I'm going to actually post in my confessional this time.
People in chat right now are boring as hell. Seriously. They are interested in gaining what I can only classify as "A lotta power" but it apparently has sapped them into mindless machines that just type meaningless words in every 3-4 minutes to keep from losing.
My name is Kirsten, and I demand the awesomeness of spies5 late night chatting.
Correction: My name is not actually Kirsten. I've been lying to you my sweet, sweet confessional.

Ariel = DC? Willingness to go "balls out" if I may borrow an expression to win this challenge?

yeah, early guess is Ariel = DC. Stating right here and right now, that I'm going to not make an attempt to metagame much. I think it would just serve to be distracting, and could lead me down the path of destruction and lies and other bad bad things if I wrongly metagame someone. With that being said, I will likely do an extraordinary amount of metagaming. I can't resist it's allure. Getting a citizen read off of Rey thus far. Mei Yun is fairly neutral. Ariel, neutral. Donald overreacted when I jokingly called him a spy, but then shrugged it off and went with the joke. I think he originally thought I was serious, and then realized that I wasn't eventually. Khaled called me out for "overzealous scumhunting" but didn't follow up on it. Ladies and Gentlemen, you may be asking yourselves right now a simple question: "What does that mean in regards to his alignment?" It's a good question. And my answer is "I have no clue, but I'm posting it in my confessional anyway, bitches." Kind of wish I knew what my role/alignment is. Not like that's important or anything . Just a small little wish of mine. Also, I lied and said I was from the west coast. I need to actively keep myself from slipping up in that regard. Not that it's scummy to lie about that, but because I want to keep myself as free from accusation as possible. Who else on the east coast stays up to ungodly hours of the night? I'm worried that I'm not "girly" enough, and people can already see that I'm a dude. I think I need to channel more of my inner feminine nature. I'm a flower, and I need to blossom into my true beauty. What I'm not is a gruff man, pale from lack of sunlight, sitting in my apartment snacking on cheetos. That's not what I am. I tossed out a pretty hardcore pun in chat to no reception. People were just spamming "post" to ensure they didn't lose the challlenge, and I mentioned that I was suffering from "Post" traumatic stress. And I got silence. Weak. Laugh at my puns oh cast of spies6, you humorless bastards!

Also, I think the girl you picked out for me is pretty damn attractive. Much better than looking at Otto's ugly mug.
Thanks, Sam.

Correction: Otto was damn sexy. Who am I kidding.
On the topic of metagaming:
Rey = Zeenon from Mafiascum. The poetry style posts remind me of something he said in ms general chat once. Also, I think he posted pregame here using the name Zeenon, meaning he's playing. Khaled = Adel from MS? Adel mentioned something about spies6 when somebody posted a thread about spies (my initial reaction as well). Adel made a thread about Wolfram Alpha. Khaled discussed wolfram alpha last night, as well as being knowledgable in pretty much every topic that arose.
Almost 100% sure about Rey = Zeenon. 50-75% sure on Khaled = Adel. 30-50% on Ariel = DC.
Is Kirsten gonna have to accuse a bitch?
Also, should have totally gone for Kristen, not Kirsten. I struggle to spell my own name.

GRRRRRRR. I had a long post typed up but accidentally closed the tab. That is annoying as hell.

