Episode 5 Critiques

Broderick:

I shall demonstrate with smileys. When you feel like you've caught someone, you act like this: and everyone else resembles this: . Chill out when interrogating someone. Give them time to answer one of your questions, and try your hardest not to misinterpret what they're saying to make them sound bad just because they're one of your suspects. It just makes you look like you're grasping at straws. Relax about the activity of the group chat. The natural flow of conversation comes and goes like the tide. A lull in the chat isn't the end of the world nor the victory of the Spies.

Try not to do this:



Finally, try being pleasant. In a perfect Spies world, pleasantries wouldn't be needed, but I think people would be more informative when answering your questions if they held a higher opinion of you.

If you're a Citizen, please heed all of the advice I just gave you. If you're a Spy, please ignore it and continue what you're doing. I hope this helps, and if not, I may take you up on your offer to

SUCK YOUR COCK.

Claude:

Open your mind. I hope Magalie flipping Spy will make you realize that such absolutes as the ones you've been holding on to aren't absolute at all. You're a smart guy. Use your intelligence to see that there are shades of gray in every situation. Arguing for or against someone is fine, just be sure keep the possibility in mind that you may in fact be wrong about something you're so sure of. It may difficult to accept that, but I'm sure it will be a humbling and rewarding experience when you try.

I'd urge you to open up more to the other players; you might find you have more fun that way. The object of the game (for Citizens, at least) is yes, to find and catch the Spies, but that doesn't mean you can't have a little fun just meeting other people and delving into their characters.

I think you're great, Claude. You're more fun and interesting than people think because all you're known for is fighting with and being sure about Chance. Don't be the guy who tunnels on someone. As much as you may think that BUTHAYNA IS A SPYYYYYYY, she very well may not be.

Jenny:

I think you need to be a bit more proactive. You've shown you're adept at Mafia and at the very least, a veteran to Spies. Why are you so unproductive? I'm new and have posted at least a case on someone. Please start telling people who you believe the Spies are rather than who they aren't.

Inviting people to the chats and posting the chat logs is great, but it's not really productive in the big scheme of catching Spies if you don't do anything with the logs you claim to scour over. One thing I like about you, though, is that you stay civil, despite being under fire from illogical or unruly people. I appreciate that. Being tunneled by someone is a frustrating process, I know, and I can only imagine how having Hambone on your case 24/7 makes you feel. So, thanks for the restraint.

I'd also request that you think of something else to start conversations with than "So what are you thinking? "

I hope this helps!

Lawrence:



Please come back so we can get rid of you.

Chance:

I believe Spies are continuously trying to get you mislynched. If I was you and if you are a Citizen, I would keep my eye on Stephanie, as her vote for you seems to be out of left field and forced. I would ask her to publicly announce exactly what information she was seeking to attain from your Exile, because (at least to me), it seemed very odd.

At the same, time, though, if you're a Citizen, I would try to lay low a bit. Or you could keep charging ahead to prove your townhood. I'm not sure what would be best for you, considering the majority of the Burg seems to have a vendetta against you. I think it looks good for you that Magalie flipped as a Spy.

Keep barely surviving! I think it's adorable that you're the Buthayna of Spies 8. Just keep in mind that Julia was a Citizen, too.
