Episode 9 - Confessionals

[Owen]

Wishful thinking.

[Owen]

^ See that? Warped. Like my twisted mind. It's also red and black. I'm so fucking goth.

I blame this all on Awohali.

As a side note, I was taking a dump after the lynch (which pretty much sums up my thoughts on how everything went tonight) and noticed both a moth and a fly in my bathroom. Later, I noticed another bug that was stuck to my wall, but I couldn't figure out what kind of bug it was. It looked like a moth with fly qualities. Now I'm stuck thinking that said moth and fly fucked in my bathroom, perhaps while I was taking a dump. Much like my feelings of this game, I feel confused and violated.

And I just realized my confessional image also looks kind of like a razor blade. XWRISTS. So goth.

Fuck you, Awo. Sorry, Jenny.

[Owen]

Owen: What were your first thoughts on becoming dictator? If you had to do it over again, would you want to be dictator?

First thoughts? "Holy shit." After getting over the initial shock of everything, I was happy that I had the power since I obviously trust my own intentions more than others, but stressed at the same time because we hadn't caught a spy since Epi 1 and it seemed like everything was riding on my shoulders.

If I had to do it all over again... I would be completely fine with second highest vote getter, Tina, getting the power. We thought very similarly and I think she would have likely made the same decisions that I did. At the same time, I'd still be happy with getting the power because we managed to catch 2 spies in a row. If I had to change anything about it, I would try stressing out about it less.

Owen, Jas, Claude, Dane, Hammy - When I do come up cit, what will that change on your thoughts with everyone?

>_>

It's made me change my thoughts, as for the past few days I had been looking at you and all of your possible connections. It's no question that this really blew a lot of my theories out the window.

Everyone really - How in blazes does it make sense for Kitty to be a spy pair with me? Most obvious bussing situation ever anybody? All she'd have to do is say Hali had a role, I get revealed as a spy, and everyone cheers her for proving Hali's role, whether it was in fact real or not.

As I've said before, if she was bussing you, she still had a reason to lie about Awohali not having a role since people were questioning the amount of town roles. Without Awohali having a role, there would be one less role out there, making others think that hers was more likely to be legit.

Time to reassess that one.

Everyone:
1) What is your idea of a "perfect" or "power" citizen?
2) What is your idea of a "perfect" spy?

1. The perfect citizen - Someone that is actively hunting, as the main goal for the town is to find the spies. Someone that is approachable, as the more town players that are working together, the easier it is to hunt. Someone that is adaptable and can keep an open mind, as tunneling and only focusing on just one thing for a long amount of time will get you nowhere. Voting record has importance, but I think the first three have more merit.

2. The perfect spy - The ones that are transparent, so I can easily catch them. Or ones that ride around in a white van and have paint on their faces -- heard they're pretty good.

But really, the best spies are the ones that are engaging. Nothing worse than a spy that gets by on doing nothing.

1) What makes you a spy?
2) How often do you wash your feet?

1. Tough one, considering I know my alignment and know I've been sincere.

With the proverbial gun to my head, I'll say that I'm a spy because of my lack of participation on the boards/chats in comparison to how many spies I've helped catch. So scummy.

Yeah, actually the best I could come up with. I actually made a spoof post in my confessional of "How Owen Did It" to show the complete absurdity I feel when people think I'm a spy from my perspective.

2. Unless I'm jumping around in feces barefoot or am going on a date with a foot fetishist, which has never happened, I don't really make it a point to wash my feet. Dripping/accumulating dirty water takes care of that in the shower.

Foot fetishists scare me almost as much as AIDS though, so everyone be know that my feet are horrible. Even though you can clearly see in my sig that they are wonderful.

Owen, who are the four remaining Spies and why?

Before Jenny's town flip, I would have had a much easier time answering this. As a reference, this is similar to Spies 7 when both Harold and Tracy (two people that were heavily suspected) flipped town back to back -- causing mostly everyone to reassess everything.

Since I'm completely unsure of where to even go from here, I'll give you my thoughts before everything went down tonight. Jenny, Kiara, Dane, Cinnamyn were my top 4.

