spies3Tenchi: We need to talk,
spies3Jordan: we do
spies3Tenchi: I have a life and this game. Give me time to reply.
spies3Jordan: how ya feelin?
spies3Tenchi: I am good.
spies3Tenchi: But to be direct to the point
spies3Tenchi: Im suspicious.
spies3Jordan: aren't we all?
spies3Jordan: who are you suspicious of?
spies3Tenchi: YOU :-)
spies3Jordan: okay
spies3Jordan: I'm not sure what to say to that
spies3Tenchi: But of course
spies3Jordan: I'm not suspicious of you
spies3Tenchi: I want you to explain
spies3Jordan: what would you like me to explain?
spies3Tenchi: give me a moment :-)
spies3Jordan: sure
spies3Tenchi: I did intentionally not vote in the last exile. I did this for a number of reasons.
Number one, having been a part of the group of citizens who joined the game a little bit later I felt I was at a disadvantage. I have never played this game before and to this day I'm still getting a feel for exactly how it works and that, combined with my lack of knowlege made it seem unfair to call someone a spy when I was really still getting my footing.
Number two, I had no intention of voting for someone who I strongly felt was NOT a spy simply to "go with the group". It was pretty clear that Judith was going and with my vote not going to her I would absolutely be making an enemy out of the person I did vote for. This isn't something I was interested in doing when the game had only just begun for me.
Number three, I felt that I was not being targeted in any way and that three self votes would do no serious harm.
spies3Tenchi: this is your first time to play the game right?
spies3Jordan: yes it is
spies3Tenchi: Then who gave you the idea to do self voting. I think it is an advanced strategy to hide information. Somebody should have placed the idea in your head.
spies3Tenchi: ?
spies3Jordan: well I can truthfully say that no one really talks to me and that that move come from my simply looking at my situation and weighing my options
spies3Jordan: it seemed like the best move at the time
spies3Tenchi: Hmm...
spies3Tenchi: and if nobody is talking to you
spies3Tenchi: Why would you "feel that youre not being targeted in any way"
spies3Jordan: for the same reason
spies3Jordan: I'm not sure people even know I'm playing
spies3Tenchi: Thats the odd part of it all.
spies3Tenchi: You just watch things happen.
spies3Tenchi: (sorry that was placed wrong)
spies3Jordan: I won't deny that I'm very under the radar
spies3Tenchi: It sounded so mean ><
spies3Jordan: ha ha
spies3Jordan: well I also kinda hoped that the self votes might help people to believe the truth of my role which is citizen
spies3Jordan: there aren't very many ways to convince someone that you're not a spy but I thought if anything might do it it would be that
spies3Jordan: and then people would want to talk and strategize with me
spies3Jordan: I guess it didn't work out as well as I hoped
spies3Tenchi: Self votes can also be a spy strategy ><
spies3Jordan: that's also true
spies3Tenchi: I know. Youre in my list for now.
spies3Jordan: but so can anything in this game
spies3Jordan: I'm sorry to hear that
spies3Tenchi: I know ><
spies3Tenchi: Sorry... Im just confused.
spies3Tenchi: But Im really looking into the inactives right now.
spies3Jordan: it's totally understandable it just sucks to see people waste their time on people who aren't spies
spies3Tenchi: I feel that the good Citizens are just killing each other.
spies3Jordan: I've pretty muched crossed you off my list though
spies3Jordan: I know and I hate that
spies3Tenchi: I still have to talk to matthew...
spies3Jordan: yeah you should PM him
spies3Jordan: he doesn't really use the AIM very much is seems
spies3Jordan: like me
spies3Tenchi: Ok.
spies3Tenchi: But Im worried if he's a spy, he'd get help making an answer.
spies3Jordan: making an answer? an answer for what?
spies3Tenchi: For the questions Im asking
spies3Tenchi: Im not making a damn PM to say "Hello!"
spies3Tenchi:
spies3Jordan: oh I see
spies3Jordan: that's a possibility I suppose
spies3Jordan: anyway, you seem to be very observant and I hope that if you ever feel that you can trust me that we can work together
spies3Tenchi: I hope so.
spies3Tenchi: Have you read the other posts in the Burg?
spies3Jordan: I'm reading Trina's thread now
spies3Jordan: could be a very interesting exile
spies3Tenchi: I know
spies3Tenchi: I want to vote because I really like Trina
spies3Tenchi: But she's telling me Brooks but I really think Brooks could be more of a dumb citizen.
