Looks like this is it for me, huh? I can't say that I wasn't expecting to be exiled this round, but earlier on in the game I never would have thought this would happen. You'd think they would let me defend myself before exiling me. Scratch that, of course they wouldn't. They didn't let Yvette, Donald, Iris, and Thor defend themselves, so why the hell would they let me defend? I guess it's mainly my fault, although I could not control the lightning storm that cut off my electricity, disabling me from defending myself further. It was probably my abrasive personality that brought me down, or my citizen-like ability to speak my mind at all times. Who knows what they were thinking when they exiled me. Oh well, what's past is past. I'm going to miss everyone, yes everyone. Including dumbass Roxy. She was pretty awesome when I first met her, she just took things too seriously. I can't wait to contact everyone after the game! I'm going to try and make this post HUGE since I have procrastinated all game long from writing in my confessional. I apologize for that.
I'm going to leave everyone some compliments and advice, even though they can't see it. Hopefully it helps them for future mafia-type games that they enroll in! Before I start, I want to say that no matter what these say, I really enjoyed everyone in the game. Every single person played a role in making this game an extremely worthwhile experience.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Jenya: Melissa, it was very clear to me that you were a citizen early on in the game. You constantly scum hunted, and took paths no spy would take. I wanted to meet you after the game since I LOVE your playstyle, but the final episode is making me re-consider. You used completely bad arguments against me. They were HORRIBLE and easily refuted, although the defenses were ignored. From your picture, I thought that I wouldn't like you, but I like your personality. Thanks for keeping me on my toes the entire game!
Compliment: Keep the playstyle, I love it.
Advice: Don't make cases, you suck at it. You are way too paranoid. You pointed the finger at about everyone at least once in the game. That could potentially be helpful, but more often than not it makes you look like a desperate spy. Make sure to balance the good and the bad of each player before going to exile them using contrived reasoning.
Ariel: Who's Ariel? For some reason that name reminds me of a citizen that tunnels, is useless for the entire game, and feels insulted if you ask her a question. On a serious note, I hate players like Ariel. You know, the ones that start off in the beginning with a position of authority but never actually use it to HELP. They just sit on their high throne and look down at everyone doing work for them. I like the facts that she roleplays a bit with her character, e.g. the violin notes. Too bad she is probably a citizen, since she will end up losing the game for us if she ever reaches LYLO. On a lighter note, I enjoyed playing the mini-mafia games, and she does have a nicer personality although it CREEPED the heck out of me.
Compliment: This is tough. Good job winning the Lotta Power challenge!
Advice: Learn mafia terminology and don't play too much with your emotions.
Roxy: I think you are like the underdog of the game. You started off playing with little mafia experience, if any at all. You were also exiled the first round, which probably stressed you out a bit. You annoy the hell out of my with your posts in the Burg, but I think you are a decent person. I had pretty good chats with you on AIM early on.
Compliment: Good job on not bandwagonning!
Advice: This is mafia, not survivor. Always remember that.
Mirela: HATER. Don't contact me after the game.
Compliment: Once in a while, you actually make sense.
Advice: Commit suicide.
Boris: I like you since you gave me the tiebreaker.<3 You got a little annoying near the end of my stay since you kept asking me for chats, and your goodbye to me was LAME, but i still think you giving me your power early on makes up for it.
Compliment: Your cop joke post was hilarious.
Advice: Start playing the game more actively earlier.
Levi: Stupid Jordan couldn't even realize that if I was a spy I could have easily got my spy partners to accuse you with me a long time ago, and you'd be out. If you used your head you would have avoided exiling a citizen. I hope the spies imprison you soon. Even if you get exiled I won't be too sad, although you are a citizen.
Compliment: I like your picture.
Advice: Don't buddy up; reference Roxy's advice when in need.
Gretchen: I like your vibrant, happy personality. Don't stop being Gretchen, we love you when you are chubby and full of glee. I'm very happy that you defended me, even if you could be a spy. I don't think you are though, so lucky you. You didn't really understand things that we said sometimes, and we didn't understand you either at times. It's okay though, because that's just you.<3
Compliment: Your very tolerant of others making jokes about you, which I absolutely LOVE about you.
Advice: Don't joke too much, there needs to be a balance between fluff posts and game-related posts.
