 		when I talked to baggachips, he said the master hasn't been around recently. Some of them are starting to worry.

Think it'll be something to do with that? lmao apparently there's wifi in the house and begga formed himself to use it.

 		And I'm done. Here's the log:

highwind767 (01:42:49): Hey. Got your contact from a friend, and decided to contact you myself. Hopefully you're enjoying yourselves, and having a good time


Auto Response from BaggaChippz (01:42:49): CELEBRATING CONTACT ON SHELF FOUR


BaggaChippz returned at 01:55:16.
BaggaChippz (01:55:40): hello!
BaggaChippz (01:55:42): who might you be?
highwind767 (01:56:00): I'm Highwind
BaggaChippz (01:56:11): Hello, then, Highwind!
BaggaChippz (01:56:14): it's so great to meet you
highwind767 (01:56:1Cool: Same here
highwind767 (01:56:37): So did you finish up your party?
BaggaChippz (01:56:59): it's winding to a close, yes
highwind767 (01:57:0Cool: Enjoy yourselves?
BaggaChippz (01:57:47): absolutely. Today will forever live on in history as The Day We Made Contact
highwind767 (01:58:04): I suppose it was a necessity to celebrate then?
BaggaChippz (01:58:26): it most certainly was
highwind767 (01:58:40): Have you been talking to many more people yet?
BaggaChippz (02:01:4Cool: so many
BaggaChippz (02:01:49): it's amazing
highwind767 (02:02:10): Hopefully we haven't overwhelmed you. Are we bothering you?
BaggaChippz (02:02:29): no, this is exactly what I had hoped for
BaggaChippz (02:02:31): the others will be so happy
highwind767 (02:03:03): Yeah, I expect they will be. I guess they still aren't too familiar with this stuff yet then?
BaggaChippz (02:04:43): no
BaggaChippz (02:04:45): today is all new
highwind767 (02:05:0Cool: First time using all this then? You'll all get better as you go along
BaggaChippz (02:07:16): thank you for the confidence
highwind767 (02:07:36): Oh no, it's a fact. Practice makes perfect after all
BaggaChippz (02:07:55): Picture perfect?
highwind767 (02:08:22): No, just normal perfect. That's a different figuer of speech up here you see
BaggaChippz (02:08:42): oh
highwind767 (02:09:10): It's confusing at first, but you'll get the hang of this sort of thing after you talk to some more people
BaggaChippz (02:12:11): I hope so
highwind767 (02:12:33): Anything you want to know about out here from me?
BaggaChippz (02:13:53): I have heard Master speak of something called String Theor
BaggaChippz (02:13:55): Theory
BaggaChippz (02:13:5Cool: can you explain that to me?
highwind767 (02:15:4Cool: Hm, I'm afraid not. From what I can see of it, it's very complicated stuff. Does Master Smith usually talk about this sort of thing?
BaggaChippz (02:17:17): I recall him mentioning it when he opened the Cupboard Door on March 15.
highwind767 (02:17:59): Well, I assume you guys have access to all of the internet because of the website, so would you like something that will help you all out?
BaggaChippz (02:18:35): ok
highwind767 (02:18:51): http://en.wikipedia.org
highwind767 (02:19:21): That's an online encyclopedia, which means that there's a lot of information on different things in there
BaggaChippz (02:19:22): that is astounding
highwind767 (02:19:4Cool: Type what you want to find into the search area, and you can see what the website has on it
BaggaChippz (02:20:54): It is also used by websites as a spamdexing technique to fill a page with keywords that a search engine will recognize but are not visible to a visitor. However, Google has taken steps to prevent this by parsing the colour of text as it indexes it, and checking to see if it is similar to or the same colour as the background, and giving those pages much lower rankings.