spies3Jordan: indeed
spies3Jordan: what is the evidence for brooks?
spies3Tenchi: Well the biggest thing was the fact he ratted out Anneliese and just disappeared
spies3Tenchi: he never confirmed or denied anything
spies3Tenchi: he just let everyone kill each other off
spies3Jordan: that's something I suppose
spies3Tenchi: It worries me actually
spies3Jordan: but it's too blatent for my spy radar
spies3Jordan: I'm looking for moves that are more sublte
spies3Jordan: but still cause cinfusion or block the citizens
spies3Tenchi: I know.
spies3Tenchi: But Im not sos ure about that.
spies3Tenchi: Tell me what youre looking for.
spies3Tenchi: Or at least an example
spies3Jordan: ok just a sec sorry
spies3Jordan: ah you voted Judith
spies3Jordan: I'm strongy feeling that Carrie is a spy
spies3Jordan: have you read Matthew's post "Speaking My Mind"?
spies3Tenchi: MATTHEW
spies3Tenchi: SUCKS
spies3Tenchi: Its either he's a spy trying to be a citizen
spies3Tenchi: or he just plain sucks
spies3Tenchi: Judith, yeah
spies3Tenchi: I suspected her from day one
spies3Jordan: why does he suck?
spies3Jordan: oh really?
spies3Tenchi: plus the push for Jakub was totally fishy
spies3Jordan: I was confident that she was not a spy
spies3Tenchi: ><
spies3Tenchi: I know
spies3Tenchi: I regret it ><'
spies3Jordan: anyway, I'm looking at this thread
spies3Jordan: Matthew posts about how we need to get on track and really tries to rally the troops and get people focusing on spies
spies3Jordan: and Carrie's addition is an insult to his grammer...
spies3Tenchi: Well its just encouragement... ><
spies3Tenchi: LMAO!
spies3Jordan: it completely derailed what could have been a polarization
spies3Jordan: I haven't seen anything as suspicious as that to be honest
spies3Jordan: she completely defused something that could have gotten people together against the spies
spies3Jordan: the sad part is we were so close to getting rid of her in Exile 3
spies3Jordan: and then people seemed to ignore her (including myself)
spies3Tenchi: polarization?
spies3Tenchi: OoooO~~~
spies3Tenchi: I get it
spies3Tenchi: yeah ><
spies3Jordan: okay
spies3Tenchi: It seems suspicious that people suddenly dropped their suspicions of Carrie
spies3Tenchi: But I really think she is a Cit
spies3Tenchi: have you tried talking to her?
spies3Jordan: I have
spies3Jordan: and to be honest I've found her to be a TOTAL bitch
spies3Jordan: but I didn't think she was a spy just you know, a bitch
spies3Jordan: but now that opinion has changed
spies3Tenchi: Nitch ><
spies3Tenchi: Why have you have other eveidence?
spies3Jordan: well she was a big suspect just one exile ago
spies3Jordan: and it's truly a very spy thing in my mind
spies3Jordan: sublte, true to her character, yet possibly detrimental
spies3Jordan: she also apologized to him for it but did so in a PM
spies3Jordan: if she had apologized on the board people might have picked up the convo
spies3Tenchi: Apoligized to him?
spies3Jordan: said sorry to him
spies3Tenchi: him?
spies3Tenchi: Who's him?
spies3Jordan: Matthew
spies3Tenchi: Ohoh... *reads back*
spies3Tenchi: Sorry.
spies3Tenchi: Interesting.
spies3Tenchi: But the thing is
spies3Tenchi: when Carrie was in trouble
spies3Tenchi: bobody defended her
spies3Tenchi: *no
spies3Tenchi: which I find very "citizen-like"
spies3Jordan: ummm, I guess
spies3Jordan: I think she just layed low for a bit (somethat that was up on the spy jumble at the top of the burg) and people found other targets
spies3Jordan: anyway I gotta go
spies3Tenchi: Youre right
spies3Tenchi: although we still have to explore other leads.
spies3Tenchi: I just have nothing for her now.
spies3Tenchi: I will see you around
spies3Tenchi: and it was nice having to hear from you :-)
spies3Jordan: you as well
spies3Jordan: thanks for talking to me
spies3Tenchi: Its to be fair. :-)
