spies6jenya (12:11:46 AM): I held off on telling you my upgrade.
spies6jenya is available (12:11:50 AM)
spies6jenya (12:11:50 AM): You told me first, right?
spies6jenya (12:11:58 AM): I used it to confirm you.
sPIEs6Jason (12:12:00 AM): I honestly don't remember lol
sPIEs6Jason (12:12:01 AM): I might have
spies6jenya (12:12:05 AM): You told me 4
spies6jenya is available (12:12:06 AM)
spies6jenya (12:12:07 AM): doubles
sPIEs6Jason (12:12:11 AM): Yeah 4 rounds
spies6jenya (12:12:13 AM): I got 3 doubles
spies6jenya (12:12:26 AM): But it's impris only so it's stronger and protection too
spies6jenya (12:12:35 AM): So 3 instead of 4 made sense
sPIEs6Jason (12:12:40 AM): Yeah, my role's kinda weak since it relies on others
spies6jenya (12:12:44 AM): You told me 4 BEFORE Khaled did
spies6jenya is available (12:12:46 AM)
sPIEs6Jason (12:12:47 AM): same with Khaled's, didnt he get 4 too?
spies6jenya (12:12:51 AM): And Khaled's 4 matches yours.
spies6jenya is available (12:12:58 AM)
spies6jenya (12:13:07 AM): So I can come REALLY close to guaranteeing you as cit
spies6jenya (12:13:34 AM): If you're a Spy you're a lucky fucker, Jason. *shakes fist*

She's right, I got SO damn lucky by claiming 4 weeks instead of 3. Because I seriously had no idea that Khaled got 4, too...

SPIES SHALL WIN!


Edit: "LIST in chaos"!?!?!? Awesome typo.

spies6jenya (2:50:21 PM): If you're a spy your play has been unorthodox and genius





; D

[Jason]

So anyway, while I love the uncertainty and mystery of being a Cit looking for Spies... I've really truly enjoyed Spying this season...

Rather than an intellectual game of piecing together evidence and looking for clues, actually being a Spy is a game of setting people up, planning ahead, and constantly dodging/deflecting trouble.

I've found that the most effective way to be a Spy, at least for me, is to play upon my strength, which is to look like a Citizen. Unfortunately... That strength of mine USUALLY ends up with me getting Imprisoned... So to balance that out I've had to do risky things.


One of those things is keeping Jenya, the evil schemer, around. Will it pay off or will she turn on Pete and I and exile us both?? Time will tell, and that's about it.

The thing about Jenya is that she really is a good player. She has strong suspicious, notices minute details, and pursues her suspicions to the fullest. Unfortunately for her, though, fate has dictated that the Master Mofo's brightest Spy Pupil, Jason, win this game, so she's fighting a losing battle.


Three Exiles to go. Exile three people... Just three! And the game is over. Spies win. Surely with Gretchen, Kirsten, and Boris running around it's going to be very possible... The waiting is killing me, though, we should have three Exiles and Imprisonments tonight and be done with it!
