sams whining episode 1

[Judge Sam]

omg. i forgot how much of a roller coaster ride this thing is. i guess a year is a long time. and I don't know why I get so attached lol.


the thing is the first 2 days were just like amazing and so much fun and I loved it a lot. Forgot how cool it was to pull off something like this with so many cool people. makes me smile now that I think about it.


but today it's the bottom of the roller coaster. okay i know this is dumb but this is why the thread is called sam's whining if you didn't want to read sam's whining why would you click on a thread that said sam's whining. and i know there's ~29 people who are LOVING it and actually i just got an IM from a random person who wanted to apply yay but still.


also as an aside the spies aren't doing well and 2 could be exiled first and i mean thats okay i expected at least 1 to go within this team period but..... if they all suck.... and all of them suck, and they all go right away... i mean that would just suck. I spent so much time on this game. so much, and I was looking forward for it for so long, and it could all be crappy because I picked (and/or random numbered) crappy spies. =/ =( ;_; that's just depressing.


ok so here's what happened after a awesome first day:


jocelyn disappeared. ok this doesn't bother me too much. i was hoping she'd get inactive'd out at exile. or i can replace her. the thing is I think she might have left and not come back because 1) i gave her an ugly picture (get over it! plus lol look at the picture she sent me) and 2) she didn't like the endurance challenge twist. so she quit. maybe. then again it could just be that she has family over, i dunno. didn't samantha like disappear after day 3 for awhile? lol.


tri pulled out. ok this i was a little miffed with but now that's like so 1990. I was excited for him to play and think he'd be great but here's the thing. he's wasted SO MUCH OF MY TIME. god. first in spies 5, i got 3 im's from him during the application period. i talked to him a bit. no app. then in spies 6 the SAME THING. then he applied like 2 days late and someone drops so i give him that spot. and I *should have* made him pick a new character cause thor is shitty (and what is it with all these greek names this year lol, like everyone is a greek god, actually jocelyn's first hcoice for name was "phedre." ) but i was just so sick of dealing with people's names i was like fuck it. but in the end i found an awesome picture for thor haha.

anyway so then he pulls out. douchebag. WASTED SO MUCH OF MY TIME.

pete. wow. this guy cracked on fucking day 4. jesus christ. just play the damn game. i dont even know if he's in or out. i want him to play but another part of me wants him out so i cna replace in a really good spy. we will see.

paris = ahn. ok so ahn is awesome. and i feel bad about guessing his motives haha cause he's always been super-duper nice. but he didn't like his traitor role. i know he really really wanted to be a spy. and thats ok, not everyone likes every role they get. ahn has had a lot of roles but that is because the random number generator likes him and i'm not going to not give him a role if it lands on him. so then he tells me he's just going to play it as a regular citizen. ok, whatever.


THEN he tells me now that he wants out. cause of a trip at the end of june and working and something about internet. honestly i thought it was all just crap b/c of his role (lol like i said i feel bad about that but still). so maybe he is gone. which frustrates me a lot.


so who fucking is going to be next? lol. no doubt some other wackjob is going to go overboard and burn out just FOUR FUCKING DAYS into the game. jesus christ.


oh did i tell you i already had to listen to oswald's grumpiness and calm down ross's obsessiveness? ALREADY?!?!


i don't think it is unreasonable for me to complain about this stuff. i mean i know it's unreasonable to think all 32 people are going to just stay in the game evne through the 1 month long application process and plenty of time to leave. and i have an AWESOME unbelievable cast every other game would die for. that makes me smile.


but still. jocelyn: tell me if you dont want to play any more thats fine. thank god i have enough applications now that the game doesn't hinge on people leaving like it did in 1,2, and to an extent 3. tri: stop wasting my time. pete: wtf, it's a fucking game. paris: ugh. just ugh. ross: wtf, it's a fucking game.


perhaps I should just tell them all to leave and replace haha. that sounds tempting...

[Judge Sam]

well pete is back. who knows on paris. still no word on jocelyn.

but now khaled votes for himself? argh. i woke up really happy about things today too lol.

Shit! That was my spies8 name!

[Paris]

This was really funny to read and I feel sooo sooo bad Sam!

First off let me clarify some things:

1.) Yes, I was a bit concerned/didn't like the Traitor role as much as I should have but I was never going to give up on it. When I said I wanted to play like a citizen, that's how I feel all spies should play like, as if they were in the shoes of a citizen. My job was to find out the spies so that I can lend them a helping hand. It was not really my intentions at all to deliberately try to seek and destroy them all. I definitely had more willingness to play the game than one would think.

2.) The trip: I was offered a trip to go to New Zealand for free from June 24th to July 7th. I didn't make my decision yet because I was getting a tumor removed from my right nostril via endoscopic surgery (random, I know). But at the same time, I was playing Spies as well and I had to decide - FREE TRIP TO NZ or Spies...Honestly I think most people would choose to go to NZ for free so I told my friends, that I would go. Unfortunately my surgery date prevented me from going so I ended up backtracking and decided to play the game.

3.) I live at my cousin's house now over the summer and their connectivity honestly sucks. It logs on and off and it was not the type of connection that would motivate one to go online lol. I had limited amount of times on it and it was just really hard balancing time/connecting. I usually played Spies (in the past) on my school internet or at home.

4.) Picked up a job that included night shifts. So yeah that cut away availability time for me.

With all that said, please don't think I gave up on the game, I really wasn't trying to. I know how I am as a player and how dedicated I am to the series and the fact that all these interferences/obstacles/bribes (i suppose) came in the way, made it really hard to juggle everything at once.

That is the reason why i came to you in the first place because Paris was such an awesome character in my eyes and had a really unique role (well, that is if you don't count ANGUS lol) and I wanted to see it play out. That was the reason I asked you to replace me because I didn't want it to go to waste . But you convinced me to stay in the game and my time constraints just didn't let me go further.

I SOO wish I could have been able to do more with the role as I wanted to definitely try different things but alas that's the game.

So again, I did not deliberately try to quit simply of what I received.

P.S.

I love Sam <3

Isn't Thor a Norse god...

[Thor]

^ ! Yes.

Awww Anh. I hope you're okay now, healthwise. And it SUCKS that you had to turn down a free trip to NEW ZEALAND - how awesome would that have been? At least the random number generator loves you.
