I wasn't online for very long last night; something funky was going on with my internet. Bad vibes for a big night, that's not a good sign. If everything works in my favor I will return full of heart and soul tonight. If not I appreciate your patience and understanding that sometimes things are beyond our control or understanding. Happy hopes to you all on this glorious day =) spies6.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=team9757&action=display&thread=410&page=1- Mirela -=- I wish she was on my team - she'd have my first Exile vote. * sigh *

-=-
Just thought I would throw it up there.
Am not convinced Kirsten is a Spy.
Nice to know, in theory, that Levi won't be voting for me. I know I am late but I really want to get a little deeper into the game before being eliminated.

spies6Georgia (8:01:33 AM) has entered the room. spies6Boris (8:01:33 AM) has entered the room. spies6gretchen (8:01:33 AM) has entered the room. spies6levi (8:01:33 AM) has entered the room. spies6Boris (8:01:40 AM): yes spies6gretchen (8:01:49 AM): woot hi all spies6levi (8:01:50 AM): Welcome to the chat Gretchen! spies6Georgia (8:01:54 AM): Welcome Gretchen. spies6gretchen (8:02:04 AM): thanks Levi and Georgia! spies6Boris (8:02:17 AM): how are you gretchen spies6gretchen (8:02:52 AM): i am ok Boris - it's early morning here - 8am spies6gretchen (8:02:58 AM): so still waking up spies6Boris (8:05:21 AM): i was not aware you were in such extreme time differences spies6levi (8:05:38 AM): It's a very diverse crowd in this game spies6Georgia (8:05:59 AM): Agreed. spies6Boris (8:06:15 AM): i gathered that from what sam said about 15 different communities being present spies6levi (8:06:23 AM): My internet browser just froze spies6Boris (8:06:29 AM): unfortunate spies6levi (8:06:35 AM): I'm trying to do some reading and confessional updating spies6gretchen (8:08:35 AM): yes Boris, I have a slight disadvantage there. or perhaps advantage. I dun spies6gretchen (8:08:43 AM): * don spies6gretchen (8:09:03 AM): ... know yet. Like I said - waking up Please forgive my poor typing. spies6levi (8:10:33 AM): Its ok it happens spies6Georgia (8:13:15 AM): I have a question for you Boris. Was the part about the Spies knowing each other before the Opening Chat, was it revealed somewhere other than the 'Ask Questions' thread in the Burg? spies6Georgia (8:13:27 AM): Or well, anyone whom can answer it. spies6levi (8:13:43 AM): It was revealed at the opening chat spies6Georgia (8:14:51 AM): Oh. I saw the part about the spies knowing they were spies. spies6Boris (8:15:16 AM): it was revealed to all in the chat just as sam was going to start the alignment stuff spies6Boris (8:17:48 AM): Sorin the Seeker (8:35:21 PM): "If you are a Spy," spies6Yvette (8:35:25 PM): You lose? spies6levi (8:35:26 PM): Is it a magic trick? spies6almathea (8:35:26 PM): ! Sorin the Seeker (8:35:30 PM): "you have already known you are a Spy since the start of the game." spies6rey (8:35:30 PM): you are not cool ? spies6tiberius (8:35:31 PM): ugh sam why did you ahve to do this during survivor spies6roxy (8:35:35 PM): YOU ARE STILL IN THE RUNNING spies6tiberius (8:35:36 PM): D= spies6tiberius (8:35:37 PM): D= spies6rey (8:35:37 PM): OMG. /facepalm spies6almathea (8:35:38 PM): ah ha! spies6pete (8:35:38 PM): ....ah spies6iris (8:35:39 PM): .....?
