Just getting to know people:

Conversation with spies8tina at 6/16/2010 10:24:12 PM on spies8stephanie (aim)
(10:24:17 PM) spies8stephanie: hey tina
(10:24:39 PM) spies8tina: Hello. That group chat is uncomfortable.
(10:24:52 PM) spies8tina: Have a hard time wording thoughts fast, so I get lost in it.
(10:24:55 PM) spies8stephanie: yea i can't keep up with it, but i keep trying
(10:25:33 PM) spies8stephanie: and it seems everytime i say something it just gets ignored
(10:25:49 PM) spies8stephanie: so other than that how is the game treating you so far?
(10:25:55 PM) spies8tina: Yes. It is a bad setting for me that chat.
(10:26:11 PM) spies8tina: Good I guess. Actually have time to chat for the first time since early this morning.
(10:26:27 PM) spies8stephanie: that's good
(10:27:06 PM) spies8stephanie: i've only talked to maybe half a dozen people so far
(10:27:23 PM) spies8stephanie: and probably all of them will be on ther other team
(10:27:25 PM) spies8tina: I have not gotten to talk to anyone since I recieved my role.
(10:28:05 PM) spies8tina: Also everyone using terms and stuff I am not familiar with that much.
(10:28:42 PM) spies8stephanie: hmmm i haven't had that problem
(10:28:45 PM) spies8stephanie: what terms?
(10:28:50 PM) spies8tina: Actually am having to spend time looking at other games.
(10:29:11 PM) spies8tina: Only played this with a small group of people before, and not online.
(10:29:38 PM) spies8stephanie: of course, i do miss half of what cinnamyn says cause i don;t get all of her abbreviations
(10:29:41 PM) spies8tina: Most seem to be things that I recognize the meaning of but not the word.
(10:29:58 PM) spies8tina: Yeah, Im thinking that will be a case of role playing getting in the way of effectiveness.
(10:30:03 PM) spies8stephanie: what is her BB?
(10:30:12 PM) spies8tina: Zero clue.
(10:30:16 PM) spies8stephanie: darn
(10:33:02 PM) spies8stephanie: so tell me about you...where are you from?
(10:33:37 PM) spies8tina: California. Hoping that later tonight there will be less people online so I can enter a comfort zone.
(10:34:17 PM) spies8stephanie: hehe i'm not sure anyone actually enters a comfort zone in these games
(10:34:30 PM) spies8stephanie: especially on day 1
(10:34:37 PM) spies8tina: At least something where I am comfortable talking to other people.
(10:34:49 PM) spies8tina: Large groups of people and me do not work together.
(10:35:23 PM) spies8stephanie: and what do you do in california?
(10:35:47 PM) spies8tina: Mail carrier, good outdoors job. Stuck in the office this week though.
(10:36:05 PM) spies8stephanie: that sounds like a cool job
(10:36:15 PM) spies8stephanie: good benefits i bet
(10:36:36 PM) spies8tina: It is nice. Has benifits, both personal and real if that makes any sense.
(10:37:47 PM) spies8stephanie: i hope you're not like those mail carriers that i see on 60 minutes that just go eat doughnuts and throw the mail away
(10:38:25 PM) spies8tina: No. I use routes as more of a warm-up run type thing. Definantly do not do doughnuts.
(10:38:43 PM) spies8stephanie: ohhh... i love doughnuts
(10:38:59 PM) spies8tina: I am used to not eating any of that stuff anymore.
(10:39:29 PM) spies8tina: One thing im wondering is how long untill this game finally gets serious.
(10:39:31 PM) spies8stephanie: i still eat junk, but keep thinking that it's going to start catching up with me
(10:39:43 PM) spies8stephanie: oh i think it's serious now
(10:39:46 PM) spies8tina: Just thinking, there is going to be a lot of fun theory.
(10:40:11 PM) spies8tina: Mostly with respect to the bribe thing, as thats an anti-town vs spy debate timebomb.
(10:40:36 PM) spies8stephanie: yeah i have no clue how the bribe thing is going to work
(10:40:57 PM) spies8tina: It is directly against town win condition to take a bribe to start, but I would image half of these people decide to take it for some reason.
(10:41:21 PM) spies8stephanie: really, and i can't imagine that anyone would take a bribe
(10:41:31 PM) spies8stephanie: maybe i am just way too naive
(10:41:38 PM) spies8tina: I mean, if it was possible to just get everyone to say there is no way they would, it would be best.
(10:41:51 PM) spies8tina: However there is no way to really do a good job inforcing that.
(10:42:05 PM) spies8stephanie: yeah everyone might say it
(10:42:25 PM) spies8tina: Even if you made everyone sign a "take a bribe get exiled" pact it would not work.
(10:42:48 PM) spies8tina: People would say "why would I do that as spy" regardless of what they were
(10:42:52 PM) spies8stephanie: do you think we will know when someone takes a bribe?