Jenny - Someone I suspected early on for playstyle -- not being as forward/taking as many stances as you'd think someone that appeared to be experienced would. Slightly dropped for a while, but was still someone that was in the back of my mind. After the Awohali claim, I was pretty certain she was scum.

Kiara - Suspected and was going to vote her Exile 6 before her roleclaim. Appeared to me to be lying about Awohali being roleless.

Dane - Jenny, who rarely took stances, took one on Dane. She would constantly defend him to me whenever he was brought up. There were points where it seemed like she was TRYING to make herself seem connected to Dane, which threw me off a bit & would fall in line with the WIFOM I believe the spies have used.

Cinnamyn - Made an off comment to Broderick about Kiara using her role on Jenny to clear her. Could have been a screw-up with words/names, but it didn't sit right with me. Also, admittedly some gut here. For clarification: my gut, not hers.

I'd be fine answering this to you at a later time if I'm still around. Need to reassess everything.

owen - i never really learned, why did you select mary to be the first person to get her vote back? do you still agree with that decision?

In the short amount of time I had to pick, Tina and I had a conversation where we both agreed that if she got her vote back at the time, it was more likely that she would be imprisoned right then. This is why I asked in the chat before my decision if the person I selected would be immune from imprisonment. I also talked it over with Cory, who was the other person I trusted most at the time. We didn't want to make it too obvious that I trusted him at the time because it could give the impression to the spies that I knew more about Cory than what met the eye.

There was a consensus between the three of us that Mary would be a good choice. From my conversations with her leading up to the Isaac lynch, to me, she was the strongest on Isaac aside from Claude. However, picking Claude wasn't really an option since he could have possibly used his role on me and would have been essentially making himself a dictator.

I think it was a fine decision, Tina didn't get imprisoned that round and I didn't out Cory as the doctor. It doesn't seem like it's negatively effected us in any way. Have I had doubts about Mary since? Sure, but it doesn't appear to have caused any harm to the town.

[Owen]

So, the town is all kinds of fucked. And really, I'm not going to over-stress about it. I'm content with how I've done given the circumstances. I'm going to play the game until the very end, but I don't feel the weight of the world on my shoulders. If I get lynched, I think that's on them. Like I said from the beginning, I am the Hank of this game. If all of the people I trusted had not been imprisoned, there's no way I'd ever be in this situation. Well, actually, I'd probably be dead instead. WHATEVA.

Point is, I'm content. I've wanted the town to win this really badly, but it's not the end of the world if we don't.

But yeah, if they imprison me, that'd be radical. Not going to happen, but totes rad if it did. Will episode 9 be the death of me again?

[Owen]

Uhh, too many people are piling onto Jasmine for my liking. I don't have a good feeling about this at all.

Doesn't have me fooled, but unfortunately I don't have the support to get anything done. That's what happens when you kill everyone that trusts me and get me discredited (somehow, even though NOBODY has presented anything solid against me). Good job, spies.

[Owen]

No scumdar, shit hasn't been pinging right. Just a straight up list, ya dig?

Mary: Made it clear that she would be okay with voting Magalie, yet went psychotic when we wouldn't vote for Chance that round. The way the two of us have stopped talking almost completely leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Lot of gut here, but I feel like there's something there. I still think that she's responsible for Cory's death.

Cinnamyn: If Mary isn't scum, I'll bank that Cinnamyn is. One of the two, if not both, is scummin' it up. Cinnamyn actually comes off more genuine, but that may be because Mary doesn't share much (if any) of her suspicions. I think Broderick's case on her has some valid points.

Lawrence: Now, don't hate me Sam, but there are some meta reasons for this one. Blame him for being stupid enough to tell me who originally played him, as if it had anything to do with the conversation when he brought it up. Stupid. Anyway, other than the meta that you will not blame me for, he sure flipped on Jasmine awfully quick after wanting her to get her vote back previously. Others have also been getting a slightly scummy vibe from him recently, too. Then there's the fact that he wasn't Izzie'd out of the game at a point where it made complete sense for him to just be ejected. A spy isn't going to be ejected.

Dane: Still don't think he's really done jack shit since Episode 1 since being "cleared" by Alexei. Still all the WIFOM theories.

