 [11:46] CG: Hello Enzo?

 [11:46] AT: ∴ Ah, hello Eddy. ∴

 [11:47] CG: Just seeing how you were doing.

 [11:47] AT: ∴ I'm doing well, and I met a potential synthesizer player; ∴

 [11:47] CG: Huh?

 [11:47] CG: Who are they?

 [11:48] AT: ∴ He sought me out after reading a post about the band on the forum we met on. ∴

 [11:48] CG: Well can I at least get their handle?

 [11:48] AT: ∴ Indeed, give me one second ∴

 [11:49] CG: Ok.

 [11:49] AT: ∴ transchronicAllegorator, he seemd nice, and is tallented. ∴

 [11:49] CG: Actually I met him before.

 [11:50] CG: I didn't think we would have room for him if Eric was going to be our Pianist.

 [11:50] AT: ∴ Well, my impression is that Eric can play classical piano, and TA could play synth; ∴

 [11:50] AT: ∴ His music is a bit souless, but well executed, I have yet to hear Eric's music. ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [11:51] CG: you sure having souless on our band will do good for our music?

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [11:52] AT: ∴ it can be manipulated, would be a shame to turn away a capable musician; ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [11:52] AT: ∴ Also, doesn't Eric have a hard time maintaining a piano? ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [11:52] CG: I asked vyllen to come up with something such as a program to treat a keyboard like a piano.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [11:53] CG: Or perhaps look a program up to emulate a piano on the computer.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [11:53] AT: ∴ hmmm, I feel we would run into the same difficulty with souless emulated piano noise. ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [11:53] CG: I suppose it's true.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [11:54] CG: If you can handle him being in the band though. Last I heard he told me he was in one of those blackroms with our drummer.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [11:54] CG: I can give you the log of it if you want.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [11:54] AT: ∴ No no, that's alright. ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [11:54] AT: ∴ Hmmm, that might be difficult; ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [11:55] AT: ∴ However, if we are remote for the time being, it shouldn't cause that much drama. ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [11:55] CG: Which was also why I had jack and our harp player come up with ideas to keep an eye on him.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [11:55] CG: He was the guy I told you about before. Though it's too late to keep him out of the band now.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [11:55] AT: ∴ Oh, I see. ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [11:55] AT: ∴ I suppose death threats are part of "black romance". ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [11:56] CG: Long as it stays just threats.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [11:56] CG: and as long as they keep it out of the recording sessions.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [11:56] AT: ∴ However, if he's in the band, we certainly keep an eye on him more easily. ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [11:56] CG: ... Enzo you're a genius.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [11:56] AT: ∴ Truly, everyone has their own private recording sessions; ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [11:57] CG: I kept worrying about him knowing my bandmates in fear of them getting trolled but...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [11:57] AT: ∴ Were you planning on gathering us all in a studio? ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [11:57] CG: Doubtful.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [11:57] CG: more like memos

