My spies list is sort of like X's!: Almathea! Iris! Yvette! Paris! Amelia! Jaya! Donald! Paris wasn't a Spy, eh? Back to the drawing board But really, Jaya and Paris were the easiest ones. The remaining 5 may prove to be more elusive, especially since the Spies didn't know of Paris's win condition. From a watcher standpoint, there are a lot of obvious citizens running around and a few obvious Spy lynches. The Spies have their work cut out for them. I hope they use the break to distance themselves from the game. The extra time may help them decompress and get their acts together.

Ah we're back to posting huge chunks of conversations with exiled Spies. The remaining 5 of you: you should see this coming, so if I were you I'd edit your transcripts with Jaya, be it chunks or full conversations.
And to answer Gretchen's question: "I still want to know why Jaya would not admit she has played the game before. I can't wait to hear the purpose of that. It's either yes or no. It doesn't mean I will be able to work out your identity and give you a + vote. But the paranoia was clearly there."
The moment you confirm that you're a veteran, you invite people to hound you about your identity.
There are several negative consequences:
- The stupid "s/he has a better chance of being a Spy because s/he was one before / s/he has a better chance of not being a Spy because s/he wasn't one before" piece of "evidence"
- People second-guessing or making assumptions about your play (even though the last game of Spies was over a year ago!)
- Higher risk of exile - you're not just talking one extra vote - in some cases it could mean many extra votes (see spies2Roger's exile, spies3Judith, spies4Masaki, the spies5Shizuka/spies5Skittle setup, etc.)
- Higher risk of imprisonment (like spies5Brody - and if anyone had ever figured out I was spies4Summer or spies5Darla I guarantee I wouldn't have made it to endgame)
- More time spent fending off identity-guessers rather than doing your job (hunting Spies or framing Citizens)
So perhaps it would be wise to stop initiating the metagaming process Gretchen, eh?

Nicely done citizens. It looks like I picked the wrong group to root for this far. Nailing 2 spies and a traitor in the first 4 exiles is an excellent start to things. Don't expect it to be this easy from here on out though. At least, I certainly hope the other spies do a slightly better job of blending in with the general population or this game will be over pretty quick. Again, nice job all around to everyone.

I think the players should change their avatars too for future week.
I do need a few status updates though:
- Casey, I know you like Jason, but remind me who he is again? Have I seen him post once?
- Did Pete, Amelia, Ellis, and William idle out a few rounds ago?
- This "Gabriela" made me laugh with her tombstone picture. But where did she come from? Has she been here the whole time?
- What's the difference between Donald and Oswald? I'm guessing Donald's a Spy while not really sure on Oswald's identity, but it's like all their posts are made by the same person.

I have a new sigline!
Kirsten: I'm going to create calculated posts in the burg accusing you of being a spy. Donald: Really? What purpose would that solve? Wouldn't that just result in people being suspicious of us? Kirsten: That's madness talking. This plan is brilliant beyond belief. Donald: I'm on board. Sounds dirty. Kirsten: Oh, it is dirty. I can only hope 2 other spies get caught in the meantime.

