] spies8gertrude: That's a bit of pressure.
[23:09] spies8chance: people do their best under a bit of pressure.
[23:21] spies8gertrude: Rondrak.
[23:21] spies8chance: noted.
[23:23] spies8chance: again, nice shot.
[23:23] spies8chance: has mary been helping you at all?
[23:24] spies8gertrude: Lol.
[23:24] spies8gertrude: The chat
[23:24] spies8gertrude: Should answer that.
[23:24] spies8chance: hahaha.
[23:31] spies8gertrude: And she's bussing me entirely.
[23:31] spies8gertrude: And doing a hell of a job at it.
[23:32] spies8chance: good or bad hell? :-P
[23:32] spies8gertrude: Good for her.
[23:32] spies8gertrude: Bad for me.
[23:32] spies8chance: yeah, that's true.
[23:50] spies8gertrude: You are a mafia!
[23:51] spies8gertrude: Camilla is your partner
[23:51] spies8chance: awesome.
[23:52] spies8chance: kill - brod.
[23:53] spies8gertrude: Ok!
[00:04] spies8gertrude: Kill?
[00:04] spies8chance: ugh. quandary.
[00:04] spies8gertrude: Oh?
[00:04] spies8chance: yes.
[00:04] spies8gertrude: Did you CC doc?
[00:05] spies8chance: yes I did.
[00:05] spies8chance: I was actually the first to claim it.
[00:05] spies8gertrude: That sounds unfortunate.
[00:05] spies8chance: so i know who the doc and cop both are...
[00:05] spies8chance: but i'm not sure i can kill the cop because the other doc might be on her.
[00:05] spies8chance: bah.
[00:05] spies8gertrude: Who's cop?
[00:05] spies8chance: can't kill jas.
[00:06] spies8chance: themba.
[00:06] spies8gertrude: and who's doc?
[00:06] spies8chance: i've gotta go for her.
[00:06] spies8chance: jas.
[00:06] spies8chance: kill themba.
[00:06] spies8chance: maybe i'll be lucky.
[00:06] spies8gertrude: Killing Themba?
[00:06] spies8chance: yes.
[00:06] spies8gertrude: Ok!
~~~~~
[23:52] spies8jenny: Any interesting thoughts on people so far?
[23:55] spies8gertrude: hey, i'm sorry, i'd love to talk about that
[23:55] spies8gertrude: But unfortunately I'm hosting the mini mafia game right now
[23:55] spies8gertrude: And it's hard to focus on both!
[23:55] spies8gertrude: But I will get back with you!
[23:55] spies8jenny: Okies, talk to me when it's done I guess!
[00:16] spies8gertrude: Ok, I'm done
[00:26] spies8jenny: so what do you think?
[00:34] spies8gertrude: Ack!
[00:34] spies8gertrude: I'm so sorry
[00:34] spies8gertrude: I got lost in a book.
[00:34] spies8jenny:
[00:35] spies8gertrude: Well, hm..
[00:35] spies8gertrude: I'm not too sure.
[00:35] spies8gertrude: I've only talked to a few people one on one
[00:36] spies8jenny: So not much yet I guess?
[00:36] spies8gertrude: Well...
[00:36] spies8gertrude: I dunno. I'm a tad new to this
[00:36] spies8gertrude: I've never played forum mafia before. So, I'm not too sure what to be looking for
[00:40] spies8jenny: That's ok, just look for the same kind of things really.

[19:45] spies8gertrude: Oh, Rondak!
[19:45] spies8rondak: Greetings!
[19:45] spies8gertrude: It looks like you have a flair for fantasy.
[19:45] spies8gertrude: I think I'm going to love you.
[19:45] spies8rondak: Fantasy?
[19:45] spies8gertrude: Well
[19:45] spies8rondak: Kind words, young lass.
[19:46] spies8gertrude: Myths.
[19:46] spies8rondak: I'm not sure if I quite understand you.
[19:46] spies8rondak: But I am very glad to engage any or all of your fantasies.
[19:46] spies8gertrude: Oh my.
[19:46] spies8rondak: I'm sorry, I've had a few Dragon Smiles. I'm feeling a bit naughty.
[19:47] spies8rondak: How are you?
[19:47] spies8gertrude: It's quite alright! Wine is bottled poetry, they always say
[19:48] spies8gertrude: Oh, I'm fine. A bit relieved that the school year is over, and all my grades are sent in!
[19:48] spies8gertrude: Only two of my seniors failed my class, which is encouraging.
[19:48] spies8rondak: Ah, school, yes. I barely passed the Wizard Academy, myself.
[19:49] spies8rondak: But, as they say, there is a difference between Book smarts and Saddle smarts.
[19:49] spies8rondak: You are a teacher, I take it?
[19:49] spies8gertrude: I am, indeed,
[19:50] spies8gertrude: of literature and English.
[19:50] spies8rondak: Literature! Splendid!
[19:50] spies8rondak: What is your favorite book, may I ask?
[19:50] spies8gertrude: It's a guilty pleasure. Pride and Prejudice.
[19:51] spies8rondak: *laughs*
[19:51] spies8gertrude: I try to model my life like Elizabeth.
[19:51] spies8rondak: I think I saw that one coming.
[19:51] spies8gertrude: She's such a strong woman.
[19:51] spies8rondak: Of course, I'm sure you could guess what mine is.
[19:51] spies8gertrude: Yes, yes. It's not a very original answer.
[19:51] spies8gertrude: Beowulf?
[19:51] spies8gertrude: Harry Potter?
[19:51] spies8rondak: *sad trombone*
[19:51] spies8gertrude: Wait.
[19:51] spies8gertrude: I shall guess.
[19:51] spies8rondak: I'll give you one more shot.
[19:52] spies8gertrude: Hint, though.
[19:52] spies8rondak: You shall not pass.
[19:52] spies8gertrude: Of course.
[19:52] spies8gertrude: You threw me off with Wizard Academt.
[19:52] spies8gertrude: Academy*
[19:52] spies8gertrude: Oh my, a typo.
[19:52] spies8gertrude: I'm so, so sorry.
[19:52] spies8rondak: Gandalf is one of my favorite characters, I modeled Ronda-- uhh.. myself, after him.
[19:53] spies8rondak: And I may have just gave you the answer away.
[19:53] spies8gertrude: Oh, well it was obvious.
[19:53] spies8gertrude: I'm just trying to decide which of the three you'd like most.