(10:42:57 PM) spies8stephanie: i'm thinking not
(10:43:25 PM) spies8tina: Yeah I would expect we arent told, maybe effects would be noticeable though.
(10:43:50 PM) spies8stephanie: cause i would certainly be in favor of exiling people who took bribes
(10:44:16 PM) spies8tina: I think more would need to be considered
(10:44:45 PM) spies8tina: While its a very stupid move, it would by no ways outweigh all other actions.
(10:45:13 PM) spies8tina: Just one of those small things to keep a close eye on in the long run.
(10:45:57 PM) spies8stephanie: yeah, and the small things always seem to escape my notice
(10:46:06 PM) spies8tina: Also I am sure the mod has set this up so that its hard to tell alignment from the bribe. Especially if it isnt publically noticeable.
(10:46:29 PM) spies8tina: Want to try a big chat game?
(10:46:43 PM) spies8tina: They are trying to get one going.
(10:46:47 PM) spies8stephanie: i've been watching sort of
(10:47:12 PM) spies8stephanie: go for it
(10:47:52 PM) spies8tina: I can see how all my studying of some old games pays off.
(10:49:46 PM) spies8stephanie: you are braver than i am

Conversation with spies8rondak at 6/16/2010 9:45:08 PM on spies8stephanie (aim)
(9:45:14 PM) spies8stephanie: hey rondak
(9:45:28 PM) spies8rondak: Greetings, Stephanie!
(9:45:30 PM) spies8rondak: How are you?
(9:45:37 PM) spies8stephanie: i am good
(9:45:44 PM) spies8rondak: Fantastic.
(9:45:45 PM) spies8stephanie: a little nervous
(9:45:52 PM) spies8rondak: Sufficiently overwhelmed?
(9:45:57 PM) spies8stephanie: YES
(9:46:02 PM) spies8rondak: Same here, ma'am.
(9:46:19 PM) spies8rondak: I have yet to talk to people individually. Simply waiting on teams.
(9:46:41 PM) spies8stephanie: yeah 29 is a lot of people to talk to
(9:46:52 PM) spies8rondak: Indeed. These teams will narrow it down, fortunately.
(9:46:58 PM) spies8stephanie: if we can get down to 14 it would be better
(9:47:06 PM) spies8rondak: Ha. Yes.
(9:47:21 PM) spies8stephanie: what kind of name is rondak
(9:47:25 PM) spies8rondak: Elvish.
(9:47:26 PM) spies8stephanie: i know rons
(9:47:32 PM) spies8stephanie: i know ronalds
(9:47:38 PM) spies8stephanie: but no rondaks
(9:47:49 PM) spies8rondak: Ha. Well, do you know many elves?
(9:47:57 PM) spies8stephanie: no
(9:48:02 PM) spies8stephanie: can't say that i do
(9:48:07 PM) spies8rondak: Well, now you know one.
(9:48:21 PM) spies8stephanie: well that's exciting
(9:48:24 PM) spies8rondak: My parents -- Kerwyn and Orianna named me after a old magician.
(9:48:39 PM) spies8rondak: Little did they know I would grow up to become a mage. *chuckles* Fitting, now, really.
(9:48:46 PM) spies8rondak: And how did you get your name?
(9:49:05 PM) spies8stephanie: my parents just liked it
(9:49:25 PM) spies8stephanie: my middle name, Lisa, is from my great-grandmother tho
(9:49:53 PM) spies8rondak: Ha.
(9:50:08 PM) spies8rondak: That's pleasant enough, isn't it?
(9:50:45 PM) spies8rondak: Sorry, a bit overwhelmed, looking at the game mechanics and such.
(9:50:49 PM) spies8stephanie: yea, i guess it's pleasant enough to have rather ordinary names
(9:51:09 PM) spies8rondak: Rondak is fairly ordinary for elves, though.
(9:51:14 PM) spies8rondak: I know three others.
(9:51:17 PM) spies8stephanie: wow
(9:51:43 PM) spies8stephanie: just like when i was in kindergarten and there were 2 other stephanies
(9:51:48 PM) spies8stephanie: who knew?
(9:52:28 PM) spies8rondak: Indeed!
(9:52:55 PM) spies8rondak: I'd give ten gold just for teams to be up now.
(9:54:16 PM) spies8stephanie: hehe me too, but unfortunately i don't have ten gold
(9:54:39 PM) spies8rondak: Ha. I can lend you some, the Blue Face nets a few hundred a night.
(9:56:56 PM) spies8stephanie: Blue Face?
(9:57:01 PM) spies8rondak: It's my bar.
(9:57:18 PM) spies8rondak: And Inn, as well.
(9:57:59 PM) spies8stephanie: sounds neat, where is it?
(9:58:31 PM) spies8rondak: Outside of Knathelos.
