[16:50] <teh_lisa> and we need all the help we can get Smile

[16:50] <C[a]usepoet> Ah but if Seth poped in for just a moment, he could leave in the time it takes me to switch rooms.
[16:51] <Dionysus> He never does that.
[16:51] <teh_lisa> thats why we discuss anything that happens in here
[16:51] <Crouchosarus> Ooooh, he makes a point though
[16:51] <teh_lisa> no one ever misses out
[16:51] <teh_lisa> Smile

This was the chat in #orbital during the first sighting of Causepoet in #inquiringminds. Just posting it so everyone can see what theories were dished out at the time.

[22:39] <AmbeeJoybee> I think the person I am chatting with is a character.
[22:39] <AmbeeJoybee> in disguise
[22:39] <grumpyboy> serious?
[22:39] <AmbeeJoybee> somebody come in there please
[22:39] <AmbeeJoybee> totally serious
[22:39] <AmbeeJoybee> <Causepoet> Aw. I wish I had been here
[22:39] <AmbeeJoybee> <AmbeeJoybee> Who are you?
[22:39] <AmbeeJoybee> <Causepoet> just someone else trying to help a little girl
[22:39] <AmbeeJoybee> <Causepoet> isn't that what everyone is doing here?
[22:39] <AmbeeJoybee> <AmbeeJoybee> And how did you find us?
[22:39] <AmbeeJoybee> <Causepoet> I followed a trail of bread crumbs
[22:40] <AmbeeJoybee> and I do believe their server is the same one seth was on last night
[22:40] <grumpyboy> that room is in-game i suppose
[22:41] <AmbeeJoybee> totally
[22:41] <AmbeeJoybee> and I have never seen that username before, which is why I got suspicious
[22:41] <grumpyboy> that nick souds familiar
[22:41] <Crouchosarus> I'm so trying not to saything
[22:42] <Crouchosarus> maybe he is here since we are so going the wrong way on this puzzl
[22:42] <AmbeeJoybee> maybe I am wrong about him
[22:42] <AmbeeJoybee> but I am suspicious
[22:42] <Crouchosarus> or someone is on seth's computer right now that isn't seth and found it
[22:42] <Crouchosarus> and knows what it i
[22:42] <Crouchosarus> s
[22:42] <grumpyboy> anyone have the whois info when chatting with seth?
[22:43] <AmbeeJoybee> hold on
[22:43] <AmbeeJoybee> <JustLurking> inquiringmind was SethAdamsSPLAT2c546df3.2c546df3.2803ef39.27ad84c0X * inquiringmind
[22:43] <AmbeeJoybee> <JustLurking> inquiringmind using foshizzle.ca.us.hub.chat-solutions.org Thu Dec 29 21:45:51 2005
[22:45] <Crouchosarus> should you ask if he knows steven
[22:45] <Crouchosarus> ?
[22:45] <AmbeeJoybee> maybe I totally jumped the gun, but why is that person only in there?
[22:45] <Crouchosarus> that is why i think someone might be on seth's laptop
[22:45] <Crouchosarus> and who is us?
[22:46] <Crouchosarus> can i awnser that question, get more people in the conversation
[22:46] <AmbeeJoybee> yes, crouch Smile

[22:47] <AmbeeJoybee> you aren't banned from character interaction Smile

[22:47] <Crouchosarus> good, just from Stevie
[22:47] <grumpyboy> u don;'t need anyone's permission to speak
[22:47] <Crouchosarus> stupid Raidar
[22:48] <Crouchosarus> I am not banned from character interaction yet...
[22:48] <Dionysus> *yawns*
[22:48] * Dionysus stretches
[22:48] <Dionysus> I didnt miss anything did I?
[22:48] <AmbeeJoybee> yes you did
[22:48] <AmbeeJoybee> Razz

[22:48] <Dionysus> What I miss?
[22:49] <AmbeeJoybee> go to the other channel
[22:49] <AmbeeJoybee> or scroll up in here
[22:49] <Dionysus> Causepoet?
[22:49] <AmbeeJoybee> yeah
[22:49] <AmbeeJoybee> know them?
[22:49] * Crouch has joined #orbital
[22:49] <AmbeeJoybee> character or player?
[22:50] <Dionysus> I dont think hes a character
[22:50] <Crouch> player
[22:50] <Crouch> i think?
[22:50] <Dionysus> I think he's just a player
[22:50] <Crouch> but why would he be there not here
[22:50] <Crouch> watch him think Seth is a real investigator and wants him to do a case so he came here
[22:50] <AmbeeJoybee> and why does he say he only knows about this all because of the brochures sent out a couple months ago?
[22:51] <Crouch> it it Seth?
[22:51] <Dionysus> Independant player
[22:51] <Crouch> playing with us
[22:51] * Dionysus shakes his head
[22:51] * Crouchosarus has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 180 seconds)
[22:51] <Crouch> are you sure
[22:52] <Crouch> Hmmm it might be character
[22:52] <AmbeeJoybee> I'm not sure of anything.
[22:52] <Crouch> he seems like he knows stevie
[22:52] <AmbeeJoybee> I don't want to look like a fool, yet I don't want to brush off something that could be a kloo.
[22:52] <Crouch> wait.... poet, Stevie, Bronco, DAVI!
[22:52] <Dionysus> I'm logging now, just in case.
[22:52] <Crouch> Is it Davi!
[22:53] <AmbeeJoybee> That was my first thought too.
[22:53] <AmbeeJoybee> Watch us all be wrong, and it is just another peon like us. Razz

