I cannot express how effing upset I am that we exiled Alma! WTF? We have 4 effing spies on our team, we could have chosen anyone at all probably and had them exiled, and instead 2 of us voted for Alma!!! WTF!!! I am trying to compose myself before going to spy headquarters and screaming bloody murder. I'm now worried about my fellow spies -- am I to be the next under the effing bus? Ellis was so worried about me voting for joc at the last second -- I thought joc might stand a chance. I can't effing believe that we exiled alma. So the ? is what do i do from here? Trying to do damage control for voting for joc for myself, but need to think of what to post in HQ to get the rest of the spies on board. This is absolutely disgraceful.

I am still just bumfungled by this. But a thought suddenly occurred to me, is there some spy within a spy group? Are Jason & Pete some double -- or is that triple agents?

I am going to wait until tomorrow or maybe Saturday to post in HQ. Need to digest all of this and not post too hastily. If there is a spy in spy group, I need to be very careful!, if not, I still need to think of a way to get other spies on board and not throwing me under the bus.
Who'd have thought it? The best part about being a spy should be that you can trust your fellow spies. And it turns out I can't trust anyone.

I'm actually glad she stuck with her guns and didn't get swayed by Rey to vote Alma at the last minute. Way to stay strong, Jaya! I think the braveness/boldness will help you out. And way to be a weak, weasly, little wimp, Jason.

Thank you for posting your thoughts, I appreciate knowin what's goin on inside your head. I know things can get a bit heated which I think your decision not to post in the Spy HQ for a day or two is a really good one. It's good to think things through and be calm before you post (I need to remind myself of this more often! lol. ) There is not any double or triple agents haha, no worries about that. One positive that came out of it, and I kinda agree with Jason on this haha, is that your vote for Jocelyn could be a positive even though it looks a little iffy. If you stick to your guns, don't apologize, and go with whatever reason you had for voting for her it could be a good thing. One thing you could think of would be, how would you as a citizen react if everyone else voted for a Spy and you voted for a Citizen in a really close vote? You might be a little embarassed, surprised, but maybe also a little defensive. Try and channel that maybe. The thing with bussing other spies is that it's such a complicated thing and often there's no right answer. If I could be a little blunt, Almathea was dead in the water from almost day two. Her impression of a citizen was non-existent and poor at best. Maybe she just got off on the wrong start but surely she wasn't going to last more than another two rounds even if she was saved by Jocelyn going. By voting for her now several spies were able to get a lot of street cred that they will use to y'alls benefit in the future. I know it looks like they backstabbed her but Almathea did approve of it and it's not like she didn't know it was coming lol. If more of you had stuck their necks out for her, not only would have Almathea gone down eventually but you guys would be next on the chopping block. Another positive is that you might be able to channel these feelings and use them as a citizen. I'm sure you've encountered many wacky citizens so far who have been loose-lipped and said and done strange things, if you could continue to do that it might help ya out haha. But I think you're doing an alright job so far!

Urgh. The Jaya vote was a mistake. However, I told no lie when it came to this thing, I really did vote for her hours before the exile because I had revision to do. I did not think she would be getting many votes (by the way, I had been on so little this episode, this is probably my 'most inactive' time) but I did think she would be getting attention soon, so, yes, this was a bussing, but it was meant to be a delayed bussing.....I dont know, like, tieing her down with string and blindfold the bus driver or something.....(I'm not sure where I'm going with this analogy....)
Anyways, the Jaya exile was a mistake that could have easily of been avioded if the spies had chatted more and essentially did better. Now, I'm not saying Jaya should have been better, oh no, I'm saying I should have been. This is the second of three spy exiles that if I was a little bit better, I could have stopped....Sigh...and then I go on to get a citizen medal for all this...it did NOT feel good, despite the tinge of anomosity between the spies.

Pshaw, some of us planned to exile a fellow spy as a strategy months before we even became one. It was absolutely the right move, and while I can't speak for the rest of these bozos, it threw me off big-time: I didn't have any idea you were or could be a spy for at least the first three rounds, and never suspected you strongly enough to do anything about it.

Then it accomplished exactly what I was hoping for! Tyson was of course an inspiration for Jason; I wanted to do the whole final 3 thing that Tyson did and everything.

But yeah, trust me, you do NOT want to be in that situation. (Alternatively, just ask Spies5Samantha!)

Well, in my opinion, Jason could have gone to the final three and won if need be. He could have, if he wanted to, voted me off and have Jenya look much worse, having Jenya wanting to vote off Kirsten and visa verca....it would be the ultimate insult to the end of the game, but...he decided against it, thankfully (We had talked quite a bit about the 14th round imprisonment beforehand and we both had decided on Levi going that round....)

Yeah, I would have been tempted to exile Jenya, with her having voted for Levi while Jason and Levi and I exiled the spy. That would have been a dangerous (and needlessly stupid) play, though. Who knows what might have happened. Jenya could have possibly convinced me she was town during that final episode. In fact, she could have simply made the argument that "If I was a spy, I could have simply exiled protected Pete and forced you to lynch me" and that would have been fairly convincing. I wish you had done this, though. I would have loved another chance to drop the hammer in final 3 .

It definitely would been extremely tense, scary, and amazing, but... DC wanted to make the Finale, I didn't want to betray Pete, and I didn't want to turn on Jenya, so... That's why I resisted the temptation to carry out the Final Three scenario

1. Thanks Trey - LOL
1a. There's far more victory in a win at the F5 than one at the F3 - it said you defeated the citizens so badly the game didn't even get to LYLO.
2. Cath's confessionals are indeed neat. I liked the ones in her personal forum.
