MAJOR SPOILERS S P O I L E R S SPOILERS AHEAD! 
READING THIS GUIDE CAN RUIN A LOT OF THE 
EXPERIENCE OF TALKING TO SEAMAN THAT MAKES 
THIS GAME WORTH PLAYING! READ ON ONLY IF YOU'RE 
PREPARED TO LOSE THE ILLUSION OF SEAMAN'S LIFE-
LIKE ACTIONS.

IF you just want help on what to say, read ONLY
 Section 1.
IF you're prepared for many spoilers, read on.

Explanation: Seaman is an unusual game for the dreamcast. Some people don't
even consider seaman a game. It mostly considered a "virtual pet." You 
raise it by feeding it, supplying its air, and make sure it's tank 
is the right temperature. Sooner or later you even have to raise the food 
for it separately.

     The main feature of Seaman is the ability to talk to your pet, via a
microphone included with the game. That is where this guide comes in. 
The main point of this guide is to help you know what you can say to seaman
during certain points of the game, and how he will respond.

     A problem with the microphone/game is that it doesn't always 
what you're saying correctly. It may mishear your talk for another word. 
Just be sure to talk clearly and don't use any long sentences. For this game,
more than 10 words at a time are probably too long. 

     Most of the time, you only need to say one or two keywords for seaman 
to understand you. And in my opinion, using only keywords to talk to seaman 
is the best way for him to understand you. Only use long sentences when 
you know he will hear you correctly, and when you want to show off to your 
friends that you're having good conversation with a game.

     Since the most important aspect of this game is what you can say to 
seaman and how he can respond, this FAQ can be considered a big spoiler. 
So I cannot stress enough how you should NOT read on if you don't like things
being ruined for you.

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
% SECTION 1: ! WORDS %

These are just a few of the words seaman will respond to. Your VMU 
will display a ! if said correctly.

LEGEND:

"WORD... sounds like, sounds like, sounds like"

-WORD: KEYWORD seaman hears.
-Sounds Like: Words you say that seaman may misunderstand as the WORD.
-A question mark (?) after a word means seaman may be hearing a 
 different word.

Explanation:

     When your seaman is in his gillman stage, you are finally able to 
get some decent responses. Before, during his parachuter and early 
gillman stages, he would not respond, or just repeat what you said. 
The stage my guide is (currently) built around is the middle gillman 
stage. You can tell he is in this stage when he speaks in a deeper, 
more adult voice.

     Not only do you get varied responses when you talk to him, but he 
will also ask you some questions. Sections 3 will tell you what 
questions he asks, what you can respond with, and how he will react.

     Section 4 deals with the riddles he asks you when you try to move 
the big rock during his podman stage.

     Section 5 deals with what he will respond with when you say certain 
words.

     In the list of responses, I only list the KEYWORD needed to trigger 
a correct response. It is possible to make complete sentences around the 
word to get the same response. I only list what words are needed.

General Legend:

     "Words in quotes are things seaman will say"
     [Words in brackets are not direct quotes; they are taken from memory]
     {These are actions seaman will do}:
          {Crap Shoot}- He flings feces at you/front glass
          {Yawn}- He yawns
     "Quotes with a -- following means it may be a misheard response"--
     [ -- following brackets means the same, it may have been misheard
     by seaman] --

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
% SECTION 3: Question and Answers %
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

Explanation: A short while (few days) after your seaman reaches his 
gillman stage, he will begin to ask you a series of questions. 
     This section will deal on what questions he asks, and in what ways 
you can respond. Most of the time it will be best to answer with 
a simple yes or no. Of course, you can also answer these with 
"yup", "yeah", "nah," and possibly more slang.
     The first two parts before section one deal with what he 
says when he wants to ask you a question. When he asks/says these 
statements, you only need reply with ANYTHING (! and ??? responses 
both work), and then you will be asked a question. If you don't reply when
seaman wants to talk, he will respond with a different 
statement, and he will be mad at you. Later on, when he is in a good 
mood, he will try to get your attention again.
     It seems that the way you answer certain questions will determine 
what later questions will be asked.
     Usually, when seaman finishes a set of questions, he will be tired again,
and will not ask any more questions for maybe a day or two. IF he was only
put in a bad mood by you ignoring him, he will not ask another question
until he is in a good mood again.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

=====================================
= When he's ready to ask a question =
=====================================
"Hey I got a question or two for you."
"Hey let's talk... are you there?"
"OK, one more time."
"Come on stay with me here."
"Let me ask this again and this time I'd appreciate an answer."
"What do you say, so that question I asked you before... oh yes..."
"Seriously, I want to know.. I said."
"Let me repeat the question, I said..."
"Ok, one more time... I said..."
"Come on, stay with me here..."
"Once more with feeling..."
"Hey you..."

==================================================
= When you don't answer or he doesn't understand =
==================================================
"What?.. what?.. I can't hear you... "
"Hmm... I'll try you again later."
"Wait... time out... I'm not feeling good all of a sudden."
"Maybe you should think this over. I'll be seeing you."
"Oh well, we'll try again later."
"Let's think about what you said, shall we?... I'll see you later..."
"Hold on hold on... there's... something in my eye..."
"Oooh I'm all talked out for today."
"Tomorrow... we'll talk again tomorrow..."
"See... when I ask a question, you're supposed to answer it... let me know if 
I'm going to fast for you."