[22:53] <Dionysus> Davi would tell us if it was her
[22:53] <AmbeeJoybee> Why?
[22:53] <AmbeeJoybee> We don't know what she knows.
[22:53] <Crouch> She might think we know that
[22:54] <Crouch> It seems like it
[22:54] <AmbeeJoybee> She has never admitted to receiving any of our emails.
[22:54] <Crouch> or the creepy guy
[22:54] <AmbeeJoybee> Seth has never said he told her everything.
[22:54] <Crouch> Maybe that is why he was in her room, to tell us what he found
[22:54] <AmbeeJoybee> She might not trust us.
[22:54] <Crouch> he knew seth could contact us so he wanted his laptop, thought he might be there since he wasn't home
[22:55] <Crouch> hey how do you whisper in IRC
[22:55] <AmbeeJoybee> double-click on someone's name and it opens a new "channel"
[22:56] <Crouch> thanks
[22:56] * Rogi has joined #orbital
[22:57] <Crouch> hmm they aren't on the station
[22:57] <Crouch> or have been
[22:57] <Crouch> I think this "indepent" is a om
[22:57] <Crouch> pushing usfoward
[22:59] <Crouch> i think i have no idea what he is
[22:59] <Crouch> should me invite him here?
[22:59] <AmbeeJoybee> no
[22:59] <Crouch> yeah, bad idea
[22:59] <AmbeeJoybee> this person could not have found #inquiringminds without knowing about this channel
[22:59] <grumpyboy> this room is out-of-game
[22:59] <AmbeeJoybee> correct
[23:00] <AmbeeJoybee> #inquiringminds is hidden in a couple of threads in unfiction
[23:00] <Crouch> o
[23:00] <Crouch> which is out of game
[23:00] <AmbeeJoybee> They would have had to find the room via unfiction.
[23:00] <Crouch> exactly, so they would have found this
[23:00] <AmbeeJoybee> No, I am saying they would already know about this room, whether they are a character or a player.
[23:00] <Crouch> yeah\
[23:00] <AmbeeJoybee> If they are a player, they chose to skip this room.
[23:00] <Crouch> so y aren't the here?
[23:01] <AmbeeJoybee> If they are a character, they are pretending this room doesn't exist.
[23:01] <Dionysus> We dont knwo for sure crouch
[23:01] <Crouch> /join #pm
[23:01] <Crouch> whoops sry
[23:01] <Dionysus> .. umm no
[23:01] <Dionysus> Crouch
[23:01] <Crouch> wanted to talk to myself
[23:01] <Dionysus> Thats violating one of the COmmandments
[23:01] <Crouch> what?
[23:01] <Dionysus> "THou Shalt Not Look Behind the Curtain"

[23:04] <Rogi> Sorry I missed the start of that stuff. Are you guys talking about Couchpoet?
[23:04] <Rogi> *Causepoet
[23:04] <Dionysus> A) Yeah
[23:04] <Dionysus> B) Crouch... orbitalcolony.com is behidn the curtain. Generally its bad form to peek.
[23:04] <Crouch> hmm?
[23:05] <Dionysus> We're tryign to decide tif CP is a player or a character
[23:05] <Dionysus> Crouch.. do you know what "the curtain" is?
[23:05] <Crouch> why is bad to go t
[23:05] <Crouch> yes

