Convo with Mei Yun 5/24

I talked to Ariel, Gretchen, Oswald and a very long one with Donald during that convo.

Mei Yun did have a long convo with me during that period when she went invisible. I think it would probably be better to just use away statuses, though, but with how much we were talking, she couldn't have been talking with a fellow spy any better than if she wasn't invisible.

I'd like to start by saying, while I believe there are reasons for Mei possibly being a spy, I don't know that being invisible in itself is enough to suspect her. It seems quite a few people have been using the invisible feature this game, and I know it's not only the spies.

I was probably the first to go invisible. My reasoning was I am usually not home, so I wanted to keep my home computer logged into the chat rooms, logging the chats for future reference, and I didn't want to appear as being "available" when I really wasnt. I don't remember specifics, but somehow I was logged in as invisible while I was actually available, and I had to explain myself for that.

Mei Yun was invisible before on our team, and was attacked for it, along with I think 3 other players on our team who were invisible at the same time. I don't remember if the others posted a reason or not, but Mei did. She explained that she didn't want to be interrupted when having a big conversation with somebody. At the time, I took note of this and held it against her just a little bit, because I didn't know specifically who she could have been talking to, but today while I was talking with her, that confirmed it.

Mei also explained in our exile thread that she never logs out of aim. She's always logged on, and goes invisible when she's not there. This I believe is a more valid reason, moreso than when chatting with somebody and not wanting to be interrupted (that's what away messages are for), and for reasons Mei posted in the exile thread, are decent reasons.

Also, I recall seeing in some other team's thread, somebody had apparently gone invisible. I don't know who or why or what happened, but it seems apparent that a lot of people have used invisible mode. So many that we can't just say "You were invisible, you are suspicious." I definitely agree being invisible is very convenient for chatting with your spy buddies, but seeing somebody as invisible needs to be coupled with something else to be good evidence, in my opinion.

I am actually becoming tired of invisible mode. I understand if people want to use it, but if that many people are really using it, it is hard to come online and find no one there. I understand if people will talk to me if they want, but what if I want to talk to them? It is impossible.

The forums and PMs are slower than AIM, if it's urgent and/or the player is available. You can customize your away message to suit your needs; working/studying, cooking/eating, sleeping, out of the house, etc.

I think away messages are better than going invisible for this reason. Otherwise, if you want to talk to somebody on AIM who uses invisible, you'd have to just talking to them and hope they respond.

I understand you, Mei, use invisible mode to ignore others when your're focused on somebody, but not everybody is this way.

Doesn't Khaled get his own thread?
