Damnit, Sam, this is somehow your fault! I haven't figured out how yet, but I know you're behind it!!! *shakes fist* Oh well, as always, it was fun while it lasted. Three cheers for Sam!
Ok, most important bit first, who I think the remaining Spies are, so when this is over we can all laugh at how far off base I was.
Thor
Georgia
Jenya (Unnecessary and unbelievable Roleclaim followed by asking others for Roleclaims FTL.)
One of the following: Iris or Faith
One of the following: Donald or Kristen
Wow, that was hard, and I wasn't even decisive. There are so many "wouldn't be surprised" options. I'm pretty much suspicious of everyone from my initial team, save Jason, at this point. That's the problem with this game. Or should I say, that's my problem with this game. It's so awesome that everyone wants to be in it as long as possible. And the only was for Citizens to truly accomplish this is to be just suspect enough for the Spies to not want to Imprison them. And I can't play that way.
My initial goal for Gabriela was that I WANTED her gameplay to be underestimated. But I also wanted her to be serious and mature and that lasted like a day. For some time I wasn't going to post anything in the thread on Yvette. I thought she was a Citizen, like I said in my confessional it was Davoni redux. And I had told a couple people I thought that way. (The Citizen part, not the Davoni part.) But I didn't want to step up to bat for her. But when I saw how quickly she was getting dogpiled (by people who's opinions I don't entirely trust, btw) I had to step in. And then Donald started talking sideways so I decided to take it public. Then I stuck to my guns about voting Donald and not voting Yvette even though Jenya was pressuring me to change and Kristen already had (which I didn't totally buy). Then it turned out I was right. Then I had to call out Gretchen for being dumb enough to think speculating on Imprisonment would be a productive use of time. And that's about the point I realized: I thought Callahan wasn't a Spy, I was right; I thought Almathea was a Spy, I was right; I thought Jaya was a Spy, I was right; I thought Paris wasn't a Spy, I was (technically) right; I thought Yvette wasn't a Spy, I was right; Yeah, I've fucked myself. Oh well, I just can't not be me. I guess that's why regardless of gender, age, or planned personalities all my characters end up feeling the same to me.
I'm sorry I wasn't able to make better use of my Role, Sam. I'm sure a lot of thought went into the create your own role contest, so for it to go down this was is disappointing. And with the role investigation (hopefully) going to Rey and Jenya's weak Roleclaim I was about to make my move. So if Jenya is a Spy, you guys caught a seriously lucky break! Oh well, things seldom work out exactly the way we have planned. I think we learned that during the Future Challenge, eh Sam?
So I think this is going to be my last ride. That is, assuming there is a Spies 7 some day. I've pretty much played from just about every angle in the game. I've been a Citizen, I've been a Spy, I've had roles. I've won in a one Spy lynch-or-lose situation, and have been the first person out the door. I've been Exiled and I've been Imprisoned, twice. I've been the Spies best friend, and their worst enemy. And this time, my scumdar actually seemed to be working! I think I could play every Spies game from now until eternity, but I don't think I will ever again live to see the end of Episode 5. I have seen all there is to see here and have done all there is to do. I think at this point my talents would be better served on the other side of the fence. It's time to make room for the new blood and pass the torch.
Thanks for everything Sam, it has been one hell of a ride!
Secret Hideaway, Ho!
