spies8hambone (8:32:07 PM): Aye, Rondak.
spies8rondak (8:32:18 PM): Hello, sir.
spies8rondak (8:32:32 PM): I share your concern, you are the second person that I've talked to individually.
spies8hambone (8:32:33 PM): I like your name so you are the first person I am messaging in this whole game, mate.
spies8rondak (8:32:51 PM): Well, it appears we are two dwarves in a carriage, or so the expression goes.
spies8rondak (8:33:03 PM): I enjoy your name too.
spies8hambone (8:33:13 PM): I propose that you and I become the best of buddies.
spies8rondak (8:33:25 PM): I expect this to be the start of a great friendship.
spies8rondak (8:33:45 PM): You appear to be a strong lad. I need a good Fighter by my side.
spies8hambone (8:33:47 PM): Roles haven't been given out yet but chances are both of us are on the good team, right?
spies8rondak (8:34:10 PM): Are teams divided by good and evil?
spies8rondak (8:34:26 PM): If so, splendid.
spies8hambone (8:35:33 PM): I have no clue.
spies8hambone (8:35:36 PM): I'm new to this.
spies8rondak (8:35:48 PM): Same as well.
spies8rondak (8:35:55 PM): I am completely and utterly overwhelmed.
spies8hambone (8:37:54 PM): What in the bloody hell is going on right now?
spies8rondak (8:39:48 PM): I have no idea.
spies8rondak (8:39:55 PM): Really, clueless.
spies8rondak (8:40:06 PM): I didn't realize there were teams.
spies8hambone (8:41:16 PM): What are the teams?
spies8rondak (8:41:29 PM): Ha. We are a couple bumblin' fucks, aren't we?
spies8rondak (8:41:36 PM): Haven't been decided yet.
spies8hambone (8:43:35 PM): Ha ok
spies8hambone (8:43:45 PM): I'm not even reading over the chatroom.
spies8hambone (8:43:48 PM): Too confusing.
spies8rondak (8:44:42 PM): Haha.,
spies8rondak (8:44:52 PM): *nods*
spies8rondak (8:45:18 PM): I will be able to be more conversational, and less overwhelmed, once I figure out who I actually have to talk to now.
spies8hambone (8:45:32 PM): Yeah.
spies8hambone (8:45:37 PM): That's what I am waiting for too.
spies8rondak (8:46:00 PM): For now, I'm going to sip on a ale and watch these adventurers fail their saving throws.
spies8hambone (8:46:13 PM): Yes!
spies8hambone (8:46:22 PM): How do I change my smileys?
spies8rondak (8:46:35 PM): Somewhere in your AIM settings, I reckon.
spies8rondak (8:47:14 PM): I'm not going to change much, admittedly, considering everyone else has turned out chatroom into some sort of drug-induced, color hallucination.
spies8hambone (8:50:56 PM): Hahaha, I just made myself into a democrat.
spies8hambone (8:51:03 PM): I found a "democrat background."
spies8hambone (8:51:26 PM): ... but it looked dumb, so I changed it!
spies8rondak (8:52:59 PM): Haha!
spies8rondak (8:53:06 PM): Now you are red, good sir.
spies8rondak (8:53:14 PM): You are flip-flopping like John Kerry.
spies8hambone (8:55:22 PM): Do you like my new picture?
spies8rondak (8:55:31 PM): Darth Vader? I am a fan.
spies8hambone (8:55:34 PM): Hahahaha.
spies8hambone (8:55:43 PM): I changed it back!
spies8rondak (8:55:44 PM): I may or may not have a cardboard cut-out of him in my basement.
spies8hambone (8:55:52 PM): I forgot this is required of me to use that picture of Hambone!
spies8rondak (8:56:12 PM): I don't see anything anymore.
spies8hambone (8:56:36 PM): dam
spies8rondak (8:56:42 PM): You are fucking up.
spies8hambone (8:57:04 PM): Give it a second then!
spies8rondak (8:57:11 PM): This is unacceptable.
spies8hambone (8:57:22 PM): I'm an untrained stunt double!
spies8hambone (8:57:28 PM): Would you like to get hurt, Rondak!
spies8rondak (8:57:29 PM): And I'm a level 23 elf mage.
spies8hambone (8:57:32 PM): I can make it happen.
spies8rondak (8:57:43 PM): I've fought fighters like you before, good sir.
spies8rondak (8:57:48 PM): All it takes is a few magic missiles to the chest.
spies8hambone (8:57:59 PM): Mate, you wish.
spies8rondak (8:58:20 PM): We work better as a team, anyways.
spies8hambone (8:58:51 PM): Yeah we will for sure.
spies8hambone (8:58:57 PM): I haven't even talked to anyone yet, hahahaha.
spies8hambone (8:59:08 PM): I chose one person and hopefully you're a citizen too.
spies8hambone (8:59:17 PM): I just checked and yeah, -__- effing citizen
spies8rondak (8:59:17 PM): Just got my alignment.
spies8rondak (8:59:28 PM): Chaotic Good.
spies8rondak (8:59:32 PM): And, yes, a citizen as well.