[23:06] <Crouch> stfu
[23:06] <Crouch> yes we are
[23:06] <AmbeeJoybee> they wouldn't put it up for the world to see if it was a secret
[23:06] <Crouch> there is no reason not to
[23:06] <Dionysus> You misunderstand.
[23:06] <Dionysus> And crouch, kid, dont tell me to shut up
[23:06] <Crouch> no youdo
[23:06] <Crouch> I understand what you mean, but there are exception
[23:06] <Crouch> s
[23:07] <Dionysus> Amber, essentially orbitalcolony.com is a META site.. and advertisement for the game.
[23:07] <AmbeeJoybee> correct
[23:07] <Crouch> imagine what Seth would do
[23:07] <Dionysus> It is behing the Curtain. While goign there cant HURT us, since it holds no curcial inof
[23:07] <Crouch> He would freak out realizing he isn't real, noone is
[23:07] <Dionysus> its also bad form for us to go there.. its still peeking, even if we cant se emuch
[23:08] <AmbeeJoybee> We can go there. We just don't bring the site into the game.
[23:08] <Crouch> No it isn't they say we can in there rules.
[23:08] <Crouch> It is no form for us to go there
[23:08] <Dionysus> "it is no form" do you even SPEAK english?
[23:08] <Crouch> my prevous statement was to dio
[23:10] * Dionysus shrugs
[23:10] <Crouch> do you speak logic
[23:10] <Dionysus> In my opinion , peeking at all is bad form even if there arent expressed rules agaisnt it
[23:10] <Dionysus> Yes, Crouch I do. I'm a 23 year old College Graduate wiht a Bachelor's of Science in Aerospace Engineering
[23:10] <Dionysus> What do you have?
[23:11] <Dionysus> An allowance?
[23:11] <Crouch> Middle School Degree
[23:11] <Crouch> No i need to do stuff for an allowance
[23:11] <Crouch> And besides degrees don't mean anything compared to pure logic
[23:12] <Dionysus> Middle School, so I'll thank you to watch your tongue around your elders, kid.
[23:12] <Rowan> btw - it is not bad form to go to orbitalcolony.com
[23:12] <Rowan> its a meta site
[23:12] <Dionysus> God.. I'm getting sucked into argueing with you...becoming a kid myself
[23:12] * Dionysus shakes his head
[23:13] * Crouch Realizes he has been arguing with someone who is a tight ass about the rules so he will never win
[23:13] <Rowan> but dio: do you really think that the PMs would have put the site up if they didnt want us looking there?
[23:13] <Dionysus> Im sorry if Im snappish. I havent felt very well recently.. between job hunting stress and the plague...
[23:14] <Crouch> O and, there is no way it is a coincidence someone went to only the ingame irc, went to the maldives, and has never been seen by us here
[23:15] <Dionysus> Quite possibly correct Crouch
[23:15] <Rowan> unless you have confirmation that its an ingame character tho - i wouldnt trust anyone goign to #inquiringminds
[23:15] <Dionysus> Id say the evidence indicates he is a character... but no proof
[23:15] <Rowan> because trolls do exisit
[23:15] <Dionysus> Its happened before.. righ tROwan?
[23:15] <AmbeeJoybee> I agree Rowan.
[23:15] <Dionysus> People pretending to be PMs?
[23:15] <Dionysus> Dirty trick..
[23:15] <AmbeeJoybee> But it doesn't appear the person is one of "us".
[23:15] <Rogi> Is Dionysus = Andrew?
[23:16] <AmbeeJoybee> yes
[23:16] <Rowan> you shouldnt be introduced to a new character strictly by them popping up in irc
[23:16] <Crouch> it is clever
[23:16] * delusional696 has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 180 seconds)
[23:16] <Rowan> its so easy to hide who you are on irc tho
[23:16] <Rogi> Reminds me a little of dear old Iz.
[23:16] <Dionysus> Yeah.. Andrew is my real name
[23:16] <Dionysus> Its also the name Seth knows me by
[23:16] <Dionysus> So I use it over there
[23:17] <AmbeeJoybee> *snortI
[23:17] <AmbeeJoybee> *snort*
[23:17] <Dionysus> Jack Gamber?
[23:17] <Rogi> I have enough trouble keeping one session up. Props for doing more.
[23:17] <AmbeeJoybee> poor Crouch!!
[23:17] <AmbeeJoybee> You're still getting beat up over that.
[23:17] <Crouch> GOD DAMNIT (ECHOS)
[23:19] <Crouch> I know
[23:20] <AmbeeJoybee> ARGs really play with your head, ya know?
[23:20] <AmbeeJoybee> You suspect everyone.
[23:20] <AmbeeJoybee> You suspect everything.
[23:21] * Crouching has joined #orbital
[23:21] <AmbeeJoybee> You see ARGs in stupid things.
[23:21] * Crouching is now known as crouchosarus
[23:21] <Rowan> generally tho, the stupid things dont have the stamina or the inclination to pull off an ARG
[23:21] <JustLurking> so, is causepoet IG?
[23:22] <crouchosarus> Umm what do we tell him about what he just said
[23:22] <Rowan> not until someone IG vouches for him
[23:22] * Crouch has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 181 seconds)
[23:22] <crouchosarus> who will
[23:22] * c[a]spian_x is now known as caspian_x
[23:22] <Rowan> any IG character can
[23:22] <crouchosarus> We have to hope Seth joins and mentions knowing him
[23:23] <Rowan> but i've seen too many trolls to trust someone who just pops up on IRC
[23:23] <Rowan> or emails me from some weird email address
[23:23] <JustLurking> but look at the whois
[23:23] <AmbeeJoybee> *nod*
[23:23] <JustLurking> it's a masked IP
[23:23] <Rowan> what does that have to do with it?
[23:23] <Rowan> if i was trolling i'd be maskign my IP
[23:23] <JustLurking> but then again, you'd suck if you did that
[23:23] <JustLurking> Wink

