I know. You've been waiting with baited breath. Sorry it has taken so long, but I have the time at the moment, so I did some work.
Grades: S=Spy, S-="Likely" to "could be" a Spy, N=Neutral (as in smack dab in the middle), C-="Could be" to "likely" Cit, C=Cit
Pete - Our conversations on AIM have been pretty muted. We've not interacted a lot, but the "vibe" I get from him is pretty neutral. I don't know if we've done anything but talk about our suspicions together. There hasn't been any direct questioning of one another and he seems pretty absent a lot (like more than me!).
[Grade: S-]Levi - I've talked with Levi extensively and have more or less trusted him from the beginning. He seemed like a younger, new player who was really trying not to get Exiled. I've since realized that this could all be an act. In a way, the anonymity of this game is a double-edged sword because you can't tell how someone plays, but they can also foist a completely different identity on you. I think Levi is a consummate actor and could very well be pulling my chain and using me.
Here's the first convo I had with him where I began to suspect he was better at this game than he was letting on:
spies6levi (5:21:29 PM): What's your stance on Mirela?
spies6amelia (5:21:47 PM): I think she's a bit obssessed with the Faith/Iris/Yvette spy theory
spies6amelia (5:21:55 PM): I have her at 9
spies6amelia (5:22:00 PM): for the Exile if that helps
spies6amelia (5:22:08 PM): so not overly suspicious, but not out of teh running
spies6levi (5:22:11 PM): I'm putting her higher than that
spies6amelia (5:22:29 PM): as in top 5 higher or?
spies6levi (5:22:54 PM): Well that depends on how this convo plays out
spies6amelia (5:22:59 PM): haha
spies6amelia (5:22:59 PM): ok
spies6levi (5:48:03 PM): Check the Burg
spies6amelia (5:52:32 PM): ok
spies6levi went away at 5:54:04 PM
spies6amelia (5:55:52 PM): interesting
spies6levi (5:55:52 PM): I am away from my computer right now.
spies6levi returned at 6:11:21 PM
spies6levi (6:15:08 PM): Did you read it?
spies6amelia (6:15:15 PM): I did indeed
spies6amelia (6:15:24 PM): strange that she wouldn't tell you who she was talking to
spies6amelia (6:15:36 PM): as if telling you even if you were a Spy would be giving you info
spies6levi (6:15:46 PM): I know
spies6levi (6:15:57 PM): I thought about that when I posted it, because I don't like when I'm wrong
spies6levi (6:16:04 PM): i went through every possible scenario of that
spies6levi (6:16:12 PM): And none of them had a protown explananation
spies6amelia (6:16:29 PM): unless she was talking to someone about a role she has and didn't want to let on
spies6amelia (6:16:30 PM): but still
spies6amelia (6:16:37 PM): telling you wouldn't tell you that she had a role
spies6levi (6:16:54 PM): No it wouldn't
spies6amelia (6:19:19 PM): so you and she both suspect Faith; what're your thoughts on that?
spies6levi (6:19:39 PM): I don't have any original thoughts that I've created
spies6levi (6:19:49 PM): She does have a tendency to jump on the popular opinion
spies6levi (6:19:55 PM): And she was involved in the fake case thing
spies6levi (6:20:01 PM): But I'm still wanting to question her
spies6levi (6:20:17 PM): After I can do that, I'll be able to make a better judgment
spies6amelia (6:20:49 PM): no I mean about Mirela suspecting Fait
spies6levi (6:21:03 PM): Oh about her?
spies6levi (6:21:17 PM): I think she was making stuff up as she went along, personally
spies6levi (6:21:23 PM): Yes, the fake case thing was there
spies6levi (6:21:36 PM): But after that she went into very subjective views
spies6levi (6:21:41 PM): Like how Faith talks, or her personality
spies6levi (6:21:52 PM): Things that you can't argue against
spies6levi (6:22:02 PM): But things that she tried to make sound like scumtells
Basically, he's reasoning out that Mirela not telling him who she was talking to couldn't possibly be to protect the Cits in any way. Obviously this case fell apart when Jenya stepped forward, but the reaction from Levi is what I'm highlighting here.
[Grade: S-]Jenya - This girl is aggressive as hell on AIM. She's always grilling me about something, which is a good thing in my opinion. Although we don't always agree, I tend to lean more Cit on her since she seems to genuinely be searching for the truth. Now, of course she can definitely be the "helpful Spy," too, so that aggressiveness might be masking something else.
[Grade: C-]Mirela - I find the fact that she was fixated on there being a Spy in Iris/Faith/Yvette/Ariel and the fact that she was so eagerly willing to go along with withholding info from Levi suspicious. Granted, unless they were orchestrating a grand scheme, I don't think they're Spies together, so if one is a Spy, the other most likely is not. Ed suspected Mirela. And her unhelpful focus on the one thing (even though it randomly turned out to be true, despite it seeming like it wouldn't) combined with her willingness to lie give me that morning-after-whiskey taste in my mouth.
[Grade: S]Kirsten - Well, I have to eat crow on this one. I'm pretty darn sure she's a Cit, and a helpful one at that. I mistook her aggressiveness for scumminess. I'd be shocked if she flipped Spy. And she'd get kudos from me for playing so well either way.
Grade: C]Jason - Our few conversations have been pretty in depth, talking about our suspicions. I haven't talked to him in a few episodes, but I trusted him pretty ok back when we did chat. His posts don't seem all that prolific, but he mentioned that he chats a lot, so I can't call the kettle black, now can I?
Grade: C-]Gretchen - I haven't talked to this one much, if at all outside group chats. She was away for a bit after I was, though, so it makes sense that we didn't have a big chance to talk. I don't really even have a read on her at all.
[Grade: N]