(9:58:40 PM) spies8rondak: You'll have to stop by after we finish this little adventure.
(9:59:23 PM) spies8stephanie: definitely
(9:59:57 PM) spies8rondak: You should play the game in the chatroom, lass.
(10:00:46 PM) spies8stephanie: oh... i haven't been keeping up with what's going on there
(10:01:59 PM) spies8rondak: Ha.
(10:02:27 PM) spies8stephanie: ha?
(10:02:36 PM) spies8rondak: Chance is running a game of mafia.
(10:02:40 PM) spies8rondak: In the chat.
(10:02:58 PM) spies8stephanie: ok i see it's night
(10:03:05 PM) spies8stephanie: are you spy or cit?
(10:03:06 PM) spies8rondak: I'm the doctor.
(10:03:10 PM) spies8stephanie: cool
(10:03:14 PM) spies8rondak: Not sure what it does.
(10:03:23 PM) spies8stephanie: protects someone
(10:03:31 PM) spies8rondak: Thank you, lass.
(10:03:33 PM) spies8stephanie: doesn't it?
(10:03:50 PM) spies8stephanie: send chance a im of who you want to protect
(10:03:52 PM) spies8rondak: Just confirmed.
(10:04:05 PM) spies8stephanie: yourself if possible
(10:04:46 PM) spies8rondak: Sadly, I cannot.
(10:08:39 PM) spies8rondak: This is odd and confusing.
(10:08:49 PM) spies8stephanie: yea
(10:08:58 PM) spies8rondak: I feel like, honestly, it could be a ploy to investigate playing styles.
(10:09:48 PM) spies8rondak: *laughs* Merely joking, of course.
(10:10:04 PM) spies8stephanie: no, i think you are absolutely correct
(10:10:13 PM) spies8rondak: Ha. Really?
(10:10:16 PM) spies8stephanie: yes
(10:10:21 PM) spies8rondak: I didn't think people would be playing that early.
(10:10:49 PM) spies8stephanie: not that anyone is really going to be able to discern very much
(10:10:54 PM) spies8stephanie: but they might want to try
(10:10:57 PM) spies8rondak: Well.
(10:11:06 PM) spies8rondak: *nods*
(10:19:58 PM) spies8stephanie: it doesn't llok like chance saw your vote
(10:20:11 PM) spies8rondak: Indeed.
(10:20:15 PM) spies8rondak: I'm really confused.
(10:20:21 PM) spies8stephanie: vote again
(10:20:38 PM) spies8stephanie: oops
(10:21:43 PM) spies8stephanie: oh good grief
(10:21:49 PM) spies8stephanie: picky picky
(10:22:34 PM) spies8stephanie: oh no!
(10:22:44 PM) spies8rondak: That was weird.
(10:22:49 PM) spies8rondak: Ha. I didn't really like it.
(10:23:20 PM) spies8stephanie: spoiler: mary is mafia
(10:23:26 PM) spies8stephanie: i don't know who else
(10:23:30 PM) spies8rondak: Ha.
(10:29:30 PM) spies8rondak: It's probably Gertrude.
(10:30:36 PM) spies8stephanie: mary is voting gertie?
(10:31:11 PM) spies8rondak: Oh.
(10:31:13 PM) spies8rondak: Nevermind.
(10:31:14 PM) spies8rondak: lol.
(10:31:33 PM) spies8stephanie: could be she is bussing...
(10:31:41 PM) spies8rondak: Hm?
(10:31:46 PM) spies8stephanie: that might be a tell that people are looking for
(10:31:59 PM) spies8stephanie: in the bigger sense
(10:31:59 PM) spies8rondak: Sorry, what is bussing?
(10:32:07 PM) spies8stephanie: voting a fellow spy
(10:32:14 PM) spies8stephanie: throwing them under the bus
(10:32:19 PM) spies8rondak: Oh, right.
(10:37:59 PM) spies8rondak: I told you, lass.
(10:37:59 PM) spies8stephanie: ahhh
(10:38:06 PM) spies8stephanie: mary is a busser
(10:38:13 PM) spies8rondak: Ha.
(10:38:22 PM) spies8stephanie: we can learn something from the game in a game
(10:38:42 PM) spies8rondak: That's exactly what I was thinking.
(10:39:05 PM) spies8rondak: Really interesting. Even if I knew how to play, I don't think I would like some of them did.

Jenny's funny.
Conversation with spies8jenny at 6/16/2010 10:37:32 AM on spies8stephanie (aim)
(10:37:44 AM) spies8stephanie: hey jenny
(10:37:51 AM) spies8jenny: Hey there Stephykins!
(10:38:24 AM) spies8stephanie: i can't wait for the game to begin
(10:38:45 AM) spies8stephanie: i haven't seen anyone else online, have you?
(10:38:49 AM) spies8jenny: I know, it's going to be exciting!