[23:24] <AmbeeJoybee> How old is Davina?
[23:24] <caspian_x> wow this place is hopping tonight
[23:24] <crouchosarus> Idk
[23:24] <AmbeeJoybee> well, this lady is 32
[23:24] <Rowan> but obviously, if this is an ingame character, its a completly new one, as the name was just registered today
[23:25] <AmbeeJoybee> Is that close to Davina's age?
[23:25] * caspian_x is now known as Casian
[23:25] * Casian is now known as Caspian
[23:27] <Rowan> oh ya - i can just see IG characters talking about if they are nekkid or not on IRC
[23:27] <Rowan> *rolls eyes*
[23:27] <AmbeeJoybee> *snort*
[23:27] <AmbeeJoybee> that thought crossed my mind
[23:27] <Dionysus> yeah
[23:27] <crouchosarus> Poor Stevie
[23:27] <crouchosarus> October 3rd, 2004
[23:27] <crouchosarus> Stevie called me crying this morning. She heard Steven and Cordelia fighting late last night. I told her it was completely normal for grown-ups to fight, but I don't think it made her feel much better.
[23:27] <Dionysus> i think we have a troll
[23:27] <crouchosarus> Hmm did Cordelia do it
[23:27] <JustLurking> well, there was WI
[23:28] <Caspian> so crouch are you quoting someone?
[23:28] <Dionysus> Davians diary
[23:28] <Caspian> Oh
[23:28] <Caspian> yeah missed that
[23:28] <Caspian> thanks
[23:28] <Caspian> Is CP posing as a character?
[23:29] <Rowan> well, they aren't in here talking
[23:29] <Caspian> has s/he said anything to make it seem like they are IG?
[23:29] <Dionysus> no
[23:29] <Rowan> not by my standards
[23:29] <Caspian> no no
[23:29] <Caspian> I mean to make it seem like they are posing as IG
[23:30] <Rowan> just that they are in the ingame chatroom and not in here
[23:30] <Caspian> ok
[23:31] <crouchosarus> ask if she went to NY last october
[23:31] <Rowan> but then again - i just got in there
[23:31] <Caspian> is SP a she?
[23:31] <Caspian> *CP
[23:31] <crouchosarus> yeah
[23:31] <crouchosarus> she said it
[23:31] <Caspian> k sorry i didn't go back and reread the whole room
[23:31] <AmbeeJoybee> She said that she learned about #inquiringminds from a brochure she got in the mail a couple months ago
[23:31] <Caspian> she could be a newbie
[23:31] <crouchosarus> Davi went to NY last year from October 16th - October 30th
[23:31] <Rowan> *rolls eyes*
[23:32] * crouchosarus has quit IRC (Read error: Connection reset by peer)
[23:32] <AmbeeJoybee> She just got home from the Maldives.
[23:32] <AmbeeJoybee> She is here to help a sweet, little girl.
[23:32] <AmbeeJoybee> *shrug*
[23:32] <Caspian> hmmm
[23:32] <AmbeeJoybee> I could be convinced either way.
[23:32] <Caspian> yeah does sound trollish
[23:32] <Rowan> considering the fact that #inquiringminds has never been a registered channel
[23:33] <Caspian> oh whatever
[23:33] <Caspian> ok two possibilities
[23:33] <Caspian> well actually three but one is very unlikely
[23:34] <Rogi> Tllk her a while to come back with that.
[23:34] <Rogi> *Took
[23:34] * grumpyboy has quit IRC (Quit: )
[23:34] <Rogi> No way for her to connect the brochure to Stevie.
[23:35] <Caspian> well the brochures could have led her to Stevie i suppose
[23:35] <Rowan> how?
[23:35] <Caspian> at least to orbicon
[23:35] <Rowan> unless she was at the chat
[23:35] <Rowan> ?
[23:35] <Dionysus> Same way we went there
[23:35] <Dionysus> Oh.. true
[23:35] <Caspian> orbicon -> contact page -> Steven Mae -> google -> Stevie's blog
[23:35] <Caspian> it's possiblt
[23:35] <Caspian> unlikely
[23:35] <Caspian> but possible
[23:36] <Rowan> how often do you go googling the names of all the people associated with a company?
[23:36] <Caspian> point
[23:37] <Caspian> but it was reported that Steven was missing
[23:37] <Caspian> so maybe that piqued her interest
[23:37] <AmbeeJoybee> oh now that is just unbelievable about the penpal
[23:37] <Caspian> here's another possibility: what if the PMs are introducing a character who is simply one of Stevie's Earth penpals
[23:37] <Caspian> in order to help us brainstorm
[23:37] <Rowan> bad form
[23:37] <Caspian> because we have been stucj
[23:37] <Rowan> because you cannot verify who people are on IRC
[23:37] <AmbeeJoybee> Then Stevie would have told us she had a friend to help us.
[23:38] <Caspian> well maybe not
[23:38] <Rowan> now if stevie put in her blog she had a friend by the name of CausePoet, that would be one thing
[23:38] <Caspian> I mean she didn't need to introduce us to each other did sge?
[23:38] <AmbeeJoybee> She asked us all if we knew each other in emails.
[23:38] <AmbeeJoybee> She asked me if I knew Lisa Anne.
[23:38] <Caspian> Oh interesting
[23:38] <AmbeeJoybee> She asked different ones of us if we knew the others.
[23:38] <Caspian> She never asked me about any of you
[23:38] <Caspian> and that was a while ago
[23:39] * Rogi_ has joined #orbital
[23:39] <AmbeeJoybee> You probably told her you were with us.
[23:39] <Caspian> I'm just thinking that this *could* be the PMs way of guiding us
[23:39] * Rogi_ hates his ISP.
[23:39] * Rogi has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 180 seconds)
[23:41] <Rowan> if it is - i think its a serious mistake on their part
[23:41] <AmbeeJoybee> Causepoet came in at roughly the same time Seth came in last night, right?
[23:41] <Caspian> I'm not sure if I agree with you, but I will aquiesce for now because you out rank me Wink

