Wow. These people are nuts. I've never had such an argumentative bunch since like Spies 2. And even in Spies 2 not every chat room turned into a flame fest. With these people it's like they are at each other's throats daily haha. I have a feeling I'm going to lose one or two to the nastiness but it may be worth it. In terms of reality television it's like jackpot gold haha. Crazy. Never seen anything like it. Makes all other fights I've seen pale in comparison. That is one thing about mafia - normally in games you can get rid of the troublemakers. That hasn't happened so far here haha. All of em are still around to make things more 'fun'!

So Thor spy wasn't a spy. Probably one of the biggest surprises for me thus far as far as my guesses go. Why in the world was he exiled? I see nothing in the Burg about it. I really did think though he'd flip spy. William's imprisonment surprises me a bit. Congrats to Tiberius if he publicly outed a role holder. Maybe that's not the case, but it could very well be. So with Thor gone, I have to do some rearranging on my spies. It looks like the noose is slowly tightening around Rey. So my current spies list after the 2 new loses. Mirela, Rey, and I think I'll put Georgia in my maybe category and instead throw Boris into my top 3 for now. Ariel is also becoming an intriguing pick as well, but we shall see.

Post by DC on Jun 25, 2009 8:52:35 GMT -5
No one seems that upset about whatever fight went on last night. At least, I'm not seeing it in the Burg posts.
I'm so annoyed with Mirelaspy wasting her time making a case on a DEAD CITIZEN (Thor). She's only using it to point suspicion at Rey. Who I do not really think is a Spy.
Thor's flip didn't surprise me. As I saw the exile votes for him piling up, my gut was like, "but he's a citizen".
I do not think Ariel or Khaled are Spies. Here's how I look at it: If the Spies knew of William's role ahead of time, wouldn't they have tried to get him lynched instead of Faith during the "Iris has a role, everyone change your vote!" panic? They'd have eliminated a citizen with a role and kept the citizen who was still very lynchable and a layer of protection around Iris. Ariel and Khaled clearly knew of William's role.
Also in regards to Ariel: She chose to kill Almathea over Roxy. Not only did that kill a Spy, but it also exposed Jaya. And then she led Jaya's exile. Arielspy? Seriously? I don't think so.
I still suspect Mirela and Boris. Who the third is, I don't know. I just have ideas on who it isn't.

I like the relatively low number of your suspects. I think sometimes people forget that at the start of last Episode there were only 3 spies out of 18 people... and while I don't doubt they have their fingers in a honeypot or two, I don't know how much masterful control of all angles just 3 people can accomplish haha. But you wouldn't know that by the magnitude of some people's suspects! Maybe just a lot of citizens are acting awful suspicious at the moment too.

I think I'm going to re-evaluate once again my spy suspects. My last list doesn't really flow together at all. Now that I think about it, I find it almost impossible to believe that Mirela and Rey are both spies.
Has anyone else noticed how chummy Georgia and Rey are? When anyone attacks Rey, she swings in to save the day and defend him. They act as though are in agreement on just about everything. It just strikes me as an odd relationship.
I really don't think it's a bad deal on Jenya's part to bring the 3 "super cits" out into the spotlight a bit. Kirsten and Ariel have both come up with fairly legit defenses explain what they've done that makes them a cit. I'm afraid that Rey's devil may care and you suck for suspecting me attitude will eventually lead to his exile.
Gretchen looks like she finally got the hint that people thus far have found her useless. She's now at least attempting to do some spy hunting and not talking about baker's dozen jelly donuts she had for brunch.
So, I still say Mirelaspy. Her end may be coming soon if Rey doesn't bite the dust first. Where has Boris been lately? For now I'll go with spy. Now while Rey does not fit in at all with Mirela as a spy, Georgia is a bit more plausible. Still a stretch, but I think that's who I'll go with at the moment.

As for right now I still just think Rey is emotional!cit. There's always some. I think he's on the right track though with looking back at the very first round and seeing how people interacted then with known spies, rather than metagaming with that info.
I cannot see Ariel or Kirsten spy at all. Ariel wouldn't have dominated those first two rounds as a spy and Kirsten has been consistent and really cracked down on the other two spies (Donald, Iris).
Of course Jenya's intentions are good about trying to weed out the nasties from the "super cits", so what we should really be looking at is who is feeding the fire to exile one of those three.
Since Thor was a cit...I'm going with Mirela/Boris/Levi. Outside chance of Amelia for Levi. Levi's been gunning for Rey for ages now, and he's getting his just desserts this round. Rey's caught in the crossfire and Levi will have a field day. But is Levi as much as a noob cit as he lets on? Don't think so. Still could be though, that's why I have Amelia as an optioin.
JUST EXILE MIRELA DAMNIT.