spies8rondak (8:59:49 PM): I am unfamiliar with either side, though. Although the name of the game is capturing the Spies?
spies8hambone (9:00:40 PM): Yeah.
spies8hambone (9:00:45 PM): I've played Mafia before.
spies8hambone (9:00:48 PM): Not Spies though.
spies8hambone (9:00:51 PM): I assume it's the same crap
spies8hambone (9:00:55 PM): Kill the Mafia!
spies8rondak (9:01:08 PM): I haven't played either, actually.
spies8rondak (9:01:12 PM): Ha. But, we'll see.
spies8hambone (9:54:30 PM): RONDY
spies8rondak (9:54:55 PM): Hambone, sir.
spies8rondak (9:55:00 PM): How are you?
spies8hambone (9:55:41 PM): Chillin brotha.
spies8hambone went idle at 10:07:57 PM
spies8hambone came back from idle at 10:28:25 PM
spies8rondak (10:32:45 PM): Apparently, Chance organized a mafia game for people to play.
spies8rondak (10:32:55 PM): And everyone is getting really into it. I got killed early.
spies8hambone (10:32:55 PM): ohhh
spies8hambone (10:32:58 PM): lol wow
spies8rondak (10:33:14 PM): I don't know why we are playing mafia inside mafia. It's like I just took three potions of dreamstate.
spies8hambone (10:36:41 PM): lol
spies8rondak (10:40:31 PM): Anyways, my plan to wait for the teams has certainly backfired.
spies8rondak (10:40:38 PM): *laughs*
spies8hambone (10:40:55 PM): lol
spies8hambone (10:40:58 PM): cuz theyre nto coming!
spies8hambone (10:41:00 PM): where r they!
spies8rondak (10:41:20 PM): Yep! I've been sitting here not talking to anyone.
spies8hambone (10:41:34 PM): lol
spies8hambone (11:25:55 PM): idk if i shouldve said that
spies8rondak (11:26:11 PM): I wouldn't worry about it.
spies8rondak (11:26:22 PM): I mean, if someone knows who you are, they may accuse you.
spies8rondak (11:26:44 PM): But it's doubtful people will know your identity from just a few tidbits.
spies8hambone (11:27:09 PM): yea
spies8hambone signed off at 11:53:16 PM
Friday, June 18, 2010
spies8hambone (9:05:34 PM): ROND!!!!! ACK!!!!!
spies8rondak (9:05:48 PM): Hello, good sir!
spies8rondak (9:05:55 PM): What is troubling you?
spies8hambone (9:06:00 PM): i couldnt sign online!
spies8hambone (9:06:03 PM): that WAS troubling me!
spies8rondak (9:06:10 PM): *chuckles*
spies8rondak (9:06:20 PM): Many apologies, but you actually have missed out.
spies8hambone (9:06:26 PM): I did!?
spies8hambone (9:06:29 PM): oh shit
spies8hambone (9:06:34 PM): whats the chat i gotta join?
spies8rondak (9:06:37 PM): *nods*
spies8hambone (9:06:42 PM): well fill me in then
spies8rondak (9:06:43 PM): I'll send you an invite.
spies8rondak (9:06:47 PM): And then fill you in.
spies8hambone (9:06:48 PM): IM EXCITED man!
spies8rondak (9:08:06 PM): To put it succintly, the good Zeke has been interrogated quite a bit.
spies8hambone signed on at 9:09:18 PM
spies8rondak (9:09:21 PM): spies8jenny (8:06:32 PM): I remember you told me before that you hadn't talked with anyone yet after roles went out, and it was a couple hours after that had happened, so it seemed weird.
spies8zedekiah (8:06:49 PM): Well, I got sort of sidetracked with other stuff online, sorry I couldn't oblidge >_>
spies8rondak (9:09:54 PM): That started it, and what followed was Zed changing his story more than a halfling in a jail cell.
spies8hambone (9:11:55 PM): lol wtf
spies8hambone (9:12:05 PM): what story did he change tho?
spies8hambone (9:12:11 PM): i dont see a story ur talking about
spies8rondak (9:13:10 PM): Well, the story is that he did not talk to anyone for two hours after roles were passed out.
spies8rondak (9:13:56 PM): According to Jenny, then, Zed was chatting with the Spies during that time. His fellow Spies.
spies8hambone (9:15:16 PM): wow wtf
spies8hambone (9:15:19 PM): that makes no sense =P
spies8hambone (9:15:28 PM): Jenny just somehow knows he was talkin to spies
spies8rondak (9:15:57 PM): Well, to be fair, it didn't make a lot of sense. But Zed really confused everyone with his defense.
spies8rondak (9:16:07 PM): And sort of gathered more suspicion.
spies8hambone (9:16:12 PM): oh
spies8rondak (9:16:20 PM): You need to see the transcript.
spies8hambone (9:16:23 PM): itd prolly just be best for me to see the convo
spies8hambone (9:16:24 PM): yeah
spies8rondak (9:16:27 PM): *nods*
spies8rondak (9:17:38 PM): I'll send you it on the board, sir.
spies8hambone (9:19:06 PM): ok
spies8rondak (9:19:16 PM): And if it is against the rules, this did not happen.
