Touched By a Gertrude - Episode 1

[Gertrude]

So, I'm not Steve, but I aspire to be him. So, I made this gorgeous banner for my confessionals! You know you love it. Or, you should, because it's probably what I'm spending the majority of my confessional-writing time on tonight. So, by all means, appreciate my sexy banner of ferociousness.

So in case my shoving it down your throat with that title of this or the banner, I'm the Angel! I get to like.. possibly save people from Imprisonment as long as I don't receive votes at an exile. And then, if I'm still not getting votes, I get to save more and more people. Pretty badass, no? It is. Moving along.

The game started today! That was exciting. It was definitely a little overwhelming at first, as Jenny (or Savannah [or... someone else?]) raped me with IMs as soon as I got on. My butt's still a little sore from that, to be honest.

Instantly (and I know you don't want to hear about all this, so I'm only saying it once) I knew that Rondak was Aaron. I knew it before the game started, when the "Meet the player of Spies 8" thread was up. So, I initiated a conversation with him, which you'll find. He's gonna be a riot if he makes it far in this game. Definitely a funny character. Then, your highness came into the chat, and we did as he obeyed. I learned that I was a citizen (booooo. I QUIT.) but then LATER learned that, lo and behold (oh god, I'm so punny) . I flap around and do super cool shit. You know how I is!

Anyways, I really feel like I'm rambling because I'm not sure what it is I'm supposed to be doing right now. Tonight was definitely the honeymoon stage of the game. We played some mini mafia in the chat and seriously-in-need-of-a-few-bottles-of-Prozac Mary and I were mafia partners. We owned. Not shocking. I feel like it may have put some suspicion on me, as some people saw me do well (especially Chance, which is why I included that conversation) and that seed of Spydom should hopefully be in their brains? I DON'T KNOW. Anyways, I talked to Cory a bit too. That's in the chat log as well. He was the first person I talked straight up strategy to, so that was cool/interesting. It seems different than Survivor, because if you suspect somebody, it's not really betrayal. It... just... is what it is? Maybe?! Dear Lord (another pun), I need some help, or else we're gonna end up with our Paradise Lost.


Anyone? John Milton? No? FINE. The Gerty in me is depressed.
Xoxo, Bnelz

Also this smiley kinda cute but tragic. What a great combination.

[Gertrude]

So, unfortunately, I'm writing this confessional in hindsight. I apologize.

In better news, I am officially a student at Radford University! Now Vlad (Julia?) can come play Magic the Gathering with me.



So, Camilla was Exiled. I voted for her. I legitimately thought she was a Spy. Turns out she wasn't. She ended up not voting anyways, so.. She butchered herself out of the game.

I love Cinnamyn. I think she's great to have around and

IMPRISONMENT IS HAPPENING. I WILL FINISH AFTER D:

[Judge Sam]

That's really cool! Are you taking summer classes, or just preparing for the fall? I'll be going to Indiana University in the fall maybe I should get started preparing haha.


I really like your angel image. =) very cool!


it's great that you're getting so involved in the game and already so much has happened to you. be sure to update me with your thoughts regarding the bribe and masons! I read your conversation with chance, thanks for posting it.


really enjoying having you play can't wait to see what's in store for everyone's favorite red-headed reader.

[Gertrude]

I'm going to be there in the fall.

And for sure I'll be covering the bribe and the masons, but that comes in episode 2, silly pants.

And I'm really sorry I haven't posted much in terms of who I think is Spylicious but I'm working on that now... FROM MY NEW SHINY LAPTOP THAT CAME IN TODAY.

Of course, my wisdom teeth were cut out of my face this morning, but still. LAPTOP.

[Gertrude]

So, let me post what I thought of everyone by the end of Episode 1.

Awohali - He strikes me as very organized and intelligent. I got a town reading from him, but that could only be because he is productive. I realize it's a Spy's job to look like town, so he could very well be one. For now, though, he's useful and observant.

Broderick - He really is kinda boring. But, he tries hard to scumhunt, and I appreciate that. He seems like the kind of person who might tunnelvision (is that the phrase?) on someone else.

Chance - Personally enjoy him a lot. He was definitely high on my scumdar though because of his plan he brought up to me on the second day. He wanted to essentially "trade votes" so neither of us would be Imprisoned. It just reeked of me of a role. Turns out that was right.

Cinnamyn - As I was beginning to say, I love her. She's quite intelligent and inquisitive, but stays behind that mask of almost illiteracy. In theory, my character should hate her. But, I can't. She's great to have around, was my prediction for being Imprisoned on the Democrats.

Claude - For someone who says they only play logically, this guy really plays emotionally. He made himself unnecessarily visible, which actually makes me think he's town.

Cory - For a self-proclaimed douche, I actually enjoy Cory's company. However, I get a weird vibe from him when we're in group chats.

Isaac - At this point, I think Isaac is a Spy. His additions to the chat one night were very Camilla-esque, adding something every five minutes or so, in complete agreement with someone else. Most of his comments seemed unnecessary and unprovoked, as well, as if he was just looking for something to comment on to show he was being helpful.

Jasmine - Jasmine is nice, and I really like her. I got town reads from her this Episode, but was kind of bothered the way her and Cinnamyn had the same thoughts on most topics.

Lawrence - I don't know much about him, to be quite honest.

Lilith - AWOL.

Magalie - She's crazy. Plus, she ruined my angel powers. So, I hate her. I pretend that I like her, but I want to Exile her so she doesn't ruin my role again.

Margot - Hello, scum version of me. How are you today?

Mary - I adore Mary. I cannot put into words how hilarious she is. Also, I think she's town at this point.


Scum List:
1. Camilla
2. Margot
3. Isaac

Town List:
1. Cinnamyn
2. Claude
3. Chance


Thus ends Episode 1.

[Magalie]

To be honest I did just randomly pick you that day because was my graduation was also that day. I thought I had to post who I suspected or I was just going to be known as dead weight throughout the game, which I turned out to be. When I got back and one question was asked only rephrased to make it seem like a million questions. I tried this trick a million times by being the person to start the shit with nothing and then have not trace of being involved but it didn't work out that way this time around.


Does that clear that mess up for you guys?

This is one of the only times in my life that I have been called "organized", so I just want to say......:





Thanks!

[Chance]

I don't see one Dew can in that picture, Trey. What is the world coming to?!

[Gertrude]

I meant your thinking seemed organized, ha. But, I'm 3 days into dorm life, and this is my desk:

I know!! I'm off soda pretty much permanently these days :/ Every now and then I'll have one on a game day where I'm essentially working 17 or 18 hours in a day, but other than that no Dew for this Mofo :/

Haha, NICE! I definitely approve ; D I finally cleaned my desk in my classroom today because I had started losing stuff literally every class period... I found all sorts of papers that I thought were long gone :/
