07:12 spies6donald: She chose Pete
07:12 spies6donald: Levi's game might be off, sounds like he had a bad weeknd.
07:12 spies6donald: lol, it's not working for Pete, nevermind

07:13 Oswald: we can all help
07:14 spies6donald: right
07:14 Ellis: 17 vs 30
07:14 Ellis: watch if you can
07:14 spies6donald: everyone go watch
07:14 Oswald: i am in there watching
07:14 Ellis: I'll be looking for strategy because I wasn't lying abotu sucking
07:14 Kirsten: I will say that I'm not very experienced with checkers, but I'm naturally very good at any board games I play, so I will give it my best shot
07:14 spies6donald: That board is throwing me off...
07:15 Pete: currently its not working for me, so tell me how ellis is doing :-)
07:15 Ellis: where do i go?

07:20 Boris: ok, someone will take on next move
07:20 Kirsten: that was the right piece to move

07:25 Ellis: she takes one, I take one
07:25 Ellis: but we end up in a better position
07:26 Kirsten: back row destroyed, but it's a matter of breaking up that mess of pieces so the king can do it's work
07:26 Boris: uh oh
07:26 Ellis: I win!
07:26 spies6donald: really?
07:26 Oswald: really?
07:26 Georgia: She ran out of time.
07:27 spies6donald: YES!!!
07:27 Oswald: didn't you lose the first one though because of that, so is it 1-1
07:27 spies6donald: did the first one really count?

07:34 spies6donald: I asked Sam if we could
07:34 Ellis: I don't think you'll get many takers, you'd own us all.
07:34 spies6donald: did anybody see his response?
07:34 Kirsten: I'm guessing that's probably an outside the game communication deal
07:34 spies6donald: That's what I think