spies6Boris (8:18:04 AM): spies6Paris (8:35:40 PM): rofl spies6william (8:35:41 PM): What? spies6Jocelyn (8:35:42 PM): saw that coming spies6roxy (8:35:45 PM): To be spies6Ed (8:35:45 PM): uh oh Sorin the Seeker (8:35:46 PM): "If you were not already told you were a Spy" spies6roxy (8:35:46 PM): ANTM spies6Yvette (8:35:47 PM): Which is clearly why I insisted that I am a spy. spies6levi (8:35:48 PM): Awwwwwwww spies6rey (8:35:48 PM): LOL FOS: JOCEYLN spies6Georgia (8:35:49 PM): Oh noes. spies6jaya (8:35:50 PM): huh? Sorin the Seeker (8:35:51 PM): "you are not a Spy."
spies6Boris (8:18:12 AM): that was when the information was revealed spies6gretchen (8:19:07 AM): nice record-keeping Boris spies6Boris (8:19:38 AM): i felt it was an important moment spies6gretchen (8:19:48 AM): agreed. very much so. spies6gretchen (8:20:03 AM): interesting you chose to keep it. did anyone else? spies6Boris (8:20:21 AM): i am not aware, though the whole opening chat was posted on the main boards spies6Boris (8:20:27 AM): I simply saved that part in particular spies6levi (8:20:31 AM): It's in the main boards. spies6levi (8:20:41 AM): I only archive one-on-ones and small group chats spies6gretchen (8:20:48 AM): well that answers that then. spies6Georgia (8:20:54 AM): I saved the entire spies6 room chat, just in case. spies6levi (8:20:56 AM): Unless, of course, something extremely interesting happens in the main room. spies6gretchen (8:21:24 AM): awesome. well it's going to be an interesting first vote then, that's for sure. spies6Boris (8:21:44 AM): yes, main room chats are a lot of fluff with a little bit of interesting bits every once in a while spies6levi (8:22:00 AM): Like for instance when we played Mafia spies6Boris (8:22:19 AM): i wish i had saved that conversation, though i am glad someone else did spies6Boris (8:22:30 AM): i did not know that it would be that important spies6Boris (8:23:01 AM): it was robert that saved it spies6gretchen (8:24:14 AM): can someone add Kirsten? i don't know how to use AIM that well yet spies6Kirsten (8:24:57 AM) has entered the room. spies6Kirsten (8:25:06 AM): team 426264 represent! spies6Georgia (8:25:09 AM): Ahh. I just reread the one Sam had posted. But I didn't see anything about him saying the Spies knew each other. I suppose it was inferred that since a Spy knew they were a Spy from the beginning, then all Spies would know all Spies from the beginning. spies6gretchen (8:25:31 AM): that's how i took it Georgia spies6Boris (8:25:47 AM): he says it spies6Boris (8:26:16 AM): Sorin the Seeker (8:36:27 PM): This whole time... the Spies who were already Spies spies6Yvette (8:36:32 PM): That's fine, I've already noticed 3-4 people that didn't seem to be acting normally anyway. Sorin the Seeker (8:36:45 PM): this entire time they were in force while we are resting, relaxing, and brushing each other's hair? spies6Boris (8:36:51 PM): ug, i did not save my conversations from earlier today spies6almathea (8:36:53 PM): we got plenty tp analyse spies6rey (8:36:54 PM): haha alright, so basically the spies knew they were spies this whole time.. Sorin the Seeker (8:37:00 PM): Seems like the Spies are one step ahead of us.
