Beverly's Episode One Confessionals

[Beverly]

DANG! What a night! Where do I start? Well first off... I'M A SPY!!! Damn how long have I been waiting for this moment? It's been a while but Sam has finally given me the oppurtunity and I absolutely refuse to disappoint. Things sure did take an unexpected change today, though. Would you like to hear?

We started off with the ever-so anticipated meeting tonight. I let Beverly let loose on a couple of people, mainly Abrams, and made a few new friends to add to the hottie clan (specifically Candy, Bunni, and Gordy). We didn't need an icebreaker because of course Bev did such a fantastic job of getting everybody to open up. That's what I needed; a cast that liked to talk. I had to set the mood that way, because how else would citizens reveal information if they didn't talk?

At the meeting we were told about dividing into families. I had a really tough time with this because the last thing I wanted to do was make some of my new "friends" upset with me because I didn't choose to be in a family with them. Luckily I didn't hurt anybody and I'm in a family that I can trust (and be Bev-like with). Faizah, Lloyd, and Bunni are all trustworthy and I'm pretty sure like me. I'm the perfect person for them to hide behind; they'll want me around.

After that, identities were revealed. As you now know, I am glad to say that I am a spy. I quickly found out that Naomi and Masaki were 2 other spies, and I'm hoping there are more. I want to be the last to post; I bet no spy wants me on their team. I know there isn't 3 spies, so, if I'm the last to check into HQ, then I'm absolutely certain that there has to be another faction... which would of course bomb. I don't think so, though.

By the time the meeting ended things quickly heated up. Posts about me were in the Burg and almost everybody was talking about exiling me because I was too over-the-top and people wanted to find someone to back behind as an easy first boot. Luckily, however, my hotties had my back and my Diva Family had joined forces with Madison, Ralph, Zander, and Gordy. Again, I trust all of them a lot, and I have a good feeling they trust me too. Well, all 7 have shown signs of loyalty to me, so I'm not too worried about then. Also, Naomi and Masaki are in the same house, so with them and the 2 others in their family, that would be another 4 votes in my favor. A total of 12. I need 15 to stay alive.

When Ralph came to me with the idea of merging the families I was thrilled, but I wasn't too thrilled when he told me everyone was talking about exiling me. I had to get to work, and I did a good job. I started with Lise. Someone who I felt was influential and also someone who I think would listen to what I had to say. I played up the role (I'm not sure how well, though) of saying I still didn't understand the concept of Spies and had her explain it to me. I made a promise to tell her that anything I find fishy I will report immediately back to her, and that I was trusting her for now. I did the same thing with Angelica and Sherri - all fairly influential people. The weird thing was when Abrams decided to make nice. I've kind of settled on the fact that he wants to watch his ass, but he also doesn't think I'm a spy and wants to work with me for protection. His mistake was, I now have bait against him. If I tell people, which I have, that Abrams after role-play tried to make nice with me then he could be screwed, and as of now, I think most of the 12 voters I have in my back pocket want to get rid of Abrams. My worry is that, for now, he doesn't suspect me, and that means keeping him around could be really helpful. If he finds out that I'm using his reconciliation as bait, I could be stepping back into the target spotlight. I don't want that.

I also had conversations with Singe, Emma, Damon and Johan. None were fairly significant, but I wanted to try and build a relationship with them so that when it comes voting time they will at least have a reason to keep me. All conversations went really well. Do I trust them? Not really.

Soon after I did all my ass-saving, Ralph approached me and let me know that things died down considerably and that I was no longer a big target. The target was still on my back, sure, but it wasn't as strong as it had been earlier. People want to go after a quiet person. Excellent. The thing is that I think Ralph thinks I'm a spy, because he's talking a lot about imprisonment and stuff, and how he's nervous and loyal to me. It reminded me of how I treated Allison back in Spies2 when I knew she was a spy. I'll use it to my advantage... but keeping someone who thinks that about you can be very dangerous. Had Jenna not been imprisoned when she was, Allison would have been toast.

So, as we stand, I'm waiting eagerly to see if there are any more spies (I pray there are). It's funny that the two people I am stuck with are two people that I am almost the furthest away associated with. At the flop of a Make Out Party for the hotties, I told everyone that I kicked Naomi out for being rude. Not many happy campers. Now people think I don't like her, and I know that people like her. Oh, and she has the tiebreaker. Even better. With Masaki, I don't know him, so it's going to be a fresh start between us. As a collective, I'm not sure how successful our strategies will be, but at the moment morale is good. My only concern with my strategy was the early exiles, and the fact that I was able to turn it around (possibly permanently) so fast is extremely comforting. The citizens want to target the quiet. Well, hopefully the spies will imprison the active (like Sherri). I'm not going to make stupid choices like Spies 1-3, imprisoning people to "not associate yourself to". I want to imprison good citizens. There are a lot this season.

Can Bev survive? And who are the other spies (if there are any)? Find out next time on...

[Beverly]

Today turned out to be a really good day for me. I'm not going to go into too much detail because I'm tired and have school tomorrow, but I think Beverly is in the clear for a while which is fantastic news.

I started the day off by continuing to spread the word about Abram trying to make nice with me with Lise, Jeremiah, Angelica, Ralph, Faizah, and Sherri. As of now, it seems like Abram is toast. A massive number of people suspect him. Although Ralph originally wanted to go against Kip because Kip was targetting Leon, he changed his mind.

Speaking of Jeremiah and Ralph, Ralph told me a few minutes before that Jeremiah had a plan to make me act smart and drop the dumb act. Jeremiah yelled and hollered and all he got from it was no more capital locks. I win! I posted more on that incident in the Spy HQ.