Yvette: I love Yvette's character. You came off strong right away once the game began. You posted in our team's workroom accidently, which I found funny. I really did think of you as a mother figure, and I think you played your character quite well. The vast array of vocabulary only inhanced your character since Yvette is intended to be very educated. Not weighing the good and bad about you was a huge mistake on my part, and for that I apologize. I shouldn't have jumped on that slip that you made when Paris flipped, but you have to admit that it was a huge peice of evidence. All the same, I look forward to speaking you after the game!
Compliment: Love the character.
Advice: Don't leave. Ever. Scum will use the opportunity. They did it with me as well.
Ellis: BUDDY! Although you didn't tell me that you actually had the Protector role when I was the one that led Almathea's exile, (I don't even know why you wouldn't) I really consider you a good buddy of mine in the game! You totally agreed with my case on Almathea, and luckily my case proved to be correct! If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't have had enough confidence to stick with my vote on Almathea very likely. Although you told me not to vote Jaya, I still think you did me a favor at that point. I would have been imprisoned WAY earlier than I was exiled, so I thank you for allowing me to extend my length of Spies gameplay.
Compliment: I really like your positive attitude and excitable personality.
Advice: Don't trust people too easily.
Gabriela: Your imprisonment was a big surprise to me, Gabriela. I was clicking on people that I thought were citizens but weren't going to be exiled first, and in the third click.. BAM! You were imprisoned. I didn't even get to tell you that I decided you were my grandmother and that Yvette was now your child. What a messed up family tree we have. As slutica has previously stated, your one liners crack me up at times. Especially that one where Sam told you to be patient and you said that you didn't know how much time you had to live. Also, the picture you posted in the "How will you look in the future?" thread made me laugh.
Compliment: I like your funny remarks.
Advice: This is tough. Don't get imprisoned so fast?
Iris: Out of the spies found SO FAR, you are my favourite. I really like you, and I think that you were a really nice person. I enjoyed talking to you the first time, and I really felt that you were a citizen due to our initial chat. Thankfully I did not hold that view for long. I find it funny how I was trying to act pro-citizen to you in that chat, yet it didn't really matter. What a waste of an awesome conversation. Just kidding!
Compliment: Your reaction to Paris' flip was perfect. Congrats.
Advice: Make sure to see how many people are acting going to vote you before making the fake role claim.
Faith: I was so sad when you were exiled. Not as sad as when Thor was exiled, but I was definitely still sad nonetheless. Faith is so sexy, and hot, and awesome.. I liked you right when I first seen you. I never got that AUTOGRAPH I asked you for when I first met you, but meh. Hope to talk to you after the game, David!
Compliment: Nice picture! I LOVED your exile video!<3
Advice: Don't use the defense (Example): "I know I am a citizen, I just don't know how to show you that I am."
Donald: To be honest, I don't really know what to say. You appeared helpful in the exile two discussion chat, and your PMing of Gretchen seemed really pro-citizen. Hope to get to know you better after the game!
Compliment: Good job PMing Gretchen, the hard-to-reach player.
Advice: If Pete ISN'T a spy, you DEFINITELY should have jumped on him. You, or at least Jaya should have done so.
Callahan: I liked how you handled your exile. I'm trying to hurry up what I say since I am SO lazy, but I think you tried your best, despite what people may say. I believed you, to say the least.
Compliment: I like how you treated this as it is, a game. You didn't take it too seriously, and for that I applaud you.
Advice: Don't assume that everyone that is nice to you is a citizen; refer to your trust in Iris-spy as an example.
Amelia: I always change my mind on your alignment, but one thing that won't change is that I really like you as a person. I don't agree with your belief of using AIM for the majority of the game, but once you stopped lurking you showed a lot of original views and ideas.
Compliment: You think outside of the box. That's a good quality.
Advice: Don't use WIFOM in any of your defenses.
Oswald: Although I didn't really meet Oswald #1, #2, OR #3, i think you were a great asset. I really think that you were the winner of the choose your role contest, and I think I know what your role was. I might be wrong, but that is my belief. I hope Oswald #1 is dealing with his infirmity positively, and perhaps we will meet in the future!
Compliment: You were on to Donald really early. Congrats.
Advice: Don't hint about your role, I could have been a spy.
Thor: I'm glad that I met you on this game! You are probably the best friend I made on this site. We got along SO WELL. I was SO DEPRESSED when you left me. I should have defended you more, but I thought that Kirsten was bluffing about you leaving that exile. I didn't see any clues of you leaving. I enjoying talking to you frequently, and I would say that I look forward to talking to you after the game but I already have.
