BEST SPY

[Tenchi]

Every spy had their unique strategy.

But clearly, who did the best acting?

Who was so well hidden?

Who was the friendliest?

Who was the most persuasive?

Who was the most snaky and elusive?

Who was the most trusted in the Citizens?

And who executed the best strategies to undermine the citizens?

[Jack]

Well hidden: Tenchi
Friendliest: Bebe
Persuasive: Bebe
Elusive : Raphael/Claire
Trusted : Tough call

Best Strategies : Can't single anyone out there.

[Carrie]

I think Bebe did the most damage while Raphael was easily the most elusive.

[Trina]

Well Hidden: Raphael
Friendliest: Bebe
Persuasive: Bebe
Elusive: Claire
Trusted: Bebe (for me)

Mine's pretty much along the same lines as Jack. I think everyone each played well.

I trusted Bebe a whole lot since the beginning of the game but I've started suspecting her as time went on. Via PM to Taylor, I asked her not to give gifts to Bebe but the weird thing is, I admit these things to Bebe so I start to gain trust for her again. Once Episode 5 hit , Bebe really hit on my spy radar as well as Claire and somewhat Jessica. Bebe waivered on the vote and Claire kept asking me if she could vote Anneliese and I told her no lol. So because Claire asked me, it made me feel that the spies did something to control the vote for Anneliese. Jessica was somewhat suspciious. I threatened her and did think about using it on her and since Jack/Reicheru threw her under the bus that round, and I was suspicious of Jack, I was really confused altogether. Tenchi I suspected early on but began to trust him as the game went on. Raphael wasn't on when I was on so I didn't really think he was a spy. Simply it.

[Tenchi]

BTW: It was Bebe who also tipped me off to go to you when I was on the outs of Jack's alliance. She said I have "something to clean up". It turns out the Gift Giver/Counteragent thing didn't really do well on your book. ><

[Reicheru]

The best spies are the most aggressive. I think all five spies rocked it, but I think Tenchi was in a different league to the rest. You should see my confessionals about him - time and time again I question him, "is he a spy?" and time and time again he seems to do something that once again puts him out of the running.

I think his biggest - perhaps his ONLY - mistake was targeting Jack, because I didn't buy that for a second! (Nor did I buy Jessisa.) But by then it was far too late.

Jessica comes second because she was so good in the opening half of the game, even if I suspected her highly later on. I don't think she's QUITE in the same league as Tenchi because she made early mistakes - voting for Jakub (I honestly think both spies should've gone for Tyler just because it was SO OBVIOUS a spy would vote for Jakub anyway), disappearing for a while when the "bunker" controversy was going on. But in the end, they didn't hurt her, so kudos!

The new spies... I can't get over how much Bebe got people to reveal to her. That was awesome in my book. Claire and Raphael played a much tighter, under-the-radar game, but Claire especially put me right off the scent when I said I thought Bebe and Tenchi were citizens, and she disagreed. Little things like that can do you the world of good, and I was STILL suspecting Arthur at the end because of it. (I find it quite funny that so many spies seem to have done things that I recommended future spies do in Spies 2, and the original 3 spies in Spies 1 didn't!) Raph... I think he came closest to giving the game away, despite being the least active. But in the end, you survived and you won, so kudos to you too.

In short, well done to the lot of you, you did an outstanding job.

[Tenchi]

I realized voting Jack was dumb when we got the vote count ><

I mean, I can vote Bebe and STILL exile Jack. It could have lessened suspicion on me. But of course, I was SO TEMPTED to exile such a strong citizen, so yeah I did it anyway.

For me Raph was most magical. He was first to know Miles was the Inheritor and he was also given by Shane the Decision Making power.

And coming from Tyson, I'm honored.

[Judge Sam]

I doubt I could even pick 3 of the best spies. Every single one was magnificent in their chosen strategy and was incredibly effective towards achieving goals for the Spies. Every single one, every single episode.

[Jessica]

I voted for myself, lol. Had I not accidentally broken the bunker despite getting Jenn to post the word for me, that would have been an epic accomplishment, but oh well.

I think we all played our part amazingly. Bebe, Tenchi, and I were all very aggressive. Claire was friendly and kind, and definately pulled our asses out of the fire in the final exile. Raphael played the UTR spy perfect. Too quiet to attract much attention, yet active enough to not be maligned for his silence.

As for the poll, I think poll's like these are unfair. Everyone always hypes the aggressive spies while the silent heroes like Claire and Raphael don't get the recognition they deserve.

I'll play after the game like I did in the game. We won together, we lost together. We weren't 5 separate players, we were one, well-oiled, machine.

[Tenchi]

Yeah... My friend also pointed out the poll was dumb.

Everybody had their shining moment. Claire's was one of the best since she did her worst damage at the LAST and MOST IMPORTANT EPISODE.

[Claire]

You have to lay utr until you have to strike at the right moment :-d

[Raphael]

HAHA, yes, we all were great. I loved every single one of my fellow spies (even though some of them got on my nerves a couple of times). And during the final minutes leading up to when the votes were due and when exile began really showed how we were truly a team. We stuck together in the end to pull a win and there was even plenty of times during that hour that we thought Bruce had played us. This is when the true team showed because we all knew and agreed that we either win together or we loose together. My biggest props of the game have to go to Claire for pulling through with Bruce.

[Bebe]

Good point Jessica and Raphael. I really can't wait to see everyone's confessionals though and find out which of our strategies worked and which didn't. I know I'm in for quite a few surprises.

I think I took the cake for being the most annoying Spy ever. >< We're all going to see that soon enough...

[Claire]

No love for me?

[Bruce]

Claire needs some spy loving! ...In a non-perverted sort of way!!

[Raphael]

Well one of the things that got on my nerves the most was when I would ask someone a question and they would just say "read it in the burg" or "read it in HQ". I mean, couldn't a summerization have been said. I know one time Claire said it to me and it set me off but I didn't say anything to any one, but I did write it in my confessional, but I don't think I used names.

[Tenchi]

Erk... probably because I said the same things to Claire too. ><

[Claire]

yes and it t'd me off so if i had to read the crap i didn't want to read i was making raphael as well! mwhahaha

[Tenchi]

It probably the fact that nobody wants to type anything that has been typed before ><

I HATE TYPING.

[Reicheru]

I don't!

(BTW - that's one post made tonight without either 1) pissing someone off or 2) insulting them. I might try and go for two...)

[Reicheru]

Oh, and since he doesn't seem to be getting much love here, props to Raphael for being the only spy to never pick up a single vote, except a single penalty self-vote from the Gift Giver. That's impressive.

[Tenchi]

Uhuh... he was going to be the last spy standing in any case.

Played perfect UTR!

And yeah, I wish Tyson typed more in detail back then, so I had more things to review.