Kip and I had a set back (and of course I started it on purpose) but I made him realize he was suspecting me unfairly, and he realized he had read a post wrong. His top suspect is Leon (which is why Ralph wanted Leon out) and luckily he's pretty close to my fellow spy, Masaki.

Before I left for my Thanksgiving Dinner, a chat with a lot of people formed. I was greeted with open arms and it seems like a lot of people have accepted Bev as someone who is giving it her all, but is still not contributing enough. At least that's what Abrams and Sherri have told me. It doesn't get much more perfect than that because they all still expect me to survive both imprisonment and exile. Wee.

When I returned I found out Emma was a spy. Great! Another person who isn't very alike to the group, and someone who is the girl-next-door. I don't think there has been a spy like that, so, we're pretty lucky. She reminds me of my beloved Emma from Spies 1. Although not as good. Sherri also told me she thinks Candy is a spy with Abrams because she knew about the Abrams thing and I told Sherri I didn't tell Candy (when I actually did). Just need to let people get framed! Naomi immediately told me that Sherri was telling HER everything I was saying (what scum, as Naomi puts it) and she thinks I'm paired with Candy, but thankfully she thinks Candy is of greater concern. Her days are numbered.

On the topic of Naomi, DAMN! Martha told her she was a spy, and Naomi agreed and stuff, and Martha hasn't posted yet! That could be disasterous. I'm hoping Martha is a spy for our sakes, but seriously I will have no problem turning on Martha very soon because she is a terrible and low-quality version of my girl Judith! She can't even act it right. Why bother? Maybe I'll target her this round because I've told everyone that I don't feel right getting rid of Abrams. Still got to play stupid! Although Jeremiah won't buy it.

As of now I'm in the clear... I'm hoping things keep working out like they do... I'm sure it won't always go without a hitch. Just waiting for something terrible to happen!

[Beverly]

Again, it's late and I'm pretty tired but I know getting my thoughts out is very useful for the post-game, reference, and of course for you, Sam, to get an idea of what is going on.

The day started out pretty interestingly. I got invited to a chat where we just fooled around and such, and made some posts in HQ. Then Martha comes in. I'll let you know, the main reason I want her out is because she's mocking Judith. I'm sorry, but any Judith mocker is not going to get further than the real girl. Plus I'm sure I know who she is so if I have to accuse her, I'll do it. Can't think you're the best gamer every time, Martha ;].

I called Martha out on a silly little comment about Abrams. I wanted to look like I was trying hard to find spies (by saying I will call people out to find a spy slip up, a brilliant idea I think) and I've put a nice (and probably deadly) target on Martha's back. She pinned how the spies are working well. Way too close for comfort.

I've defended Abrams and he's back up my ass. If he thinks I want him around, he'll keep me. Zander completely trusts me and I think Singe does too. I've got all the hotties really. I'm seriously nervous that I have this much influence.. it could be dangerous. However, I think the spies are looking solid right now. We all cover different units of this large cast. Never get cocky though; things do indeed change very fast.

Oh, Sherri's imprisonment. I bet it was DC. GREAT, THOUGH! She was a worry for me. Now she's gone, we can focus on some more open people. I think imprisonment-wise the spies aren't holding back, and I'm very thankful we've got a keen group this season.

I want Martha out also because she's going to be hard to get out later. She's good at getting people to change their minds to keep her. If any of my spies, or even myself, get thrown up on the chopping block against Martha, it won't be easy. With Abrams... it will. I need to get my hotties to vote my way, but I'm making it look like I'm not trying to get them (in case Martha does stay). If I ever do go down, at least my spies will be in a good spot. My fellow hotties will get targetted. Martha can't win even if I lose! The spies are too good for her!

I don't have much to say... I've got a lot of control and everything is panning out more perfect than expected... OH! Masaki and Naomi are voting for me since they can't vote Abrams and it throws things off and puts some heat on me too.. I can't be in TOO perfect a spot!

I'm also trying to counter what Martha does when she works to keep herself by kissing ass. An example (a really good one) was when I told Zander before Martha got to him that we should keep her (LOL) because she was being nice to me.. and then he told me she's being fake, and I told him to watch out. I love the stupid act.

Oh! And I've made a good relationship with Singe; he doesn't seem to suspect me. Masaki tells us a lot of things the people that are smart/we don't talk to much are saying and then do what they seem to be wanting out of us swiftly without a hitch, and remain good in their eyes. We all kind of do that. We're a good team, even if I am taking the reigns early on here.

I think I'm done... ready to see someone go down (not a spy) tomorrow... we need to really consider what to do with that advantage for the Fatetaker though!

[Judge Sam]

Thank you for posting all those conversations and these AMAZING thoughts! It can't be easy to find time to write these, as well as do the 100,000 other things a Spy has to do. I am loving you as a Spy and I'm loving Beverly.

[Judge Sam]

oh also let's meet on chat and talk about you as a spy (actually I want to see what it's like to talk to someone speaking in all caps hahaha)

[Beverly]

LOL! No problem. I took a break yesterday (I've never actually taken the break on break day, but as a spy, you sure as hell need it!) I'll definitely talk when I get back from school (sometime after 5:30 CDT).

[Summer]

Kickass confessional Beverly!

[Beverly]

[Kip]

Very nice read.

[Beverly]

Unfortunately all future confessionals are only 1 or 2 posts, rather than 6 like this one. I was busy spying.

[Martha]

Very, very interesting LOL. Actually quite flattering, if one disregards the (utterly true) implication that I'm a really bad Judith impersonator. I really thought Bev had the devil-worship thing pegged.

And since when did Judith sacrifice rabbits to Satan?

[Beverly]

YAY for the episode title being mine =)