spies8hambone (9:20:05 PM): hahaahah
spies8hambone (9:20:19 PM): what happens in the PRIVATE message board stays there :-)
spies8hambone (9:20:24 PM): mwahahhahahaha *evil laugh*
spies8rondak (9:20:36 PM): *nods* Sent. Don't screw me on this one, sir.
spies8hambone (9:27:37 PM): lol i wont
spies8hambone (9:27:40 PM): i dont even think its illegal?
spies8hambone (9:27:44 PM): *COPS* oh NOooooo
spies8hambone (9:27:46 PM): THE COPS
spies8rondak (9:27:52 PM): It's the god damn cops.
spies8hambone (9:27:53 PM): I DIDNT READ THE CONVO YET I SWEAR COPS
spies8hambone (9:27:55 PM): *gets shot*
spies8rondak (9:28:02 PM): *chuckles*
spies8hambone (9:28:05 PM):
spies8rondak (9:28:23 PM): Have you read it?
spies8hambone (9:29:54 PM): im about to
spies8hambone (9:29:58 PM): but freaking Jenny talks 2 much
spies8rondak (9:30:06 PM): *laughs*
spies8rondak (9:30:12 PM): Is she filling you in, then?
spies8hambone (9:30:15 PM): oh so now ur laughing and not chuckling, aye mate
spies8hambone (9:30:24 PM): well yea shes filling me in on what im about to read =p
spies8hambone (9:30:32 PM): and im telling her ok ok ok ok im about to read it!! ok ok
spies8rondak (9:30:39 PM): Ha.
spies8hambone (9:30:44 PM): its fine tho
spies8rondak (9:30:49 PM): *nods*
spies8rondak (9:30:56 PM): She's certainly a feisty one.
spies8hambone (9:33:07 PM): spies8zedekiah (8:15:50 PM): Well I was watching that there tv from late evening on lasst night, I watched a movie at 11- 12:30
spies8rondak (8:16:03 PM): What movie?
spies8hambone (9:33:07 PM): WOW
spies8hambone (9:33:09 PM): hilarious
spies8rondak (9:33:22 PM): *chuckles* I'm glad you finally got it.
spies8rondak (9:33:40 PM): There is one point where Zedekiah says a really incoherent sentence, and everyone sort of sits there flabbergasted.
spies8rondak (9:33:55 PM): It is as hilarious as a one-armed, drunk, half-ogre.
spies8hambone (9:36:47 PM): yeah i saw that

spies8alexei (5:08:55 PM): hey Rondak
spies8rondak (5:09:01 PM): Greetings!
spies8rondak (5:09:03 PM): How are you?
spies8alexei (5:09:08 PM): good you?
spies8rondak (5:09:22 PM): I'm splendid, albeit a bit tired. Helped fend off a goblin horde earlier.
spies8alexei (5:09:43 PM): nice
spies8rondak (5:09:47 PM): Looking forward to meeting the team tonight, but not before I get a few ales in my stomach.
spies8alexei (5:09:48 PM): wait...what?
spies8alexei (5:09:53 PM): lol
spies8rondak (5:09:55 PM): Hm?
spies8alexei (5:10:02 PM): the goblin thing
spies8rondak (5:10:32 PM): Yes, a friend of mine in Knathelos had a party of goblins raiding a barracks a couple of days ago.
spies8alexei (5:10:42 PM): ah I see
spies8rondak (5:11:08 PM): We set a really terrific trap to capture them. Who knew that Goblins liked dragon feet so much?
spies8rondak (5:11:11 PM): *chuckles*
spies8rondak (5:11:23 PM): Anyway, good sir, how was your day?
spies8alexei (5:11:39 PM): very good, thanks! And yours?
spies8rondak (5:11:55 PM): Tiresome, indeed.
spies8alexei (5:12:01 PM): too bad
spies8alexei (5:12:24 PM): now, let's talk game.
spies8rondak (5:12:28 PM): As a dwarf once told me, the more tired you are, the more work you accomplished.
spies8rondak (5:12:41 PM): Game, good sir? What about it?
spies8alexei (5:13:04 PM): any suspicions thus far? Sadly, I do not, as I have yet to talk to very many people
spies8rondak (5:13:40 PM): I am in the same skiff. I had a few hunches, but they ended up on the Democrats.
spies8alexei (5:13:43 PM): school is a troublesome thing in the way of Spies
spies8alexei (5:13:47 PM): too bad
spies8rondak (5:13:55 PM): Ha. I suppose so, right?
spies8alexei (5:13:59 PM): yeah
spies8rondak (5:14:07 PM): And I am busy for nearly all of the daytime as well.
spies8alexei (5:14:17 PM): too bad
spies8rondak (5:14:27 PM): It is interesting that we are presented with a "no exile" option.
spies8rondak (5:14:41 PM): I'm not sure of the benefits of this, though.
spies8alexei (5:14:52 PM): I've seen it before
spies8rondak (5:15:01 PM): How does it work, if I may ask.
spies8alexei (5:15:25 PM): basically, if everyone votes for no one to get exiled, the day ends without a death.