Casey I also love Cory/spies5Angus: "There's one final fly in the ointment of variables that needs to be considered though. DC. DC is a star player. She's Michael Jordan. She's Gretzky. She played in Spies 1 to 5 and led the team she was on to the win every time. She's responsible for the only spy-side win and she led Goatrevolt kicking and screaming across the finish line in S5 (sorry dude, you know it to be true ). I was very curious to see how Spies 6 would play out without her playing - but I think she's in the players gallery making guesses, which, frankly is probably unbalancing the game in favor of the cits all on its own." mafiascum.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=11574&start=50&sid=29d9365779d9cba5a9a23b479192c4f9The last part made me worry just a bit. See, I've tried to not influence the players in Spies 6. I don't think that occasionally stating my Spies list and giving generic advice to both sides is harmful. I've especially made sure to not post cases on my suspects in the Public Grounds - that would be crossing the line. Basically, I don't want anyone to say "My vote is for Mirela because DC said she suspects her", you know? And that's why I'm glad we have this forum - because I "need" someplace to jot down my thoughts on the game without feeling like my posts would influence the actions players made.

Regarding Casey's second video:
"Instead of Where's Waldo, can we find Oswald, for the third time?" - LOL
I love light self-depricating humor, so I really laughed when you were talking about Tiberius's pity parties and Gretchen quitting.
Loved your tone when you were talking about Jason
"Everyone pales in comparison to Kirsten" - yeah!
I very much approve of your omission. I think you handled it the right way.

on a personal note, I like it when you say what I'm thinking when you talk about losers who drop out without saying anything haha. (if you don't want to play or are busy, just say so and go.) Especially with Amelia / Boris, that made me laugh.

Yet another interesting choice for imprisonment. Not at all any sort of a threat. However, I think I can see the logic behind it. I'll call it the Finn Effect. If you look on the boards, there were almost little to no public suspicions of Oswald. While he was not all that active nor hunting, pretty much everyone viewed him as a citizen and it would have been just about impossible to get him lynched. While there are definitely bigger threats and better candidates, this wasn't necessarily a bad move for the spies to make.
With all of that said, maybe they'd learned something behind the scenes about Oswald and it isn't as simple as I made it. I guess we'll see.
On a side note, and I'd have to look back to be sure, but I think Amelia made a big deal out of Oswald being replaced and making the assumption that there must be something special about him for Sam to replace him and not modkill. Of course that line of thinking is way off base with folks like Paige and Delilah replaced last year, but I wonder how people will bring that up against her, if they do bring it up.

I think it was a stupid imprisonment because this Oswald had no idea what was going on. Unless all the Citizens are way off-base with their suspicions, it was a poor choice.

I really have no idea as to "why Oswald." At the moment that was the only thing that came to mind. If they are looking to imprison those who are unlikely to be exiled, I agree that people like Roxy, Jason, and Tiberius would be much better choices. I'd like to know what the method to their madness is.

Tibby, honey, how about you read the cases I made against Rey and Khaled, for starters, and give us bullet points on how you feel about them? Or would you rather wait and see what everyone else thinks about them? Three things: 1. LOL Jenya. Nice jabbing at Tiberius the bandwagoner. 2. It amuses me when people identify with their character/name/picture so much that they refer to themselves with nicknames - like "Tibby". 3. I hate it when people are like "I'm too lazy to figure shit out, so someone spoonfeed me please". Jenya's so right - read the threads.

lol @ Casey's location on profile
I'm planning out the rest of the game right now and it's looking pretty cool. This live event is the 3rd and final part of the second section of the game. The first section being +/- voting->future week->IRV and the second section being forum mafia ->Sam Lies Week->Live Event. Those were the two main sections that were fully developed before the game started.
I thought I had been a little light on 'twists' but with all that, this third section, and the team thing it's too much as always! lol. and there's still stuff I left out.
I'm a tiny bit sad because were at *only* 15 people left and it's only been like a little over a month if you don't count breaks! And after Monday's Imprisonment we're at 13. Everything went so quickly. Hopefully we last until final seven or something around there *crosses fingers*

So the spies did it. They managed to get Rey exiled. But wait... What role did some of our top suspects play in this whole process?
Mirela and Amelia were not even present for the entire event. Nor was Khaled. Boris sent a vote Amelia's way before leaving. Levi argued to exile Rey, but was not present for the final vote. At least not that I'm aware of. Georgia did not vote in the initial vote. I don't know what her final vote was.
Now, Mirela did push hard for Rey up to the break. It would be assumed that Amelia would vote Rey as well. I guess its interesting though that for the most part, none of our main suspects were really present at this big event to push extra hard for a Rey exile and to save Amelia.
Are we wrong in our guesses? Are the cits that far off at the moment that the suspected spies hardly have to do anything to get another cit exiled? Unless Amelia ends up being a spy, I think things will get much more interesting suddenly.

That's what I was screaming at Casey the entire way through (well, at least through the first three hours or so). It's SO FRUSTRATING to be imprisoned and then think you know something but aren't able to do anything about it, especially if you've told people what you know and they haven't done anything about it either.
