Was going to do one of these and never really had the time, so I might as well.
Id first like to respond to what Tib said about me though, my reaction was purely based on Roberts arrogance and I am not one to deal with that level, I realise its a joke but, its like urgh. Nothing more really to say to that.
So then, I will do much like Tib, but do a grading system 1 to 10 with 10 being most likely to be a spy etc.
Paris - (3) - Paris, in my opinion is our teams greatest asset, as Tib compared Rey to Robert, I wouldnt....I would have compared Paris to him. I believe the actions and way he interacted with everyone in the chat and getting the ball rolling is what we need. I obviously cannot rule him out, but, I think he is someone to be looked at, but not in a bad way.
Jason - (4) - Jason, I havent really interacted much with and most of my discussion with him is in group chats, he seems to be a citizen trying to analysis what is going on and contributing where needed, like Paris I wouldnt begin to put him at citizen status yet but, he seems alright.
Rey - (5) - I feel that Rey has allowed himself to be brought to the main attention of the group by his actions. This for me personally means nothing, you can be as loud as you like, it wont clear you. It seems that there are many things going for Rey and then he makes a comment, or something happens and it just brings you back down to earth thinking....what? Why did they just happen.
Gabriella - (?) - Unfortunately I havent spoken much to Gab, and her lesser activity in the beginning does nothing to clear her, anyone that feels this is the case is quite niave...Saying that, based on the few chats weve had, she seems nice enough.
Jenya - (5.5) - I wasnt the group chat, and so I dont know the tone of the room at the time, but after Paris said something about Jenya, I noticed that she was trying to promote herself as active, but then immediately jumped into deflecting what was said at her to others. I cant tell if maybe that was what the momentum of the room was, or if it was a ploy she was using.
Ellis - (7) - Ellis is my main suspect. Now this I wont use my memory for, a few things happened which I feel go completly against any normal citizen action, despite only glancing over, I still made notes on a few things....
The idea of 'lets all be spies' and 'lets have a swap' [6:42pm] was originally meant in jest I assume, but the joke was very out of place and jarring, especially when out of the blue he returns to it later on and making a stamp 'i dont mind taking one for the team' [6:58pm]
Also, Ellis made a point of defending people, to the point both had to tell them to stop, however what people dont realise is that if you look at the general mood at the time in each case, it was agreed that when he was defending rey, most people didnt seem to think it was him. Defending a person most people already dont suspect? [7:09 and 7:10 pm]
Tiberius - (4) - Tiberius is so far down because of one thing, the relationship he seems to have with Rey is so profound and it seems he genuinely wanted to seek out and find someone else that was certainly not a spy, and he found Rey. That for me is not that suspicious. However, I would like to put this down for furture referance, after re-reading the conversations 'pre-announcement' he acted one way, and yes, he acted exactly the same afterwards, but to me, it seemed forced, like he was trying to act the same way, but what exactly that means, I dont know.
Almathea - (6) - Almathea seems to be the type that is very confusing, both intelligent and ditzy I cannot get a read on her. She doesnt want to be read, which suggest to me, either she is hiding something, or that is the way she has chosen to play the game.
Jaya - (4) - Jaya and my conversations last all but 10 seconds, I dont know what it is but me and her dont click. I feel if she was a spy trying to manipulate me, should would make much more of an effort to get me on her side or whatever, and she has not, so...yeah. I'm not suspicious.
Jocelyn - (7) - The thing about Jocelyn was nothing to do with the comment, and more just the way she acted and has yet still not come online, just because she doesnt defend herself doesnt mean she shouldnt have to, just because others said something about it, doesnt mean that she need not.
If a Spy wanted to pick one person right now to gun for, hoping they could get away with not offending anyone else, you have to admit I'd be a pretty good choice as four or five of you have mentioned finding me suspect in your posts. Jaya copies other people's arguments-- "divisive" from Tiberius's post. "defensive" from Almathea's post. And she doesn't weigh in on anyone else, which helps no one but herself. Add that to her lurky behavior at our first town chat (and in general) and she is a good candidate to keep an eye on.
Great job on this.
