I am back!
They exiled KHALED? WTF!
Props to the remaining 2 Spies for outlasting Khaled, Rey, and Thor. Seriously. Dumb citizens.
Perhaps third time is the charm? EXILE MIRELA!

I know it's a pipe dream, but I'd love to see them take out Jenya. Although, Mirela would not be a bad choice at all. If it is anyone but those two, then the spies have a pretty good grip on this game suddenly I think.

Perhaps third time is the charm? EXILE MIRELA! Technically, wouldn't this be 4th time? Either way, that's 2 or 3 times too many. Should've happened a long time ago.

You know, x-man, I am split on Jenya. I think she is a citizen, but part of me is very wary. As far as I can see, she's scumhunting in a way that seems very active, but she hasn't produced a single result. I could see her as a Spy who is working hard to lead the citizens in the wrong direction, and this could be a very effective disguise.

Round 11 pre-imprisonment leaderboard: Roxy is cleared because of round 1 votes (Amelia did not vote for Mei Yun to save Roxy - she threw away her vote on Kirsten) Kirsten is cleared because Amelia tried to link Donald to Kirsten, and Kirsten nailed Iris. Pete is cleared because he knew the Jaya wagon was occuring, and Jaya did not switch her vote to Gretchen to save herself. Similarly, Gretchen is cleared for being the round 2 target of Donald. The Spies didn't know Jaya was going to be exiled, and Gretchen had majority votes at the time. Donald would not have voted with what seemed like the majority for Gretchen if she was a Spy. Mirela's voting record is atrocious. Absolutely atrocious. Also, I think she thinks the next easy exile is Gretchen. She is a Spy. I am confident. Jason and Jenya are more cit-like than spy-like to me. The last Spy then, IMHO, is Levi, Boris, or Georgia. Jason's point on Georgia's voting record - that she only votes with the majority in instances when a Spy is in danger (see the Donald/Levi exile where she voted Levi and the Thor/Amelia exile where she voted Thor) is very valid, IMHO. Levi and Boris have similar voting histories. My order of suspicion: 1. Georgia 2. Levi 3. Boris

Oh c'mon....let's just kill Mirela already. She's sooo phony. I think the other one is Levi or Jenya. I've lessened on Boris a bit. The rest seem like cits to me. One thing that strikes me is that the past few rounds it seems like the suspects that have been exiled have been up and pulled out of the burg's ass. Why aren't they exiling any long-term suspects? What happened to the major suspicion of Mirela, of Levi? Have they just gone and disappeared? The spies have done a great job of bringing in new suspects each round and supporting a bandwagon. Were there any real suspicions of Thor, Rey, Khaled before the round they were exiled? Not to my knowledge. Jenya's really hurting the burg the most out of anyone, whether spy or cit. Her fake imprisonment, voting for Khaled, wanting to burn the "supercits" at the stake, there's a lot that's fishy with her. Would love to see her exiled as well. A good citizen she is NOT.

One thing I thought of yesterday was that interviews should be conducted over AIM right after people are imprisoned/exiled. Things like "How are you feeling now that you're out?" or "Do you have any regrets on how you played the game?" Don't know why I've never thought of that before. Of course I would do it but I wouldn't want to start now with there being so few people left. There's always Spies 7.

Uh huh ... this memory thing would frustrate the shit out of me if I was a Spy. Dead players who all trust each other, being able to talk to each other honestly and without secret agendas then have the opportunity to tell the Burg their guesses? I mean, I know from reading the Spies 4 and Spies 5 hideaway that just because you're dead doesn't mean you're right, but isn't this a lot of help to the citizens?
Unless the Spies are allowed to disguise themselves as citizens?

Gabriela, Yvette, Rey, and Ariel all seem to think Jenya is a Spy. I disagree with this but think Mirela will live to see yet another round.

I don't get it.
Jason's the most trusted person in the burg. He has a role. He's still alive?
What are these Spies doing?

Okay and now Casey's video:
Haircut? But you kept the bangs?
Feel better Casey!
"Lots of strange spy imprisonments, I gotta tell you" - agree!
Jenya "steamrolling" - agree!
I laughed at your Ariel/gravedigger analysis, just the way you said it was funny
"I just like all the fat characters" - the way you said that was funny too
I kind of agree with you on the trusted people exiling Khaled comment.
Jenya's successfully manhandling the entire burg - haha
Boris does kind of get funnier every round.
I love how you held back on "EXILE MIRELA!" ranting. I thought I could see it in your eyes.
I totally agree with your Pete analysis.
LOL "We can reminisce about all the citizens we exiled!"
During your "have fun" schpiel, you should've told the citizens to use vagisil.

You have no idea how often I wished to do what she's done in this game last season. Hehe. Meh. So if not Mirela, than who? Jenya? Georgia? Boris? I doubt Boris. Georgia would be an interesting choice, but I'm just not sure. I do feel though that she's smart enough to have subtley pulled off getting Thor, Rey, and Khaled exiled as of late. Same with Jenya though. Both are more intelligent than I think they let on sometimes. Side note, why Roxy? Yeah, pretty much everyone assumed her citiness, but she wasn't a super cit constant threat to the spies. I would have kept her around just as a distraction.