[19:54] spies8gertrude: I'm going to say The Two Towers. Never before in a trilogy have I seen two volumes - the beginning and the end - connected so fabulously as I have in LoTR.
[19:54] spies8rondak: Hm.
[19:55] spies8gertrude: Either that or Return of the King for the battles.
[19:55] spies8rondak: Well, we have to keep a bit of mystery in our relationship.
[19:55] spies8rondak: So I'll let you fantasize about that for a few days.
[19:55] spies8gertrude: Oh, how coy of you.
[19:55] spies8rondak: They do call me Rondak the Coy, sometimes.
[19:56] spies8rondak: What can I say? I'm a fan of wenches. Preferably human mages.
[19:56] spies8gertrude: Mages?
[19:56] spies8rondak: Yes, yes. Mages.
[19:56] spies8gertrude: I do believe they're either wizards or sorcerers.
[19:57] spies8rondak: Ha.
[19:57] spies8rondak: Well, most mages go by just that, mages. Revealing your alignment is not... opportune, in most situations.
[19:58] spies8rondak: I can't imagine how many times I've been saddled by a few drunk goblins who've tried to tease it out of me.
[19:58] spies8gertrude: Ah, see, I have much to learn from you.
[19:59] spies8gertrude: I was under the impression that wizardry/sorcery didn't have anything to do with alignment.
[19:59] spies8gertrude: A few of my ex-boyfriends were very devoted to "D&D"
[19:59] spies8rondak: It depends on what rul-- world, you live in.
[19:59] spies8rondak: D&D, hm? What's that?
[20:00] spies8gertrude: I'm not sure if I should answer that question.
[20:00] spies8gertrude: Does the Forgotten Realms ring a bell?
[20:01] spies8rondak: I've heard of it, yes, but only in stories from a few drunk halflings meandering into the Blue Face.
[20:01] spies8rondak: What is it? Do you know how to find it?!
[20:02] spies8gertrude: Unfortunately, I don't.
[20:02] spies8gertrude: I spend most of my time in the Victorian era.
[20:03] spies8rondak: *laughs*
[20:03] spies8rondak: And what ruleset do you use for that one?
[20:03] spies8rondak: ;-)
[20:03] spies8gertrude: I'm sure it's a D20 of some sort.
[20:03] spies8rondak: *nods*
[20:04] spies8rondak: I saw a few people playing a D20 World War 2 campaign a couple days ago.
[20:04] spies8rondak: Looked fascinating, but I was too busy organizing Hello Kitty memorabilia.
[20:05] spies8gertrude: Ah.
[20:05] spies8gertrude: I suppose duty knocks on the door at inopportune times every once in a while.
[20:06] spies8rondak: Yes, yes. I once had to fight off a pack of wolves while me and a few dwarf friends were pounding ale.
[20:09] spies8gertrude: Sounds... daunting.
[20:09] spies8rondak: It is.
[20:09] spies8rondak: Similar to facing this crowd of people, actually.
[20:10] spies8gertrude: Ach. You have no idea.
[20:10] spies8gertrude: The grammar of some of them..
[20:10] spies8gertrude: It breaks my heart.
[20:10] spies8rondak: Ha. Reprehensible.
[20:10] spies8rondak: I'm hoping this division miraculously lands good grammar vs. bad grammar.
[20:11] spies8rondak: I've had a few lucky saving throws before, maybe I'll get one more.
[20:11] spies8gertrude: I would praise Kord for you if that were to happen.
[20:11] spies8rondak: *laughs*
[20:11] spies8rondak: Indeed.
[20:15] spies8gertrude: I would've gone with ogre.
[20:15] spies8rondak: I was being sarcastic.
[20:15] spies8gertrude: I got that!
[20:15] spies8gertrude: I know what piety is >.>
[20:16] spies8rondak: Haha. Of course.
[20:16] spies8rondak: Many apologies, lass.
[20:16] spies8gertrude: I suppose I can forgive you.
[20:17] spies8rondak: Thanks. I was going to have to resort to a potion if not.
[20:18] spies8gertrude: Unfortunately, my friend, I'm going to have to bid thee farewell for now. I'll be back for the show tonight though!
[20:18] spies8rondak: It was a true pleasure meeting you.
[20:18] spies8rondak: I hope that this adventure goes splendid.
[20:18] spies8gertrude: I can honestly say the same to you!
[20:19] spies8rondak: I know. Because I slipped you a truth serum about 20 minutes ago.
[20:19] spies8gertrude: Sly bastard.
[20:19] spies8rondak: I shall see you tonight.
[20:19] spies8gertrude: You shall!
[20:19] spies8rondak: They don't call me Rondak the Sly for nothing.
[21:23] spies8rondak: Lass, I think I got your icebreaker.
[21:24] spies8gertrude: I believe I got yours.
[21:24] spies8rondak: Wonderful.
[21:25] spies8gertrude: Is that how it works, we trade?
[21:25] spies8rondak: *nods*
[21:25] spies8rondak: Seems that way, doesn't it? Extraordinarily lucky roll to get yours, considering you are the only one I've talked to individually.
[21:26] spies8gertrude: Haha, rolled a natural 20
[21:26] spies8rondak: *laughs*
[21:26] spies8rondak: Everyone is -deadly- serious, it appears.
[21:26] spies8gertrude: Oops.
[21:26] spies8rondak: I was serious, of course.
[21:27] spies8gertrude: My response was, too.
[21:27] spies8rondak: I'm glad you were earnest. I was too, for yours.
[21:28] spies8gertrude: Well, I've learned from Oscar Wilde the importance of being earnest, no?
[21:28] spies8rondak: Indeed, indeed.
[22:03] spies8gertrude: You typed, good sir.
[22:03] spies8rondak: *nods*
[22:03] spies8rondak: I am waiting on teams to begin conversating individually with these adventurers.
[22:03] spies8gertrude: Ah, tossing me aside to see if I'll ripen, then, eh?
[22:04] spies8rondak: And consequentially I have nothing to do except look over my spellbook.
[22:04] spies8rondak: So, I came crawling back like a one-legged halfling to you.
[22:06] spies8gertrude: Aw.
[22:06] spies8gertrude: Shane just posted that we're probably not going to be teammates.
[22:07] spies8rondak: Shane?
[22:07] spies8gertrude: Chance.
[22:07] spies8gertrude: My apologies.
[22:07] spies8rondak: I begrudgingly accept.