spies8rondak (5:16:13 PM): *nods*
spies8alexei (5:16:17 PM): brb, I hunger, and have to make some food
spies8rondak (5:16:24 PM): Very well, good sir.
spies8alexei (5:20:41 PM): back
spies8alexei (5:20:44 PM): with my sammich
spies8rondak (5:20:54 PM): And what did you make?
spies8alexei (5:21:06 PM): ham sandwich
spies8rondak (5:21:29 PM): Sounds delicious.
spies8alexei (5:21:33 PM): it is
spies8rondak (5:21:47 PM): I just finished some bear meat.
spies8alexei (5:21:51 PM): cool
spies8rondak (5:21:56 PM): Indeed.
spies8rondak (5:22:46 PM): I suppose that the name of the game is to catch these Spies.
spies8alexei (5:23:01 PM): that is is, my friend, that it is
spies8rondak (5:23:02 PM): I was unaware of how upfront people are, though.
spies8alexei (5:23:10 PM): what do you mean?
spies8rondak (5:23:26 PM): Being questioned about suspicions and such.
spies8rondak (5:23:39 PM): Forgive me for being utterly clueless.
spies8alexei (5:23:47 PM): I understand
spies8alexei (5:23:53 PM): I too, was once like that
spies8rondak (5:24:15 PM): It's rather refreshing. I appreciate the bluntness.
spies8alexei (5:24:44 PM): the way I see it, we need to be blunt and share our suspicions if we are to get a Spy
spies8rondak (5:24:57 PM): *nods*
spies8rondak (5:25:33 PM): I've always been a very individual person, and I suppose that my only worry is that if we're too blunt or too correct, we'll be facing the gallows.
spies8rondak (5:25:54 PM): I look forward to the change.
spies8alexei (5:26:35 PM): I appreciate a change once in a while, as well.
spies8alexei (5:26:51 PM): In anonymous mafia, though, I am always blunt
spies8rondak (5:27:49 PM): This is my first time playing this mafia.
spies8rondak (5:28:05 PM): A rather grand adventure for just a bumbling mage.
spies8alexei (5:28:07 PM): I mean anonymous mafia in general
spies8rondak (5:28:12 PM): *nod*
spies8rondak (5:28:14 PM): So do I.
spies8alexei (5:28:17 PM): ah
spies8alexei (5:28:20 PM): I see
spies8alexei (5:29:06 PM): it's a lot easier to know who is acting suspicious if you know who they are, so you do not need to be blunt as much in regular mafia
spies8alexei (5:29:41 PM): since no one knows how anyone acts or who they are in this, it is quite hard to find without being blunt
spies8rondak (5:29:51 PM): *nods*
spies8rondak (5:30:09 PM): I look forward to this adventure, then.
spies8alexei (5:30:17 PM): as do I, friend.
spies8rondak (5:30:37 PM): What do you think of Jenny's suspicion, then?
spies8alexei (5:31:23 PM): it seems pretty solid to me\
spies8alexei (5:31:40 PM): although not having talked to Zed myself it is hard to judge
spies8alexei (5:31:49 PM): of course, she could just be flat out lying
spies8rondak (5:31:57 PM): Of course.
spies8rondak (5:32:07 PM): I agree, though, that it seems solid.
spies8rondak (5:32:30 PM): Although, to be frank, I did not do much talking individually after the roles were given, either.
spies8rondak (5:32:45 PM): However, I was in that group chat.
spies8alexei (5:32:51 PM): me too
spies8rondak (5:32:55 PM): And this Z fellow was not.
spies8alexei (5:33:08 PM): I don't even know if I was on when the roles were given out.
spies8rondak (5:33:47 PM): I'm certain I was. Everyone announced that they received their roles in the chat.
spies8alexei (5:34:11 PM): ah
spies8alexei (5:34:24 PM): I was there for allegiances, but I don't think for roles
spies8rondak (5:34:34 PM): Oh. They aren't the same?
spies8alexei (5:34:52 PM): not necessarily
spies8alexei (5:35:02 PM): not in the mafias I usually play, anyway
spies8alexei (5:35:12 PM): they might be in this, I'm not sure\
spies8rondak (5:35:41 PM): Well, roles must exist if Jenny's story is correct, right?
spies8alexei (5:35:50 PM): I suppose you are rgiht
spies8rondak (5:36:02 PM): But what is the difference?
spies8alexei (5:36:21 PM): roles are actions a player can take
spies8alexei (5:36:29 PM): like, inspector, doctor, etc
spies8rondak (5:36:54 PM): Oh. Alright. That sir, Chance, hosted a game last night, and I was the doctor.
spies8alexei (5:37:02 PM): ah
spies8alexei (5:37:13 PM): see, doctor is a role
spies8alexei (5:37:19 PM): since it has an ability
spies8rondak (5:37:33 PM): *nods*
spies8rondak (5:37:37 PM): Thanks for clearing that up.
spies8alexei (5:37:53 PM): no problem
spies8rondak (5:42:38 PM): Anyways, I am going to nap for a hour.
spies8alexei (5:42:43 PM): ok
spies8rondak (5:42:48 PM): If you are here, we shall talk when I return.