spies6Georgia (8:27:47 AM): Well, it is a matter of semantics then. He sais they were in force. But that doesn't neccesarily mean that they all knew whom each other was. spies6Georgia (8:27:52 AM): *says spies6levi (8:28:36 AM): Maybe they knew if they were a Spy, but not who their partners were? spies6Kirsten (8:28:40 AM): I'm not sure what this discussion is about, but why is it relevant that they knew each other at that point? spies6Boris (8:28:41 AM): that was done last season spies6Boris (8:28:57 AM): and kirsten is right, it is not relevent spies6Boris (8:29:04 AM): it is only relevent that they already knew they were spies spies6gretchen (8:29:19 AM): agreed. we have spies. let's find them. kinda simple. spies6Kirsten (8:29:35 AM): right, that's what I was going for Boris spies6Boris (8:29:40 AM): ah, ok spies6levi (8:29:49 AM): It almost seems like this twist was designed to divert our attention from the Spies. spies6levi (8:30:08 AM): Seeing as they've only won once in five seasons, maybe Sam's trying to even the odds? spies6Kirsten (8:30:14 AM): personally, I don't think this twist was that huge spies6Kirsten (8:30:24 AM): pregame chatting isn't exactly the place where spies are generally caught spies6gretchen (8:30:38 AM): hahaha spies6levi (8:31:13 AM): ^ True statement spies6Georgia (8:32:53 AM): Very true. spies6Georgia (8:33:25 AM): I think the only advantage it could've possibly given, is if someone changed their playing style, or conversation style. From before have an alignment, and to afterwards. spies6Kirsten (8:34:05 AM): yeah spies6Kirsten (8:34:06 AM): that's true spies6levi (8:34:26 AM): Does our team have an organized meeting time for tonight? spies6Georgia (8:35:06 AM): I don't know. I think it was just mentioned that tonight we would try to have a group chat. spies6Boris (8:35:07 AM): if it does, i do not know how long i will be able to stay spies6gretchen (8:45:18 AM): i will be back from work in around 7 hours, if that helps. spies6Boris (8:45:54 AM): gretchen, i must ask you to post some information about what you feel of our team spies6Boris (8:46:09 AM): on our boards spies6gretchen (8:46:11 AM): sure Boris. as in who i think is who? spies6Boris (8:46:15 AM): yes spies6Boris (8:46:27 AM): other teams have had each member do a write up on their team mates spies6Boris (8:46:44 AM): i feel it is a good practice, and am trying to get others to do so spies6levi (8:46:45 AM): Yes, please do post there spies6gretchen (8:46:50 AM): no problem. i have to leave for work very shortly - but i will do it when i come home if that's ok. yes i did notice we have started to do the same thing. spies6Boris (8:47:03 AM): also, i haven't seen a lot from you, and would like to know what you are thinking spies6Kirsten (8:47:13 AM): I'm writing mine up right now spies6Kirsten (8:47:22 AM): I posted it in my confessional last night, so I just have to transfer mostly spies6levi (8:47:23 AM): I've put one in my confessional. I'll post it. spies6levi (8:47:29 AM): Lol at coincidence spies6gretchen (8:47:57 AM): you haven't because i haven't been here for personalo reasons Boris. i can't help that. spies6Boris (8:48:33 AM): i am understanding of this spies6Boris (8:49:04 AM): i hope you will eventually spies6gretchen (8:49:09 AM): i hope so you will have my initial thoughts this afternoon. you have my word. spies6Boris (8:49:18 AM): thank you
-=-
I will keeo this for after work tonight.
Note; Kirsten's thoughts on the vote - if Spies know who Spies are from te start, it is important.