Hola! I'm actually in a melancholy mood today. Don't know why. I think it's the weather. Today it was cold and shitty. And school is almost over I can taste it. I also can't wait for the new season of BBUK to start on Thursday. First things first though, I was wrong about the last exile. They snagged another spy! And a traitor! Good for them. Actually BAD for them, since I'm rooting for the spies and all. I just hope they can do better than the travesties of Almathea and Jaya. I thought they weren't going to get a spy and were going to exile the idiot Georgia instead but they didn't. Good job (I guess). Paris left... That was lame. I liked him a lot. Jaya I didn't really have a huge opinion on one way or the other, but she looked like a plastic doll so that creeped my shit out a little bit. The worst part of this whole situation is that my darling Mei Yun is gone! Right after I kick her out of JAM she gets imprisoned! The spies were probably waiting for me to do that so that I wouldn't get mad at them. It's OK Mei Yun, you're still the Empress in my heart. And your imprisoning was kind of eclipsed by the Futures going in, that was a bummer. R.I.P. MEI YUNGONE, BUT NOT FORGOTTEN And now, what's up with the AY part of JAY? Ariel and Yvette where did you vanish off to? I can't root for inactive whores. Be active again or I'll boot you out of JAY and replace you with Rey and Faith and it will become...JRF or something. Not quite the same ring, but whatever. The bottom line is you two ladies better come back or I will not be pleased. The good news is I think people are starting to think a little bit more as the game is in its third round. Levi and Ellis, who I think are pretty much the same person, seem to be playing smarter and trying to catch spies more. Jew nose Jenya's calmed herself down after making a mockery of herself last round, and my man Tiberius is keepin' it real. Those four have improved since last round and it's beginning to be fun to watch what they have to say and how they all act. I agree with DC when she asks where the heck half of these people are. Pete? Mirela? Oswald? Georgia? William? Khaled? Ed? Gretchen? Boris? BORIS?? There's a BORIS in this game!?! Who knew. Oswald only appears when anyone says something even slightly incrimidating about him, and then he runs back into the shadows like a kindergardner who only talks when someone calls him a name, and then he tries all day to come up with a retort. Khaled really irritates me because the only time he ever posts is his "analysis" of OTHER peoples' posts. Give me a fucking break. It's hypocritical to do some mathematical thing against other people when you don't even post in the burg enough for other people to do it to you. Georgia is another one of those amateur players who seems to think they only need to post when someone says something bad about them. Get over yourself, thanks. There are other things you need to be worried about. Like, you know, catching spies and stuff. Idunno just an idea. Gretchen the jolly fat doughwoman seems to be in a planet of her own, almost always kind of going against whatever the rest of the burg things. Don't conform to the burg, Gretchen, don't you conform. Thor's posts in the burg lead me to believe that he is a cyborg with no emotion, but when he posts in this thread (and shows me that he really loves Glambert) he makes me giggle. So I don't know what to think about him. RRR, Roxy the Resident Retard hasn't been killed off yet, to the distraught of all of the burgers and viewers. Spies, can you just lynch her? Ugh. Donald v. Kirsten. I don't even know what to think of that situation. Since I like them both. Donald reminds me of X and Kirsten reminds me of Jillian. I feel bad for Donald since I think he's getting a raw deal here, but I'm not playing so I don't see all angles of the case. And Gabriela is showing her smarts more and more each round, I knew she would be the smart cookie (I called that you know). While I am elated that Jason is showing himself to be a wonderful spy hunter in his case against Yvette, I wish it wasn't against Yvette. She is too hilarious to go now! There are way too many lurkers and I don't think the burg will get anywhere if Yvetteypoo goes. I knew Jason had it in him! The worst part is looking at the thread and all of the people who just kind of submit to the case and are changing their votes to her. All aboard! And I can make exile tonight! Hooray! See you then.

Citizens: I would've exiled Yvette too. From a watchers perspective, she was shady as hell all game and did nothing but cause problems and drama (which I guess isn't all bad because it made Casey happy). Time to pick yourselves up, dust yourselves off, and go get some Spies. I'm still rooting for the citizens To the Spies: There's 5 of you now and a long way to go. Heck, the 5 Spies of Spies 3 did a lot of damage. But we were only up against 19 citizens at the start of the game. You 5 Spies are now facing 19 citizens too, but that's with 3 rounds of evidence against you and I think the citizens this time around are far more effective spyhunters. It will be an uphill battle for you for sure. But things aren't all that bad. It seems like some of you have roles, and a lot of citizens are lurking, so you have some help. Keep framing those citizens, faking those conversations, and instilling mistrust and paranoia in the masses.

Oh, and the guilt about exiling someone who wasn't around: Poppycock. Spies go on hiatus all the time.

I can't wait until episode 8, when Georgia and Roxy finally surrender their pretenses and consummate their lust for each other in a passionate, torrid lesbian love affair.

From a watchers perspective, she was shady as hell all game and did nothing but cause problems and drama (which I guess isn't all bad because it made Casey happy). [Arrives with a flourish] Oh, I love you too dear. Naturally, being the informed woman I am, I had to break out of exile to address you. From a powerful woman's perspective, you would have exiled me because you were threatened by my ability to speak my mind, and you were blinded by the potential I held to actually empower the women of this game. Ms. DC, I believe you just enjoy being a subservient minority. I will continue to hear of your badgering disapprovals of me and give them a slight smirk all the while, rest assured. Oh, and also, from my perspective, if you had exiled me, well, it would have been a mis-lynch all the same, dear! Sadly I cannot elaborate to how foolish any of these events have been, as it would encourage people to look in the right or wrong spots. Therefore, I will simply leave everyone with a faretheewell and a memento that I forgot to give back to Thor. I think he's been missing it for a while. Sincerely, Yvette

Citizens: Congrats! You caught Dirty Donald, another Spy! Except for Callahan's exile, you guys have done a great job so far. Keep it up.
Spies: Chose your remaining imprisonments wisely. They could make or break the game. The last few have had me scratching my head and questioning what your strategy is.
