I forgot to start a new thread. Sam, a question about the Time Capsule: After we're exiled, do we still have access to the Confessionals? I ask because I'd like to do a two-part message. Words to be read either way, and a video that would be shown only if I'm already Exiled. I would do this by changing the privacy settings on the video. They'd be set to no one as long I'm alive, so the video won't work unless I'm dead. But if I'm dead, I'd have to come back into the confessional to change the privacy settings in order for it to work. As you may have guessed by now from my exit from the chat last night, I have a flair for the melodramatic.

we're actually in episode 4... your episode 3 thoughts were smooshed into your episode 2 topic haha. i edited the topic titel for you.
yes after you are exiled the password to your confessional is the same one as the other accounts.
I really like the text + video idea! we'll extend the deadline for you by a day or two if you want to do that. =) that sounds really cool.

Okay, thanks, that's great! I'll do it over then tomorrow. It will give me some time to plan what I want to say in the video. Oh, and I've got to find a veil somewhere.

Sam, I made my video for the time capsule, just having trouble uploading it for some reason. If you could give me one more day I'd appreciate it.

Well, I might as well take my time out as time to update my Confessional. I spent two days off AIM thinking I'd already been JAILED, only to realize today that it wouldn't happen until the Imprisonment and it might not happen at all due to the Jason thing. Anyway, if I was going to be JAILED it would like highly suspicious if I was very quiet for a long time and then suddenly got jailed. Like it was a Spyish plot or something. So I came on AIM today saying I'd been discouraged by the Yvette exile but I was back fighting. Talked to Levi first. We trust each other almost 100%, which doesn't make a lot of sense considering the way the Exile worked out. I told him I still believe him but if he turns up Spy it would break my heart. Levi, someday when you read this, what I meant was it'll break my heart when you find out I'm a Spy. But he said I shouldn't say that, MeiYun said that just before she was Imprisoned, and he might be a curse. I told him I wasn't too worried but gave him some last words to pass on in case I was-- Imprisoned, that is. Then he was fighting with Georgia. We decided to tagteam her, to go 2 IMs at once in the hopes of getting her to slip up somehow. I talked with Georgia and built a totally circumstantial but plausible case on her. Her defense of my "suspicion"-- her line in the Day One chat where she said something like, "It would be really bad for the power to go outside of the Spies hands," and then never answered when we questioned her on it-- was actually plausible. Fortunately she had JUST told me she suspected Levi due to his conveniently "forgetting" things and then remembering when he was pressed on them. This is exactly what she did in the chat with me so I was able to make it look suspicious. I don't want her gone, actually, I just want it to look like I'm independently suspecting people. At the same time I told Levi that I would be voting for Donald or Amelia, as I was certain that the last minute pileup of votes on Yvette must have been one of them rousing their Spy buddies to save them. I hope he remembers this and posts it while I'm jailed. That way I can be on record as anti-someone-who-will-eventually-turn-up-Spy-if-I-outlive them. Simultaneously, Kirsten came along. We just had a friendly chat. I mentioned my suspicions of Georgia to her. Can't remember if I also said the same thing about Donald and Amelia. I'm able to be pretty consistent because I just convince myself that I actually believe the stuff I'm saying. It's still okay to talk on the Spy board, right?

Oh, and thank God I'm Jailed because this new voting thing...gee, I guessed you were going to use Borda voting (where you have to vote your top 1, 2 and 3 suspects with 3 points, 2 points and 1 point respectively)...this is like Borda voting in Hell on crack. I just see so many opportunities for it to be dangerous for the Spies in the end. Maybe I'm over-thinking it and it'll just be random/weird for everyone. But I'm glad I don't have to participate. And I'm still going insane with the video. It came out perfectly, and for some reason the file size is too large and I can't get it to upload anywhere! I guess I'll have to look for my old webam, which took better pictures anyway and didn't cause that problem.

I don't want it on Youtube...I did try Veoh...it took 2 hours and then it says the content is not there. I'll try again tomorrow. It's 174 mb. Hmmm, let me go look at Veoh again, maybe it just wasn't fully "processed" yet. If not I'll do it again tomorrow with the other webcam. Oh, and thanks for the great "JAILED" thread! I'm reading it and it makes me look oh so innocent!

I hope that last line wasn't sarcastic thanks haha, not sure how to read it.
174 MB!!!! I download entire 30 minute tv shows that are around that haha. You must have a super high res camera.
What might work is to open up Windows Movie Maker on your computer (comes with XP/Vista). Import in this movie file then do 'save as' and pick any regular way to save it. That might cut down on the file size a lot.

Okay, thank you, I'll try that! Yeah, the video is under 2 minutes long so something is wrong then. No, that last line wasn't sarcastic, I meant it, I loved the thread and I thought it made me look really innocent!

And thank you, you pinpointed the problem...the files are somehow saving as AVI. So even though they're not high res, they seem to be. I'll have to do it again and make sure to save it as WMV and then I'll be good. My next confessional posts...well, I'll have to work on them a bit but I figure Citizen Iris would be furious that she was jailed just when she was getting back into Spy hunting. One of my favorite lines is "I will not be silenced," and this is how Iris would react. So she's going to make long confessional posts analyzing who might have jailed her and what has been said and not said in the burg. I can't come out screaming at Levi, though, as I'd planned, because I told him I trusted him fully. If he were a Spy and were the jailer, it would make no sense for him to jail me when he's taking heat and I've been supporting him. Oh, I truly hate to say this because I really like Levi, I want him around just for fun, but it would be really excellent if he got Exiled. It would cause chaos. Better go post that on the Spy board.

I LOVE YOU SAM! Sorry for the outburst, I'll calm down now. That was not sarcasm, it was for the "I provided some details about the jailer role and that's all I'm providing."