[22:07] spies8gertrude: Shane is the name of a human. Chance is the name of a dog.
[22:07] spies8gertrude: Or familiar of the magical kind.
[22:07] spies8rondak: I cried during that mo- what, again?
[22:08] spies8gertrude: It's a classic.
[22:08] spies8gertrude: I don't blame you.
[22:08] spies8rondak: Ha.
[22:08] spies8rondak: *smiles and looks away*
[22:08] spies8rondak: Anyways, my alignment is chaotic good.
[22:10] spies8gertrude: Mine is most likely neutral good.
[22:10] spies8gertrude: I try to stay lawful, but I can definitely be a bit deviant.
[22:10] spies8rondak: Respectable, lass.
[22:11] spies8rondak: I sometimes get out of chara- mind, and become a little bit .. human.. hence the chaoticness.
[22:11] spies8gertrude: Right, right.
[23:11] spies8rondak: So, is this a ploy to investigate play styles?
[23:11] spies8rondak: *laughs*
[23:11] spies8gertrude: It seems so.
[23:11] spies8rondak: I was sort of joking.
[23:12] spies8rondak: But, thirty gold to em' -- as the saying goes.
[23:12] spies8gertrude: That it does.
[23:19] spies8gertrude: You want the hammer?
[23:19] spies8gertrude: I'm scared
[23:19] spies8rondak: The what?
[23:19] spies8gertrude: Oh, nevermind.
[23:39] spies8gertrude: I apologize for killing you!
[23:39] spies8gertrude: I just knew you were the doctor, that's all.
[23:39] spies8rondak: Friendship over.
[23:39] spies8gertrude: Aw.
[23:40] spies8gertrude: Surely you've gotten -10 hp before.
[23:40] spies8rondak: I feel like I've been hit in the heart with a magic missile.
[23:41] spies8gertrude: Well, at least they can't be a critical hit?
[23:42] spies8rondak: I failed my saving throw.
[23:42] spies8gertrude: I honestly don't think you get a savings throw for Magic Missile.
[23:42] spies8gertrude: I think they always hit.
[23:43] spies8gertrude: saving*
[23:43] spies8rondak: May I remind you who the mage is.
[23:43] spies8gertrude: That is true.
[23:46] spies8gertrude: Play again?
[23:46] spies8rondak: No, thank you, ma'am.
[23:46] spies8gertrude: Aw.
[23:47] spies8gertrude: Ok.

[00:56] spies8cory: Gertrude. What's happening?
[00:56] spies8gertrude: Hey hey, Cory.
[00:57] spies8gertrude: Not too much is happening.
[00:57] spies8gertrude: Anything with you?
[00:57] spies8cory: I'm sitting on my ass talking to people on the internets.
[00:57] spies8gertrude: That's always enjoyable.
[00:57] spies8cory: Some interesting, some not. Some slow witted, a few sharp.
[00:58] spies8cory: Which category do you fall into?
[00:59] spies8gertrude: Sharp, non-interesting, I believe, unfortunately.
[00:59] spies8cory: Non-interesting!?
[01:00] spies8gertrude: Wellll.
[01:00] spies8gertrude: Yes?
[01:00] spies8cory: So what do you do with your time?
[01:00] spies8gertrude: Throughout the summer?
[01:00] spies8cory: In general.
[01:00] spies8gertrude: I love to read.
[01:01] spies8gertrude: Also...
[01:01] spies8gertrude: I like animals, and I have a guilty pleasure for ice cream and reality TV
[01:01] spies8gertrude: often together.
[01:02] spies8gertrude: Yourself?
[01:02] spies8cory: I like to red history and philosophy. I like politics and debate.
[01:02] spies8cory: I'm a lifeguard at a pool, hate my job
[01:02] spies8cory: Want to be a lawyer
[01:03] spies8gertrude: Ooh.
[01:04] spies8gertrude: What type or lawyer?
[01:04] spies8gertrude: of*
[01:05] spies8cory: Prosecutor
[01:05] spies8cory: To match wits in the court room would be astounding.
[01:06] spies8gertrude: Ah, a debater!
[01:06] spies8gertrude: I sense you'll have a few matches of wit in the Burg in the coming weeks, no?
[01:08] spies8cory: Lol, probably
[01:08] spies8cory: Idiocy is an unending war
[01:09] spies8gertrude: Hah.
[01:11] spies8gertrude: Tragic, but essentially true.
[01:12] spies8cory: So, you personally, how do you look for Spies?
[01:12] spies8cory: And I'm asking this of everyone.
[01:12] spies8cory: Because I intend to hold them to it.
[01:12] spies8gertrude: Ooh, that's a fabulous question.
[01:13] spies8gertrude: I wish I had an answer for you at the moment. But, this is my first experience in searching for Spies, so I think my answer will probably morph throughout the game.
[01:13] spies8gertrude: But, I guess I'd say this
[01:14] spies8gertrude: One thing that I've seen constantly in little mafia games I've played
[01:14] spies8gertrude: Is that scum often acts confused.
[01:14] spies8cory: Yeah?
[01:14] spies8cory: You mean they fake it.
[01:15] spies8gertrude: I'm not sure if this is a common theory or not
[01:15] spies8gertrude: Act, fake, yes.
[01:15] spies8gertrude: Synonyms.
[01:15] spies8cory: I'd say that's a fair thing to say
[01:15] spies8cory: Though do you think citizens are genuinely confused?
[01:15] spies8cory: Or, a better question, if someone gives off the vibe of being confused, are they more likely to be a citizen or a spy?
[01:16] spies8gertrude: Hm..
[01:17] spies8gertrude: I guess I'd say neither, though that sounds hypocritical.
[01:17] spies8gertrude: I guess you can't blame someone to be confused once or twice
[01:18] spies8gertrude: But someone consistently dazed
[01:18] spies8gertrude: would be more likely to be mafia.
[01:18] spies8cory: Yeah. It's all probabilities.
[01:18] spies8gertrude: Yeah.
[01:19] spies8cory: The question always comes down to, "which is more likely?"
[01:19] spies8gertrude: I hope to never tunnel on people. Please inform me if I ever do.
[01:19] spies8cory: Rarely is anything straightforward.
[01:19] spies8cory: Lol, sometimes it's not the wrong thing to do.
[01:19] spies8gertrude: Well, I saw last season.
[01:20] spies8gertrude: And I know that a lot of people (or at least Julia) tunneled on Buthayna
[01:20] spies8gertrude: Who ended up not being a Spy.