Compliment: TEH SEX.
Advice: You're already 100% awesome, can't get better.
Mei Yun: I miss you Mei Yun! I love your playstyle, and I love the way you came to me before you were almost exiled and said good luck to me! I can't wait to get access to the Loser's Lounge to talk to you!
Compliment: You were as active as me, yay!
Advice: We both have the same problem, we appear to attack people when asking them a question. I don't see anything wrong with that, but I think it's something that we both need to work on unfortunately.
William: My game mechanic loving friend! You are extremely emotional in my opinion, and you always feel like you are getting attacked when I make witty remarks or question you.
Compliment: You played well for having a role.
Advice:Don't lurk and don't take the game personally.
Jocelyn: Eliminated.
Compliment: N/A
Advice: Don't say that you know things that an innocent should not know about.
Khaled: You really like to drink, I know that. Sometimes I think you are a spy, sometimes I don't. Right now I am leaning on the fact that you ARE a spy. I hope you are the next exile, but I know that you very likely won't be. Your analytical posts had a helpful percentage of about 48%, and that's pushing it. It was stuff that I could easily find out myself, so it was just a convenience.
Compliment: Good job buddying up to citizens!
Advice:With your analzing, you should be able to easily make well-written cases. I think you are a spy, but you would blend in better if you made at least one case.
Georgia: I like your attitude and your continuous refusal to follow anyone else's cases without you forming your own opinions on the case/player. I found it ironic that you became the Devil's Advocate since you are a natural at that. Thanks for speaking good thing about me when I was exiled, I appreciate that. Ari- nevermind, this is about you. Good luck, catch us some spies Georgia! ..Unless you are a spy, then go ahead and win the game, i'm cheering for the spies!
Compliment: I like the fact that you aren't a follower.
Advice:Sometimes considering other people's cases can prove to be beneficial, even if you don't FULLY agree with them.
Jaya: I like you as a fellow player. I thought you were a spy for a lot of the game until hour before your exile, but I liked you. I don't know why you wouldn't tell me that you played Spies before, but now you can tell me who you were previously!
Compliment: You posted enough in the Burg to avoid suspicion, and yet you posted little enough to avoid major suspicion. The major evidence against you was the fact that you voted with Almathea, but you played a decent game for the first two episodes.
Advice:Don't lurk in the AIM chats.
Jason: I really like you. You were like the second person I spoke to this game, and I love how you roleplay your character. You keep it consistant which is awesome. I look forward to seeing how you really speak after the game.
Compliment: Good roleplaying! Keep it!
Advice: Bad case-making! Fix it!
Robert: You played a strong and solid game throughout your stay, which was interrupted very early unfortunately.
Compliment: Strong scumhunting immediately at the start of the game.
Advice:Pay attention to reactions.
Paris: I feel bad for you because you had to play as the most uninformed group in the game. You were alone and had to hope that you could get exiles on citizen while trying to avoid spies. It must have been hard for you when you got exiled due to your connection to Almathea. I would have been really frustrated with that role, and I hope to see how you experienced it by reading your confessional after the game.
Compliment: Great "scumhunting" and leadership at the beginning of the game.
Advice: As a traitor, you should have tried to avoid major connections to anyone.
Almathea: Probably my second favourite spy so far. I really enjoyed speaking with you during the beginning stages of the game. Although you gave me a weird vibe, I really doubted my vote on you last minute after your final plea for me not to vote you. Unfortunately it wasn't enough, as my vote for you remained. Hope to see you after the game!
Compliment: Nice picture, nice personality.
Advice: Don't over-react to pressure/suspicion.
Ed: It sucks that you left, I viewed you as both a citizen and a player with useful input at times. If I was you, I would have claimed the impending imprisonment publicly so that I would have potentially been able to be saved. Even IF it was a citizen testing you, you should have came forward. What's past is past though, and I hope to speak with you soon!
Compliment: Good job for suspecting people that others deemed clear!
Advice: Don't play while you're drunk.
Tiberius: Oh look, it's a sheep! You are so fake, and your posts after my exile are disgusting. I still think you are a citizen though. Thanks for being there for me in episode one, too bad you deserted me shortly after. I'll think about talking to you after the game after you called me a moody spoiled brat.
