Plot between Yvette, Robert & Ariel for Exile

[Iris]

Okay, guys, as you know, I'm the only Spy on my team, which consists of Yvette, Robert, Ariel, Thor, Khaled, me, Faith, Callahan and Mirela.

I've been let into the secret group within the group. None of us trust Ed, Khaled and Mirela all that much. Unless they're totally lying to me (as a Spy I'm paranoid), Robert, Yvette and Ariel have set up a plan. As you guys know, Ariel can stop one exile tomorrow.

Robert and Yvette are going to stage a fake fight in order to look like they don't trust each other. Somehow they're rigging the voting so that Thor, who has been completely inactive, will be voted off. However, Faith and I are Yvette and Robert will be voting for either Yvette or Robert.

The purpose of this plot is two-fold. Yvette and Robert want to make it look like they will be Exiled soon, so that Spies don't imprison them. It's also to see if Khaled, Ed and Mirela, who are universally the least trusted in our group, jump on them.

I'm playing along with their plan. I've been told I should probably vote Robert. Ariel's power will get Yvette or Robert out of trouble if they actually end up being Exile leader for our group.

Here's my dilemma. Ally, I know you want to Imprison Robert because he suspects you. I'm in a good position with Yvette, Robert and Ariel right now, who are clearly the leaders of our team.

I don't know if it benefits their trust in me for us to Imprison Robert, or not to Imprison him. I'm really trying to think like I'm not a Spy. If Robert is Imprisoned, does that mean it's more or less likely one of the trusted group leaked info?

I know we don't have to act on this yet, but it's going to be a huge factor in what happens in the Exile. My team is very organized and fairly united.

At any rate, I'll keep y'all posted on how this plays out. Lots of people are suspicious of Ed, just because of his playing style. If Ed ends up voting Robert I will find a good case for Ed having leaked the info, if they suspect that someone did.

Also, Ed is Rey's number one suspect, if he's telling me the truth. So it's not just my team, Ed is on the radar.

Yvette and Robert are great players... But honestly I DON'T think we should imprison them yet... As long as you're in good with the two of them, Iris, I think we should let them both stay. It'll make you look a lot better when your partners with whom you've been working hard turn up as citizens.

[Donald]

Yeah, it sounds like there's enough trouble brewing in your group without our involvement. We don't have to imprison one of those two yet, we could wait while they do some crazy stuff within their group. There are a ton of other viable candidates.

[Almathea]

The second or third imporisonment is ideal fo imprisioning them - i was thinking we set someone up and imprison someone like; rey?

[Iris]

Okay, the plan has changed a bit because Thor showed up. We can't get him lynched due to inactivity now (inactive players get 2 self-votes). Robert and Yvette are still going forth with their fake fight though. They're suspicious of Callahan, so likely he'll be the one who's Exiled. If Robert or Yvette accidentally ends up the leader, Ariel will use her power to save them.

[Iris]

Oh, and actual suspicion in the group has shifted from Ed to Callahan. Apparently he badly contradicted himself in our workroom on the Burg.

[Jason]

As long as the suspicion is on a Citizen I'd say that group is in good shape for the time being

[Iris]

Yeah, we're in good shape with my group. Chances are good that Callahan will be lynched. I just posted a PM between us that basically confirms all of Yvette and Robert's preconceived notions about him.

I feel so scummy doing that! Seriously. I told Yvette that too-- that I would hate being a Spy because I would hate backstabbing people.

Half truth. I actually love being a Spy, but I do hate backstabbing people, which I think gives me a town read.

[Almathea]

everyione thinks robert's case is shit, and the two of them generally annoyinng

[Iris]

I'm posting this mostly as a reminder to myself, but maybe you all will find it useful somewhere down the road.

To be used against Yvette when I have to go against her: in the thread on Khaled she states that voting for an inactive is bad because it negates the opportunity to examine the motives for the vote. Yet she was instrumental in the plot to make it appear like she and Robert were going to be exiled while really throwing the votes to Thor (who was inactive at the time, and his inactivity was a crucial part of the plot).

[Iris]

I just want to comment now on why I voted for Robert during the Callahan exile. All those conversations I had with Callahan at the end where he suddenly trusted me, and my belief that he had a role, were true.

But my vote was on Robert due to the Robert/Yvette plot. I THOUGHT I'd changed it to Callahan but I posted it in the wrong thread and it wasn't counted. So when the Exile came and my vote was the sole vote on Robert I was as surprised as everyone else was.