spies8alexei (5:42:57 PM): ok, sounds good
Saturday, June 19, 2010
spies8alexei (9:49:20 PM): hello
spies8rondak (9:49:38 PM): Hello, good sir!
spies8rondak (9:49:40 PM): How are you?
spies8alexei (9:50:04 PM): goodt, and you?
spies8rondak (9:51:44 PM): Splendid.
spies8rondak (9:51:47 PM): A few ales in.
spies8alexei (9:51:58 PM): good
spies8rondak (9:52:02 PM): *nods*
spies8alexei (9:52:09 PM): what are your takes on the Zed thing right now?
spies8rondak (9:53:08 PM): Hm.
spies8rondak (9:53:26 PM): His initial action -- not talking to anyone, is understandable, I think. I didn't talk individually, really. Though, he should have been in the chatroom.
spies8rondak (9:53:35 PM): His reaction, though, the illogical arguments, seem to be suspicious.
spies8rondak (9:53:50 PM): He's either a idiot citizen or a terrible Spy.
spies8rondak (9:53:52 PM): And yours?
spies8alexei (9:55:20 PM): generally the same consensus as yours. Not talking is completely understandable, but his story was ridiculous
spies8rondak (9:55:29 PM): *nods*
spies8rondak (9:55:36 PM): I'm leaning towards idiotic citizen.
spies8rondak (9:56:16 PM): But, I'm not ruling him out as my exile choice. *shrugs*
spies8alexei (9:56:26 PM): same with me
spies8rondak (9:56:31 PM): I've kept on saying that we have tine, but it is quickly encroaching. *chuckles*
spies8alexei (9:57:29 PM): we really don't have much time right now
spies8alexei (9:57:44 PM): hopefully something big comes up soon.
spies8rondak (9:58:00 PM): *nods*
spies8rondak (9:58:22 PM): I don't think we can afford no lynching, simply because lynching anyone will clue us in on something, due to the voting.
spies8rondak (9:58:29 PM): And the defenses, offenses, etc.
spies8alexei (9:58:41 PM): I agree entirely
spies8alexei (9:58:48 PM): we can't afford no lynch
spies8rondak (9:59:10 PM): *nods*
spies8rondak (10:00:03 PM): Do you know what is going on with this Themba situation?
spies8alexei (10:00:12 PM): not at all
spies8rondak (10:00:18 PM): Me neither. *chuckles*
spies8alexei (10:00:30 PM): I do know there is a dispute between Allan and Nita, though
spies8rondak (10:01:06 PM): Do you know any details?
spies8alexei (10:04:19 PM): mostly that Allan accused Nita of being a Spy because he was good at reading people
spies8rondak (10:04:27 PM): What.
spies8alexei (10:04:37 PM): and saying that her hiding behind fake Spanish is suspicious
spies8rondak (10:04:37 PM): Did he provide evidence, good sir?
spies8alexei (10:04:47 PM): the log is in the Republican thread
spies8rondak (10:05:17 PM): Many thanks.
spies8alexei (10:05:22 PM): no problem
spies8alexei went idle at 10:17:13 PM
spies8alexei came back from idle at 10:19:28 PM

spies8jenny (9:54:04 PM): Any impressions on people at all?
spies8rondak (9:54:33 PM): Not many, yet, to be fair.
spies8rondak (9:54:42 PM): I haven't talked individually.
spies8rondak (9:54:46 PM): I'm eagerly awaiting teams.
spies8rondak (9:54:48 PM): And yourself?
spies8jenny (9:55:06 PM): I'm trying to talk with as many people as I can before teams come.
spies8rondak (9:55:23 PM): The opposite approach, I see.
spies8jenny (9:55:49 PM): Best chance to talk with people, before we lose contact with half of the others.
spies8rondak (9:56:07 PM): So confident you'll make it to the next stage, lass?
spies8rondak (9:56:08 PM): *winks*
spies8jenny (10:00:00 PM): The teams should be up whenever sam finishes them I would think.
spies8rondak (10:00:09 PM): Excellent.
Friday, June 18, 2010
spies8rondak (5:16:33 PM): Greetings, lass.
spies8jenny (5:16:54 PM): Hi there!
spies8rondak (5:17:03 PM): How are you?
spies8jenny (5:17:14 PM): I'm doing ok, just hoping more people come on.
spies8rondak (5:17:19 PM): *nods*
spies8rondak (5:17:33 PM): That would be splendid. I'm a night person, myself, so I'm eagerly awaiting.
spies8jenny (5:22:22 PM): I'm thinking most of the cast are night people, I didn't see very many people when I was on around lunch.
spies8rondak (5:23:46 PM): *nod*
spies8rondak (5:23:58 PM): I am as well, to some extent.
spies8rondak (5:24:44 PM): Although my night hours only extend until midnight or so. Early rises for adventures in the morn'
spies8jenny (8:54:47 PM): So what do you think of all this?
spies8rondak (8:55:09 PM): Well, it is highly suspicious, obviously.
spies8rondak (8:55:27 PM): The way he is handling it is just so ... unconventionally idiotic.
spies8rondak (8:56:23 PM): Though, it almost seems to be too suspicious.
spies8rondak (8:56:42 PM): *shrugs* I need to think about it and see what more he has to say.
spies8rondak (8:56:45 PM): And you?
spies8jenny (8:58:00 PM): I just don't even know anymore. I thought we'd get a fairly simple answer to work with, not whatever this is.
spies8rondak (8:58:10 PM): *nods*
spies8rondak (8:58:12 PM): Exactly.
spies8rondak (8:59:37 PM): And I particularly enjoy how he becomes more and more incoherent as we push him further.
