Why did I do it?
The only tough choice in tonight's temptation was how much I was gonna hold out for. I didn't want to be ridiculed for taking a low amount. I was looking for something in the range of 25-50, so when Sam stated that there was at least 25, and then dropped a couple bucks in nickels I knew I didn't want to wait any longer.
It's been no secret I've been frustrated playing this game. On one hand I love the game of mafia. I love it in person, and I love the games that I've played and hosted over the years online. I just don't think spies is the right game for me. I never felt comfortable using the AIM component of this game. For some reason the inability for me to see all of what was happening on one board or talking in one circle was different, and frustrating. So much secrecy.
I think that frustration boiled over a lot into the conversations I was having. About 70% of them were negative in nature, with name calling and hurtful phrases. Now I know I can be a man and suck it up, and hell I wasn't all that nice all the time either. I guess I just felt no obligation to help most of the people that were left.
I loved the role I had in this game. Lots of fun. I feel like a lot of the time I wasn't utilized as I shoulda been, but it's quite possible that if I was MORE helpful I wouldn't of lived as long as I did. So I guess we'll never know. That is my one disappointment in this game, that I wasn't able to use my abilities to their fullest.
So to conclude, I was behind in making cases, I didn't like the cast's attitude, and I really just had no idea who the spies were. It was worth the money for me to leave and I don't expect to regret it.
Sam, none of my criticism of this game reflects onto you. You're great and the game you've created is just awesome. Can't be duplicated. It was an honor to play for you. Sorry if I wasn't the cast member you expected, or if I let you down in any way. I'm also sorry that it took so many season for me to sign up... damn life always getting in the way.
So who are the spies? I don't know. haha. Jenny, my ally early on, is leaving as one of my top suspects, which I told no one. It'll be really embarrassing if she is a spy, but I just couldn't turn on her without taking a ton of flack for it. I was stuck with her. At least she was very nice to talk to.... Good luck Jenny regardless of your alignment.
I also wish Owen luck, but I fear he'll be joining me soon. Most of the people I liked are in the Loser Lodge, so I'll say hi to them when I get there!!!!
Oh and what am I doing with the money? I'm either buying a dvd or taking the cash to the casino and putting it all down on Blackjack. I'll let you know how it goes.
Love, Peace, and Chicken Grease
