Hi guys! My name is Patrick and I'm a 31-year old college administrator, recently from Virginia but now on Long Island. I play on Boardgamegeek as greek2me. Brian, are you bwt2q from BGG? I had Kirstin as a WWer, but I thought you were arkibet due to the West Coast thing. Spies was such an intense experience for me. I'm used to playing a few games at a time because they don't require much more than posting a few times a day and analyzing lynch votes. This was much more time, but I really enjoyed myself. I tried to be the under-the-radar Spy, which I guess worked out pretty well for a couple of Exiles, but I really credit Jason and Pete with pushing Cits instead of me. I was actually working a pretty crazy schedule this summer until I moved, so I wasn't lyin' when I couldn't be on or had to be away (for the most part ). Though I did miss the second of my would-be Exiles on purpose. I thought "I'll just stay out of Pete's and Jason's way." Thanks so much for the game Sam! I know I wasn't as involved as I should have been all of the time, but I had a great time. I'm eager to read all of the behind-the-scenes stuff!

My name is Anh!
Like turning the lights "on" and off.
I've played in a couple of Spies games in the past and have dwindled to a tiny raisin it seems as I get older lol. My brain can't take it anymore RAWR!!!
I'm a 22 year old aspiring filmmaker/tv director and hope to work on any drama TV show or reality tv show. I'm hoping that I can intern with either Disney TV or mark burnett this upcoming fall with my school.
Who know, spies might be coming to a tv near you!

^ Thats so cool Anh! Anh, Sam and I and others all started on a small sub-board on GameFAQs called "Survivor" and now Anh is interning in reality TV! Wonder what that board would say if they knew one of their own is movin on up! (PS You'll love my final words Paris!) Duckbear games were the greatest, and its where I first discovered Sam's survivor games.
<3 Anh!

Hi my name is Casey. I enjoy long walks on the beach, pina coladas and getting caught in the rain. I'm also the most fabulous 16-year-old you'll ever meet. Fun facts about me: - Things I adore include fashion, go-go dancers, crack addicts, sassy black women, and electro/dance/indie music.
- This year for English class I had to give three speeches. They comprised of one about the life and times of Andy Warhol (gay sexcapades included), a eulogy of Anna Nicole Smith, and my life goal of being a poor artist in New York living on welfare. My teacher was a devout catholic. She loved me.
- I hate Michigan and I'm moving as soon as I can.
- I've been to numerous basement rave parties.
- I suck at ORGs because I don't take them seriously enough and usually just try to have fun and make them interesting.
- I wish I had skinnier thighs.
- I do really good in school and I don't know why since I never study but get a 4.5 gpa lol. I'm doing the IB diploma for some unknown reason. My parents want me to go to medical school or law school and make big $$$. I want to go to fashion or art school. So that's fun LOL.
- I try to be nice in real life and don't hate anyone. Online games can bring out the worst in people though ahhaha.
- I'm very modest.
Also my facebook is www.facebook.com/caseylovesyou if any of you fancy people would like to add me. And I think most of you know my AIM but it's caseyisgodmmk.

Patrick, I've got to tell you I admired your balls for backing up my ridiculous claim and surviving for a bit after doing so.
And Sam, dragging Amelia into things was unplanned. The gift was planned for Pete but he screamed on the Spy boards that he wanted nothing to do me when it became "necessary" to claim. (I really did think it was necessary at the time; forgive me, I was high on codeine cough syrup.) Jason was in too good of a position to risk so that left Amelia.

I think it ended up being a mistake, obviously, but I'd had enough of us just standing by while our Spies got nailed one by one. It's a little sad that some Spies were playing as if the other Spies were their opponents too. That probably contributed to the lack of communication we experienced.

Something I stood by the entire game is that one of the smartest things that a Spy can do is play as if they are on their own. I've (almost, I slipped last second and would have won had I not been an idiot) won a game before by bussing my scumbuddy first day and everyone saw me as clear. Yeah, Spies is different, but if you get too paranoid about what's going on with your fellow scum you'll crash right away. People saw Jason and Pete as clear for a WHILE because of the Almathea bus.