[23:42] <Rowan> its not that
[23:42] <Rowan> its just that its SO easy for a troll to come in
[23:42] <Rowan> and seeing as there has already been a troll associated with this game
[23:42] <Caspian> Oh I totally see where you are coming from
[23:42] <Rowan> its not a stretch to think that it'll happen again
[23:42] <AmbeeJoybee> what the hell is :-^
[23:42] <Caspian> But I'm trying to think like a PM here
[23:42] <Caspian> If I wanted to hint to my players without making it obvious
[23:43] <Caspian> I might introduce a character who was one of them
[23:43] <Rowan> there are plenty of ways to do that
[23:43] <Rowan> without introducing yet another "character"
[23:43] <Caspian> Agreed
[23:43] <enaxor> especially one we've never heard of
[23:43] <Caspian> Here's another idea
[23:43] <Caspian> what if this is a newbie to the whole ARG genre
[23:44] <Caspian> and is trying to insert a little too much RPG into it than is necessary
[23:44] <AmbeeJoybee> Caspian, there was no way for them to find #inquiringminds
[23:44] <AmbeeJoybee> it is only buried in a couple posts on unfiction
[23:44] <Caspian> right, but the latest posts
[23:44] <Rowan> well, if you believe raider told her, she could have
[23:44] <Rowan> however...
[23:44] <AmbeeJoybee> unless somebody put it on the Wiki
[23:44] * grumpyboy has joined #orbital
[23:44] <Rowan> I dont know how she woudl have gotten a brochure from orbicon without being associated with ARGs in some way
[23:45] <Rogi_> If she was in the Maldives and had a brochure, She'd have FOUND the base.
[23:45] <Rowan> see - the Maldives thing is higly suspicious
[23:45] <Caspian> That's why I'm thinking she could be a condused RP-er
[23:45] <Caspian> When I first started ARGing
[23:45] <Caspian> I thought it was like RPing
[23:45] <Caspian> I thought I had to make up a story for my "character"
[23:46] <Caspian> and we've never discussed #orbital in the forums
[23:46] <Rowan> but going back to the brochure - how would she have gotten one?
[23:46] <Caspian> she wouldn't
[23:46] <Caspian> she's making it up in character
[23:46] <Caspian> if my theory is true
[23:46] <Rowan> wait
[23:46] <Caspian> just like visiting the maldives
[23:46] <AmbeeJoybee> #orbital is right on the main OC page on the forums
[23:46] <Caspian> is it?
[23:46] <AmbeeJoybee> and it is in the posts that guide you
[23:46] <Rowan> you're saying that she's a newbie and that she's just RP
[23:46] <Caspian> i'm saying maybe
[23:47] <Rowan> but I dont believe she could be a total newbie and found out about this
[23:47] <Caspian> I dunno, I'm just saying maybe to all of this
[23:47] <AmbeeJoybee> ditto
[23:47] <AmbeeJoybee> to rowan
[23:47] <Rowan> as far as i know, this game has not reached outside of the ARG community
[23:47] <Caspian> cuz I totally almost started doing what she's doing when was a total newbie
[23:47] <Rowan> so you never went to the OOG rooms?
[23:48] <Rowan> just ingame?
[23:48] <Rowan> and you never posted to UF?
[23:48] <AmbeeJoybee> You would have came here.
[23:48] <Caspian> I posted to UF forums first
[23:48] <Caspian> and I read a LOT
[23:48] <Caspian> but maybe she wasn't that patient and just browsed a couple posts
[23:48] <Caspian> saw #inquiringminds since we posted about it recently
[23:48] <Caspian> and started RPing
[23:48] <Rogi_> Ask her what she does for fun?
[23:49] <AmbeeJoybee> we already did
[23:49] <Rowan> still - there would have had to be a reason for her to come to UF in the first place
[23:49] <AmbeeJoybee> She said she writes.
[23:49] <Caspian> yeah i agree. but you said she just registered that name today, right?
[23:49] <Rowan> btw - how many IRC newbies know how to register their name?
[23:50] <Caspian> oh registered on IRC, i thought you meant at UF
[23:50] <AmbeeJoybee> it took me a couple months to figure that out Razz

[23:50] <Caspian> yeah me too Wink

[23:50] <AmbeeJoybee> maybe even 3 months?
[23:50] <Rogi_> Good line of questioning, Amber.
[23:50] <AmbeeJoybee> ty
[23:50] * Caspian nods
[23:50] <Caspian> you all might be right and she could be a troll, i'm just playing devils advocate in case she's not
[23:51] <Caspian> has anyone emailed Stevie yet to corroborate CPs story?
[23:51] <Rogi_> Maldives AND Greenpeace?
[23:51] <AmbeeJoybee> Maybe she is a plant from INEPT or something?
[23:51] <AmbeeJoybee> Razz