MESSAGE FROM DONALD / MY RESPONSES: Hi Donald! First up, I just wanted to say thank you for taking the time to message me instead of assuming that I am non-commital / don't care about the game. Because I do. The timezones make it tough. What are some of your thoughts on the game in general? - So far I like the idea. I think the first Exile is rough and some people are really worried about being removed from the game. But it's part of the game and it's what we signed up for. I want to stay around so I can explore people's motives and thoughts and intentions. That's why I agreed to apply in the first place. Who have you had a chance to talk to in chat? - Kirsten mostly. She found me when I was online last night and we had a basic discussion about how the game set up works. I also spoke to Levi quite a bit this morning (just before you signed in and had to leave) and Boris also barked some orders at me but didn't speak to me directly as such. What opinions have you formed about those players? - Kirsten: Smart, savvy, one to watch out for. Wouldn't feel comfortable voting her out yet. - Levi: Likely to be a Spy. Gut feeling mostly, but seems very interested in people's feelings towards others and how they react when accused. - Boris: Likes to be in control and wants things to run his way. Not happy with things that aren't the level he wants. More than likely a Cit though. Why haven't you been participating much on the boards? - I don't think that the majority of the discussion boards yet have needed my irrelevant thoughts. The idles / lurkers debate will rage on and I don't think I have an answer to that. Once I was online I did post my first response which was that I had been away for personal reasons but I am here now and fully committed to catching up and working with the team. Since I have been back, I have now added my thoughts on everyone also as requested by Boris this morning. Is there anybody you're suspicious of so far? Who? Why? - Amelia and Sam are both suspicious in terms of their lurking. They were active from the start and now seem to be in/out a lot. Unsure as to their alignments. As mentioned before I also have my suspicions about Levi. This is all however based on purely reading the chats and a couple of convos. Once I actually get to speak with everyone one on one I will be better equipped to make more confident decisions. If you had to vote somebody right now, who would it be? - Amelia Any questions for me? I hope to talk with you before the exile. - I would like to know your thoughts on who you think is a Spy within the team and why? And also, do you trust anyone on our team yet? -=- Thanks again for contacting me Gretchen. xxx

spies6Georgia (18:33:54): That is because very early on the Starting day,you asked if I was a Spy. Which I thought was a very weird question, considering no one had their roles yet. spies6Kirsten (18:34:24): didn't the spies already know at that point? spies6levi (18:34:32): Yes they did spies6Georgia (18:34:39): So when Sam revealed that the Spies had known they were Spies during the Opener's Chat - I thought it verry weird.
-=-
Did Georgia just back-track?

Thanks for posting that PM, I appreciate it. I know it's not easy to post all those conversations and stuff but it helps. I bet using PMs will help you reach players you might have a time zone conflict with.
Just wanted to drop in and say I'm reading everything you write and appreciate the thoughts. Maybe I could ask ya a few questions:
What do you think of the latest Exile? Who would you have saved if you had the chance? Does anyone or anything stick out as suspicious from the whole process?
What do you think of your new team? Anyone who you got to talk to previously on it?
What do you think about this whole blueprint business?
I'm really glad you're enjoying the game and getting into the swing of things, geez I have trouble catching up with every post in the Burg and I visit this site way too much haha.

What do you think of the latest Exile? Who would you have saved if you had the chance? Does anyone or anything stick out as suspicious from the whole process? I love that our team was so divided. I think the division and people's reactions will become useful as the game plays out. It's great to see that there was a lot of independent thought instead of everyone just following one idea. Which could have been because: a) They were too lazy / didn't do enough research to come up with their own vote and a reason why. b) They honestly believed their vote was for a Spy. c) They jumped on the bandwagon to appear Cit. If I had to choose, I would have saved Callahan. I think the dynamic between he and Yvette was very interesting and he seemed like possibly the biggest Cit playing the game right now to me. Anything suspicious in the whole process? Not really. It's hard to say - you could read that people who didn't vote for Alma were Spies trying to save one of their own, but I doubt it. Given the number of Spies in one team, in theory anyway, it would be pretty dumb to stick your neck out this early on. The votes and what they mean at the moment hasn't been revealed as yet - it's only with time that their meaning will become more apparent. What do you think of your new team? Anyone who you got to talk to previously on it? Yes, I got to speak with Kirsten and Georgia a lot, so I am happy to be back with them again. I also had a brief chat to Yvette, but nothing more than polite conversation. I have sent a couple of messages back and forth with Donald, so it's cool to have him again - I like that he approached me to discuss my thoughts, that won him points. What do you think about this whole blueprint business? I think people were worrying about it too much initially - and accusing someone as being a Spy because they also weren't all that concerned (it's meaning is going to be revealed at some point, right?) was just downright ridiculous. That reminds me, I have to go and find who was going on about that way too much and add them to my list of people I think waste too much time on stuff which doesn't concern them just yet. Forward-thinking, in my book anyway, is one of the key characteristics of a good Spy. But I look forward to more hints and the great unveiling of the Blueprint. Hopefully I am around for it.