(10:39:09 AM) spies8jenny: Brodericky is on right now
(10:39:36 AM) spies8jenny: I guess I should say broderick.
(10:39:53 AM) spies8jenny: But Brodericky sounds nicer.
(10:40:00 AM) spies8stephanie:
(10:40:33 AM) spies8jenny: Nobody else yet though.
(10:41:50 AM) spies8stephanie: 30 people is a lot to get to know
(10:41:56 AM) spies8stephanie: even 15 is a lot
(10:42:03 AM) spies8jenny: 29 really.
(10:42:07 AM) spies8stephanie: so i was hoping to start early
(10:42:13 AM) spies8jenny: You don't need to get to know yourself!
(10:42:34 AM) spies8stephanie: hehe i guess that's true
(10:43:07 AM) spies8jenny: Unless you're one of those indian hippie people on a dream quest.
(10:44:02 AM) spies8jenny: Then I guess it would be 30.
(10:44:36 AM) spies8stephanie: well, since i'm neither an indian nor a hippie, i guess i'll go with 29
(10:45:27 AM) spies8jenny: So what did you do before the great revolt? I was a court stenographer. I'm hoping to use those skills for when we're all in a group together to keep track of things.
(10:45:53 AM) spies8stephanie: exterminator
(10:46:08 AM) spies8stephanie: killing pests
(10:46:19 AM) spies8jenny: Like little brothers?
(10:46:24 AM) spies8stephanie: i guess those skills might be useful now in a weird way
(10:46:34 AM) spies8stephanie: mostly roaches, ants, mice, rats
(10:46:54 AM) spies8jenny: Just don't exterminate me please. (lol)
(10:47:17 AM) spies8stephanie: hehe just don't become a pest and you'll be ok
(10:49:35 AM) spies8jenny: I remember one time at stenographer camp, we were having to practice our shorthand by having this really fast talker come in and say a lot of things for us. Well part way through, he sees this giant bat that flew in and started screaming over it. We have about 43 official records of him screaming like a little girl over a bat now!
(10:50:12 AM) spies8stephanie: **spitting coffee**
(10:50:42 AM) spies8stephanie: stenographer camp?!? bats?>!?
(10:50:46 AM) spies8stephanie: that's too funny


(9:25:41 PM) spies8jenny: Hi there Stephi-kin!
(9:25:53 PM) spies8stephanie: hey jenny
(9:32:30 PM) spies8stephanie: what are you making of the game so far?
(9:32:44 PM) spies8jenny: Crazy stuff. Trying to get reads on people and stuff.
(9:33:02 PM) spies8stephanie: got any reads yet?
(9:33:37 PM) spies8jenny: Not really, still trying to get in contact with everyone.
(9:35:07 PM) spies8stephanie: i haven't a clue yet, but i think your stenographer camp story was the funniest thing i've heard so far
(9:35:26 PM) spies8jenny:

Well it's more entertaining to say then "law school classes"
(9:37:18 PM) spies8stephanie: i really can't read anything jasmine says
(9:37:44 PM) spies8jenny: How come? Just crazy stuff?
(9:38:00 PM) spies8stephanie: no, it's that black and magenta font
(9:38:11 PM) spies8jenny: It looks purple to me
(9:38:22 PM) spies8stephanie: ok, black and purple
(9:38:38 PM) spies8stephanie: boy you really are a stickler
(9:38:46 PM) spies8jenny: I'd ask her about it then. Doesn't really bother me, but it'd be good to have everyone be able to read it.
(9:38:55 PM) spies8stephanie: it's 29 people i need to get to know and not 30
(9:38:59 PM) spies8jenny: Worked in a courtroom remember?
(9:39:03 PM) spies8stephanie: and it's purple..not magenta
(9:39:07 PM) spies8jenny: It probably rubbed off.
(9:39:15 PM) spies8jenny: Stupid lawyers.
(9:40:20 PM) spies8stephanie: hehe
(9:40:27 PM) spies8stephanie: got my glasses
(9:40:31 PM) spies8jenny: Yaay!
(9:40:35 PM) spies8stephanie: i can read iwth my glasses
(9:41:44 PM) spies8jenny: That is a good thing.

During the Zeke interrogation...
Conversation with spies8jenny at 6/17/2010 7:35:30 PM on spies8stephanie (aim)
(7:35:30 PM) spies8jenny: No group chat?
(7:35:48 PM) spies8stephanie: just a little trouble i'm back
(7:35:52 PM) spies8jenny:
(7:35:57 PM) spies8stephanie: thanks for invite
(7:36:02 PM) spies8jenny: You're welcome!
(8:17:43 PM) spies8stephanie: this is fun
(8:17:55 PM) spies8jenny:
(8:18:31 PM) spies8stephanie: is there some significance to what zeke was doing though?
(8:18:40 PM) spies8stephanie: i'm just not getting it
(8:19:01 PM) spies8stephanie: or are we just seeing how he responds under a little pressure?