BaggaChippz (02:21:01): this is amazing
highwind767 (02:21:33): I take it that's a part of Google's entry there?
BaggaChippz (02:21:43): There is so much Knowledge.
highwind767 (02:22:0Cool: Yup, a lot of people have put a lot of work into it, and there's more being added constantly
BaggaChippz (02:26:45): I must go for a while, Friend
BaggaChippz (02:26:47): Until soon!
highwind767 (02:26:51): No problem
highwind767 (02:26:57): I have to go myself
highwind767 (02:27:09): I'll try to talk to you tomorrow
BaggaChippz (02:27:27): ok.
BaggaChippz (02:27:34): thank you for the Gift of Wiki
highwind767 (02:27:43): No problem. Later!

lol, Gift of Wiki. I loved that part Laughing
Still, advanced science isn't what I expected from a bag of crisps.
Anyway, it's late here, so I'll see you all later!

BaggaChippz (02:11:22): of course not
BaggaChippz (02:11:26): this is new for you too i assume
BaggaChippz (02:11:30): unless you have spoken with other bags of chipz?
thirdpinion@ (02:11:36): You could say that!
thirdpinion@ (02:12:43): Why do you call your Master "Master", if you don't mind me asking?
BaggaChippz (02:13:17): why do you call your food "food", if you don't mind me asking?
thirdpinion@ (02:14:14): LOL. Good point!! So, having made contact, what would you like us to do for you?

BaggaChippz (02:15:11): The Master doesn't listen
BaggaChippz (02:15:11): .

 		A second chat with him.

Quote:
mtKelvin07: I found your website.
BaggaChippz: oh did you?
mtKelvin07: Yes, I did!
BaggaChippz: that's wonderful news
mtKelvin07: I like the way it is. I saw your friends and their names.
BaggaChippz: oh, THAT website
BaggaChippz: yes
BaggaChippz: they are quite the crew
mtKelvin07: What do you mean by THAT website? There's another one?
BaggaChippz: I wasn't sure what you were talking about
BaggaChippz: sometimes a bag of potato chips contains a lot of air, you know
mtKelvin07: yYeah that is true.
mtKelvin07: What are you doing and the rest of your friends?
BaggaChippz: most of them are still partying with Ollie and Kooky
mtKelvin07: Now who are Ollie and Kooky?
BaggaChippz: Ollie Oreos and Kooky Cookie
mtKelvin07: nice. that makes me hungry. hehe.I remember you mention something about shelf four
BaggaChippz: that's where the party's at
mtKelvin07: Who lives on shelf four?
BaggaChippz: that's the Junk Shelf
BaggaChippz: don't tell them I said that
mtKelvin07: I won't.
mtKelvin07: So everyone else from the shelves went down to the fourth one to party?
BaggaChippz: pretty much, yes, but Gary Granola is here
mtKelvin07: Ah cool. Why do you guys want to contact the Outsiders? The Master is strict or easy going?
BaggaChippz: He's easygoing
BaggaChippz: but we want to Learn
BaggaChippz: to Know
mtKelvin07: Know what? Learn what? Keep talking. Maybe I can help
BaggaChippz: We want to Know about the Great Beyond
mtKelvin07: You consider my world, the Great Beyond?
BaggaChippz: yes
BaggaChippz: your world
mtKelvin07: Or just Beyond the fridge?
BaggaChippz: the Great Beyond
BaggaChippz: do not speak of the Fridge
mtKelvin07: Why?
BaggaChippz: it is Cold.
mtKelvin07: Oh I see.
mtKelvin07: I will just call it as you wish - the Great Beyond. I hope you are able to get help from me and others to reach the Great Beyond. I'm sure you and your friends will LOVE it here. Then you can be out of the harm or good hands and into freedom from your Master.
BaggaChippz: my Master is Good

 		When games include a lot of AIMing with characters, it's very tiring to go through all these chat logs (and can be a barrier to entry for other players).

Please consider giving a summary or highlighting any new/important information from the conversations in the body of your post. Please!

 		Wow, giving Bagga a link to Wikipedia might have been a bad thing.

If you search for 'Alias' the first suggestion is "Alias (TV series), an American television series starring Jennifer Garner."

Heh.
