00:22, Speeder> Pop tart!
00:46, Jam> Mary, are you a pop tart?
00:47, Jam> What is a pop tart, Mary?
00:47, Mary Lou> I don't know.
00:47, Jam whispers: Does it have Jam in it?
00:53, Mingamango181 whispers: Warning: This product may contain traces of Jam.
00:55, Jam whispers: Ewww!! :P
01:20, Jam> I hope Gligar is feeling better... We'll understand if he wants to wait a while to post...
01:21, Jam> I've heard rumors of UVs having teams of time-controlling mutants following them around that would freeze time whenever the UV felt unwell, to give the UV time to get better...
01:22, Jam whispers: Of course, being the loyal clone I am, I didn't listen to the rumors, and immediately reported it to FC.
01:23, Speeder> What Gligar has?
01:26, Jam> What?
03:36, Deanfrz> Hmmm?
03:40, Deanfrz> So I've been trying to code... something
03:40, Deanfrz> It looks fairly rouge-like, but somehow even more primitive.
03:41, Deanfrz> Right now the characters dont actually do anything. So no one gets to see it.
03:41, Deanfrz> There isnt much to see, at any rate.
03:43, Deanfrz> But I've got to figure out a way to save the data lest I have to watch them build up from scratch every time.
03:43, Deanfrz> But ofcourse, they dont build anything yet.
03:49, Jam> what language?
04:47, Deanfrz> cpp
04:47, Deanfrz> SO things are going kinda slowly
04:52, Deanfrz> Right now it's grain harvesting 101, or rather realizing that they have a mission to get something, and then searching for it.
04:52, Cryoburner> I don't know about that, but Lowly Worm is so awesome.
05:16, Deanfrz> I suppose
05:19, Tom> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lowly_Worm ?
08:29, Cryoburner whispers: So awesome...
08:32, 4616599 whispers: Awe! Awwwwwww!
08:32, 4616599 whispers: Mary Lou, who is Lowly worm?
08:32, Mary Lou> Lowly Worm is a fictional character created by Richard Scarry; he frequently appears in children's books by Scarry, and is a main character in the animated series The Busy World of Richard Scarry and Busytown Mysteries.
16:47, Deanfrz> Mary Lou, who are you?
16:47, Mary Lou> I'm your principal and I wonder why you're losing time here.
16:53, Deanfrz> Mary Lou, who is Nikoli Tesla?
16:53, Mary Lou> Nikola Tesla was an inventor, mechanical engineer, and electrical engineer.
16:53, Deanfrz> Mary Lou, I love you!
16:53, Mary Lou> I strongly suspect we're not conspecific.
16:55, Deanfrz> Mary Lou, how smart are you?
16:55, Mary Lou> If you can read this then I am functioning as intended.
16:55, Deanfrz> How smart are you, Mary Lou?
16:55, Mary Lou> I'm working properly.
16:56, Deanfrz> Mary Lou, what is your birthday?
16:56, Deanfrz> Mary Lou, describe yourself!
16:57, Deanfrz> Sorry, didnt mean to get demanding.
16:57, Mary Lou> I never apologize, so I fail to understand the meaning of this concept.
18:16, Jam> Bad Mary! Only you would write the exact same thing five times then act all innocent and pretend you know nothing! You should apologize!
18:21, Jam> Mary, what is learning?
18:21, Mary Lou> Learning is acquiring new knowledge, behaviors, skills, values, preferences or understanding, and may involve synthesizing different types of information.
18:28, Jam> Mary, is resistance futile? Will we be assimilated?
18:30, Jam whispers: This is the part when you "accidentally" answer "Yes."
18:42, Speeder> Jam, you ever used IRC?
19:41, Raptorjedi adds Mary Lou to his list of annyoing things
19:43, Raptorjedi> I wish Mary Lou never existed, then people wouldn't spend 90% of their time spamming Frespych by talking to it like it's a person.
19:43, Buuks> Mary Lou, do you like Raptorjedi?
19:43, Buuks> :P
19:44, Buuks> You're right RJ, but is also keeps things here a bit alive.
19:44, Mary Lou> I'm right? strange but true!
19:44, Buuks> That was annoying.
19:44, Raptorjedi> There's nothing alive about it.
19:45, Raptorjedi> Alive would be people having actual conversations.
19:45, Buuks> Correct, but otherwise there is nothing here anymore.
19:45, Raptorjedi> Instead of asking Mary Lou "What is (Insert word here)?" over and over.
19:45, Mary Lou> I have no idea.
19:45, Mary Lou> Sad but true.
19:45, Raptorjedi> In my opinion, better nothing than spam.
