Imprisonment #11 - In Memoriam

[Judge Sam]

IMPRISONMENT #11

It’s Memory Week in Spies 6 and we are looking back at the game’s events and dramatic moments. Memory Week will be packed with events – in fact you’ve already seen many of them and completed the challenge. Man there’s so much crap going on lately haha, who was the one to decide to throw in all this junk? I feel like I’m throwing out there a week’s worth of content every night! Whose idea was that?!

Apologies on that front but we will have a 4 day voting period to slow things down a little bit and enjoy Memory Week. I’m very much looking forward to that. Look for the activity to be posted tomorrow, more Memories of the Past, and other stuff.

Tonight’s Imprisonment goes with the memory theme and takes us back to a time before McNeal’s tyranny swept over the factory plant. The aforementioned Activity will allow you to demonstrate your creativity, I have submitted as my own personal creative entry by writing this Imprisonment as a poem. As an example, the rhythm sounds like these verses:

Amazing Grace! how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me;
I once was lost, but now am found;
Was blind, but now I see.

Because I could not stop for Death,
He kindly stopped for me;
The Carriage held but just Ourselves
And Immortality.

It’s called Ballad meter and was used by poets like Emily Dickinson. Now I am certainly no poet and I did not write these to be entered in a poetry contest so please bear with me on the poetry. =)

Let’s begin!

Far long ago, before McNeal came
Peabody ruled in the roost.
Gentle and kind, fair and benign,
Abundance and wealth he induced.

As boss he did lead with a generous hand,
Friendly and good to us all.
Each month he set up and organized teams
To play a great game of baseball.

Bosses VS. Joes, White collar VS. Blue
All of us played hard and fast,
Enjoying the game and having fun times
It was all just so good in the past.

VULNERABLE:

Peabody was just and noble as boss,
Looking at life from our side,
If he made a mistake or screwed up a job
He would make things alright in good stride.

The workers worked hard, committed full steam,
Cause we know that the boss’d do the same.
Together we worked as a dance troupe in sync
At curtain call sharing the fame.

Sure Peabody could, had he decided to
Take more than his fair share of loot.
But when profits rolled in, he gave away most
So his workers could get a new suit.

VULNERABLE:

[Judge Sam]

Life was serene, the Burg blossomed bright
Until that one fateful gasp.
Peabody collapsed, takes his last breath
And life slipped out of his grasp.

Enter McNeal. You know what comes next.
The woe and the pain and the greed.
Smothering spirit and poisoning joy
Living a malevolent creed.

We’ve come a long way. It’s almost all done.
Time to expose the last lies.
For if they remain deep in the psyches of the *#!&
Then the prize goes straight to the Spies.

VULNERABLE:

[Judge Sam]

While one union member was reminiscing about the good times, McNeal was thinking about his own personal good times, too.


He thought he'd order a Pinkerton agent to create a new good time to remember. A new memory of fear.

Roxy has been fired and Imprisoned by the Spies.

Roxy : please post Final Words in your confessional immediately.


Judge Sam: “It’s really sad to see you be Imprisoned Roxy. =( I really enjoyed having you play the game. You gave so much to it everyday you were here. You were brutally honest, upfront, straight-up, and serious about catching Spies. Your confessionals gave me tons of insights on your true behind-the-scenes feelings and you always kept up with everything no prodding needed.

The game is lucky you were saved from the grasp of early Exile by Ariel and is unlucky that ten long Episodes later you were finally eliminated. I’m really glad you got a chance to show your stuff and I hope that your time in the game was memorable and beneficial to the citizens. Thank you for playing and contributing a lot to Spies 6.”


Judge Sam: “Nine of you left… that’s less than one whole Team that started out. Time’s running out. Exile #11 will be held Saturday at 9:00 PM CDT live, that’s four days from now so you have some time. I realize Saturday nights are far from ideal, if you won’t be around that’s okay (certainly don’t cancel any events or decline any invitations for this haha). I’ll try and make the Exile quick and besides the vote / alignment not much will happen. That time just turned out best for the scheduling.

Four days before Exile. Good luck.”
