There's a lot to confess this time around...
So.. Sophia was Exiled and turned out to be a Spy. I'm suddenly very thankful that my relationship with her wasn't common knowledge..
Oh wait.. it is.
In her Final Words she named me and Angus as people that she would miss in the game. I certainly hope she wouldn't be dumb enough to out a Spy partner but how could she know that I wasn't one? Ugh. And now I had to field questions last night about our relationship and the 'bet' we'd made.
Like I wasn't under enough scrutiny already.
So.. Sophia left.. and then we were merged. Meeting up with Cy (Sophia's partner and a Roleblocker) and Subhi (poor Mr. Lonely). I have to admit that Cy didn't surprise me that much. He does kind of fit the mold of a Spy but at the same time we haven't been doing much Spy searching in that spectrum of the field. Subhi was a bit of a surprise to me since he was one of my early suspects that I gave up on when he answered my questions strongly and stayed out of the light since then.
And now we're a happy family of 5.. with delusions of grandure and thoughts that maybe we're still not alone in this game.
A meeting of the minds is a great thing for us but also a change.. a big enough change that Cy produced a huge slip up in the Spies5Chat. Where he made a comment in public that was supposed to be for a Spy.
Hoerenjong.. Randdebiel..
Godverdomme.
That's the problem with the meetings. More chances to be careless now that we know who the others are.
Now that they know that we know who the others are.
Well fuck me gently.. this is a whole new game, my friends, and two of us are in grave danger.

You know what I find most frustrating? Is that no matter what you do someone will find it suspicious. When I was fence sitting it was a heinous grievance against the Burg. And now that I'm voting and taking stances they're like "good job.. but he's not a Spy so way to suck". They're never happy. It's like having a group of mother-in-laws critiquing every ingredient you dare to place in the sauce pan.

I think Cy is screwed. If he would listen to Samantha and try and diffuse the situation ASAP I think there would be a chance. But the longer he waits to address everything the worse it's going to become and we're going to lose our last Roleblocker.
I did talk to Samantha today about my Roleclaim she seems to think that there's use in preparing for it. I want to do my 'investigation' on a Cit so that I can pull someone into my pocket nad use them to my advantage if I need to claim. As in "this isn't a spur of the moment deal, ask __ because I investigated them and told them about my Role __ days ago".
Which means I need to get a move on because after Cy goes I'm a possible next target and I can't sit back and watch as the Spies are slaughtered one after another.

As terrible as this sounds.. Cy screwing up has given me a stay of execution. I was number one suspect for so many people this coming round.. including several of my Spy buddies.
Suddenly he screws up and I have a chance to redeam myself. Be vocal. Be cautious. Be thorough.
There's still a chance for me to play here. But the downer is that if he's Exiled.. proven to be Spy.. and I haven't had a chance to draw attention strongly away from myself I could be the next. But this gives me a full Exile period to work on my Roleclaim, my credibility and much much more.
Definitely thankful for it but I'm not sure it's worth losing another Spy and a Roled one at that.

Samantha deserves some major props for her role amongst the Spies.
She's the least suspicious of the group. She's made strong connections. She's a strong player and she's using everything she's got to help the rest of us stay afloat.
Definitely greatful to have her on my side.

Another large posts.. just a few days later.. and it's getting harder and harder to scrounge for material for these kind of sweeping posts.
People expect things out of me now. Expectations of activity and now I'm supposed to stop fence sitting and provide ideas and concepts. Well I can't pull them from thin air because then I look like a Spy trying to railroad someone. I have to be mindful of what I am producing because at some point this well is going to run dry and I'm going to be caught holding the bucket while the fire brigade demands more water.

I think for next Episode I'm going to start organizing conversations differently.. a thread for my Spy based ones and a thread for my Cit based ones. It's becoming more difficult to search threads for things when I have them mixed together. Just stating an intention so I don't forget it. I can be forgetful sometimes. <.<

The Burg frustrates me.
They talk in circles. They make demands. They judge people poorly. So on and so forth. There's no way to satisfy the Burg and there's alawys someone what will find something suspicious in anything that's even perfectly Cit.
Like tonight?
Otto comments that my Fallout post was exactly what a Spy would do! Yes.. let's make sure that the Burg doesn't get caught up in lynching the scum.. let's make sure we keep our options open for next time.. let's make sure he IS a spy..
Totally things a Spy would do.
Stop over fucking analyzing.

Carly's bitchy posts zijn onnodig en opruiend. Ik heb genoeg gehad van d'r kleine rotopmerkingen omdat ze denkt dat ze zo goed is. Ze is niet zo goed als ze denkt dat ze is, en ze heeft geen reden om deze rotopmerkingen te maken tijdens 't spel. Ik heb zin om d'r een smak te verkopen en ik hoop dat ze eens goed naar m'n journal kijkt als het spel over is, voor een goede kijk op mjn en iedereen's lage dunk van haar. Niemand houdt van een zelf dienende, betweterige, bitchy slet. Ik kan niet wachten tot ze zich in de soep draait met d'r geniepige gedrag.

Between my rant above and my rant in IM with Cy.. I think I'm alright for this round. But the fact is.. English just d idn't have enough words to express how vexed I am in this situation. I'm tired of everything going on and I'm losing patience while the game loses it's appeal.
Just going to have to play it calm, don't let myself get too irked.. and when I do just take it out on my poor unsuspecting Journal.

Your role looks like something I'd do. The only thing I would change to make it more "like I would do" is make the Investigation # a LOT higher, if have that at all. Investigations are super-rare.

I feel like screaming at this people. They get after every little nuance of a post with a fine tooth comb. And how did they find both Spies? By those people slipping up. You're not really going to find fault in general Spy strategy.. at least not with someone who's shown as much brains as I have!
What they're doing is just meant to make puzzle pieces fit they way they want them to. It's like putting a square peg in a round hole and sawing away the edges to make it work. Fundamentally it doesn't work that way.
The Spies who have been caught were caught because of a fundamental slip up.. not an opinion. I think that's a huge point to be made in this case and the only points against me at this moment in time are once that are based on my opinions and strategy.

I see troubled waters ahead if we can't pull everything together because ideally we want to have (or at least Spy strategy according to an old Spy partner of mine):
5 at 25 // 4 at 16 // 3 at 12
We had our 5 at 25.. and Cy is about to dissapear. Which means we need to make it to 16 (roughly 3 rounds) before we lose another. At the rate they're suspecting we're in dire straights because I don't think I can hold out that long.
If I need to I can rely on my Roleclaim for several Episodes to at least draw out my time in the game. At most I think people would give me 2-3 extra Exiles if they were skeptical of the Roleclaim. Then again.. they were skeptical of Katie and look how long she's lasted?

Je weet dat je me gigantisch hebt geirriteerd, Carly. En jammergenoeg ben je de enige persoon in het spel dat daadwerkelijk nederlands kan lezen. Zal je net zien.