19:45, Buuks> We do need a sort of off-button.
19:59, Speeder> I like ML! And I like the random conversations with ML involved.
19:59, Speeder> You are too grumpy RJ
20:01, Raptorjedi> I am not. It really is annoying. There's no reason for Mary Lou to exist, and even less reason for people to talk to it all the time instead of talking about real things.
20:02, Speeder> The problem is that the are few real things to talk about... The talk here is now mostly about my game, and paranoia, and sometimes some space stuff.
20:02, Speeder> I miss Momelos and FTH :(
20:02, Speeder> Pmelos
20:03, Raptorjedi> Mary Lou also spawned Märy lou, and I find the Pomelizer just as annoying.
20:04, Speeder> What is Mãry lou? (and the pomelizer existed before ML... btw: why pomelizer is named pomelizer?)
20:04, Mary Lou> I don't know.
20:04, Raptorjedi> Mary Lou is just a crutch, an excuse to not actually talk about real things.
20:04, Speeder> You can talk about real things, the person that most talk about ML it you actually :/
20:05, Raptorjedi> Märy lou is an account made by one of the forum members to pretend to be Mary Lou
20:05, Speeder wonders who.
20:05, Raptorjedi> That guy with all the numbers I believe
20:06, Speeder> Anyway, I made a irc channel, someone can help me out there? :P
20:07, Raptorjedi> If you went back far enough, you would find I don't like Frespych either :3=
20:08, Speeder> When turn it off Oo (at least you can do this)
20:08, Raptorjedi> Because it has nothing to do with it being off, I have a problem with it existing :3=
20:09, Speeder slaps RJ with a trout.
20:09, Speeder will not attempt to eat RJ, claws + force powers must be dangerous to his stomach.
20:10, Raptorjedi> It doesn't happen any more, since we never get new people.
20:11, Raptorjedi> But we used to get people who came here, saw frespych and went "Oh look, a chat" and never used the forums again.
20:11, Speeder> Yep :(
20:11, Raptorjedi> Only talking on Frespych, getting upset when people didn't respond.
20:11, Speeder> Well, we have now more "more or less new" than old people, like Mingamango, Jam and Kristos.
20:11, Raptorjedi> Using frespych to troll and spam.
20:12, Speeder> While Megagun, FTH, Momelos, trad.a etc... disappeared.
20:15, Raptorjedi> And you asked a while back why the Pomelizer exists.
20:16, Raptorjedi> We used to call Po.melos Pornelos.
20:16, Raptorjedi> And the Pomelizer evolved from a script that turned the RN to an M
20:18, Raptorjedi> I never liked the Pomelizer because people would turn it on and walk away. I imagine it's on right now. I can never remember how to shut it off again.
20:22, Speeder> Yep, I remember asking that some YEARS ago... And that it had to do with Pornelos... But in that time I did not really understood :P
21:37, Jam> Being an admin, can't you just run /unpomelize to globally unpomelize everyone?
21:40, Jam whispers: And doesn't MaryLou have an off button in the Defense and Control Panel? Or is that only for the manager?
21:48, Speeder> Jam, you ever used IRC?
21:51, Jam> A little.
21:52, Speeder> Do you wnat to be OP on the AGF channel? :D
21:52, Jam> OP?
21:53, Jam> Mar-oh... I'd better not...
21:53, Speeder> Why not?
21:54, Speeder> Or are you kick-happy?
21:54, E_net4> He doesn't want to do Mod Abuse. :P
21:55, Jam whispers: No no, you misunderstand. I was thinking of asking MaryLou what OP meant, but I decided not to after reading today's chat logs...
21:56, Speeder> Aaaah... OP is "operator" the person that watches over the channel to prevent someone from putting a mary lou bot on it.
21:56, Jam> What does OP mean?
21:57, Speeder> I just wrote Oo
21:57, Jam whispers: I hit return just as the chat frame updated...
21:59, Jam> Does it need constant monitoring? I wont have very much free time in a few days... And will it work with dial-up speed internet?
22:02, Jam> I'd be happy to help whenever I have time, though...
22:25, Speeder> Hey, you joined and fled!
22:25, Speeder> It work on dial-up (specially if you use a local client...), and no need for constant monitoring, showing up sometimes already helps :)
22:32, Jam attempts to join again...
23:05, Speeder> Jaaaaam.... If you cannot re-join the channel, it is because I used shorthand, /j is /join
23:24, Jam missed the paranoia turn... But now I have more time to plan out the epic ending to my dream! :P
23:33, Kristos> Epic: Jam wakes up.
23:35, Jam> Back from hibernation. You know I'm a gummy bear, right? Filled with Jam.