This is the part where I attempt to recreate that post I had closed the tab out of, while periodically yelling frustrated expletives at my non-responsive computer screen.
First of all, I'll spend a while feeding my rampant metagaming addiction:
DC, posting in the public area? Not playing? Sad times if true.
Rey = Zeenon. That guess remains active.
Khaled = Adel. That guess has been shot down. Yvette = Adel maybe?
---------------------------------------------------
So, Exile 1 on Thursday, and my choices are amongst my teammates. Let's run through:
Georgia - Seen almost nothing of her. Top candidate for a strict lurker lynch.
Boris - The guy beat me in the hair challenge, that bastard! Apparently he used photoshop, colored in hair, then removed it. Sneaky, smart. My method was a lot less accurate, and a lot more brute force. I just picked a subsection of the hair, counted the hairs I found there, and multiplied it across the size of the picture.
At any rate, I'm getting ciitzen vibes from him, and if I may allow some metagaming, Mike?
Oswald - I have a huge citizen read here. His posts in the exile thread seemed "new player who doesn't know what's up."
William - Neutral read here, leaning slightly citizen. Talking to him I get a citizen vibe. However, he asked me what I thought about Oswald in the tune of "do you think he's legitimately busy or avoiding the game." The way he asked it gave me the impression he was suspicious of Oswald some himself and wanted to verify that suspicion with me. I told him I wasn't suspicious, and then he went on to attack Mei Yun for pushing Oswald. The change in behavior is a little shady. Something to keep in mind.
Gretchen - Pure Inactive. If she doesn't show soon, then I'd love to see her replaced.
Roxy - Neutral. I've spoken with her just a little bit, and didn't learn much either way.
Levi - Leaning scum, but I don't really have any reason why, beyond simple gut. I get the feeling he was just placating me in our brief chat earlier. I proposed an idea, and he didn't really agree or disagree with it. He mentioned something about having suspects but waiting to reveal them, and I would love to see him do so.
Kirsten - 100% pulp free citizen. No added substances, just pure, unadulterated cit.
Donald - My top spy suspect. He's playing a middle of the pack, non-confrontational role right now. I caught him on invisible mode last night, and would love to hear his explanation of why he was on invisible.
Ameila - Top candidate for lurker lynch. I haven't seen much from her. She posted once in the exile thread, and I disagreed with her stance entirely, but I don't think it was suspicious.
Mei Yun - I get kind of mixed reads here. First of all, I'm pretty sure it's a guy. Second of all, (s)he changes behavior from scumhunting at times to being nice overwhelmed with the game girly girly at others. At any rate, not a priority lynch choice this episode.

I think it's funny that Leticia called Kirsten paranoid in the public area. Really? Where are you getting paranoid from? It reminds me of when people were accusing Otto of being paranoid.
WHY DO PEOPLE KEEP THINKING I'M PARANOID!?!? I DON'T UNDERSTAND IT. THEY MUST JUST BE AFTER ME TO TARNISH MY NAME. AHHHHHH

I love and appreciate the thoughts. I really like that picture too. I am a little bit amused that you are attracted to it haha. Just because that I am attracted to it, and then three gay friends of mine who saw it said they were attracted to it, and unless there's something I don't know that's a funny pattern! I've noticed a trend in games when it comes to metagaming. First game: You're new to the crowd. You figure you won't know most of the players, so you don't really spend too much time trying to figure out who's behind each character name. In general it will annoy you when you hear others metagame, because you won't really know what they're talking about. You just want to focus on the present game. Second game: You spend a fair amount of time trying to figure out who's who. Two reasons for this: First, you really really want to know if any of your friends from last game are in this one. Second, you think that if you can figure out who's playing who, you can figure out whether players are Spies or Citizens. Third game: You're worried people will figure out who you are, so you keep your metagaming to yourself. But you still have fun with it in your confessional. Spies 5 had a lot of newbies, plus people may have forgotten things during the year-long gap in between Spies 5 and Spies 6. My concern is there will be a fair amount of metagaming as a result. I am saying this as the benefit from my past experience: metagaming out loud will only get you in trouble (or, worse, in an alliance with Blake. Just kidding, darling). You'll get accusation votes, any hostilities from past game will carry over, people will be irritated with you, the host will be pissed off at you, and you still won't be any closer to figuring out who the Spies are. And Samson will curse you out in his confessional. So try not to metagame. And if you must, just do it in your confessional. Your game will go more smoothly as a result. Also, and this is VERY IMPORTANT, please do not inform me in IM or PM (or your confessional! if you must create a new thread so i don't have to read it) things like "I think Claudia is really ____ and here's why" or "Susie just said something that made me think she is actually _____ lol, I bet that's her." I really really really really really do not want to hear about gossip revolving around people's aliases lol. It's just not fun for me. Don't tell me about your theories. Just post your accusations in the thread in your confessional entitled "Accusation Area" and be done with it.

Haha, that is funny. I'm heterosexual, but I am really attracted to that picture. I'm not sure exactly why either, a lot of the other females in this game have hotter/more beautiful pictures, but this one is oddly alluring. It was an excellent choice. I'll try to keep the metagaming in my pants. I just told someone this was my first game of spies, so that should be incentive to STFU about it.