[01:21] spies8cory: Yeah. Well, I guess what you say is true. Tunneling suggests you aren't looking elsewhere.
[01:21] spies8cory: You always should consider alternatives.
[01:22] spies8gertrude: Right!
[01:22] spies8gertrude: When I play Survivor, I try to keep my options open.
[01:22] spies8gertrude: The same I hope to hold true for Spies.
[01:25] spies8gertrude: Y'know?
[01:26] spies8cory: Yeah I get you.
[01:26] spies8cory: Well so far I have no clue who the Spies are, Lol.
[01:26] spies8cory: But I'm getting preliminary reads right now.
[01:26] spies8gertrude: Well, that's not surprising in the least. I don't either.
[01:26] spies8cory: Which is more to assess how each person plays
[01:28] spies8gertrude: I got that.
[01:28] spies8gertrude: How's that coming?
[01:30] spies8cory: Eh, decently.
[01:30] spies8cory: I've still probably talked to fewer than half the cast.
[01:30] spies8gertrude: Ha, that's much better than me.
[01:30] spies8cory: Who all have you chatted up so far?
[01:31] spies8gertrude: Well, when I got on this afternoon, I spoke with Savannah, Jenny, and Lilith
[01:32] spies8gertrude: But they were really superficial.
[01:33] spies8gertrude: Then, later, I spoke with Chance during the mini mafia game a bit
[01:33] spies8gertrude: and Rondak
[01:33] spies8cory: So me, Rondak, Chance.
[01:33] spies8cory: Just us three?
[01:33] spies8gertrude: And Jenny once again
[01:33] spies8cory: And the others this afternoon
[01:34] spies8gertrude: Yup.
[01:35] spies8gertrude: I was really expecting teams to be up earlier
[01:35] spies8gertrude: So I would know specifically who to talk to.
[01:35] spies8cory: I wonder if we'll be forbidden to speak with anyone on the other team.
[01:35] spies8gertrude: We will be.
[01:36] spies8gertrude: I'm sure I read that somewhere.
[01:36] spies8cory: That might make things easier. But also slightly more boring, Lol
[01:36] spies8gertrude: Lemme see if I can find that.
[01:37] spies8gertrude: This will help a lot because do you really want to individually chat with 29 new people? Getting to know 14 others is a much more manageable task, though its still quite a bit.
[01:37] spies8gertrude: I guess I didn't read it.
[01:37] spies8gertrude: So maybe I'm wrong.
[01:37] spies8cory: We'll see.
[01:37] spies8cory: I'm sure we'll find out tomorrow.
[01:37] spies8gertrude: Indeed
[01:37] spies8gertrude: I believe we shall.
[01:43] spies8gertrude: Cory, I'm sorry
[01:43] spies8gertrude: I find myself to be nodding off
[01:45] spies8cory: Lol.
[01:45] spies8cory: It's fine.
[01:45] spies8cory: Heading out?
[01:45] spies8gertrude: Probably.
[01:45] spies8gertrude: Would you hate me if I did?
[01:45] spies8cory: Nope.
[01:45] spies8cory: It's fine
[01:53] spies8gertrude: Alrighty
[01:53] spies8gertrude: Considering I really did just fall asleep
[01:53] spies8gertrude: I think I should go.
[01:53] spies8cory: Yep. Good sign
[01:53] spies8gertrude: It was nice chatting with you, Cory!
[01:53] spies8cory: See you around!
[01:54] spies8gertrude: Adieu!
[17:27] spies8gertrude: Hello there, Savannah! Please, feel free to call me Gerty or Gert, I have an ugly enough name as it is!
[17:27] spies8savannah: awww i like it
[17:27] spies8savannah: i like old fashioned names =)
[17:27] spies8savannah: but gerty sounds cute =)
[17:27] spies8gertrude: A flair for the Victorian, eh? Me too!
[17:28] spies8gertrude: However, I'm don't really approve of my namesakes in literature
[17:28] spies8gertrude: Shakespeare's Gertrude was so dependent, it was a shame.
[17:28] spies8gertrude: But I digress!
[17:28] Meebo Message: Could not IM buddy
[17:28] spies8gertrude: Oh, it appears a message has failed to send.
[17:29] spies8gertrude: [17:28] spies8gertrude: However, I'm don't really approve of my namesakes in literature
[17:28] spies8gertrude: Shakespeare's Gertrude was so dependent, it was a shame.
[17:28] spies8gertrude: But I digress!
[17:28] Meebo Message: Could not IM buddy
[17:28] spies8gertrude: Oh, it appears a message has failed to send.
[17:31] spies8savannah: meebo is stupid!
[17:31] spies8savannah: well shakespeare can suck it :-)
[17:31] spies8savannah: you seem like a very nice gertrude =)
[17:31] spies8gertrude: Well, thank you!
[17:32] spies8gertrude: You seem pleasant yourself!
[17:32] spies8savannah: aww thanks =)
[17:32] spies8savannah: i try :-)
[17:32] spies8gertrude: So, what's your story?
[17:32] spies8savannah: well im adopted
[17:32] spies8savannah: and soon i will own my own bakery
[17:32] spies8savannah: !
:-)
[17:33] spies8gertrude: Oh, that sounds marvelous!
[17:33] spies8savannah: yes! all sorts of yummy treats =)
[17:33] spies8savannah: and hopefully live in new york!
[17:33] spies8savannah: i need to get out of the south lol
[17:34] spies8gertrude: Ah, New York!
[17:34] spies8gertrude: My homestate!
[17:34] spies8savannah: oh really??
[17:35] spies8savannah: where from =)
[17:35] spies8gertrude: Oh, not the city, unfortunately. I'm from upstate New York.
[17:35] spies8gertrude: Rochester, to be exact.
[17:37] spies8savannah: oh cool!
[17:37] spies8savannah: what do you do?
[17:37] spies8gertrude: Well, this past year I taught 11th and 12th grade AP English
[17:38] spies8savannah: oh fun! english is always interesting
[17:38] spies8gertrude: I enjoy it!
[17:38] spies8savannah: what is your favorite novel =)
[17:38] spies8gertrude: One moment, sorry!
[17:43] spies8gertrude: Sorry, I've returned
[17:44] spies8savannah: yay :-)
[17:44] spies8gertrude: My favorite novel would have to be (not very original, I admit) Pride and Prejudice.