Saturday, June 19, 2010
spies8jenny (7:56:50 PM): Hi Rondie!
spies8jenny (7:56:56 PM): So what do you think of all this?
spies8rondak (7:57:14 PM): Greetings, lass.
spies8rondak (7:57:25 PM): And my thoughts? I am a bit overwhelmed.
spies8rondak (7:57:52 PM): I'm new to this sort of a game, admittedly.
spies8rondak (7:58:12 PM): But I am getting the hang of it, I suppose.
spies8rondak (7:58:13 PM): And you?
spies8jenny (8:00:30 PM): I'm having fun meeting everyone!
spies8jenny (8:00:38 PM): Hoping we get lucky for the first vote at least.
spies8rondak (8:00:46 PM): *nods*
spies8rondak (8:00:52 PM): I have yet to have individual conversations with many people.
spies8rondak (8:01:04 PM): And that, well, worries me a bit, considering that those people could be Spies.
spies8jenny (8:01:18 PM): That would be good to have. I think it's easier to get a good judgement if you talk with them personally.
spies8rondak (8:01:31 PM): *nods*
spies8jenny (8:01:39 PM): Have you played much mafia before?
spies8rondak (8:01:46 PM): No, good lass. This is my first time.
spies8jenny (8:01:57 PM): No wonder you're overwhelmed!
spies8rondak (8:02:07 PM): I did play the pregame mafia, though, and it was a bit confusing and underwhelming.
spies8jenny (8:02:33 PM): Yeah, I'm not a fan of mini games like that one, although they are good for at least getting basics across.
spies8rondak (8:03:06 PM): Well, it struck me that it was a good way of the host (Chance) to know the playstyles of all the experienced mafia players.
spies8jenny (8:04:01 PM): I guess, but it's not perfect. I think people play a little different in short games then big ones.
spies8rondak (8:04:11 PM): *nods*
spies8rondak (8:04:13 PM): I would imagine so.
spies8rondak (8:05:11 PM): It still seemed rather odd, though. A game within a game.
spies8jenny (8:05:33 PM): It happens sometimes early on as an icebreaker for people.
spies8jenny (8:08:42 PM): Have you ever had to be in an adventure that required you to solve some mystery, or intrigue?
spies8rondak (8:09:09 PM): *nods*
spies8jenny (8:09:17 PM): You try to just talk with everyone and get a full picture of things right?
spies8rondak (8:10:03 PM): I will.
spies8jenny (8:10:14 PM): Well that's the same kind of thing we have here.
spies8jenny (8:10:25 PM): So play this out like it's one of those adventures.
spies8rondak (8:10:33 PM): Are you coming on to me, lass?
spies8rondak (8:10:39 PM): If so, I have a room at the Blue Face.
spies8jenny (8:11:31 PM): Awww.

I'm just trying to help you get started, so you have an idea of where to begin.
spies8jenny (8:11:45 PM): So that it doesn't seem as overwhelming to you.
spies8rondak (8:12:25 PM): I think that, for me, patience will be rewarding.
spies8jenny (8:13:37 PM): Things do tend to pick up more the farther along we get into things. Right now everyone is still meeting each other and trying to find connections. Once we've gotten a few days and weeks into it, there will be a lot more that we can work with.
spies8rondak (8:13:56 PM): *nods*
spies8rondak (8:14:03 PM): That is part of the reason why I want to exile.
spies8rondak (8:14:21 PM): Because I think that the way people vote, or their defenses or offenses to the vote, will clue us in to a Spy or two.
spies8rondak (8:14:24 PM): Or at least raise more suspicion.
spies8jenny (8:15:01 PM): That is a good clue to things, yes. Past votes can be rather helpful in deciding between people later on.
spies8jenny (8:16:47 PM): Oh by the way, don't forget to add yourself in this topic. spies8.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=gop&action=display&thread=283

Sammy will put the picture in for you after it's up.
spies8rondak (8:17:12 PM): *nods*
spies8rondak (8:17:37 PM): I'll have to edit my biography, as it reveals too much about myself, but I will do that tonight,
spies8jenny (8:18:43 PM): About your non alias self you mean? Yeah, that would be bad to keep in.
spies8rondak (8:18:54 PM): No, about my alias self.
spies8rondak (8:19:16 PM): (Rondak isn't his real name, I wrote a pretty complex, long biography).
spies8jenny (8:20:03 PM): (I can probably take a good guess at the general nature. Just ask sam about it if you're not sure how much to keep in.)
spies8jenny (8:20:56 PM): (It would probably be just fine leaving the whole thing in, your alias is listed as rondak so I doubt anyone would say otherwise.)