[23:52] <Rogi_> Gimme a "T"!
[23:52] <Rowan> greenpeace has IRC rooms?
[23:52] <AmbeeJoybee> T
[23:52] <Rogi_> Gimme a "R"!
[23:52] <AmbeeJoybee> R
[23:52] <AmbeeJoybee> O
[23:52] <AmbeeJoybee> L
[23:52] <AmbeeJoybee> L
[23:52] <Caspian> yeah yeah yeah Razz

[23:52] <AmbeeJoybee> What does that spell?
[23:52] <AmbeeJoybee> Well she is a good troll.
[23:52] <Caspian> and she hasn't blatantly tried to throw us off yet
[23:54] <Rogi_> Even her quit was clean.
[23:54] <Caspian> if she's a troll, what's her purpose?
[23:54] <AmbeeJoybee> My daughter emailed Stevie about Causepoet.
[23:55] <Caspian> Ok good I was just about to
[23:55] <AmbeeJoybee> Her purpose is just to fuck with us for fun.
[23:55] <AmbeeJoybee> That's what trolls do.
[23:55] <Caspian> Well yeah
[23:55] <Caspian> but I mean don't they usually try to cause havoc
[23:55] <Caspian> or throw the players off the track
[23:55] <AmbeeJoybee> She did.
[23:55] <Dionysus> Stupid troll
[23:55] <AmbeeJoybee> She got us all talking about her and not the puzzle.
[23:55] <Caspian> well that's true
[23:55] <AmbeeJoybee> She got a lot of attention.
[23:55] <Dionysus> I spent the whole hting on the phone
[23:56] <Rogi_> Like virus hackers.
[23:56] <AmbeeJoybee> more than if some player had just showed up
[23:56] <Dionysus> Imagine if Seth had shown up then
[23:56] <Caspian> I dunno, I can just easily see myself doing what I was conjecturing earlier when i was a newbie
[23:56] <Dionysus> For a time I thoguht she might be an actual independatn player
[23:56] <Caspian> Going to UF, reading a couple posts, and thinking it was a big RP
[23:57] <AmbeeJoybee> but you wouldn't have found that specific channel, caspian
[23:57] <Dionysus> y'know... one of those non UF people
[23:57] <Caspian> someone just posted about that channel today or yesterday!
[23:57] <Dionysus> I did
[23:57] <Rowan> but this is the thing:
[23:57] <Dionysus> Speaking of posting..
[23:57] <Caspian> it'd be easy to make that mistake and I wouldn't want to turn off a confused newbie to our genre
[23:57] <Rowan> 1: as far as I am aware, this game has not reached outside of the UF community
[23:57] * Dionysus goes to post about Seth's video update
[23:57] <Rowan> 2: she would have had to have visited UF to find out about the game at some point
[23:58] <Caspian> agreed so far
[23:58] <Dionysus> Ah, I didnt know that Rowan
[23:58] <Dionysus> Im not sold on 2.. not entirely
[23:58] <AmbeeJoybee> She knows more about IRC than she let on.
[23:58] <Rowan> thats for sure
[23:58] <Caspian> all i'm saying is that she could have discovered UF today
[23:58] <Caspian> decided OC was the easiest to jump in on
[23:59] <Rowan> and got all the background info that quickly?
[23:59] <Caspian> not really done the reading about the genre that she should have
[23:59] <AmbeeJoybee> Then how did she know Stevie's email address if she just discovered UF today?
[23:59] <Caspian> good point
[23:59] <Rogi_> Thw wiki covers a lot, pretty quick.
[23:59] <Rogi_> *The
[23:59] <Rowan> to have all the background info that quickly and not know that there was another chat room?
[23:59] <Caspian> or she could have just read the OC forums
Session Close: Sat Dec 31 00:00:00 2005

Session Start: Sat Dec 31 00:00:00 2005
Session Ident: #orbital
[00:00] <Caspian> we have even been posting as if we were RPing
[00:00] <Caspian> Ambers "daughter" and what not
[00:00] <AmbeeJoybee> The OC forums have #orbital all over them.
[00:00] <AmbeeJoybee> But our RPing is obvious.
[00:00] <Caspian> i dunno, it just seems weird that a troll would log in just to chat
[00:01] <Rowan> the last troll was just emailing?
[00:01] <Rowan> err..no ?
[00:01] <Dionysus> Posted
[00:01] <Rowan> but what better way to cause havoc then to become a trusted friend
[00:01] <Caspian> very true
[00:01] * Caspian shrugs
[00:01] <Caspian> you guys are prolly right and it's prolly a troll
[00:02] <Rowan> until they are confirmed as a character, or they show up in here or on uf, i'm not gonna really belive what they say
[00:02] <Caspian> but personally i'm not convinced and will stay suspicious of her
[00:02] <Dionysus> As long as it isnt a character, we break even
[00:02] <Dionysus> Even IF its a character I have what I could get of the chat logged
[00:02] <Caspian> yeah i won't take anything she says as true without prook
[00:02] <Dionysus> For future reference
[00:02] <Caspian> *prook = proof
[00:02] <Rowan> because even if she isnt' a character and isnt a troll - its would just mean roleplaying
[00:03] <Caspian> right
[00:03] <Dionysus> Which is good
[00:03] <Caspian> and therefore anything she says is dubious
[00:03] <Dionysus> I mean, I support roplaying
[00:03] <Caspian> totally agreed
[00:03] <AmbeeJoybee> Dionysus, a lot of us have our programs set to automatically log all chats.
[00:03] <Rowan> right, but in a game, we need to know what we can trust
[00:03] <Caspian> right
[00:03] <Caspian> i won't trust her until i get an IG reference to her
[00:03] <Dionysus> OH.. IM still gettign used to using an actual program
[00:04] <Rowan> when we go in saying stuff like "oh, i got my saipet today" we know we're obviously lying
[00:04] <Dionysus> instead of the java script that UF links you to
[00:04] <Caspian> i just don't want to grab the pitchforks just yet, that's all
[00:04] <Caspian> but that's cuz we understand how ARGs work

