Bad Vibrations

I thought I would post this to get other people's reactions on this. Going into this conversation, I really didn't find Mirela all that suspicious. There were two points of evidence against her:

1. Her poor performance in the challenges.
2. Her defensiveness when asked about the poor performance.

This afternoon, I talked to her. The conversation follows. Interesting parts are bolded.

spies6levi (3:39:36 PM): I'm guilty of that sometimes as well
spies6mirela (3:39:42 PM): so what's up?
spies6levi (3:39:53 PM): Not much
spies6levi (3:40:06 PM): Well, I'm trying to convince Kirsten that I'm not mafia
spies6levi (3:40:14 PM): but she's stubborn as a mule
spies6levi (3:40:18 PM): I mean Spy, not mafia
spies6mirela (3:41:20 PM): oh really?
spies6levi (3:41:47 PM): Why'd I get an "oh really?"
spies6levi (3:41:53 PM): Just out of curiosity
spies6levi (3:41:59 PM): That kind of makes me nervous
spies6mirela (3:42:39 PM): well im not surprised
spies6mirela (3:42:48 PM): kirsten has been at you since day one
spies6levi (3:42:59 PM): Pretty much
spies6mirela (3:43:31 PM): why are you worried?
spies6levi (3:43:43 PM): I don't want to be Exiled
spies6levi (3:43:51 PM): I'm a cit (though I don't expect you to believe that)
spies6mirela (3:44:00 PM): do you think that's going to happen?
spies6levi (3:44:12 PM): I know that this week I'm in more danger than ever before
spies6levi (3:44:18 PM): I have no idea if it will happen
spies6levi (3:44:21 PM): But I don't want it to
spies6mirela (3:44:29 PM): who are the other main suspects of this episode
spies6levi (3:44:43 PM): Donald
spies6levi (3:44:44 PM): Faith
spies6levi (3:44:46 PM): Georgia
spies6levi (3:44:48 PM): Well, for me anyway
spies6mirela (3:44:57 PM): im talking about the general public
spies6mirela (3:45:03 PM): who is it the burg is buzzing about
spies6levi (3:45:34 PM): Faith, somewhat
spies6levi (3:45:36 PM): Donald, somewhat
spies6levi (3:45:38 PM): Me, mostly
spies6mirela (3:46:05 PM): well what is the evidence being presented against you
spies6mirela (3:54:38 PM): i don't know who to suspect this episode besides faith
spies6levi (3:55:54 PM): For evidence against me, check the Leave Eye thread
spies6levi (3:56:08 PM): That's a really interesting comment you just made
spies6mirela (3:56:20 PM): about faith?
spies6levi (3:56:42 PM): Yes
spies6levi (3:56:49 PM): You "don't know who to suspect?"
spies6mirela (3:57:08 PM): it's all over the place this episode
spies6mirela (3:57:25 PM): and voting off yvette really shook me up, so i'm kind of clueless
spies6mirela (3:57:44 PM): the only suspicion i have is faith, based on the theory there is a spy between the three remaining girls
spies6mirela (3:58:08 PM): but other than that, everyone is pointing fingers towards different people
spies6levi (3:58:09 PM): That is a popular thought
spies6mirela (3:58:24 PM): i think you are more of a citizen then a spy
spies6levi (3:58:45 PM): Thank you
spies6levi (3:58:50 PM): May I ask you a question?
spies6mirela (3:58:54 PM): i always thought that, i've talked with others who suspect you, and i didn't understand
spies6levi (3:58:57 PM): What makes you suspect Faith?
spies6mirela (3:58:59 PM): why they suspected you
spies6levi (3:59:05 PM): Sorry about changing the topic
spies6mirela (3:59:07 PM): no problem
spies6levi (3:59:13 PM): But I meant to ask that earlier and got sidetracked
spies6mirela (3:59:27 PM): well i'm still confident there is a spy among ariel, iris, and faith
spies6mirela (3:59:41 PM): i don't think its ariel because she's been voting off spies
spies6mirela (3:59:50 PM): although i forgot who she voted for last episode
spies6mirela (4:00:19 PM): i don't think its iris because she did good on the challenges
spies6levi (4:00:48 PM): Hmmm
spies6mirela (4:00:58 PM): i mean, faith is totally weird
spies6levi (4:01:03 PM): I can see where you're coming from with Faith here
spies6mirela (4:01:15 PM): she's so open, and in the beginning extremely neutral
spies6mirela (4:01:21 PM): her method of speech is strange too
spies6levi (4:01:32 PM): Her method of speech?
spies6mirela (4:02:11 PM): the way she presents things, it's just a weird way to talk
spies6mirela (4:02:17 PM): maybe that's me being paranoid
spies6levi (4:03:14 PM): Paranoia isn't a bad thing
spies6levi (4:04:17 PM): I wish Faith's aim wasn't busted so that I could talk to her
spies6mirela (4:05:12 PM): i've talked with her a couple times
spies6levi (4:05:41 PM): I have a question for you
spies6levi (4:06:00 PM): Faith made a thread where she found out the post counts from the posting challenge
spies6mirela (4:06:02 PM): no
spies6levi (4:06:08 PM): Why did you only have 19 posts?
spies6mirela (4:06:12 PM): hm?
spies6levi (4:06:12 PM): And why no?
spies6mirela (4:06:25 PM): sorry that was for another convo
spies6levi (4:06:30 PM): With whom?
spies6mirela (4:06:42 PM): why do you care?
spies6levi (4:06:49 PM): Just wondering
spies6mirela (4:06:54 PM): ooooooo look at me i'm suspicious
spies6mirela (4:06:58 PM): =P
spies6levi (4:07:04 PM): But seriously, who?
spies6levi (4:07:41 PM): *awkward silence*
spies6mirela (4:08:07 PM): i don't have to tell you who i'm speaking too levi
spies6levi (4:08:51 PM): But it would make you less suspicious in my eyes
spies6levi (4:08:59 PM): Right now, red flags are going off in my brain
spies6levi (4:09:08 PM): You are not acting protown at all
spies6mirela (4:09:26 PM): how am i not acting protown?
spies6mirela (4:09:33 PM): i want to vote off a spy
spies6mirela (4:09:34 PM): the end
spies6levi (4:09:52 PM): But now your dodging a question
spies6mirela (4:09:59 PM): okay what was the question?
spies6levi (4:10:04 PM): Who were you talking too?
spies6mirela (4:10:14 PM): LOL
