episode v

[Chance]

so episode iv was a big fat waste as far as i'm concerned. i didn't even get a vote, so i won't be making gertie immune from exile, which means she's open to votes, which means she's open to her power failing. sigh. ever since i got back from nebraska i've been sick with something. first it was my throat, then it was my throat and voice, now it's my throat, voice, and eyes. my eyes are red as rubies - i can't have my contacts in and i don't own a pair of glasses, so i am effectively blind. can't see to drive, so couldn't go to work today, am definitely not up to a group chat with people talking all at once when i have to hold the laptop three inches from my face to be able to see what people are writing (there are probably typos in this post becuase i'm i'm sitting at normal distance while typing this, plus my computer is lagging right now for some reason).

but anyway. moving on. isaac was a spy. that makes me look horrible, considering i never really suspected him plus agreeing with him about jasmine, plus not voting him. claude is on the warpath against me again, surprise surprise. plus, mary got her vote back last night and is firmly in claude's back pocket where i'm concerned, so there's one vote locked in for me already. gertie and i have decided that my only chance (and her only chance to not get votes) is to claim to owen.

went back and fixed two typos. this is turning into a stream of consciousness entry. anyway, where was i. oh yeah, claiming to owen. we're apparently going to claim everything, put all our cards on the table. the roles, the mason thing, why we did what we did, etc. gertie came up with a plan involving allan, which i like, because it has the potential to lock the game down. i don't know if sam will try and mess with it though, considering. it goes like this - gertie immunes allan each episode. allan, via copycat power, immunes gertie each episode. gertie also immunes more and more people as her power increases, starting with me. i immune gertie from exile each episode. gertie votes for me each episode to keep my power going. brilliant, no? will take a while to start up though. first, gertie has to get through this episode with no votes (hence thee claim). if she does then i think we're home free as long as i don't get exiled.

[Chance]

so gertie and i have officially claimed to owen now. i think he believes us (or at least he will when allan confirms that he got an imprisonment immunity). that's the first person to know, outside gertie and i's little circle.

[Chance]

two things - first, the person with the most conversations with different people gets their vote back this episode. i have seven to go, gertie has five. we seriously need that spot because it's looking like i'll be nominated and owen isn't confident he can keep me from being exiled. here's hoping.

second, the spies gave mags her vote back. i'm not sure what this means. is she a spy? is she a stupid cit and the spies know that? is she useless and the spies know that too? argh.

this is not looking like a good episode for me.

suspicions -

jasmine. her slimy attempt to bandwagon me day one and she fell flat on her face about it, avoiding awohali when he asked for details and finally admitting it was all a bunch of crap. also the timing of her vote for themba. possible bus against isaac.

rondak. lurker, wouldn't be sorry to see him go. the vote-fog last episode points at him being saved (for what reason i do not know).

allan. has a role and many things that point to him being a citizen. however, was caught in a contradiction regarding his rolename and suspicion of gertrude. possible playstyle thing, but i don't know.

cinnamyn. almost an active lurker. asks lots of questions but doesn't follow up, really. i think she's relying on the strength of her character and personality to float her through. her vote record leaves a lot to be desired as well. where was she when isaac was being exiled? something to check on.

claude. still slightly suspicious of him for reasons i can't quite let go of, like the camilla exile and subsequent roleclaim to save himself from being exiled. looks good for the isaac exile but that could have been a ginormous jenya-sized bus. dropping into the neutral range for now, but will keep an eye on (if i'm still around and he hasn't managed to exile me).

[Judge Sam]

Thank you for your thoughts. I'm really loving having you play. Sorry about your viral conjuctivitis... maybe in a few years I can offer some ideas on how to make it feel better haha. Hope you feel better soon.

[Chance]

you can do it when you host spies 9: the encore, sam.

[Chance]

i am literally shaking with rage right now. claude is the most hypocritical, word-twisting son of a bitch i've ever met. ugh. first i'm suspicious because i acted like i suspected magalie before i voted her, in a phrase that clearly implies immediately before. then i'm suspicious because i'm voting for her even though i don't suspect her. and no one decided to call him out on this but me? and now i'm suspicious because i shouldn't have brought up examples of past lurkers as a reason why i'm voting magalie? this is camilla all over again. you would think the fucktard would learn, but no. i am so over explaining myself to him again and again. i tried being civil, sam, i really did, but obviously it had no effect on the claude-bot.

[Chance]

right now i suspect the following, in the following order -

1. jasmine
2. stephanie
3. rondak
4. claude
5. cinnamyn/magalie


in other news, magalie is a total fucking bitchite whoremonger who needs to die in a fire. i don't care whether or not she's a citizen or a spy at this point, i want her gone. no cit does what she just did in the group chat. trying to get tina imprisoned, what the fucking fuck. sam does not need wastes of space like you in a game that he puts so much effort into, bitch. die please.

in other news, tina is the new, fifth member of our circle, after gertie decided tonight she was okay with claiming to her. our circle is now me, gertie, owen, cory, and tina. i call us the anti-spies. the current plan is that magalie will be lynched over me and depending on what she flips as, allan's imprisonment immunity will be given to owen or tina. fucking hambone made it impossible to protect cory, owen, and tina all three, which sucks. i really think whichever of owen and tina isn't protected will be taken out, but i can hope, right? the unprotected one is going to pick a fight with someone we all consider cittish (probably broderick) in order to maybe, maybe dodge imprisonment. but mags's recent outburst ('tina's the doc, imprison that bitch') makes me wonder how effective it's going to be for tina.

[Chance]

FUCKING BULLSHIT. CORY BLABBED MY ROLE TO MARY.

apparently she was going to go to claude because she thought cory was covering something up about me. i fucking knew that bitch was in claude's pocket. she'll probably tell him anyway.

i am so so pissed right now. apparently cory told mary the following

- i'm the devil.
- i can make people immune from exile as long as i get a vote.
- i have a mason partner.
- my partner makes people immune from imprisonment.

how long do you think it's going to take her to draw the line from me making people immune from exile to wondering 'hmm, why did chance make gertrude immune from exile?' she's a bitch but she's not stupid.

we're doomed.

I think that I may be requesting replacement out of this game.
spies8gertrude 7:27 pm
....What.
spies8claude 7:28 pm
I am not having fun.
spies8mary 7:28 pm
That would be a shame.
spies8claude 7:28 pm
Chance is, without exaggeration, the scummiest person I have ever come across in my history of playing this game.
Which is considerable.
Magalie is so obviously not a Spy that it's not even funny.
spies8claude 7:28 pm
Everyone wants to get on board with lynches for dumbfuck reasons like 'that person is not helpful', or 'it's a good principle'
A townie's job is to find scum. That's it.
That is not what is going on.
And I'm sick of it.
spies8gertrude 7:30 pm
Claude, you are not abut to spoil my special day because a lynch doesn't go your way.
spies8gertrude 7:31 pm
about*
spies8claude 7:31 pm
I can see why you would read it that way.
Mostly, I have no confidence in the town to actually be able to win this game.
And I don't want to waste 2 months of my time losing.

fucking christ, whine about it. 'oh people aren't following me for the first time all game long, i'm not getting what i want, raaaage quit!'

grow up. you wanting to quit because people aren't buying your bullshit about lynching me is crap. your robotic reasons for wanting to keep magalie in the game are also crap. if you think policy lynches are bad then you'd have been one of the people to lose spies 7 by not lynching andreas.