Kiara: Still something about her I don't trust at all. See my exile 6 vote reasoning.

Hambone: Has tunneled on one person the entire game, she came up town. He made a post stating that if I'm alive in two rounds, he'll be voting me. Great excuse if he's a spy setting me up for the last lynch, which I do believe is the case.

There's still a chance that Broderick is scum despite him being one of the only people I've been trusting lately. Stephanie could be an amazing actress, and if so, she completely deserves to win this.

Claude and Chance aren't scum. I get the feeling Jasmine is being set up as an easy mislynch, though she's far from a sure thing as town. Seems more new than anything.

Even though I've thought they've been setting me up for a late exile, I do think there's a chance that I'm imprisoned right now. That's not even wishful thinking at the moment, it's a legitimate possibility. If Stephanie dies and they still try to lynch me after this, there's even less competence around here than I thought.

[Owen]

Steph PMed me and says she thinks it's going to be her. Unfortunately, me too, dear. Here's to hoping that both of us are wrong and it's me instead. Again Sam, that's of no disrespect to you, I know how much work hosting takes. My time has been up for a while now. Fucking spies.

Anyway, Steph believes that Claude's role might need some kind of activation to be used... and it's actually something that I've never considered. If Claude is scum, the guy has played all of this flawlessly. Though if that's the case, he should be praising Isaac for dropping that vote on him exile 1. Anyway, I need to follow up on that and at least question Claude.

Also, my blood sugars have been LOW (as in too low) now. What a joke.

Oh, and Jeff Francouer walked on 4 pitches last night. That gives me some hope that we could catch another spy or two before I go out.

Also, I'm eating white cheddar popcorn and the kernel pieces keep getting stuck in the back of my throat. Awesome.

Lastly, I only got 4 hours of sleep despite only getting 3 or 4 the night before. Shit is whack.

[Owen]

YOUR FACE HAS BEEN PUSHED BACK TO 10PM CENTRAL.

WHACK.

[Owen]

This game is an emotional fucking rollercoaster. I spent a portion of the game wanting Broderick to die, and now that it's happened, it was the worst thing that could happen. I actually would have preferred Steph went over him. I think he was on the right track and was capable of making pushes.

I'll... miss him. Whoa. Yep, I said it.

Cinnamyn is a spy.

[Owen]

Dearest Spies 8 citizens,

Please put two and two together and realize that all of my supporters have been eliminated. It's clear what's happening here, yet you all don't see it. OPEN YOUR FUCKING EYES.

Love,

Owen

[Owen]

Cinnamyn
Mary/Kiara
Lawrence
Dane/Rondak

^ Spies.

[Owen]

I love how I'm on a few peoples spy pairs list as a "long shot."

There's a reason I'm a long shot, people. It's not fucking happening. My lord.

[Owen]

Lawrence is a spy. Will I ever get the backing? No.

This game just needs to end already.

[Owen]

Spies8Pubebeard still in full effect.

Spies8Mullet has joined the party.





1. It's a fixer upper, I know, but once I shape my pubebeard up and fix up the loose hairs, it will be beautiful.

2. I chose to censor my body, as the sight of my moobs and extremely seductive happy trail might just be too much excitement for one to handle.

3. I'm thinking about shaving a dollar bill onto both sides. Or a dolla bill on one side, star of David on the other.

4. Considering joining the rodeo.

5. Need a pair of overalls ASAP.

6. Benjamin Franklin is my inspiration.

7. Completely shitting you. My clippers broke mid-cut and until my sister brought hers over I was stuck with a mullet. It's unfortunately already gone. It brought me such happiness for the 2 hours I had it.

RIP Spies8Mullet. I shall be joining you soon.

[Owen]

I just completely poured my heart out to the Burg. Well, not really, I was feeling VERY VENOMOUS AND VERY ANGRY. /Nikki

But yeah, everything I said was completely true. Last time around I lied about things as town and had to get ambushed by a group change. This time I'm completely honest and genuine with everything and people think I'm some kind of epicscum. "Outside chance." Damn fucking straight. It's a little too far outside if you piece things together.