(8:22:06 PM) spies8jenny: Well he told me last night, a couple hours after roles went out, that he hadn't talked with anyone since roles went out.
(8:22:39 PM) spies8jenny: Maybe he was just busy, but it seems weird he wouldn't talk with anyone at all, unless he was really talking with a spy team and didn't exactly want to tell people about it.
(8:22:52 PM) spies8jenny: Could go either way though, and I figure it'd be good to at least ask about it.
(8:23:00 PM) spies8stephanie: ahhh -- well i am an idiot
(8:23:09 PM) spies8stephanie: talkign with the spy team
(8:23:27 PM) spies8stephanie: i get it now
(8:46:26 PM) spies8stephanie: has zeke gone into full panic mode?
(8:46:34 PM) spies8jenny: I just have no idea now.
(8:47:22 PM) spies8stephanie: i'm feeling sorry for him, but he's sure looking guilty

Conversation with spies8tina at 6/17/2010 8:29:11 PM on spies8stephanie (aim)
(8:29:11 PM) spies8tina: Hey.
(8:29:20 PM) spies8stephanie: hey tina!
(8:29:34 PM) spies8tina: What exactly are you thinking about all of this going on.
(8:29:54 PM) spies8tina: I want to let it run it's own course a bit, but it seems like no one else is thinking what I am.
(8:30:10 PM) spies8stephanie: well i'm not sure why we're grilling zeke
(8:30:31 PM) spies8stephanie: but he sure doesn't seem to be making much sense
(8:30:40 PM) spies8stephanie: what are you thinking?
(8:30:52 PM) spies8tina: Well, someone noticed he was on for a few hours after roles and was not talking with others.
(8:31:03 PM) spies8tina: So people are asking what he was doing instead.
(8:31:32 PM) spies8stephanie: he sure seems to be evading if not outright lieing
(8:31:41 PM) spies8tina: Honestly Alexei is bugging me more than Zek is to start at least.
(8:32:15 PM) spies8stephanie: rly? i haven't talked to alex enough to get a feeling for him
(8:32:17 PM) spies8tina: He seems unable to come to a clear conclusion.
(8:32:48 PM) spies8stephanie: oh with the zeke questions, he's bugging you
(8:32:55 PM) spies8tina: spies8alexei 6:24 pm
I think there is no reson for him not to talk, judging by what I heard
(8:32:58 PM) spies8tina: spies8alexei 6:25 pm
either way, I think it's suspicious
(8:33:08 PM) spies8tina:
spies8alexei 6:25 pm
I'm saying I believe him, but there is no reason not to talk to us
(8:33:18 PM) spies8tina: Those three just do not mesh well to me.
(8:33:43 PM) spies8tina: Especially where he says that Zek is suspicious, but he believes that he was doing other things.
(8:34:36 PM) spies8stephanie: maybe alex's just trying to be diplomatic when he was he believes him??
(8:35:18 PM) spies8tina: I am all for civility. This just seems like he has set himself up to vote Zek or vote someone else
(8:36:01 PM) spies8stephanie: yea, jenny is the one who originally asked the question
(8:36:12 PM) spies8stephanie: and alex seems like an opportunist
(8:36:32 PM) spies8stephanie: trying to find a bandwagon
(8:36:38 PM) spies8tina: Maybe not opportunist, but he is playing in such a way that he is not blocking any possible moves later.
(8:37:06 PM) spies8tina: At this point he can easily vote for Zek, or vote for anyone else. He isnt making much of an attempt to lock himself into anything.
(8:37:20 PM) spies8stephanie: i feel sorry for zeke
(8:37:55 PM) spies8tina: Well, I guess its a lesson in not staying logged on, but I do not think he is a spy for this.
(8:38:50 PM) spies8stephanie: this is scary
(8:39:01 PM) spies8stephanie: i thought jen was smart and with it
(8:39:17 PM) spies8stephanie: and now she's having conversations she doesn't remember?
(8:39:42 PM) spies8tina: I try not to do anything online that is trackable when I get tired for that reason.
(8:39:57 PM) spies8tina: She does seem to know what she is doing though.
(8:41:16 PM) spies8stephanie: i;ll need to reread all of this
(8:41:33 PM) spies8stephanie: but i'm thinking zeke does look spyish
(8:41:47 PM) spies8stephanie: because it looks to me like he lied in there somewhere
(8:42:00 PM) spies8stephanie: but i got confused
(8:42:30 PM) spies8tina: I think he is making this far to complicated to be a lie.
(8:42:46 PM) spies8stephanie: hehe -- you could be right
(8:43:11 PM) spies8tina: Just "watched a movie and forgot to sign out" works much better.