[17:44] spies8savannah: oh thats a good book =)
[17:44] spies8gertrude: Isn't it?
[17:45] spies8savannah: yeah so much better than the movie too!
[17:46] spies8gertrude: Oh, by far. Though I thoroughly enjoy both versions. The BBC, 5 hour one is a little slower-paced but much more accurate than the Keira Knightley version.
[17:47] spies8savannah: i dont think ive seen it :-(
[17:47] spies8gertrude: Oh, haha, it's alright. I'll find a way to forgive you somehow.
[17:47] spies8savannah: =P
[17:48] spies8savannah: id prob want to be an english teacher if not a pastry chef haha
[17:48] spies8savannah: books are so fun
[17:49] spies8gertrude: Ah, well as much as I love the English language, I wouldn't advise you to go into education unless you have a deep passion for it.
[17:49] spies8gertrude: The salary isn't much, unfortunately.
[17:50] spies8savannah: yes that is the sad thing
[17:50] spies8savannah: neither will a pastry chef be
[17:50] spies8savannah: :-(
[17:50] spies8savannah: but i still love it
[17:52] spies8gertrude: Well, that's great!
[17:52] spies8gertrude: Following a passion is always the right move.
[17:53] spies8savannah: def.!
~~~~~~
[23:01] spies8chance: mafia.
[23:02] spies8gertrude: Oh, gee.
[23:02] spies8chance: your partner is mary.
[23:02] spies8gertrude: Oh, bigger gee.
[23:02] spies8chance: sorry. that's how it randomed out to. :-(
[23:03] spies8gertrude: Mary wants Cinnamyn.
[23:04] spies8chance: she's not playing.
[23:04] spies8gertrude: LOL.
[23:04] spies8gertrude: I hate this already.
[23:04] spies8chance: players are jas, brod, cam, gabe, you, mary, owen, and ronny.
[23:05] spies8gertrude: Cam.
[23:05] spies8chance: okay.
[23:05] spies8gertrude: I'm so sorry for the delay!
[23:05] spies8chance: nice shot. :-)
[23:05] spies8chance: and no problem.
[23:06] spies8gertrude: I am a marksman, what can I say?
[23:06] spies8chance: haha. ;-)
[23:06] spies8gertrude: Just call me Allan Quartermain.
[23:06] spies8chance: king solomon's mines, right?
[23:07] spies8chance: isn't it 'quatermain', though?
[23:07] spies8gertrude: You got me.
[23:07] spies8chance: that was a test, wasn't it? :-P
[23:08] spies8gertrude: It may have been.
[23:08] spies8chance: did i pass?
[23:08] spies8gertrude: It wasn't a test, actually, ha. You actually got me.
[23:08] spies8gertrude: I'm hanging my head in shame.
[23:08] spies8chance: point for me. :-P
[23:08] spies8gertrude: Indeed.
[23:09] spies8chance: i'll be keeping score. :-)
[23:09] spies8gertrude: Oh, gosh.
[23:09] spies8gertrude: That's a bit of pressure.
[23:09] spies8chance: people do their best under a bit of pressure.
[23:21] spies8gertrude: Rondrak.
[23:21] spies8chance: noted.
[23:23] spies8chance: again, nice shot.
[23:23] spies8chance: has mary been helping you at all?
[23:24] spies8gertrude: Lol.
[23:24] spies8gertrude: The chat
[23:24] spies8gertrude: Should answer that.
[23:24] spies8chance: hahaha.
[23:31] spies8gertrude: And she's bussing me entirely.
[23:31] spies8gertrude: And doing a hell of a job at it.
[23:32] spies8chance: good or bad hell? :-P
[23:32] spies8gertrude: Good for her.
[23:32] spies8gertrude: Bad for me.
[23:32] spies8chance: yeah, that's true.
[23:50] spies8gertrude: You are a mafia!
[23:51] spies8gertrude: Camilla is your partner
[23:51] spies8chance: awesome.
[23:52] spies8chance: kill - brod.
[23:53] spies8gertrude: Ok!
[00:04] spies8gertrude: Kill?
[00:04] spies8chance: ugh. quandary.
[00:04] spies8gertrude: Oh?
[00:04] spies8chance: yes.
[00:04] spies8gertrude: Did you CC doc?
[00:05] spies8chance: yes I did.
[00:05] spies8chance: I was actually the first to claim it.
[00:05] spies8gertrude: That sounds unfortunate.
[00:05] spies8chance: so i know who the doc and cop both are...
[00:05] spies8chance: but i'm not sure i can kill the cop because the other doc might be on her.
[00:05] spies8chance: bah.
[00:05] spies8gertrude: Who's cop?
[00:05] spies8chance: can't kill jas.
[00:06] spies8chance: themba.
[00:06] spies8gertrude: and who's doc?
[00:06] spies8chance: i've gotta go for her.
[00:06] spies8chance: jas.
[00:06] spies8chance: kill themba.
[00:06] spies8chance: maybe i'll be lucky.
[00:06] spies8gertrude: Killing Themba?
[00:06] spies8chance: yes.
[00:06] spies8gertrude: Ok!
~~~~~
[23:52] spies8jenny: Any interesting thoughts on people so far?
[23:55] spies8gertrude: hey, i'm sorry, i'd love to talk about that
[23:55] spies8gertrude: But unfortunately I'm hosting the mini mafia game right now
[23:55] spies8gertrude: And it's hard to focus on both!
[23:55] spies8gertrude: But I will get back with you!
[23:55] spies8jenny: Okies, talk to me when it's done I guess!
[00:16] spies8gertrude: Ok, I'm done
[00:26] spies8jenny: so what do you think?
[00:34] spies8gertrude: Ack!
[00:34] spies8gertrude: I'm so sorry
[00:34] spies8gertrude: I got lost in a book.
[00:34] spies8jenny:
[00:35] spies8gertrude: Well, hm..
[00:35] spies8gertrude: I'm not too sure.
[00:35] spies8gertrude: I've only talked to a few people one on one
[00:36] spies8jenny: So not much yet I guess?
[00:36] spies8gertrude: Well...
[00:36] spies8gertrude: I dunno. I'm a tad new to this
[00:36] spies8gertrude: I've never played forum mafia before. So, I'm not too sure what to be looking for
[00:40] spies8jenny: That's ok, just look for the same kind of things really.
~~~~~~~
[19:45] spies8gertrude: Oh, Rondak!
[19:45] spies8rondak: Greetings!