Hello, my name is Paul, and I'm an alcoholic. Wait, wrong group. I'm 23 from Chicago. Was a Computer Science major, but am currently doing nothing with it because I am having massive second thoughts about if I actually want to do that for a living. I referee youth ice hockey, although that really isn't in season right now. But come August the registration opens and hopefully I can move up to level 2. Yay! Recently I also had been working as a fill in bouncer and occasional bartender at the bar my family owns. But one of the bouncers just got a job elsewhere which conflicts with his current schedule so he's quitting, and now I'm in there every Friday and Saturday night. Which I'm really okay with because my dad has a lot of grandiose plans for the bar that he never follows through with. So I'm working with the other employees to hopefully get something done. Shit or get off the pot. Even Thoreau eventually stopped staring at the pond and write a book. Now all I need to do is find something like 9-5 Monday through Friday that won't make me want to hang myself and I'll be good. Sam made the mistake of allowing me to play in Spies 2, and hasn't been able to get rid of me since. I came from the ORG community. Knew what Mafia was, but never really played it before Spies. I haven't seen the tail end of Episode 5 in years, and Episode 4 can never end fast enough for me. (Winner, Exile 1, Exile 4, Imprisonment 5, Imprisonment 4) I take massive pleasure in not being outfoxed by Sam and seeing his twists coming. It's curiously satisfying for me in ways I should probably tell my psychiatrist about. I have a poor tendency of defending the Spies rather than catching them, so what the hell happened this game is beyond me. I've been Karl, Jakub, Angelica, Jiselle, and now Gabriela (in that order) and have pretty much experienced this crazy game from just about every conceivable angle. All of them end up feeling the same to me regardless of how I intend to play them, and to this day it still baffles me that I haven't been accused by one of the regulars. Although DC is getting increasingly better at picking me out of a lineup. She says I am the second biggest curmudgeon she haves ever met in her life. Apparently she doesn't know that many people, or lives in a parallel dimension where everything is sunshine and lollipops and rainbows and butterflies and kittens. I haven't figured out which yet. David (Ellis) is my personal bane and is apparently required by law to suspect me, attempt to get me Exiled, and all around be a pain in my butt regardless of my actual alignment. My AIM name is ThaPauly. That's with a 'Y', not an 'IE'. Apparently there is someone with an 'IE", and apparently he's a real prick. Everyone and their mother is on Facebook these days (I was before it was cool, so take that everyone who isn't me!), so feel free to add me. www.facebook.com/home.php#/profile.php?id=1903019&ref=profile

Patrick, I have no clue about BGG stuff. I lied about being on the West Coast as well. My entire existence was a lie! I live in Virginia, and I'm actually curious where you were in VA.
Also, you almost dragged me down with you. Foolish me.

David/Faith forgot to mention that he really does love horses, participating in beauty pageants, Zac Efron, and being daddy's little princess in real life. I look forward to discussing these topics more in-depth with him soon, and I suggest you all do the same. HA. Don't make me sick please. However I will show this. I bring to you David on a horse: ... yup. I sure love horses.

Travis, 21, sober 4 years, oh wait... wrong club. I'm a Computer Engineer student in California on the Central Coast (Mei! We can hang out!). I'm currently doing an internship this summer, and am going on somewhat of a vacation starting tomorrow for a week while my girlfriend is visiting. I play mafia on MafiaScum and WizardsOfTheCoast (subforum is Paranoia Paradise, which is a subforum of Magic Puzzles and Games or something like that. It's... a little hard to navigate.) I play as al_kohaulec but now use the name DolusDeceit in chat. Here's my wiki of mafia game's I've participated in: www.mafiascum.net/wiki/index.php?title=Al_kohaulec

Hi, my name is Cathy. I watched spies 5, and was thrilled to get a chance to play in spies 6 (even for only a few days). I started having withdrawal symptoms after being exiled here and started playing over at idlemafia(?). I am TexCat there, and think I recognized Iris/archangel. I am a grandmother from Houston.

Wait not SINJIN? Eeeeeeeek! And also, unless you're a grandmother at the ripe old age of 28, I'm not the oldest person here any more! Woohoo!

And also, unless you're a grandmother at the ripe old age of 28, I'm not the oldest person here any more! Woohoo! I think Nancy is the oldest (but Nancy, hon, you do NOT look 40!!!). Hi, I'm Tanner (yeah, yeah, laugh, Samson already did, har har). I'm 20 years old (is there, like, a 20 club or something? I think David(Faith) and Jay are also 20?) and I'm from batshit nowhere, Oklahoma. I'm currently a junior (I think) in college, a theatre major (my college sucks in that it doesn't have musical theatre degrees [wtf?!]) and I'm of... er... "undecided" orientation. Water is possibly my favorite thing in the world, as are dolphins. Every so often my birthday falls on Friday the 13th so it's never really been an unlucky day for me. I have an account on Mafiascum (Whirlpool) but I only ever played one game there... I think I got mad for some reason ("thin skin", remember?) Part of that "thin skin" was a character, but... part of that was the real me, too. >.>; The only person I knew coming into this game was Christina (I recruited her but didn't know she got accepted until opening chat, where I recognized her posting style immediately <.< , and I'm a Spies noob (but next year I won't be, good luck getting rid of me Sam!) And even though I'm undecided/leaning gay (XP) I don't want to have sex with Rey!!! <_____<;;;

Tanner, I'll help you figure it out:
You're playing ORGs. You're not female or a foreigner. Are you a Republican? If not, you're gay. There you go.