spies6mirela (4:10:57 PM): i DON'T have to tell you
spies6mirela (4:11:02 PM): why do i have to tell you?
spies6levi (4:11:43 PM): I'm just saying, I can't see any reason why it would hurt to tell me
spies6levi (4:12:03 PM): Unless, of course, your chatting to someone who's invisible
spies6mirela (4:12:04 PM): you might be a spy
spies6mirela (4:12:08 PM): DUH
spies6levi (4:12:16 PM): And your pint is?
spies6mirela (4:12:25 PM): i'm not obligated to tell you anything levi
spies6mirela (4:12:30 PM): so stop pestering me
spies6levi (4:12:54 PM): It's not the fact that you were talking to someone else that bothers me
spies6levi (4:13:02 PM): it's your reaction about me asking
spies6mirela (4:13:04 PM): because i won't tell you?
spies6mirela (4:13:16 PM): is that what's bothering you?
spies6levi (4:13:19 PM): But fine, lets go back to a different question if your not going to answer
spies6levi (4:13:29 PM): spies6levi (4:06:08 PM): Why did you only have 19 posts?
spies6mirela (4:13:32 PM): okay, go ahead and think i'm suspicious
spies6mirela (4:13:45 PM): BECAUSE, halfway during the challenge my connection went out
spies6levi (4:14:12 PM): And you didn't bother to mention that to anyone right after the challenge? Or did you?
spies6mirela (4:14:36 PM): no
spies6mirela (4:14:46 PM): okay i messed up on that one
spies6mirela (4:15:00 PM): i should have told someone
spies6mirela (4:15:02 PM): my mistake
spies6mirela (4:15:15 PM): this is hilarious
spies6mirela (4:15:26 PM): i feel with every answer i give you, you think i'm way more suspicious
spies6levi (4:15:46 PM): brb
spies6levi (4:15:50 PM): er, nvm
spies6levi (4:15:54 PM): shortest phone call ever
spies6levi (4:16:25 PM): The disconnect answer isn't that suspicious
spies6mirela (4:16:38 PM): you could be lying to me
spies6levi (4:16:47 PM): About what?
spies6mirela (4:16:52 PM): saying its not suspicious
spies6mirela (4:17:10 PM): when you really do think it's suspicious
spies6levi (4:17:13 PM): It is slightly suspicious, is what I'm trying to say
spies6levi (4:17:21 PM): But what makes it more suspicious
spies6levi (4:17:34 PM): Is that it is added to your defensiveness about the editing challenge
spies6levi (4:17:42 PM): And that you "don't know who to suspect"
spies6levi (4:17:55 PM): And that you are suspecting the most popular case besides me
spies6levi (4:18:05 PM): And the whole thing with your other convo
spies6mirela (4:18:11 PM): are you saying i bandwagoned or something?
spies6levi (4:18:33 PM): I'm just saying, these little things are adding up into one big things
spies6levi (4:18:35 PM): *thing
spies6mirela (4:19:12 PM): levi, if you feel like i'm a case, go ahead and post it
spies6mirela (4:19:24 PM): all your trying to do is get your head off the chopping block
spies6levi (4:19:53 PM): No, I'm trying to find Spies
spies6levi (4:20:04 PM): And yes, I am posting this
spies6mirela (4:20:04 PM): yeah right
spies6mirela (4:20:13 PM): you have NOT been spy hunting
spies6levi (4:20:21 PM): I haven't been Spy hunting
spies6levi (4:20:22 PM): Sure
spies6mirela (4:20:25 PM): all you've been doing is defending yourself and trying to protect yourself
spies6mirela (4:20:28 PM): from exile
spies6levi (4:20:44 PM): So I didn't post a case against Roxy episode 1 in our team's Exile thread and then got her Exiled
spies6levi (4:20:49 PM): She got saved, but that's besides the point
spies6mirela (4:21:00 PM): every episode
spies6mirela (4:21:08 PM): all you've been doing is trying to save yourself
spies6mirela (4:21:09 PM): with paris
spies6mirela (4:21:11 PM): with yvette
spies6levi (4:21:11 PM): So I didn't call Paris out in our team's chat for trying to put words in my mouth and using faulty logic against me
spies6mirela (4:21:20 PM): even now
spies6mirela (4:21:24 PM): you are DESPERATE
spies6levi (4:21:26 PM): So I didn't voice what I thought was scummy in the Yvette case
spies6levi (4:21:30 PM): I'm not desperate
spies6levi (4:21:37 PM): I'm no where near desperate
spies6mirela (4:21:42 PM): haha lies
spies6levi (4:21:46 PM): You have not seen me desperate
spies6mirela (4:22:03 PM): "im scared of being exiled oh no oh no"
spies6levi (4:22:18 PM): Wow, what a comeback
spies6mirela (4:22:25 PM): you've been whining every episode
spies6mirela (4:22:28 PM): man up
spies6levi (4:22:51 PM): How have I been whining?
spies6mirela (4:23:51 PM): every time we talk your so afraid to go home
spies6mirela (4:24:03 PM): and then you bandwagon the hell out of any case
spies6mirela (4:24:09 PM): just so you can protect yourself
spies6levi (4:24:14 PM): 1. I have not jumped on any bandwagons all game.
spies6mirela (4:24:15 PM): this isn't survivor
spies6levi (4:24:34 PM): 2. Of course I've been scared to go home, Kirsten's been attackign me since Episode 2.
spies6levi (4:24:39 PM): Thank you Mirela
spies6levi (4:24:44 PM): I so thought this was Survivor
spies6mirela (4:24:55 PM): well maybe you should take a good look at the boards
spies6levi (4:25:00 PM): With all the Immunity challenges and Tribal Councils and whatnot
spies6levi (4:25:06 PM): Yup, this is definitely Survivor
spies6levi (4:25:11 PM): Good look at the boards?
spies6mirela (4:25:40 PM): levi this conversation is getting stupid
spies6mirela (4:25:45 PM): do you have any more questions
spies6mirela (4:25:50 PM): or can i close this im window?
spies6levi (4:26:11 PM): Close it if you want, but don't try to treat me like I'm stupid
spies6mirela (4:26:27 PM): well you sure haven't done anything useful
spies6mirela (4:26:28 PM): ever
spies6levi (4:26:49 PM): Because you've been the most helpful member of the Burg
spies6levi (4:26:52 PM): /sarcasm
spies6levi (4:27:12 PM): brb
spies6levi (4:28:10 PM): back

