Jenya's Final Thoughts

[Jenya]

Bye guys, it's been fun. The spies are absolute fools if they don't take me tonight. I can protect myself to the Final Three and I'm pretty sure make a ridiculously bitchin case that makes it clear I'm a Cit. If I'm kept around, it must be because a Spy thinks my suspicions are so screwed that I'll carry them to the win. Actually, I've been trying to keep an open mind. Here are the primary cases I see and how I think you should proceed with them.

Mirela felt like a Cit to me at Exile 12, but I could be wrong. Gretchen appeared to be a foregone conclusion (Pete, Jason, Kirsten, Levi all giving her 3 votes pretty much sealed her fate. With Pete's 2 on Mirela and Gretchen's 3 on Levi, it would have taken Mirela 3 + Jenya 3 + Levi 2 Kirsten 2 Gretchen 2 Jason 2 to exile anyone else.), but Mirela was pissed all day and not content. From what I can tell, she felt more genuinely like I did than anyone else in the Burg. I've gotten that Cit feel from her before and I have to trust SOMEONE at this point. It's Mirela. She didn't want Gretchen dead. Her voting record sucks, but she feels Cit. And now I see Kirsten and Levi coming after her like wolves and yeah, it all makes sense.

I should probably Exile protect her for 13. I'm still considering it. If I was fooled at four exiles into protecting a Spy, I'll feel pretty dumb. But if I die, just know, that was my instinct on Mirela.

[Jenya]

Ok, so yeah, please don't exile Mirela. She's weird and semi-logical like Boris was lazy and Gretchen was jolly and casual sometimes, but weird =/= Spy. 95% sure. Could be wrong, but I don't think so. Hit the wolf, not the weak sheep in the flock.

At the Final Five, I suggest that you make SURE it's a 4-1 vote. Don't rest until you have a 4-1 consensus. Figure out who everyone's voting for, and make sure four of you are voting for a spy and that spy can vote for whoever they damned well want.

[Jenya]

Jason could be a spy with either Kirsten or Levi. He might be the reason I've survived this long--because I've trusted him and somewhat protected him. Keep an eye on him. I don't think you should exile him first though. Put him on the spot about every other remaining player. Grill him about his past votes and why he was so sure on Almathea when no one else was and why he was ahead of the curve on Amelia. I have semi-confirmatory evidence that he's a Cit, but if Sam told the Spies what our powerups were in private, that's not confirmatory. I don't think Sam would do that but you never know. So yes, keep an eye on Jason but don't exile him first unless you are REALLY sure. He felt fairly Cittish to me all game. And he's voted five times for Spies. And he risked attacking Yvette when he could have laid low with his circle of trust. I dunno. Watch him but don't exile him first unless you're REALLY sure. Note: he WAS feeding info to Kirsten at exile 12 when Mirela and I were trying to get him to vote Kirsten, so beware that pair.

Pete also has an excellent voting record. Voted for five spies, including being on Jaya before anyone else at Exile 2. He's come across thoughtful and sincere all game and I've never felt deception or evil from him. He could be a Spy, possibly, but I don't think so. Please don't exile Pete first either.

That leaves Levi and Kirsten. If Kirsten is as smart as I think she is, she planned the following early in the game:

1) KirstenSpy attacks LeviSpy and DonaldSpy.
2) The weaker of LeviSpy and DonaldSpy gets exiled eventually, and this makes both KirstenSpy and the stronger other Spy look fantastic and they coast to endgame.

This explains why Kirsten so readily hopped between Levi and Donald early in the game. Because she wanted it clear that she was on the trail of both so when one came up Spy she was guaranteed glory.

Amelia tried to tie Kirsten to Donald and Donald defended Kirsten. Weird, huh? He COULD be a genius spy trying to make KirstenCit look bad when he goes down, but I don't think so. Donald wasn't THAT good.

I could be wrong about one of these two, but I feel it in my bones that at LEAST one of the two is a Spy. That's why I strongly suggest that you make this a Levi vs. Kirsten exile. Make them vote each other and then the rest of you agree on which one to exile.