[19:45] spies8gertrude: It looks like you have a flair for fantasy.
[19:45] spies8gertrude: I think I'm going to love you.
[19:45] spies8rondak: Fantasy?
[19:45] spies8gertrude: Well
[19:45] spies8rondak: Kind words, young lass.
[19:46] spies8gertrude: Myths.
[19:46] spies8rondak: I'm not sure if I quite understand you.
[19:46] spies8rondak: But I am very glad to engage any or all of your fantasies.
[19:46] spies8gertrude: Oh my.
[19:46] spies8rondak: I'm sorry, I've had a few Dragon Smiles. I'm feeling a bit naughty.
[19:47] spies8rondak: How are you?
[19:47] spies8gertrude: It's quite alright! Wine is bottled poetry, they always say
[19:48] spies8gertrude: Oh, I'm fine. A bit relieved that the school year is over, and all my grades are sent in!
[19:48] spies8gertrude: Only two of my seniors failed my class, which is encouraging.
[19:48] spies8rondak: Ah, school, yes. I barely passed the Wizard Academy, myself.
[19:49] spies8rondak: But, as they say, there is a difference between Book smarts and Saddle smarts.
[19:49] spies8rondak: You are a teacher, I take it?
[19:49] spies8gertrude: I am, indeed,
[19:50] spies8gertrude: of literature and English.
[19:50] spies8rondak: Literature! Splendid!
[19:50] spies8rondak: What is your favorite book, may I ask?
[19:50] spies8gertrude: It's a guilty pleasure. Pride and Prejudice.
[19:51] spies8rondak: *laughs*
[19:51] spies8gertrude: I try to model my life like Elizabeth.
[19:51] spies8rondak: I think I saw that one coming.
[19:51] spies8gertrude: She's such a strong woman.
[19:51] spies8rondak: Of course, I'm sure you could guess what mine is.
[19:51] spies8gertrude: Yes, yes. It's not a very original answer.
[19:51] spies8gertrude: Beowulf?
[19:51] spies8gertrude: Harry Potter?
[19:51] spies8rondak: *sad trombone*
[19:51] spies8gertrude: Wait.
[19:51] spies8gertrude: I shall guess.
[19:51] spies8rondak: I'll give you one more shot.
[19:52] spies8gertrude: Hint, though.
[19:52] spies8rondak: You shall not pass.
[19:52] spies8gertrude: Of course.
[19:52] spies8gertrude: You threw me off with Wizard Academt.
[19:52] spies8gertrude: Academy*
[19:52] spies8gertrude: Oh my, a typo.
[19:52] spies8gertrude: I'm so, so sorry.
[19:52] spies8rondak: Gandalf is one of my favorite characters, I modeled Ronda-- uhh.. myself, after him.
[19:53] spies8rondak: And I may have just gave you the answer away.
[19:53] spies8gertrude: Oh, well it was obvious.
[19:53] spies8gertrude: I'm just trying to decide which of the three you'd like most.
[19:54] spies8gertrude: I'm going to say The Two Towers. Never before in a trilogy have I seen two volumes - the beginning and the end - connected so fabulously as I have in LoTR.
[19:54] spies8rondak: Hm.
[19:55] spies8gertrude: Either that or Return of the King for the battles.
[19:55] spies8rondak: Well, we have to keep a bit of mystery in our relationship.
[19:55] spies8rondak: So I'll let you fantasize about that for a few days.
[19:55] spies8gertrude: Oh, how coy of you.
[19:55] spies8rondak: They do call me Rondak the Coy, sometimes.
[19:56] spies8rondak: What can I say? I'm a fan of wenches. Preferably human mages.
[19:56] spies8gertrude: Mages?
[19:56] spies8rondak: Yes, yes. Mages.
[19:56] spies8gertrude: I do believe they're either wizards or sorcerers.
[19:57] spies8rondak: Ha.
[19:57] spies8rondak: Well, most mages go by just that, mages. Revealing your alignment is not... opportune, in most situations.
[19:58] spies8rondak: I can't imagine how many times I've been saddled by a few drunk goblins who've tried to tease it out of me.
[19:58] spies8gertrude: Ah, see, I have much to learn from you.
[19:59] spies8gertrude: I was under the impression that wizardry/sorcery didn't have anything to do with alignment.
[19:59] spies8gertrude: A few of my ex-boyfriends were very devoted to "D&D"
[19:59] spies8rondak: It depends on what rul-- world, you live in.
[19:59] spies8rondak: D&D, hm? What's that?
[20:00] spies8gertrude: I'm not sure if I should answer that question.
[20:00] spies8gertrude: Does the Forgotten Realms ring a bell?
[20:01] spies8rondak: I've heard of it, yes, but only in stories from a few drunk halflings meandering into the Blue Face.
[20:01] spies8rondak: What is it? Do you know how to find it?!
[20:02] spies8gertrude: Unfortunately, I don't.
[20:02] spies8gertrude: I spend most of my time in the Victorian era.
[20:03] spies8rondak: *laughs*
[20:03] spies8rondak: And what ruleset do you use for that one?
[20:03] spies8rondak: ;-)
[20:03] spies8gertrude: I'm sure it's a D20 of some sort.
[20:03] spies8rondak: *nods*
[20:04] spies8rondak: I saw a few people playing a D20 World War 2 campaign a couple days ago.
[20:04] spies8rondak: Looked fascinating, but I was too busy organizing Hello Kitty memorabilia.
[20:05] spies8gertrude: Ah.
[20:05] spies8gertrude: I suppose duty knocks on the door at inopportune times every once in a while.
[20:06] spies8rondak: Yes, yes. I once had to fight off a pack of wolves while me and a few dwarf friends were pounding ale.
[20:09] spies8gertrude: Sounds... daunting.
[20:09] spies8rondak: It is.
[20:09] spies8rondak: Similar to facing this crowd of people, actually.
[20:10] spies8gertrude: Ach. You have no idea.
[20:10] spies8gertrude: The grammar of some of them..
[20:10] spies8gertrude: It breaks my heart.
[20:10] spies8rondak: Ha. Reprehensible.
[20:10] spies8rondak: I'm hoping this division miraculously lands good grammar vs. bad grammar.
[20:11] spies8rondak: I've had a few lucky saving throws before, maybe I'll get one more.
[20:11] spies8gertrude: I would praise Kord for you if that were to happen.
[20:11] spies8rondak: *laughs*
[20:11] spies8rondak: Indeed.