Alright, towards the bottom of that it started becoming an argument, but there are some points I want to bring up. The first thing that didn't sound right was this comment:

spies6mirela (3:54:38 PM): i don't know who to suspect this episode besides faith

That sounds like a Spy saying "I don't know who I should suspect this round." A Citizen would never say something like that. They would say that they don't know who the most suspicious person is, that they don't know which of their suspects to vote, or that they don't know who the Spies are. This does not sound protown at all.

Also notice that she says she doesn't suspect me, but she suspects the second most popular case in the Burg. That sounds like a bandwagon, especially when you consider that her only valid reason for suspecting Faith is the whole fake case scene. Method of speech? A wierd way to talk? What is that supposed to mean?

And then, she slips up. She randomly types the word "no" in our conversation. "No" is not a suspicious word. She wouldn't tell me who she was talking to. I find this interesting because when that comment was made, the only three people who were signed on, besides those who were obviously leaving their computers signed in while they were away, were me, Jenya, and Mirela. If she was talking to Jenya, why wouldn't she have said so? There was no point in not saying it. This makes me suspect that someone was on invisible talking to her, and the only reason I could see for being so secretive about this is that they were up to shady activity.

After that, she answers the question about 19 posts. How convenient that her computer got disconnected in the middle of a challenge. A challenge that would be great for the Spies if the Citizens lost. On its own, I could see her forgetting to tell someone. But that, coupled with everything else that happened, is just increasing the suspicious activity against her.

Also, while I was talking to Mirela, I mentioned things that I found scummy to Jenya. With every thing I mentioned, she started defending Mirela more and more. It's hard to explain in words, but I will post the chat log later. I don't know if two chatlogs in a post would get me in trouble with Sam or not.
