Day by Day Recap - Episode 1

[Judge Sam]

DAY 1 - May 6th

26 people checked into the game within the first 15 hours. 15 checked into the main game, where people began to know each other quickly. These 15 had a few friendly conversations before the live first meeting that night and got used to their surroundings. However it was difficult to find good conversation for some. Jennipher, Tenchi, Jessica, Judith, Jakub, and Reicheru seemed the most chatty.


Meanwhile, 11 players on a Secret Mission checked into their confessionals with instructions on their special role in the game. Their Secret Mission was to keep their existance a secret as they competed in various tasks. Each was only given the name of one different fellow member they had met as they returned to the Burg after the mass evacuation. One by one, they had to PM the people they knew, constantly adding new people to their list of contacts. It was a tough task but many completed it quickly, coming online 5-10 times a day to check their PM's for additional contact information.


Around the time of the live Exile, two "groups" of people were in contact with each other:

Taylor, Trina, Claire, Bruce

Bebe, Rapheal, Jordan, Matthew


These groups were seperate for most of day one.


Meanwhile, the main group of 15 attended their first live chat. They got to know each other by playing ice breaker games, as well as hearing a few announcements. The first leaderboard was posted and roles were announced. It went eerily quiet as these roles were given:

The Builder - Anneliese
The Inheritor - Miles
The Decision Maker - Shane

Spy - Tenchi
Spy - Jessica


Some people continued chatting, but it was difficult to find out anything new.

(apologies for slightly inaccurate statements and lack of details from Week 1, I've forgotten them.)

Day 2 - May 7th


The day before the first Imprisonment. More people continued to talk to each other and try and feel each other out. Jennipher became an early star of Episode 1. On the first day she had been online and chatty with everyone. She had begun to make a lot of friends and talk to a lot of people.


Jessica created a super-bold plan on Day 2 which involved confessing to Miles that she was a Spy. Basically she would claim to be in a "Lovers role." Two people in a Lovers role are connected: if one dies, the other dies. A complicated plan would protect Jessica even if Miles told everyone she was a Spy.


I really thought this would happen, Jessica seemed really gung-ho about it lol. I gently advised her to get to know people better before she did this but she seemed intent on it anyway. Jessica: "As I am sure you will be pleased to know, the plan is to take affect on day 3 or 4, so I will be playing it safe and simply doing set-up until then."


Tenchi and Jessica are really active and make lots of plots and plans and voice their opinions openly. It's an effective strategy.


Meanwhile, the circle is beginning to become complete for members of the Secret Mission. Audrey meets Taylor, which causes the two groups to come together and that night all 11 players become known to most people. They begin to chat a little, but not too much. Some are quiet, including Brooks, Matthew, Claire, and Sujata. The talkative ones are Bebe, Bruce, Raphael, Taylor, and Trina.


Some people decide Jack is super suspicious and want him out. There was a point where I was sure he was going to be the first Exiled due to him falling for Jessica's "Imagine Trap" in which she used the word Imagine in an ambiguous way to "catch" people who had talken to him/her.


Anneliese divulges her Builder role to Jennipher - on the night she learns of it! This really really surprised me, who tells their role on Day 2? lol. But she gives Jennipher a fake password that won't work if she posts it, which she doesn't.

Day 3 - May 8th


It's imprison time for the Burg, and everyone is on edge. Anneliese begins to suspect Jennipher: "When I was divulging the information about my secret ability, she said "Oh... a Citizen's Secret Ability." That immediately confused me, as if she knew there would be abilities of another sort, or as if I posed a threat to her."


Anneliese, Jack, Tenchi, and others begin to suspect Jennipher seriously. Some plan to oust her at Exile.


Anneliese divulges her Builder role to Tenchi, Jack, and Reicheru and gives them full information. She asks them all to post the word, only Reicheru does. Tenchi successfully tricks Anneliese into believing he posted the word, meaning Anneliese believes him to be a Citizen. Anneliese herself is beginning to be believed as a Citizen due to her role.


Imagine is Imprisoned, and everybody begins to plot and plan for the upcoming Exile. I forget what happened exactly at this part.


Day 3 was a slow day for Secret Missioners. Some got caught up on PM'ing people they hadn't talked much with. Everyone was informed that a special event was to take place tomorrow.

Day 4 - May 9th


Exile day. Jennipher is suspected. Jennipher begins to suspect Tenchi because he is pushing for Jennipher so hard. A bunch of people (not exactly sure who) begin to push for Jakub, who is seen as silent, unhelpful, and suspiciously quiet. The Exile approaches and people are online for hours trying to decide on someone. Many many random votes are counted, as some people are in the loop and some are not. In the end a voting block including Leena, Jessica, Judith, and others decided to vote for Jakub, thinking he was an unhelpful Citizen if not a Spy.



Meanwhile, the Secret Mission group get their next task. They must solve a series of puzzles to get their AIM password so they can talk to each other on AIM. Each is given a piece of an incredibly complex puzzle, only when they gather all the pieces together can they solve it. If each of them only shared the relevant parts to other people it'd be complicated, but that had problems so I decided to let everybody share everything. That made it easier for one person to solve.


After a loooooong exile, Tyler and Jakub were tied for votes. It went to the first revote. After a tense 18 minute discussion in which Jakub entered the chat, the revote was 7-5 against Jakub. Many conflicts and theories arose due to this revote, too numerous to list here. A main one was Carrie's revote against Jakub, some found that suspicious.


I'm not exactly sure what else surrounded this Exile, you can fill in the blanks for me. Jennipher was the only one to vote against a Spy when she voted for Tenchi.