(8:44:27 PM) spies8stephanie: i feel sorry for him because being interrogated like this is hard
(8:44:37 PM) spies8stephanie: whether you are cit or spy
(8:45:09 PM) spies8stephanie: he seems to be panicking a little bit
(8:47:33 PM) spies8tina: I just do not know. Either way I will go back through all this later and read what he said in isolation.
(8:47:45 PM) spies8tina: First instinct says he is town though.
(8:48:18 PM) spies8stephanie: it's certainly not conclusive
(8:48:57 PM) spies8stephanie: but i'm inclined to think even people who tell baby fibs are spies

[Stephanie]

Voicing my Dane suspicions...

No reaction at all from Jen
(8:34:43 PM) spies8stephanie: hey jennikins
(8:35:00 PM) spies8stephanie: i was just re-reading the allan being stupid logs
(8:35:13 PM) spies8jenny: I like that name!
(8:35:31 PM) spies8stephanie: what is your take on dane?
(8:35:40 PM) spies8stephanie: he seemed weird in those chats to me
(8:35:58 PM) spies8jenny: Dane? I don't know yet, I've only had a few minutes o talk to him at any one time.
(8:36:06 PM) spies8stephanie: for instance why is he asking about cory?
(8:36:21 PM) spies8stephanie: it seems odd that he's reading the dems chat
(8:36:28 PM) spies8stephanie: when he's barely here

I guess alex fell hook line sinker:
Conversation with spies8alexei at 6/18/2010 10:24:50 PM on spies8stephanie (aim)
(10:24:55 PM) spies8stephanie: hey alex
(10:25:07 PM) spies8alexei: hello
(10:25:15 PM) spies8stephanie: have you talked to dane?
(10:25:18 PM) spies8alexei: nope
(10:25:23 PM) spies8alexei: is he looking for me?
(10:25:33 PM) spies8stephanie: no, i'm just wondering
(10:25:43 PM) spies8alexei: ok, mind if I ask why?
(10:25:47 PM) spies8stephanie: i've only had one very brief convo with him
(10:25:58 PM) spies8stephanie: and i was reading the allan/nita chats
(10:26:15 PM) spies8stephanie: and he was talking about cory and the democrats
(10:26:23 PM) spies8stephanie: i struck me as off
(10:26:34 PM) spies8alexei: that is off
(10:26:47 PM) spies8alexei: why would he be talking about the democrats?
(10:27:00 PM) spies8stephanie: that's exactly what i am wondering
(10:27:29 PM) spies8alexei: in fact, isn't he not supposed to?
(10:27:33 PM) spies8stephanie: if he were active in our team maybe he might wander over to the other team
(10:27:52 PM) spies8alexei: yeah
(10:27:53 PM) spies8stephanie: and look at their forum
(10:28:03 PM) spies8alexei: but I've never once seen him on
(10:29:16 PM) spies8stephanie: yea i don't think we're supposed to be talking to them, but i think we can look at their forum
(10:29:28 PM) spies8alexei: oh, ok
(10:29:36 PM) spies8stephanie: so it's not against the rules, but why would you
(10:29:43 PM) spies8alexei: still, though, why is he more concentrated on them?
(10:30:02 PM) spies8alexei: we're the ones he's choosing from
(10:30:39 PM) spies8stephanie: my jump-to-conclusion thought is that he has spy buddies over there
(10:30:45 PM) spies8stephanie: that he's worried about
(10:30:51 PM) spies8alexei: makes sense
(10:31:00 PM) spies8alexei: but, there could be something else entirely
(10:31:13 PM) spies8alexei: as with everything thus far...
(10:32:25 PM) spies8stephanie: yea well i can make up any number of reasons
(10:32:30 PM) spies8stephanie: he could be the doc
(10:32:36 PM) spies8stephanie: and wondering who to protect
(10:33:11 PM) spies8alexei: still, definitely seems suspicious enough to warrant concern
(10:34:37 PM) spies8stephanie: and i still haven't talked to allan at all
(10:34:41 PM) spies8alexei: me neither
(10:34:44 PM) spies8alexei: nor dane
(10:34:47 PM) spies8alexei: nor themba
(10:35:36 PM) spies8stephanie: i keep going back and forth on themba
(10:36:39 PM) spies8stephanie: she seems pretty sharp
(10:37:11 PM) spies8stephanie: and she only brought up the no exile as a point of discussion
(10:37:22 PM) spies8alexei: yeah, but, I must say opening no exile up for discussion isn't really that suspicious
(10:37:26 PM) spies8alexei: we, to me, anyway
(10:37:47 PM) spies8stephanie: but i'm not sure about her suspicions of savvy
(10:38:00 PM) spies8alexei: what are they?
(10:38:07 PM) spies8alexei: I haven't talked to her at all
(10:38:55 PM) spies8stephanie: i didn't talk to her about them, but earlier in chat she was reported to have been suspicious of savvy based on her lack of participation
(10:39:08 PM) spies8stephanie: especially during the zeke interrogation
(10:39:23 PM) spies8alexei: hmm
(10:39:30 PM) spies8alexei: sounds like someone else I know
(10:39:45 PM) spies8stephanie: hmm who is that?