spies8rondak (8:21:18 PM): (Yeah, it may make people want to get to know me more, actually.)
spies8jenny (8:21:45 PM): See? Works out well then, you get them coming to you to talk with!
spies8jenny (8:26:45 PM): Is there any questions about the game itself that you don't really get yet?
spies8jenny (8:27:01 PM): Doesn't have to be rule stuff, I just mean in general.
spies8rondak (8:27:50 PM): Hm.
spies8rondak (8:29:19 PM): I am not sure, ha. I think this is one of the things that I will have to learn as I go.
spies8rondak (8:29:41 PM): I'm sad that this is his last Spies game, admittedly, considering that it seems like one could get better over time.
spies8jenny (8:31:43 PM): Well if it helps, the things I try to keep in mind when looking at people's actions are if what they are doing is helpful for them as a citizen, and if it's helpful for them as a spy.
spies8rondak (8:31:59 PM): *nods*
spies8rondak (8:32:19 PM): With someone like me, though, would I seem suspect since I am new?
spies8jenny (8:32:33 PM): Everybody until you have reason otherwise.
spies8jenny (8:34:05 PM): Some of it is logical thinking and some of it is a bit of gut feeling. If something happens, I look at it and try to see how it would work either way, how does it help them as a citizen, and how does it help if they are a spy. Often I can think of was for both sides, but sometimes things just only make sense one way or the other.
spies8rondak (8:35:31 PM): And this Zed thing, then?
spies8jenny (8:38:45 PM): Well that's why I asked him about it.
spies8jenny (8:39:22 PM): You'd think right after the game starts and you find out who you are, you'd want to talk to *someone*, be it your new spy team, or just other players to find the spies.
spies8jenny (8:40:50 PM): When he told me that he hadn't talked with anyone, the way I thought it through was that he either got busy somehow right as roles went out, or he was talking with other spies for two hours and got startled when I asked what he was doing.

I thought it'd be good to ask him the next day in the public room to see what he had to say on it.
spies8jenny (8:41:38 PM): And you saw how that came out. (hmm)
spies8rondak (8:42:25 PM): *nods*
spies8rondak (8:42:38 PM): I did not really have much of a problem with him not talking to people, individually. I only talked to a few.
spies8rondak (8:42:46 PM): But, the way he handled the situation in the chat was just .. atrocious.
spies8rondak (8:42:52 PM): He failed his saving throw at logical arguments.
spies8jenny (8:43:49 PM): The worst part is, he could really just be stumbling and confused.
spies8jenny (8:43:55 PM): So I don't really know what to think of him right now.
spies8rondak (8:44:04 PM): He's either a terrible spy or a idiot.
spies8rondak (8:44:22 PM): Personally, I'm leaning towards the latter, simply because I have faith in the good Judge to give us some challenging opponents.
spies8rondak (8:44:36 PM): But, from what others have told me, Spy incompetence is not rare.
spies8jenny (8:44:36 PM): Well the two don't have to be exclusive. I've seen mafia members claim to the town before, thinking they were another member of the mafia.
spies8jenny (8:45:39 PM): And Sam has stated before that he picks spies mostly randomly.
spies8rondak (8:45:48 PM): Oh, I did not realize that.
spies8rondak (8:45:58 PM): That makes my thought process different, then.
spies8jenny (8:46:14 PM): Yeah, you want to be fairly random about selection, so it isn't a game of "Who would the person running the game pick?"
spies8rondak (8:46:31 PM): *nods* Of course.
spies8rondak (8:46:39 PM): Makes sense, now.
spies8jenny (8:48:09 PM): Which does sometimes cause... "special" moments with players.
spies8rondak (8:48:39 PM): *chuckles*
spies8rondak (8:48:56 PM): I am glad I didn't get Spy.
spies8rondak (8:49:11 PM): I think there would be too much pressure for me, especially as a new player.
spies8jenny (9:43:41 PM): By the way, I thought it stopped at level 20?
spies8rondak (9:43:52 PM): What stopped?
spies8jenny (9:44:10 PM): You said you were level 23, but I thought 20 was the highest.
spies8rondak (9:45:25 PM): I don't know what you are going by.
spies8rondak (9:45:34 PM): In Dungeons and Dragons, yes.
spies8rondak (9:45:38 PM): But not in my world, lass.
spies8jenny (9:47:04 PM): Aren't you nearly at godlike levels of power by the time you're at 20? If you're three higher then that, I'd think you'd have the ability to just instantly see through everyone to see who is what?
spies8rondak (9:47:25 PM): *nods*
spies8rondak (9:47:30 PM): In that rule set, yes.
spies8rondak (9:47:34 PM): But in my world, there are no rules.
spies8jenny (9:47:53 PM): So it's like using a different measuring system then.
spies8rondak (9:48:24 PM): *nods*
spies8rondak (9:48:31 PM): I am very well accomplished by my level, though.
spies8jenny (9:49:29 PM): Okies! I was just kind of curious about that, since from how I understood how it was counted, you'd be able to solve it all in about 15 minutes.
spies8jenny (9:49:55 PM): Which, not to sound mean, doesn't sound like it fits you just yet.