You win if you hit a Spy, and you may have a 100% chance since I think they're the final two spies. You lose if the final spypair is:

Pete-Jason (unlikely--5 spies on my original team)
Pete-Mirela (not feeling it)
Jason-Mirela (also not feeling it)

Levi swore he'd make a case on Kirsten for days and either be a hero or the biggest idiot in spy history. Then he never made the case. Why? Kirsten would have had his balls if he did. If Levi's a Spy and Kirsten's a Cit he would have made the case.

When we asked them to go after each other, they were ready to vote the other, and they "argued" for about 45 minutes and then backed off and proclaimed each other Cits. Fishy as hell.

Make it a Levi vs. Kirsten exile. Look at all the old evidence. Figure out which is the better case. Kirsten will defend herself better, but she's the more likely spy due to how the last 6 exiles went down. Good luck. I'll miss you guys.

[Jenya]

Ask Kirsten about not helping me protect Ed.
Ask Kirsten about voting Levi solo twice instead of contributing to an exile.
Ask Levi about all his votes.
Ask Levi about this:

spies6jenya (4:14:35 PM): The only thing that made you look Cit all game was you being the Donald alternative.
spies6levi (4:14:36 PM): And claimed my role after episode 2
spies6levi (4:14:45 PM): Not my vote on Amelia over Thor?
spies6jenya (4:14:45 PM): Which Kirsten engineered.
spies6levi (4:14:50 PM): Not Mei Yun's Imprisonment?
spies6levi (4:14:54 PM): Not Ed's Imprisonment?
spies6levi (4:15:01 PM): Not how you led me on with your Mirela test?

spies6jenya (4:15:05 PM): Why did those Imprisonments make you look Cit?
spies6levi (4:15:12 PM): Mei Yun trusted me
spies6levi (4:15:27 PM): If I was a Spy I'd have no reason to Imprison her, especially that early in the game
spies6levi (4:15:33 PM): (and here's where you call WIFOM)
spies6levi (4:15:51 PM): I posted a case on Ed before I left for a week either the day of the Donald Exile or the day before
spies6levi (4:15:59 PM): Because I found him suspicious and didn't want the lead to go cold
spies6jenya (4:16:04 PM): Honestly Levi, you should know better.
spies6levi (4:16:04 PM): And he got Imprisoned the next time
spies6jenya (4:16:15 PM): We all suspect Ed was chosen well earlier.
spies6jenya (4:16:25 PM): And that the spies would try to treat him like anyone else
spies6jenya (4:16:32 PM): Maybe even OOH make a case on him
spies6levi (4:16:34 PM): Touche
spies6jenya (4:16:36 PM): So they'd look better.
spies6jenya (4:16:38 PM): Subtle.
spies6jenya (4:16:40 PM): Not.
spies6jenya (4:16:43 PM): Besides.
spies6jenya (4:16:45 PM): As a Cit
spies6jenya (4:16:58 PM): I haven't once really felt super compelled to point to an Imprisonment of all things
spies6jenya (4:17:01 PM): To clear me.
spies6levi (4:17:04 PM): I completely forgot
spies6jenya (4:17:11 PM): "Hey look, something the spies engineered makes me look Cit!"
spies6levi (4:17:12 PM): That he was chosen in advance
spies6jenya (4:17:25 PM): "I couldn't have possibly planned that if I were a spy!"
spies6jenya (4:17:34 PM): Cits are Cits because of scumhunting.
spies6jenya (4:17:44 PM): Not for who's Imprisoned.

[Jenya]

7pm, I'm done. Good luck!

[Jenya]

ps. I could always be wrong--do your own homework! <3

[Jenya]

Well, for like the 12th time I've posted my final thoughts unnecessarily. Since I'm still alive, I must be completely wrong about everything, so:

Vote: Pete Vote: Jason

Hope to see you guys online over the weekend!