Compliment: You are very pleasant in non-game AIM chats._____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Advice: Don't bandwagon. Form suspicions of your own.
I am going to miss the game. Spies 6: The Union has been an exhilarating experience and I hope that I will be able to play in a future season. I'm going to miss all the players. I love all the unique and interesting personalities that this game had. In my opinion, our season had the best set of players. I might be prejudice due to me actually playing in this game, but compare and see for yourself. Although Spies 4: Schism does come in close second. I had lots of fun this game. I was extremely active, and the game was a large part of my life. Funny how addicted I got. I didn't expect the game to be that interesting, although I was very excited when I got the acceptance email. I loved every moment playing this game, and I feel honored that Sam has allowed me to play. This has definitely improved my playing ability, and I had gained a considerable amount of experience from this. I especially enjoyed the mini-mafia games we played with each other, and the drama in the Burg kept me on my toes. It was interesting and made the game more lively. I can't wait to reunite with everyone after the game! I think we should all hold a HUGE reunion very soon. I'm going to miss playing, but i'll leave a lot of commentary in the Loser's Lounge for the players that are remaining to look back to.
I loved speaking to Thor the most in the entire game, although Jenya and Kirsten come in close behind. My biggest regret is exiling Yvette, as I think she would have been a great asset. I think I should have allowed her the opportunity to defend herself, but I really thought the evidence was solid. I wish I could have used my anonymous message, since I had a great plan to impersonate an already eliminated player and contact a player I felt was a suspect. I would give them some directions, and if they preformed them I would have a little more trust in them. Here is the part that I typed up BEFORE I got exiled:
*While sleeping, you start drifting off into a dream. You see a figure in the distance and hear a voice*
"(PlayerName)! Help me, i've been trapped within the time capsule! There is a way for me to come back. You need to do something before the time capsule is opened!"
*You recognize the person to be none other than Ed*
"In order for me to return from my imprisonment, you must post- Uncompleted.
I also wish that I had wrote more details and explanations in my time capsule, along with more of my views. I did not get to finish my time capsule due to procrastination. I apologize, but we have a good group of citizen so I think they will do well regardless. Although to be honest I wouldn't mind if the spies win, since they deserve a win after so many citizen wins.
I would LOVE for Pete to be a spy, because that would totally justify my very horrible case on him exile two. To be honest, I wasn't totally sold on Almathea being a spy. I only suspected her because her play matched the way she played as scum in the mini-mafia game. I'M GLAD I WAS RIGHT! I'm also happy that I was right about Jocelyn. Hell, I was right about almost everyone! Take that Jenya. Screw you and your "Citizens wouldn't know" theory. The best aspect about Roxy is that she absolutely detests fake people. I completely agree with her! After my exile, I seen a couple players begin to show their true colours.
My guess for the final three spies is:
I'm like 99% WRONG, but this is the best guess I will make.
There has to be one more male spy, so I just hope I chose the right one.
I never got to post my views on Khaled, but this is something I was working on:

Many of you know who Khaled is by now. I certainly didn't know we had a Khaled until around the end of episode two. Khaled was known for his annoying and useless analytical posts early on, as well as having suspects so equally scummy that he needed to use random.org in order to decide which one should leave first. Now the big question everyone is asking: Is Khaled a citizen or a spy? In my opinion, if one of the remaining players in The Stronghold is a spy, it is Khaled. I'm not saying we should exile him, but if you are looking to exile someone from the team, it should be Khaled. Why, you ask? Let us start off by examining his voting record and his actions behind those votes, as he really likes to do with other players.[/quote]
I really like the format of this post! Wish I could have used it ...
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Overall, the game was AWESOME, my experience was PERFECT, and the players were SUPERB.
I will definitely rate this game 10/10 and recommend it to anyone looking for an ORG to play.
I hope that everyone remembers the awesomeness that is Rey.

Edit: I found a LOT of spelling mistakes.
Amazing thoughts on everyone individually and the game as a whole. I'm really glad you had such a blast. Actually (as of now anyway haha), this has been my absolute favorite game to host out of all of them. The game was so much fun to host it all kinda zipped by so fast, that I didn't even realize we were 2/3rds done until this break when I realized I only had like 15 players left and the game could almost be over and I was sad haha. Funny how when you are having so much fun time zooms by like that.