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [11:57] AT: ∴ Also, I can handel a troll, the trolls can troll eachother for all I care, ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [11:57] CG: I know you can.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [11:57] CG: Definitely can.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [11:58] AT: ∴ As far as you, Eric and Jack, you don't feel threatened by him do you? ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [11:59] CG: I just feel uneasy with him. I have trust issues with just him but you might be right on using him in our band to keep an eye on him.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [12:00] AT: ∴ Something about about Keeping your friends close and enemies closer? ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [12:00] CG: ...damn it ... i got so worried I forgot that saying.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [12:01] AT: ∴ You worry too much, my friend; ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [12:01] AT: ∴ which reminds me, the sister of someone you seem to be getting close to contacted me today. ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [12:01] CG: She wanted to confirm I was a stand up guy through my other contacts.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [12:02] CG: She's really protective of her sister.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [12:02] AT: ∴ She seemed interested in talking to a few more of your friend, particularly our drummer; ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [12:02] AT: ∴ I was a bit hesitant, knowing she has recieved death threats, but this individual doesn't seem threatening at all. ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [12:03] CG: she isn't. She's just concerned.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [12:04] AT: ∴ Something about her demeanor, I found it endearing, though a tad meak. ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [12:04] CG: Probably more sheltered than I was.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [12:05] AT: ∴ Perhaps, hopefully we will talk again, though I'm not sure why we would. ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [12:05] CG: Well if you wanna be social you got to practice being with other people. Talking and communicating are fundamental in expanding ones experience with others.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [12:06] CG: It's how you carry yourself around those you talk to that help.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [12:06] AT: ∴ I suppose, I just find its hard not talking about things I talk about without sounding like a nerd. ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [12:07] CG: The practice helps.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [12:07] AT: ∴ That is true. ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [12:08] CG: I know you'll get it Enzo.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [12:08] AT: ∴ I'm simply not sure what I would talk about or what to talk about. ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [12:08] CG: That's where you learn how to look up current times online.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [12:09] CG: That way you can have other forms of material to talk about or what your day has been like.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [12:10] AT: ∴ I suppose; We could certainly talk about that Sbase game Eric was talking about. ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [12:10] CG: Huh. Wonder why he was concerned about it.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [12:10] AT: ∴ no concern, I've just not heard much about it before; ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [12:11] AT: ∴ I believe you have mentioned it once. ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [12:11] CG: Yeah. Had myself in the raffle for it.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [12:12] AT: ∴ Oh indeed? how does one put their name in such a raffel? ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [12:12] CG: I just asked my mom for it.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [12:13] AT: ∴ Ah, I suppose I could ask my father; ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [12:13] AT: ∴ It may be doubtful he knows anything about such things. ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [12:14] CG: Who knows.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [12:14] CG: I think one of our friends ended up with a parent who just signed them up for it. Eric i think.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [12:14] AT: ∴ Eric had mentioned his mother had signed him up. ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [12:15] CG: Thought so.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [12:15] CG: I was suspicious of the game myself, but trying it out was irresistible.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [12:16] AT: ∴ Truly, I haven't been able to find much about it. ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [12:16] CG: right. Our laser harpist might be able to hack some data up on it from skaianet hopefully.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [12:17] AT: ∴ that would be helpful if he were able to do so. ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [12:17] CG: Would make us quite a resourceful band.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [12:18] AT: ∴ Possibly, I'm not entirely sure what skaianet does a side from make games; ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [12:18] AT: ∴ Do they have any sort of music platform? ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [12:19] CG: Not sure. Even if they did or don't, having a group as connected together as ours can make for a great way of setting up playing together.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [12:19] CG: Which means we can use it for our band synergy practice by learning to play together like a big group.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [12:19] AT: ∴ I could definitely see that, if this game is as interactive on such a grand scale as we are being lead to believe. ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [12:20] CG: It's a big game. Who knows what might come of it.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [12:20] CG: But all this riffing and hype about it is just pointless if we see no gameplay of it to begin with.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [12:23] AT: ∴ I agree. ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [12:23] CG: So it's not like we're cheating rather than we're just looking for a way to get a good peak at what the gameplay might be.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [12:25] AT: ∴ Indeed; we may have enough of a first glimps into the game to not bother with it; ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [12:25] AT: ∴ Though I am still going to inquire about putting my name in that raffle. ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [12:29] CG: If anything, who knows what might happen in the game.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [12:30] AT: ∴ Indeed: I will tell you what I told Eric, If there is a bullet hell section, I will dominate in it. ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [12:30] AT: ∴ Also, it would give me the chance to bring all of our musicians together, perhaps mix and produce the music in realtime? ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [12:30] AT: ∴ if such a thing is possible. ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [12:31] CG: Now that really is something that'll benefit.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [12:33] AT: ∴ Indeed. ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [12:35] CG: Well to wrap up our chat, I can tell Tethys won't want us to keep in her business with roms and quadrants. She seems really self secluded in that section.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [12:36] CG: Which means she'll probably want to make Thiago keep from being open about it.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [12:36] AT: ∴ Perhaps simply tell her that Thiago is in the band; ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [12:37] AT: ∴ Tethys I'm assuming is Our drummer's name? ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [12:37] AT: ∴ She told you her name? ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [12:38] CG: She has, but after telling her about him being open of it she prefered I don't know her name or relations.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [12:38] CG: Meaning saying her name means I just slipped up.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [12:39] AT: ∴ Fair enough. Tethys eh? Perhaps it would be best if I didn't get involved in what is potentially a messy relationship; ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [12:40] AT: ∴ I have no intent of mediating any sort of relationship, though we may end up doing just that. ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [12:40] CG: So we simply prepare of if we have to.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [12:41] AT: ∴ However, it shouldn't be an issue at all, if we stay remote and not have meet up anytime soon./ ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [12:42] AT: ∴ one or both may leave our band by the time we do have a face to face band meeting. ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [12:43] CG: Who knows. If it happens, we'll have to make due.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [12:44] CG: I really don't wanna lose bandmates or friends this soon.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [12:45] AT: ∴ I agree, it is nice having music coming in to mix into songs. ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [12:45] CG: And life situations...Do tend to happen.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [12:46] AT: ∴ Life situations? ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [12:46] CG: having to choose between keeping friends or losing those that cause trouble.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [12:47] AT: ∴ Indeed; It would behoove us to have a memo between all of the band mates sometimes soon. ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [12:49] CG: Well we are responsible.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [12:49] AT: ∴ Responsible? ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [12:51] CG: With this being your vision, and me having been the one who brought you the musicians, it'd be inappropriate to not hold a memo of everyone together.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [12:51] CG: At the least I agree with you on it would behoove us.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [12:52] AT: ∴ Right; ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [12:52] AT: ∴ Would it not have been easier to say you agree? ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [12:53] CG: I'm just for the dramatic and over explained. I'm a FLARPer...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [12:53] AT: ∴ Ah ha, that's right. ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [12:54] CG: It's just my nature.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [12:55] AT: ∴ I understand that; I suppose I haven't noticed it until this moment. ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [12:56] CG: Well let's say it's all in practice.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [12:58] AT: ∴ Indeed. I should send you another chord progression I wrote the other day. ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [12:59] CG: Oh do tell.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[12:59] -- anaximandersTrepidation [AT] send file: guitarchordprogression --

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [12:59] AT: ∴ .doc ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [01:04] CG: Wow... Nice progression.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [01:05] AT: ∴ Thank you, Do you think you would be able to do something with that? ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [01:06] CG: I believe I can make my own mix. I'll give you a sample later.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [01:07] AT: ∴ At your liesure; When you do, I will mix it together with the other music I have so far; ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [01:07] CG: i'll be happy to listen to it when it's done.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [01:07] AT: ∴ I will share the song I have made in the memo with everyone. ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [01:07] AT: ∴ ' ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [01:07] CG: Good to hear.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [01:08] CG: If I didn't have you to help with my troubles, I wouldn't know where I'd be.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [01:08] CG: So again...Thanks for being my friend.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [01:13] AT: ∴ You're welcome; I also should thank you for being my friend, ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [01:13] AT: ∴ Also for helping get Our band off the ground. ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [01:14] CG: It was the least I can do.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [01:16] AT: ∴ Well, it is getting rather late; ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [01:16] CG: Same here. Seeya soon.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [01:16] AT: ∴ Until we meet again. ∴
