Claude's Critiques

[tonisha]

O hai, I was wondering... When you play Monopoly, Do you replace the Community Chest cards with Chance cards? In fact, do you replace all of the Railroads with Chance cards, too? And the houses. And Go.

...Because as far as your game play has shown so far, all you care about in life is Chance. You've admitted that all of your other suspects, which are not many, rely on Chance being a Spy as well. That's bad.

Have you ever heard the expression about keeping all of your eggs in one ovary? OK, maybe that's not the expression, but you get the picture, right? Not a literal picture in a frame, but the idea.

You got some mad tunnel vision, yo. You haven't even looked away from Chance at all, the entire game. Even if he is a Spy, which he probably is, you've been so focused on him, that you've limited your ability to Spy Hunt.

And if he's not a Spy, then you're dead, because your role claim still looked bad, and you know the fishes that are so delicious will be after you immediately if Chance is a Citizen, which he's probably not.

Oh, and how's that certainty of Camilla being a Spy working out for you?

Claude, stop betting your life on stuff. You go crazy stating what you believe in and then when you're wrong I don't know what to do. You just went batshit insane protecting Magalie and I don't know if this was a smart Spy move or a dumb Citizen move. Either way, stop it. No more saying that you 100% know something when you're wrong.

Dear Claudebot, be not afraid
Of your aging wires, so very frayed
Take this as a form of flattery
Don't forget to charge your battery

You're a dynamic character in the game. Although you have been terribly wrong at times, you fight for the things you want and believe with so much conviction that it's hard not to like you. Unless you're Chance, that is.

However, with the role you have, it's of the utmost importance that you are targeting the right players. While I admire your conviction on Chance, I believe that you are once again terribly wrong. If you could put even half the energy you put into trying to get Chance out of the game on other suspects, you could be a force. Of course you shouldn't take your eye off Chance completely, but more attention on others would help quite a bit.

Keep up with the intensity, but spread it out more. Oh, and treat Gertrude right. She is a lady despite her vulgar language and terrible sexual innuendos. Don't let her do it dry, either.

Claude, you are one of the few reasons I am still watching this game. You are a character without roleplaying one. When you're in the right frame of mind, it's a lot of fun to watch you think aloud in those group chat transcripts. If you're a Spy, you're an amazing actor. I do think you could use a scalp massage, less stress and some herbal scalp treatments to take care of that hairline issue.

My suggestion to you is to think outside your box for at least five minutes an hour. Two games ago, a Citizen with your kind of talent failed to do so and her mental blocks ended up killing off good Citizens and losing the game for the good team.

Don't be a me. Unless you're a Spy. Then you can screw up all you want. Ta-ta!

Love,
Jenya

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.

Have some more faith with people playing alright? I don't know where you're used to playing, but it looks like it's slightly more different then you anticipated. I know you've already heard it from just about everyone right after Magalie was exiled, but it likely hammered the point home then much else could have. Things aren't going to always go the way you expect it, so don't be afraid to listen to other opinions of what's going on. Maybe you'll even come up with something new while working it out with someone.

I honestly don't give a two shits how long you have been playing mafia. Using the justification of playing for however many years you have for your suspicions really just makes you seem like a cocky fool. You don't know how a spy would act, you don't know how a citizen would act, and your years of experience really just make me want to laugh in your face, because in this game, it's worth nothing.

You are underestimating the spies. They will continue to use you and your emotional "veteran" tendencies until they can throw you in the trash. The great thing about this game is that we are all on the same level, and are expected to work together. The sooner you figure this out, the better.

And also, the aliases are the best part of this game.

[tonisha]

Your mafia theory is based on textbooks and not practicum. Largest eand most recent example is Magalie. Given that you have a role, if you are a citizen you should use it to better the Burg, and not your personal reasons. If you are a spy, self exile out.

Claude -

I would be the first to agree with you that your playstyle gets results. However, you might do well to remember that not everything is about you. I've noticed multiple times that you've decided your opinion about someone or something based on some reason involving you, and sweet cheeks, it ain't always gonna be your show. You need to look at the bigger picture sometimes, I think.