[20:15] spies8gertrude: I would've gone with ogre.
[20:15] spies8rondak: I was being sarcastic.
[20:15] spies8gertrude: I got that!
[20:15] spies8gertrude: I know what piety is >.>
[20:16] spies8rondak: Haha. Of course.
[20:16] spies8rondak: Many apologies, lass.
[20:16] spies8gertrude: I suppose I can forgive you.
[20:17] spies8rondak: Thanks. I was going to have to resort to a potion if not.
[20:18] spies8gertrude: Unfortunately, my friend, I'm going to have to bid thee farewell for now. I'll be back for the show tonight though!
[20:18] spies8rondak: It was a true pleasure meeting you.
[20:18] spies8rondak: I hope that this adventure goes splendid.
[20:18] spies8gertrude: I can honestly say the same to you!
[20:19] spies8rondak: I know. Because I slipped you a truth serum about 20 minutes ago.
[20:19] spies8gertrude: Sly bastard.
[20:19] spies8rondak: I shall see you tonight.
[20:19] spies8gertrude: You shall!
[20:19] spies8rondak: They don't call me Rondak the Sly for nothing.
[21:23] spies8rondak: Lass, I think I got your icebreaker.
[21:24] spies8gertrude: I believe I got yours.
[21:24] spies8rondak: Wonderful.
[21:25] spies8gertrude: Is that how it works, we trade?
[21:25] spies8rondak: *nods*
[21:25] spies8rondak: Seems that way, doesn't it? Extraordinarily lucky roll to get yours, considering you are the only one I've talked to individually.
[21:26] spies8gertrude: Haha, rolled a natural 20
[21:26] spies8rondak: *laughs*
[21:26] spies8rondak: Everyone is -deadly- serious, it appears.
[21:26] spies8gertrude: Oops.
[21:26] spies8rondak: I was serious, of course.
[21:27] spies8gertrude: My response was, too.
[21:27] spies8rondak: I'm glad you were earnest. I was too, for yours.
[21:28] spies8gertrude: Well, I've learned from Oscar Wilde the importance of being earnest, no?
[21:28] spies8rondak: Indeed, indeed.
[22:03] spies8gertrude: You typed, good sir.
[22:03] spies8rondak: *nods*
[22:03] spies8rondak: I am waiting on teams to begin conversating individually with these adventurers.
[22:03] spies8gertrude: Ah, tossing me aside to see if I'll ripen, then, eh?
[22:04] spies8rondak: And consequentially I have nothing to do except look over my spellbook.
[22:04] spies8rondak: So, I came crawling back like a one-legged halfling to you.
[22:06] spies8gertrude: Aw.
[22:06] spies8gertrude: Shane just posted that we're probably not going to be teammates.
[22:07] spies8rondak: Shane?
[22:07] spies8gertrude: Chance.
[22:07] spies8gertrude: My apologies.
[22:07] spies8rondak: I begrudgingly accept.
[22:07] spies8gertrude: Shane is the name of a human. Chance is the name of a dog.
[22:07] spies8gertrude: Or familiar of the magical kind.
[22:07] spies8rondak: I cried during that mo- what, again?
[22:08] spies8gertrude: It's a classic.
[22:08] spies8gertrude: I don't blame you.
[22:08] spies8rondak: Ha.
[22:08] spies8rondak: *smiles and looks away*
[22:08] spies8rondak: Anyways, my alignment is chaotic good.
[22:10] spies8gertrude: Mine is most likely neutral good.
[22:10] spies8gertrude: I try to stay lawful, but I can definitely be a bit deviant.
[22:10] spies8rondak: Respectable, lass.
[22:11] spies8rondak: I sometimes get out of chara- mind, and become a little bit .. human.. hence the chaoticness.
[22:11] spies8gertrude: Right, right.
[23:11] spies8rondak: So, is this a ploy to investigate play styles?
[23:11] spies8rondak: *laughs*
[23:11] spies8gertrude: It seems so.
[23:11] spies8rondak: I was sort of joking.
[23:12] spies8rondak: But, thirty gold to em' -- as the saying goes.
[23:12] spies8gertrude: That it does.
[23:19] spies8gertrude: You want the hammer?
[23:19] spies8gertrude: I'm scared
[23:19] spies8rondak: The what?
[23:19] spies8gertrude: Oh, nevermind.
[23:39] spies8gertrude: I apologize for killing you!
[23:39] spies8gertrude: I just knew you were the doctor, that's all.
[23:39] spies8rondak: Friendship over.
[23:39] spies8gertrude: Aw.
[23:40] spies8gertrude: Surely you've gotten -10 hp before.
[23:40] spies8rondak: I feel like I've been hit in the heart with a magic missile.
[23:41] spies8gertrude: Well, at least they can't be a critical hit?
[23:42] spies8rondak: I failed my saving throw.
[23:42] spies8gertrude: I honestly don't think you get a savings throw for Magic Missile.
[23:42] spies8gertrude: I think they always hit.
[23:43] spies8gertrude: saving*
[23:43] spies8rondak: May I remind you who the mage is.
[23:43] spies8gertrude: That is true.
[23:46] spies8gertrude: Play again?
[23:46] spies8rondak: No, thank you, ma'am.
[23:46] spies8gertrude: Aw.
[23:47] spies8gertrude: Ok.

[00:56] spies8cory: Gertrude. What's happening?
[00:56] spies8gertrude: Hey hey, Cory.
[00:57] spies8gertrude: Not too much is happening.
[00:57] spies8gertrude: Anything with you?
[00:57] spies8cory: I'm sitting on my ass talking to people on the internets.
[00:57] spies8gertrude: That's always enjoyable.
[00:57] spies8cory: Some interesting, some not. Some slow witted, a few sharp.
[00:58] spies8cory: Which category do you fall into?
[00:59] spies8gertrude: Sharp, non-interesting, I believe, unfortunately.
[00:59] spies8cory: Non-interesting!?
[01:00] spies8gertrude: Wellll.
[01:00] spies8gertrude: Yes?
[01:00] spies8cory: So what do you do with your time?
[01:00] spies8gertrude: Throughout the summer?
[01:00] spies8cory: In general.
[01:00] spies8gertrude: I love to read.
[01:01] spies8gertrude: Also...
[01:01] spies8gertrude: I like animals, and I have a guilty pleasure for ice cream and reality TV
[01:01] spies8gertrude: often together.