[21:27] C[a]usepoet: I won't be able to kick back and relax for a bit yet
[21:27] AmbreDeJoie: mmm...mimosas in the hotel bar?
[21:28] C[a]usepoet: I'm traveling in areas that don't allow alchololic drinks.
[21:28] AmbreDeJoie: darn Sad

[21:28] C[a]usepoet: ^shrug^
[21:28] AmbreDeJoie: how about a nice romantic comedy?
[21:29] C[a]usepoet: You know muslim countries will let you buy bottles of booze at the duty free shop then confiscate it as soon as you step out of customs?
[21:29] AmbreDeJoie: Really?? I thought the duty free shops couldn't sell booze either.
[21:30] C[a]usepoet: Oh the one in the Maldives Airport sold it.
[21:30] AmbreDeJoie: *nod*
[21:30] C[a]usepoet: And this poor guy bot a bottle of scotch and had it taken away as soon as he tried to get on board the hotel boat
[21:30] AmbreDeJoie: So no alcohol at all in the Maldives?
[21:30] AmbreDeJoie: Sad

[21:31] C[a]usepoet: I think some of the hotels pay bribes to the officials to get them to look the other way
[21:31] AmbreDeJoie: *nod*
[21:31] AmbreDeJoie: You were just there on vacation. You didn't get to drink any alcohol while on vacation?
[21:31] C[a]usepoet: It guarantees the vacationers pay way too much for their drinks
[21:32] C[a]usepoet: I have better things to do with my money.
[21:32] AmbreDeJoie: What is there to do as a tourist?
[21:32] C[a]usepoet: Scuba diving
[21:32] C[a]usepoet: the reefs of the atolls are amazing
[21:32] AmbreDeJoie: oh! My best friend is planning to go to Belize and is learning some diving so she can dive when she is there.
[21:33] C[a]usepoet: *nod*
[21:33] *** grumpyboy has joined #inquiringminds.
[21:33] C[a]usepoet: It's good to know how to stay safe
[21:33] AmbreDeJoie: But she said she doesn't actually have to get SCUBA certified unless she is planning to dive deep.
[21:34] C[a]usepoet: yeah.
[21:34] C[a]usepoet: Still it is good to know what to do in an emergency
[21:34] AmbreDeJoie: So they aren't going to take the full classes I guess.
[21:35] AmbreDeJoie: Did you fly there from LA?
[21:35] C[a]usepoet: If she was going to deep dive they would have to learn how to stop every so often and allow the nitrogen to work its way out before it becomes a problem
[21:35] AmbreDeJoie: *nod*
[21:35] C[a]usepoet: coming up too fast can cause the bends.
[21:36] AmbreDeJoie: I was wondering how long the flight was to get there.
[21:36] teh_lisa: when i went scuba diving i got a bloody nose and then i threw up
[21:36] teh_lisa: so it wasnt too fun for me Smile

[21:36] AmbreDeJoie: You probably can't fly directly from the US to the Maldives, can you?
[21:36] C[a]usepoet: poor Lisa! why did that happen?
[21:36] AmbreDeJoie: Guess not, Lisa.
[21:37] C[a]usepoet: There was a connection I had to get in India
[21:37] teh_lisa: we were in the dominican republic for our honeymoon and we took the classes the first day but the ocean was too rough to ever go out but they felt bad for us and took us out on our last day anyways and the waves got me sick i think
[21:37] teh_lisa: cp what kind of work do you do? i would love to be able to travel so much
[21:37] teh_lisa: i want to try to get back to japan
[21:37] C[a]usepoet: I'm a journalist
[21:38] C[a]usepoet: I've never been to Japan...
[21:38] teh_lisa: oh like for a magazine or a news paper?
[21:38] C[a]usepoet: Freelance
[21:38] teh_lisa: that's got to be nice...decide what you want to cover etc.
[21:39] C[a]usepoet: only if I can earn enough to pay for the trip
[21:39] AmbreDeJoie: Very Happy