(10:39:52 PM) spies8alexei: Tina did the same thing to me
(10:40:35 PM) spies8stephanie: surely not based on a lack of participation
(10:40:42 PM) spies8stephanie: you were all over zeke
(10:40:47 PM) spies8stephanie: like white on rice
(10:40:51 PM) spies8alexei: lol
(10:41:26 PM) spies8stephanie: tina did tell me that she thought it suspicious that you said you believed him
(10:41:37 PM) spies8stephanie: and then you thought he was suspicious
(10:41:45 PM) spies8alexei: I explained that to her
(10:42:21 PM) spies8alexei: and that is mostly what it was, which is understandable, but then she questioned me on the tiniest "lol" I made
(10:42:28 PM) spies8alexei: and I'm not even joking
(10:42:43 PM) spies8stephanie: well zeke was all over the place
(10:43:05 PM) spies8stephanie: it made sense to me that the rest of us might be all over the place in our reactions to him
(10:43:11 PM) spies8alexei: yeah
(10:43:13 PM) spies8alexei: me too
(10:43:17 PM) spies8alexei: apparently not to her
(10:43:52 PM) spies8alexei: she thinks I bandwagoned on the Zeke thing, as someone else told me
(10:44:01 PM) spies8alexei: which is completely ridiculous
(10:44:13 PM) spies8stephanie: yea well you did jump on him pretty hard
(10:44:32 PM) spies8alexei: but, I didn't "bandwagon"
(10:44:55 PM) spies8alexei: the only basis she has for that is that she asked me what I thought of the situation
(10:45:04 PM) spies8alexei: which I responded
(10:45:40 PM) spies8alexei: and besides, I actually think he is villy right now
(10:45:49 PM) spies8alexei: after talking to him one on one
(10:46:07 PM) spies8stephanie: villy? you mean you think he is a spy?
(10:46:19 PM) spies8stephanie: villian or villager?
(10:46:24 PM) spies8alexei: villager
(10:47:10 PM) spies8alexei: it just seemed odd for her to question me on my odd responses when everyone else reacted in very similar ways
(10:48:08 PM) spies8alexei: anyways, I gotta go. it's been a pleasure.
(10:48:20 PM) spies8stephanie: yea
(10:48:22 PM) spies8stephanie: later

Themba and I talk about Jenny's lack of response..
Conversation with spies8themba at 6/18/2010 10:14:50 PM on spies8stephanie (aim)
(10:17:31 PM) spies8stephanie: hey themba
(10:17:57 PM) spies8themba: hey hun. what's news?
(10:18:15 PM) spies8stephanie: did you read the allan/nita chats?
(10:18:47 PM) spies8themba: i brushed over it before, but i need to read it all again now. cause i was half asleep. so i might go and have another look i think.
(10:19:37 PM) spies8stephanie: have you talked to dane much?
(10:19:57 PM) spies8themba: haven't had the pleasure of speaking to him at all yet.
(10:20:47 PM) spies8stephanie: i've only had 1 very brief chat with him
(10:21:14 PM) spies8stephanie: i struck me as odd that he was inquiring about cory and dems
(10:21:24 PM) spies8stephanie: when he's hardly been here
(10:22:27 PM) spies8themba: this is dane? inquiring about cory and dems... who is dems? lol.
(10:22:38 PM) spies8stephanie: democrats
(10:22:43 PM) spies8stephanie: yea
(10:22:52 PM) spies8stephanie: in the allan/nita chats
(10:24:02 PM) spies8themba: hmmm. i need to read it again. savannah's giving me a grilling about my comments about her participation in the group chat, so i'll have another look when she's done :-)
(10:41:45 PM) spies8themba: [16:10] spies8allan: umm i don't know really haha.... that was my polite way of saying i've given in no thought
(10:41:54 PM) spies8themba: do you think that's odd?
(10:42:11 PM) spies8themba: 16:08] spies8nita: What you think?
[16:09] spies8allan: not quite sure... i think i need to talk to a couple of these guys myself
[16:09] spies8nita: Bout what? What sticks out at you?
[16:10] spies8allan: umm i don't know really haha.... that was my polite way of saying i've given in no thought
(10:42:16 PM) spies8themba: better to post a bit more of it :-P
(10:47:12 PM) spies8stephanie: not sure that's so odd
(10:47:31 PM) spies8stephanie: allan hasn't been around enough to know that z is up
(10:47:39 PM) spies8themba: i might have to ask him i think
(10:48:08 PM) spies8stephanie: certainly
(10:50:26 PM) spies8themba: hmmm... why would dane be asking about that? i read somewhere ( i think in the democrats chat ) that nina and awohali said something about chances of all the spies being on the same side to begin with...
