Reasons Why Jenya Sucks

[Yvette]

With how much of a gigantic evil stupid bitch she has been since the beginning of the game, there is no way I'm going to be able to survive more than 24 more hours with this waste of life.

So here is a thread to post in every time she pisses me off

[Yvette]

1. She doesn't know how to let things go. If she suspects you for a fake case, she will continue to try and clinch onto whatever she may, just to not concede defeat. I am sorry that I outsmarted you about a lame case you were trying to make against me, and you weren't intelligent enough to realize that Robert and I were clearly making really, really bad cases on one another.

[Yvette]

2. Yesterday you kept insisting that because Callahan was our only confirmed citizen, and he said that I am a spy upon his exile, I must be a spy.

Well, not only is Robert a confirmed citizen, but he also helped to catch a spy. And according to his actual conversations with me, he did not trust you, Jenya, and he trusted me quite a deal. Also, he says Georgia. Go figure.

I love how Jenya was making such a huge splash even when there were like 30 people in the game.

And that she miraculously stayed the whole way through.

Miraculous? She was a Spy pet. :-p Spy pets make it to the end... ALWAYS. Still, gotta give her credit for everything she did to make the game interesting.

I disagree. Jason and Pete wanted Jenya out like every round and came oh soooooo close to Imprisoning her several times. The entire Loser's Lounge thought Jenya was a Spy and while this did not affect the actual game that could have made her an Exile target. Plus she was a little bit of an Exile target in the beginning.

From what I've seen, I'll go halfway with you both here... Jason and Pete trying to handle Jenya was like trying to hold a rattlesnake in midair by the tail. You have to manage it very very gingerly, and watch for fangs.

My vote right now is for "spy pet". Especially after Pete's analysis of her - "she could be so useful".

Strong personalities don't usually do a good job in leading the exiles. Just saying.

[Kirsten]

Ah, spy pets.

[Jenya]

If Yvette had ever taken me up on the relaxing baths with sea salts and footscrubbies, I think she could have enjoyed her last few days a lot more.

After reading this, I feel a little less bad about exiling her. Sorry, Yvette, but it's true! There actually WERE evil spirits emanating from you, but you weren't a spy. Oh well.

This is partly why I wanted to play a completely different strategy this game - get out from under the shadow of Reicheru. It worked well, I think.

Having said that, the biggest problem the citizens have had this whole game - and this is what I would have put in the advice thread this episode, as I said in my confessional - was people not sticking to their guns.

[Note for alumni: It's like we had half a dozen carbon copies of Jack from Spies 3 - who came the closest out of anybody before the finale of Spies 3 of actually exiling a spy, and then allowed that spy to change his mind at the last minute and exiled a citizen role-holder instead (remember who that was, DC? ) - and all of them were the strongest or most vocal people in the game.]

I think the spies were very smart with some of the less "obvious" early imprisonments because the people they took out - especially Mei Yun, Gabriela and myself - were the ones who'd push their own agendas aggressively when it came to exile. Unless you have a situation like in Spies 3, when that kind of player is completely wrong in their suspicions and the spies can manipulate them effectively to their own advantage, this is the last thing the spies would want to deal with later on in the game.

[Jason]

From a Spy's perspective - The Spy closest to Jenya - I can say that she was definitely NOT a Spy pet at all. Jenya terrified me every single episode and while I desperately wanted to get her out of the game every step of the way, I became addicted to the danger of keeping her around, knowing that if she turned on me I'd most likely be dead. So... Pete and I decided about 2/3 of the way through the game that it was risky and potentially stupid, but that we were keeping her until the end of the game.

But she definitely wasn't a pet or controlled by us; Jenya is intelligent, analytical, and a very dangerous entity. The only problem is that she was also stubborn on Cit suspicions :/