very true
[21:39] teh_lisa: entertainment? or business or sports?
[21:39] C[a]usepoet: otherwise it costs me money
[21:39] AmbreDeJoie: India is a place I would love to visit...
[21:39] C[a]usepoet: Well I cover a bit of this and that
[21:40] teh_lisa: i think if i were a journalist i would like to cover intelectual information like science and cognition
[21:40] C[a]usepoet: Sometimes I cover protests and other times I do medical reporting
[21:40] teh_lisa: protests would be fun
[21:40] teh_lisa: as long as they didnt get dangerous
[21:40] C[a]usepoet: Protests are fun until the police get out the tear gas.
[21:40] teh_lisa: i got tear gassed at a protest once and that was awful
[21:41] teh_lisa: bingo
[21:41] C[a]usepoet: *nod*
[21:41] AmbreDeJoie: omg!
[21:41] AmbreDeJoie: That's horrible.
[21:41] AmbreDeJoie: What were you protesting??
[21:42] teh_lisa: it was an anti-racist protest and part of it was about this thing called cop watch where we videoed cops arresting people and sent them to the media if they were out of line etc
[21:42] teh_lisa: so they didnt like us very much
[21:42] C[a]usepoet: Did you get arrested?
[21:42] AmbreDeJoie: I have seen reports on the people who tape arrests.
[21:43] teh_lisa: i didnt personally but we did go bail out quite a few people
[21:43] C[a]usepoet: Did anyone get hurt?
[21:43] teh_lisa: that was back in my punk rock lisa days
[21:43] teh_lisa: lol
[21:43] teh_lisa: besides the tear gas no one got hurt
[21:43] C[a]usepoet: That's a good thing
[21:44] teh_lisa: yeah they were more just making a statement against a bunch of kids
[21:44] AmbreDeJoie: ugh I have a headache.
[21:44] teh_lisa: i havent been to a good protest in a while i should see whats going on around ehre i bet someone is protesting something
[21:45] teh_lisa: aj: tea and bourbon Smile

[21:51] C[a]usepoet: She would raise up like a begging posture only her front legs hang down
[21:51] C[a]usepoet: sort of like a squirrel
[21:52] teh_lisa: lol
[21:52] AmbreDeJoie: hehe

[21:54] AmbreDeJoie: right
[21:55] C[a]usepoet: Sad

[21:55] AmbreDeJoie: Just wondered if you had heard from her in the last couple days.
[21:55] C[a]usepoet: Just that today.
[21:55] C[a]usepoet: How old is your daughter
[21:55] AmbreDeJoie: okay.. Sad

Hope my daughter gets an email from her soon.
[21:55] AmbreDeJoie: 9
[21:55] C[a]usepoet: wow, third grade?
[21:56] C[a]usepoet: is she an only child?
[21:56] AmbreDeJoie: not an only child
[21:56] AmbreDeJoie: I have 4.
[21:57] AmbreDeJoie: all in bed now!
[21:57] C[a]usepoet: O.o
[21:57] AmbreDeJoie: good thing too Razz

[21:57] C[a]usepoet: How do you manage to keep track of them all?
[21:57] AmbreDeJoie: LOL...I keep them on leashes. Razz

[21:57] C[a]usepoet: Hhehh
[21:57] AmbreDeJoie: ROFL
[21:57] * AmbreDeJoie thinks she's funny
[21:58] C[a]usepoet: I saw a kid in a store wearing a leash once.
[21:58] AmbreDeJoie: Nah, it's not too hard to keep track of them. What is hard is keeping the house decent.
[21:58] C[a]usepoet: it was causing a lot less ruccus than the kids who were free range
[21:59] C[a]usepoet: I guess you have to pick your battles over what gets cleaned up carefully
[21:59] AmbreDeJoie: Yeah but kids are kids...leashes are a bit much in most cases.
[21:59] C[a]usepoet: These days it is more of a safety measure than anything
[22:00] C[a]usepoet: what with the wackos out there stealing kids and all
[22:00] AmbreDeJoie: You can keep your kids close without a leash most of the time.
[22:00] C[a]usepoet: I used to dive under the clothes racks
[22:01] C[a]usepoet: my mom tanned my backside more than once for that
[22:01] AmbreDeJoie: lol Yeah, I have a couple kids who like to do that.
[22:02] AmbreDeJoie: I am rather bored.
[22:03] AmbreDeJoie: *sigh*
[22:04] AmbreDeJoie: What time of day is it where you are, CP?
[22:04] C[a]usepoet: Well it's a bit after breakfast time here. Although people are up all hours of the day and night. If you want to party and such
[22:04] AmbreDeJoie: *nod*
[22:05] AmbreDeJoie: Did you eat breakfast?
[22:06] C[a]usepoet: I guess I should get back to looking for news worthy items. I wonder if I can talk myself into getting that nifty underwater camera. Some of the fish here are just gorgeous
[22:06] AmbreDeJoie: If you get some pictures, maybe you can share them?! Smile

[22:06] C[a]usepoet: I'll talk to you all later.
[22:06] AmbreDeJoie: ok
[22:07] AmbreDeJoie: ttyl
[22:07] C[a]usepoet: TTFN