(10:50:51 PM) spies8themba: this was after the alliances were announced, but before we were banished from talking to the other half.
(10:51:54 PM) spies8stephanie: i read it in the allan/nita thread
(10:52:02 PM) spies8stephanie: so it was from this afternoon
(10:52:15 PM) spies8stephanie: that dane was talking about the dems
(10:52:45 PM) spies8themba: right. and cory mentioned the nita/awo discussion yesterday i think. still don't see why it affects dane.
(10:53:12 PM) spies8stephanie: yea dane has hardly been here
(10:53:26 PM) spies8stephanie: i'm just wondering why he's asking about the dems
(10:53:36 PM) spies8themba: me too
(10:54:08 PM) spies8themba: he's happy to lynch me for a shitty reason, yet he's done nothing himself. except get drunk. i bet he doesn't even drink irl.
(10:54:41 PM) spies8stephanie: are you talking to jenny?
(10:55:09 PM) spies8themba: nah. just you and savannah. jenny came on before to order me to talk to savannah, but apart from that i haven't really spoken to her today.
(10:55:18 PM) spies8themba: i will brb.
(10:55:22 PM) spies8stephanie: k
(11:01:03 PM) spies8themba: back
(11:01:10 PM) spies8themba: what's jenny up to?
(11:01:17 PM) spies8stephanie: idk
(11:01:28 PM) spies8stephanie: she always says hello and then not much else
(11:01:32 PM) spies8themba: haha you haven't spoken to her?
(11:02:00 PM) spies8themba: she must be doing something - she obv. knows a fair bit about the game, so it'll be interesting to see her thoughts.
(11:02:04 PM) spies8stephanie: yea i told her my suspicions about dane, but she didn't respond
(11:02:30 PM) spies8stephanie: savvy says she's talking to her
(11:02:36 PM) spies8themba: i told her my thoughts on zede, and she couldn't have cared less. and that was after she led the grilling on him.
(11:02:46 PM) spies8stephanie: rly?
(11:02:48 PM) spies8themba: maybe they're discussing me.
(11:03:03 PM) spies8stephanie: when did you talk to her about z?
(11:03:04 PM) spies8themba: yeah i sent her a pm, and she was pretty flippant about it.
(11:03:21 PM) spies8themba: yesterday - when i spoke to you about it i sent her a pm around the same time.
(11:04:47 PM) spies8stephanie: yea it's strange, i had a real conversation with her before we actually started
(11:05:02 PM) spies8stephanie: and since then she's invited me to chats and said hello
(11:05:06 PM) spies8stephanie: but not much else
(11:05:24 PM) spies8themba: me too. i even put in my convos' log something like 'what happened to the personality?'
(11:05:29 PM) spies8themba: interesting you feel the same way.
(11:08:51 PM) spies8stephanie: she's the one that started the whole zeke thing
(11:09:00 PM) spies8themba: yes
(11:09:06 PM) spies8themba: she is
(11:09:12 PM) spies8stephanie: but i'm not sure she really said much after asking her initial question
(11:09:18 PM) spies8themba: no idea where her thoughts lie now
(11:09:21 PM) spies8stephanie: alex sort of took over
(11:09:30 PM) spies8themba: are you rereading it?
(11:09:36 PM) spies8stephanie: not again
(11:09:42 PM) spies8themba: lol
(11:09:49 PM) spies8themba: lemme have a look
(11:10:58 PM) spies8stephanie: oh heck let's just ask her where her thoughts lie now
(11:11:19 PM) spies8themba: sounds like a plan!
(11:32:22 PM) spies8stephanie: is my argument not that convincing?
(11:32:37 PM) spies8stephanie: jen & sav sure don't seem to be getting it
(11:32:38 PM) spies8themba: lol which one?
(11:32:44 PM) spies8themba: about dane?
(11:32:47 PM) spies8stephanie: that dane is scum
(11:33:01 PM) spies8themba: they seem to not really be paying much attention to the idea.
(11:51:19 PM) spies8stephanie: do you find this suspicious?
(11:52:38 PM) spies8themba: i find jenny a little suspicious yes. savannah idk yet. she approached me about my thoughts on her, so i am not sure on her. but jenny's character seems to be changing.
(11:52:55 PM) spies8stephanie: she was quiet forever
(11:53:09 PM) spies8stephanie: and then i asked and she piped up
(11:53:11 PM) spies8themba: yes.
(11:53:23 PM) spies8themba: it does seem odd.
(11:53:33 PM) spies8themba: miss bubbly = not so much anymore.
(11:55:05 PM) spies8stephanie: i keep finding everything suspicious
(11:55:18 PM) spies8stephanie: maybe i'm just a little too paranoid
(11:55:49 PM) spies8themba: it's pretty normal i think to be really suspicious, especially at the start when you're trying to find ANYTHING that could help find a spy.