spies8rondak (9:50:30 PM): *chuckles*
spies8rondak (9:50:32 PM): No, it does not.
spies8rondak (9:50:37 PM): Completely understandable, lass.
spies8rondak (9:50:42 PM): I'll try my best, though.
spies8jenny (9:50:50 PM): Well good
spies8rondak (9:58:43 PM): I actually do have a question.
spies8jenny (9:58:47 PM): Yes?
spies8rondak (9:59:01 PM): Is it reasonable to suspect that the Spies would be part of the more active crowd?
spies8jenny (9:59:21 PM): Active, quiet, leader, follower...
spies8jenny (10:00:15 PM): About as varied as dragon types.
spies8rondak (10:00:21 PM): *chuckles*
spies8jenny (10:01:23 PM): You'll get everything from the spy that's in the limelight, to the spy that people forgot was playing.
spies8rondak (10:01:44 PM): *chuckles* Well, that's not entirely helpful for us, is it?
Sunday, June 20, 2010
spies8jenny (7:54:51 PM): You get kicked out somehow?
spies8rondak (7:54:56 PM): *nods*
spies8rondak (7:54:59 PM): Getting back in now, lass.
spies8jenny (7:55:05 PM): Don't worry, I don't think you missed anything.
spies8rondak (7:55:17 PM): It seems like Alexei is employing the Zed defense strategy.
spies8jenny (7:55:24 PM): I've noticed.
spies8jenny (7:55:31 PM): Is it really that hard to type coherantly?
spies8jenny (7:55:32 PM): Wow.
spies8rondak (7:55:46 PM): *nods* I really do not understand.
spies8jenny (7:59:21 PM): I just.
spies8jenny (7:59:25 PM): I don't even know what to say there.
spies8jenny (8:00:03 PM): I've posted the section in my confessional for now, I guess Sam will notice it sooner or later.
spies8jenny (8:08:45 PM): I just don't even know what to think with these people anymore.
spies8rondak (8:10:09 PM): They are really over the top and really not coherent.
spies8jenny (8:10:29 PM): Welcome to spies Rondie. Welcome to Spies.
spies8rondak (8:10:57 PM): *chuckles*
spies8jenny (8:21:54 PM): He was asking you if you think Dane does.
spies8jenny (8:52:19 PM): This is just crazy.
spies8rondak (8:53:15 PM): I don't understand.
spies8rondak (8:53:25 PM): Maybe we are all a bunch of idiotic citizens.
spies8jenny (8:53:34 PM): That would not be the 40th time.
spies8jenny (9:34:03 PM): This does tend to be how many mafia games work out by the way Rendie.

The first few days is more or less a stare down with everyone trying to find anything at all to lynch with, until something actually happens and then there's a big giant discussion on it, and then the exile happens, and the next few days are the fallout from it in some form. After that it's more or less piecing together the connections that came up during the first few days.
spies8rondak (9:34:50 PM): *nods*
spies8rondak (9:35:02 PM): I just want a exile to happen. Can't afford no exile.
spies8jenny (9:35:35 PM): Well 24 and a half hours from now, someone will be leaving.
spies8jenny (9:49:16 PM): Are you still here?
spies8jenny (9:49:22 PM): Themby is looking for you!
Monday, June 21, 2010
spies8jenny (11:29:44 PM): Hi Rondie!
spies8rondak (3:04:26 PM): Greetings.
spies8jenny (3:05:55 PM): Hi there!
spies8rondak (3:06:06 PM): So I suppose the moment of truth is quickly encroaching?
spies8jenny (3:07:20 PM): I think we have 7 hours.
spies8rondak (3:07:25 PM): *nods*
spies8rondak (3:07:54 PM): I am pretty nervous, but very excited. Whatever happens will certainly clue us in on the broader scheme of things, I think.
spies8jenny (3:08:18 PM): Agreed. Hopefully we'll catch a spy, but I think no matter what comes out we'll have some good information.
spies8rondak (3:08:45 PM): I feel pretty bad, I'm not sure if people perceive me as inactive or not, but I'm not sure if I am helping the team much.
spies8rondak (3:09:17 PM): *sighs* I think, though, I'll be able to participate more in the next few days. My schedule is certainly opening up.
spies8jenny (3:47:00 PM): I don't think people are thinking you're inactive really. If anybody would fall into that, it'd be Kiara, although she's still trying to follow.
spies8jenny (3:47:54 PM): And the first few days are always rough, regardless on if you're new or not. As long as you manage to stay in it, you'll get into the groove of things eventually.
spies8rondak (3:48:14 PM): *nods*
spies8rondak (3:48:17 PM): I hope I do.
spies8rondak (4:04:39 PM): k im live
spies8jenny (4:05:01 PM): Live?
spies8rondak (4:05:12 PM): Wow, wrong window.
spies8rondak (4:05:16 PM): Sorry.
spies8jenny (4:05:22 PM): That did seem rather out of character.
spies8rondak (4:05:32 PM): Hahaha. Yeah, meant to put it on Skype. *chuckles*
spies8jenny (4:05:48 PM): Always fun when it switches windows on you huh?
spies8rondak (4:06:02 PM): Ind