Well, damn, people think I'm suspicious. The nerve!
Levi started the train, and William and Donald seem to have piled on.
I really hope I don't get exiled. That would suck so much.
Anyway, I'm really tired right now, so I'm not going to post a whole bunch of suspicions and stuff.
I will say that I have a huge grand idea that I would like to start putting in action in hopes of breaking this game wide open for the citizens.
I'm going to start keeping a running tab of who has chatted with who, etc, and I'm going to log all that information. I think later in the game, coming back to that information will be invaluable in determining who makes sense as a scum buddy to X, where X is a caught spy. For example, and this is where i got the idea, we were discussing in chat Mei Yun and her reluctance to post a chat she had with Levi. She eventually provided the chat, and I remarked that it looked unlikely that they were spies together unless they were deliberately making "citizen seeming" chats.
So my first entry is that Mei Yun and Levi are not spies together, citing that chat as evidence. If either of them flips spy, it will make the other appear much more likely to be a citizen. I'm hoping to compile a whole lot of information in this regard, so I might be hounding people to post chats they've had or at least show me segments of chats.

It looks like the Empress Mei Yun, as Leticia would call her, is currently top runner to get exiled.
I don't really think she's a spy. I think she's forgetful, distracted, and loves American Idol far more than any sentient human should, but I haven't seen anything truly spy like yet.
There are a fair number of people still suspicious of me for an early chat with Levi where I didn't have solid stances, and was slow to respond.
REALLY? WHAT ABOUT THE PART WHERE I'VE LAID DOWN SOLID STANCE AFTER SOLID STANCE FROM THAT POINT ON? DOES THAT JUST NOT MATTER AT ALL, OR ARE YOU ALL JUST SPIES LOOKING FOR WHATEVER YOU CAN GET?
So yeah, the reason people are suspicious of me is pretty bullshit. When the most common reason people are suspicious of me is because, and this is a direct quote "other people have expressed suspicion of her" you know you're being hit with a pretty weak case.
Other people are suspicious of me. And that somehow makes me more likely to be a spy. Laughable. Or at least I'd laugh if it wasn't my ass being led to the gallows.
In other news, Donald is looking more citizen-like to me. I'm starting to think his non-confrontational being overly open routine is more a facet of his personality than him being a spy.
And, Levi is a spy. He's far too greedy about jumping on anything he can, and is unwilling to let go of suspicions because he wants to keep open any possible avenues to mislynch he can. I'm thinking back to him greedily jumping on my Donald suspicion while we were discussing his own suspicion of me. I'm thinking back to him placating me (I've worn that word out. I seriously need to check a thesaurus or something) and then throwing it back at me. The guy is looking for cases to build, not looking for spies.
Unfortunately, it looks as though I may be the sole voter for him tomorrow. A shame. A crying shame.
Georgia looks pretty obviously like a citizen to me. Roxy, as well.
Oswald, I'm actually getting more suspicious of simply because I find him to be a lot smarter than he lets on. And that can be dangerous. But for now, I'm content to let him do his thing, but I will be keeping an eye on him.
Levi - Is scum. Enough said.
Donald - I could see him as a spy, definitely, but at the moment I can also see citizen rationale behind his actions.
Boris - 50/50 at this point. He started us giving lists of citizen/spy, etc. but has been absent since.
William - Leaning citizen, but wary. He seems genuine in chat, but avoids taking solid stances, which simply could be a facet of his personality/playstyle.
Gretchen - Is nice to talk to, wants to keep me in the game, yay! Haven't seen anything suspicious from her yet, so willing to chalk her as a cit at this point.
Amelia - Haven't seen much. I recall her mentioning willingness to vote be based on other's suspicion, which is annoying, but I guess she has little else to base her suspicion off of since she has played so little.
Mei yun - Mentioned above that I haven't seen anything to suggest her being a spy. Citizen by default.

I need to think of a good name for a thread where I store all my connection information. Some sort of pun or clever wordplay that reflects me gathering data on connections between players. I'm drawing a blank right now.

Also, I need to go back and edit some of my original chats that had incorrect time stamps. If people checked them close enough, they would nail me for lying about being west coast, and that could easily result in me being exiled tomorrow, as weak as it is. I almost screwed myself with that when I posted a chat with Mei.

This thread makes me feel really bad about having crap confessionals later in the game.
Also, I have a feeling we'll see a post that reads similar to this:
LEVISCUMLEVISCUMLEVISCUMLEVISCUMLEVISCUMLEVISCUMLEVISCUMLEVISCUMLEVISCUM.
That is all.