I did win Yves' round 11 challenge. Just did it now:
1. Eliminate Mark - 21
2. Eliminate Rachel - 37
3. Eliminate David - 72
4. Eliminate Camden - 43
5. Eliminate Nicola - 28
6. Eliminate Russell - 55 Eliminate Rose - 64
Elsie - 57
I am amused though that my F2 were the lowest and highest earners.

I think Roxy was a good choice. I think she was heading towards the route of Delilah and was going to rip the spies a new one here in the end of the game.
STOP PROTECTING YOUR SPY PARTNER JENYA.

Some pictures from Spain: There were a lot of people costumed as statues all over Spain. These guys were the first I saw, in Madrid. I went to cathedrals in Seville and Madrid, but the one in Toledo was my favorite. Watching flamenco dancing at this unmarked hole-in-the-wall bar in Seville Loved Spanish food. Ordered gazpacho and bread at the world's oldest restaurant, Casa de Botin in Madrid. One of my favorite things in Spain was the Alhambra in Granada. It is a must-see if you ever go to Spain - a Moorish fortress, series of palaces, and amazing gardens. This is the fractal ceiling of a room in one of the main palaces. It's designed to be an optical illusion - a ceiling that never ends.

This summer I've been doing a lot of working, tanning, swimming, boating, movie-watching, shopping, arts n' craftsing, gossiping, and wii fit-ing. Trying not to spend too much time on the computer.
Y DC....puedes hablar espanol? Puedo un poco porque toque las clases en la escuela por cuatro anos. No me gustan las clases...pero me encanta para aprender las lenguas.
I'M SO GOOD AT SPANISH LOL.

So an update from Korea eh? Well... let's see. Just celebrated 23 years yesterday. I'm getting old. I'm pretty much ancient according to my kids because they can see some of the veins in my arms. Hehe. We just finished up Enchanted Frogs and Fairytales week which was a lot of fun. Part of what we did was create our own fairytale skit. Costumes, scenary, props, and the general story idea was all done by the campers. The only thing I helped with a bit was the writing of the script. It was pretty cute though and they did a nice job. Next week is Bubbles, Beakers, and Strage Solutions so we've got a lot of experiments that we're going to do. I'm really excited for it. It's the weekend now! The plan this weekend is to do some whitewater rafting which I'm pretty stoked for. I'm leaving in a couple of hours for that, so I suppose I'll catch you all in a couple of days. Stay and enjoy your weekend as well. Adios <--- For you Spanish speakers. No me gusto espanol. Soy muy guapo however. /yeah, I had 3 years of spanish, ending about 6 years ago. //wish I'd stuck with it, but my teacher was a loon /// I like slashies... ////Mirelaspy and Jenyaspy

Casey - LOL, yes, I speak Spanish. 4 years in high school + 3 semesters in college + a summer job in Latin America. I'm envious of your free time - enjoy it, because once you enter the real world you'll probably never have that much again, at least not until retirement.
x-man - Wow, "Enchanted Frogs and Fairytales" sounds like it would be a lot of fun to manage and implement. And I'm laughing at "Bubbles, Beakers, and Strange Solutions" because I don't know how to say any of that in Spanish (I do know "bubble" is "buah" in Hebrew), so I'm wondering how well it will carry across into Korean. It sounds like it will be a lot of fun too and a pretty unique theme for a summer camp. What kinds of experiments?
And white water rafting - wow. I had never done it till I went to Latin America. So much fun. Enjoy!
//// I think I'm the only non-Spy who doesn't think Jenya is a Spy ...

Yep. I'm pretty sure you are.
I'd be okay with a Boris exile fueled by Kirsten, as he's always been a bit shady.
If they exile Gretchen they're idiots.

I was so insanely bored today at work so I decided since it's memory week I'd try to connect each Spies 6 player with one (or two) from Spies 5. I'm not saying they're the best or the only matches but hey, they're what I came up with. = Oh Finn. Oh Pete. What did either contribute? Yeah, nothing. = Bitchy, bitchy, bitchy. But underneath all of it is a pretty smart player. Of course, for both of them it took quite a while for this player side to shine through, lol. = Smart, wise, funny, trusted. I don't think Samantha was a serious candidate for exile until the final 5. When they speak, people listen. = Luke was always very willing, kind of scatterbrained, and usually was wrong, but it was wrapped up in an endearing mostly lovable package. Thus is Mirela. = Young acting, not spectacular at the game, can hold personal grudges, and generally suspicious throughout. But most importantly: both incredibly awesome. + = The Carly side of Jenya is the ferocious, fearless, nitpicking and jackaling part while the Katie side is the sometimes unstable, usually incorrect part. + = This is an odd one, LOL. But Otto was funny, smart, and cynical, and Paige was to the point. Also with Paige, we're seeing Boris kind of give up and give the middle finger to the burg here just recently which is reminiscent of the lovely Paige. Perhaps Boris is the secret child of these two lovebirds? + = Evie: warmhearted, kind, sincere. Caela: misunderstood, got flustered easily. Tiberius: all of the above. + = Darla kicked ass, took names, won challenges and helped lead the burg. Jillian always brought laughter wherever she went and had strong opinions. Ariel is a nice combination of the two. Maybe that's why I liked her so much. + + = Cookie almost always represented the dissenting opinion on topics and wasn't afraid to ask questions that went against popular opinion. Delilah and Carly are two heads of the giant hydra of bitches so it's only appropriate they go with Georgia, as long as being good players along with her.