Win or lose, I don't want to be mislynched. It would just feel absolutely ridiculous this time around. At the same time, would just go to show you that I didn't have much to work with as far as competent town players are concerned. Killed 'em all, not even softly like the Fugees.

One tiiiiiiime.

Also, my reason for accusing Lawrence is completely to shake him up. Figure if he's someone that I think could be a spy, which I'm definitely leaning towards, I need to shake him up in the way they've shaken me up round after round by getting rid of my allies. I can't believe he'd make himself so damn obvious. Sam really must have been desperate to replace Lawrence if he took in who I think it is... Why weren't you Izzie'd? Why would you make yourself so obvious? Oh lordy.

[Owen]

Dear Jesus,

I hit innocent flocks of citizens these days. I admit I wasn't using my noodle. Shame on me. Please lavish my unclean body with your baby oil of truth.

[Owen]

Lawdizzle changed his vote from Claude to Cinnamyn because of a point that I brought up. Before that, Cinnamyn was not even in his top 4. Bus bus baby?

[Owen]

(9:34:30 PM) spies8chance: owen, is there any way i can convince you to change from cinnamyn to rondak?
(9:36:03 PM) spies8owen: I feel good about voting Cinnamyn, so I'm not sure.
(9:36:11 PM) spies8owen: I'm not exactly sold on Rondak being town though, so it's a possibility.
(9:37:29 PM) spies8chance: rondak is entirely more suspicious than cinnamyn right now.
(9:37:33 PM) spies8chance: his 'case' and the timing of it are atrocious.
(9:37:58 PM) spies8chance: he's done nothing but bandwagon all game, and the first time he pushes for someone it just happens to be on the one person whom most of the burg suspects? yeah, no.
(9:38:04 PM) spies8owen: The timing of Cin on Awo seems suspect too. She dropped him, then brought him back up with a case.
(9:38:18 PM) spies8chance: his reasons for voting me episode six were equally as bandwagony. plus they changed like three times.
(9:38:22 PM) spies8chance: i brought up a case on awohali as well.
(9:38:33 PM) spies8owen: You never dropped him though.
(9:38:36 PM) spies8owen: Cin did.
(9:39:07 PM) spies8owen: Mary's latest post looks really bad for BOTH of them.
(9:39:22 PM) spies8chance: looks worse for rondak, two to one.
(9:39:31 PM) spies8chance: and i'm not saying that cinnamyn isn't a spy if rondak is.
(9:39:38 PM) spies8chance: but we have exactly two exiles remaining before the spies match us in number.
(9:39:48 PM) spies8chance: i definitely think rondak is more likely a spy.
(9:39:54 PM) spies8owen: If Jasmine is town, 2 more mislynches and it's lights out for us.
(9:39:56 PM) spies8chance: plus, all three of my top suspects who can vote are on cinnamyn.
(9:40:01 PM) spies8chance: i find that to be suspicious in and of itself.
(9:40:02 PM) spies8owen: And I do think Jasmine is town. Leaning that way, at least.
(9:40:32 PM) spies8owen: Who is your top 3? Rondak, Claude, ____?
(9:40:39 PM) spies8chance: kiara.
(9:40:42 PM) spies8owen: Ahh.
(9:40:48 PM) spies8owen: She took some convincing to get off Claude.
(9:40:53 PM) spies8chance: she actually defended rondak to me today.
(9:41:02 PM) spies8owen: Lawrence has been pinging for me a bit lately.
(9:41:12 PM) spies8owen: He was so for Jasmine getting her vote back and then once it turned, so did he.
(9:41:45 PM) spies8owen: I have no real defense of Rondak other than the fact that I think he's a n00b.
(9:41:59 PM) spies8owen: And a lot of things Gert had on him are things that he asked me earlier on.
(9:42:03 PM) spies8owen: Like the spies having their own boards, etc.
(9:42:38 PM) spies8chance: in the same conversation that she mentioned rondak was her #2
(9:42:43 PM) spies8chance: holy bejesus lag.