[01:02] spies8gertrude: Yourself?
[01:02] spies8cory: I like to red history and philosophy. I like politics and debate.
[01:02] spies8cory: I'm a lifeguard at a pool, hate my job
[01:02] spies8cory: Want to be a lawyer
[01:03] spies8gertrude: Ooh.
[01:04] spies8gertrude: What type or lawyer?
[01:04] spies8gertrude: of*
[01:05] spies8cory: Prosecutor
[01:05] spies8cory: To match wits in the court room would be astounding.
[01:06] spies8gertrude: Ah, a debater!
[01:06] spies8gertrude: I sense you'll have a few matches of wit in the Burg in the coming weeks, no?
[01:08] spies8cory: Lol, probably
[01:08] spies8cory: Idiocy is an unending war
[01:09] spies8gertrude: Hah.
[01:11] spies8gertrude: Tragic, but essentially true.
[01:12] spies8cory: So, you personally, how do you look for Spies?
[01:12] spies8cory: And I'm asking this of everyone.
[01:12] spies8cory: Because I intend to hold them to it.
[01:12] spies8gertrude: Ooh, that's a fabulous question.
[01:13] spies8gertrude: I wish I had an answer for you at the moment. But, this is my first experience in searching for Spies, so I think my answer will probably morph throughout the game.
[01:13] spies8gertrude: But, I guess I'd say this
[01:14] spies8gertrude: One thing that I've seen constantly in little mafia games I've played
[01:14] spies8gertrude: Is that scum often acts confused.
[01:14] spies8cory: Yeah?
[01:14] spies8cory: You mean they fake it.
[01:15] spies8gertrude: I'm not sure if this is a common theory or not
[01:15] spies8gertrude: Act, fake, yes.
[01:15] spies8gertrude: Synonyms.
[01:15] spies8cory: I'd say that's a fair thing to say
[01:15] spies8cory: Though do you think citizens are genuinely confused?
[01:15] spies8cory: Or, a better question, if someone gives off the vibe of being confused, are they more likely to be a citizen or a spy?
[01:16] spies8gertrude: Hm..
[01:17] spies8gertrude: I guess I'd say neither, though that sounds hypocritical.
[01:17] spies8gertrude: I guess you can't blame someone to be confused once or twice
[01:18] spies8gertrude: But someone consistently dazed
[01:18] spies8gertrude: would be more likely to be mafia.
[01:18] spies8cory: Yeah. It's all probabilities.
[01:18] spies8gertrude: Yeah.
[01:19] spies8cory: The question always comes down to, "which is more likely?"
[01:19] spies8gertrude: I hope to never tunnel on people. Please inform me if I ever do.
[01:19] spies8cory: Rarely is anything straightforward.
[01:19] spies8cory: Lol, sometimes it's not the wrong thing to do.
[01:19] spies8gertrude: Well, I saw last season.
[01:20] spies8gertrude: And I know that a lot of people (or at least Julia) tunneled on Buthayna
[01:20] spies8gertrude: Who ended up not being a Spy.
[01:21] spies8cory: Yeah. Well, I guess what you say is true. Tunneling suggests you aren't looking elsewhere.
[01:21] spies8cory: You always should consider alternatives.
[01:22] spies8gertrude: Right!
[01:22] spies8gertrude: When I play Survivor, I try to keep my options open.
[01:22] spies8gertrude: The same I hope to hold true for Spies.
[01:25] spies8gertrude: Y'know?
[01:26] spies8cory: Yeah I get you.
[01:26] spies8cory: Well so far I have no clue who the Spies are, Lol.
[01:26] spies8cory: But I'm getting preliminary reads right now.
[01:26] spies8gertrude: Well, that's not surprising in the least. I don't either.
[01:26] spies8cory: Which is more to assess how each person plays
[01:28] spies8gertrude: I got that.
[01:28] spies8gertrude: How's that coming?
[01:30] spies8cory: Eh, decently.
[01:30] spies8cory: I've still probably talked to fewer than half the cast.
[01:30] spies8gertrude: Ha, that's much better than me.
[01:30] spies8cory: Who all have you chatted up so far?
[01:31] spies8gertrude: Well, when I got on this afternoon, I spoke with Savannah, Jenny, and Lilith
[01:32] spies8gertrude: But they were really superficial.
[01:33] spies8gertrude: Then, later, I spoke with Chance during the mini mafia game a bit
[01:33] spies8gertrude: and Rondak
[01:33] spies8cory: So me, Rondak, Chance.
[01:33] spies8cory: Just us three?
[01:33] spies8gertrude: And Jenny once again
[01:33] spies8cory: And the others this afternoon
[01:34] spies8gertrude: Yup.
[01:35] spies8gertrude: I was really expecting teams to be up earlier
[01:35] spies8gertrude: So I would know specifically who to talk to.
[01:35] spies8cory: I wonder if we'll be forbidden to speak with anyone on the other team.
[01:35] spies8gertrude: We will be.
[01:36] spies8gertrude: I'm sure I read that somewhere.
[01:36] spies8cory: That might make things easier. But also slightly more boring, Lol
[01:36] spies8gertrude: Lemme see if I can find that.
[01:37] spies8gertrude: This will help a lot because do you really want to individually chat with 29 new people? Getting to know 14 others is a much more manageable task, though its still quite a bit.
[01:37] spies8gertrude: I guess I didn't read it.
[01:37] spies8gertrude: So maybe I'm wrong.
[01:37] spies8cory: We'll see.
[01:37] spies8cory: I'm sure we'll find out tomorrow.
[01:37] spies8gertrude: Indeed
[01:37] spies8gertrude: I believe we shall.
[01:43] spies8gertrude: Cory, I'm sorry
[01:43] spies8gertrude: I find myself to be nodding off
[01:45] spies8cory: Lol.
[01:45] spies8cory: It's fine.
[01:45] spies8cory: Heading out?
[01:45] spies8gertrude: Probably.
[01:45] spies8gertrude: Would you hate me if I did?
[01:45] spies8cory: Nope.
[01:45] spies8cory: It's fine
[01:53] spies8gertrude: Alrighty
[01:53] spies8gertrude: Considering I really did just fall asleep
[01:53] spies8gertrude: I think I should go.
[01:53] spies8cory: Yep. Good sign
[01:53] spies8gertrude: It was nice chatting with you, Cory!
[01:53] spies8cory: See you around!
[01:54] spies8gertrude: Adieu!