(9:42:55 PM) spies8chance: i'm not basing my suspicion of rondak off gertie's case.
(9:43:02 PM) spies8chance: and i apparently convinced lawrence to switch to impeaching jasmine.
(9:43:14 PM) spies8chance: and if rondak is a noob and i don't think he is, that case was not made by him.
(9:43:22 PM) spies8chance: i think it's possible his spy buddies helped him with it.
(9:43:58 PM) spies8owen: It was a good thought, but I don't think it indicated experience.
(9:44:49 PM) spies8chance: the content, maybe not, but the format?
(9:45:16 PM) spies8chance: in any case i don't think rondak is a noob and even if he is it doesn't excuse him from being a spy.
(9:45:26 PM) spies8chance: even if he is a noob, his spy buddies could easily have advised him to play that up.
(9:45:38 PM) spies8owen: Definitely not. I just have a stronger feeling on Cin.
(9:46:27 PM) spies8chance: bah.
(9:46:55 PM) spies8owen: How are the votes looking right now anyway?
(9:47:03 PM) spies8owen: Seems to me like Rondak may be going either way.
(9:48:18 PM) spies8chance: with cinnamyn and jasmine unable to vote it's currently six - three in favor of cinnamyn with stephanie undecided.
(10:01:12 PM) spies8chance: speaking of exile immunity...
(10:01:27 PM) spies8chance: do you want to vote for me? cinnamyn's being exiled anyway and mary said she might but isn't answering me.
(10:08:12 PM) spies8owen: Risky, since I really do think Cin is a spy and things could always change if I throw a vote.
(10:08:20 PM) spies8owen: Who would you want to make immune?
(10:08:39 PM) spies8chance: not sure yet, but i have plenty of time to think about it.
(10:08:53 PM) spies8chance: and if you don't tell anyone you're throwing a vote, things won't change.
(10:09:21 PM) spies8owen: I've seen last second vote changes happen before.
(10:09:25 PM) spies8chance: on cinnamyn are you, mary, lawrence, claude, kiara, and rondak.
(10:09:31 PM) spies8chance: on rondak are hambone, dane, and me.
(10:09:37 PM) spies8chance: stephanie undecided.
(10:09:48 PM) spies8owen: And I break ties, I believe. Hmm.
(10:11:25 PM) spies8chance: hang on, you may not have to, mary's back.
(10:12:42 PM) spies8owen: I think I'm gonna stick to my Cinnamyn vote. I'm not sure anyone needs exile immunity right now.
(10:13:06 PM) spies8chance: meh, fine.
(10:13:06 PM) spies8owen: If you make the wrong choice, it just narrows our chances down.
(10:13:24 PM) spies8chance: as opposed to you making the wrong choice and bringing us that much closer to LYLO, ;-).
(10:15:22 PM) spies8owen: You channeled your inner Broderick on that one.
(10:15:26 PM) spies8owen: Wink and everything.
(10:17:03 PM) spies8chance: i'm not shy about the fact that i think rondak should be going over cinnamyn. but obviously i'm not convincing enough.

What an asshole.

(10:12:22 PM) spies8mary: spies8mary: Who are you going to make exile-immune?
[19:11] spies8chance: probably you.
[19:12] spies8mary: That's boring.

(10:16:21 PM) spies8mary: I'm considering voting for Chance.
(10:16:56 PM) spies8mary: spies8mary: Cinnamyn (6) - Stephanie, Owen, Claude, Lawrence, Kiara, Rondak
[19:15] spies8mary: Rondak (3) - Hambone, Dane, Chance
[19:15] spies8mary: Chance(1) - Mary
[19:15] spies8mary: not voting: Cinnamyn, Jasmine

What an idiot. Not Mary. Chance.

Okay, so, basically... offer someone immunity that is obv-scum (to me, at least) if Cinnamyn flips town? Kill me.

GERTRUDE, I COMMEND YOU FOR KEEPING CHANCE SOMEWHAT IN LINE FOR AS LONG AS YOU DID. Ridiculous.

[Chance]

Lol, Steve.

[steev]

Wow...this is the first I've heard of replacement-me's antics. He actually revealed who I was before the game was over?

As for replacing me vice booting me--I technically only missed one episode before I was replaced, and had asked for a replacement. So *nyah*
