Episode 5 Director's Commentary

[Johan]

I am going to finish the game active.
I've done two things:
1. I've set Candy up.
2. I've set Singe up.

I feel suspicious of both Candy and Singe. So how better to find out their true intentions than to tell them that I have a role? The way I see it is this; One of the two is almost definitely a citizen (hopefully both), but there is a chance that one is a spy. If neither is a spy then I know of two people I can begin to work with. If one of them is a spy and the other isn't, or if they are on opposing spy factions, then if I am imprisoned for my role, the one not imprisoning will know that the other is a spy. It's a win-win situation for everyone except for me, because obviously if one of them is a spy, I'm out of here eventually. But that's okay, because it's not like I've done a lot to assist the citizens, so the least I can do is to sacrifice myself for the goal of sniffing out a spy to be exiled shortly after me.
But since it's one of my plans, I'm sure it'll backfire...
I have good reason to believe that Candy is not a spy though, as I have felt that she is DC since Episode 2 or 3 or so. DC was a spy in the last game so I don't think that she would be again, this game. But then again, she did a great job, so maybe she would.
But anyway, that's all I have right now. Hopefully I can get more soon...

It's unfortunate and humorous that 3 of the 4 citizen role holders formed a homicidal distrust triangle.

[Johan]

Yeah it really was :/ I really hated being paranoid about Candy, one second I trusted my instincts that she was a citizen and the next minute paranoia made me want to run around shouting nonsense and craziness for trusting a spy so much, so... It was an interesting game ;D

[Martha]

It's odd, from the Loser's Lounge I didn't suspect Candy AT ALL. I never once thought she was anything approaching a likely suspect. And yet, I get the impression that if I were in the game, I would probably have had the same reaction as Trey / Johan had here. (That's if I didn't think she was DC, of course.) Weird? Or just an illustration of the fact that it's a LOT easier when you've left the game than when you're still in it?

[Candy]

Johan that was the point. One reason why I never told you my role was because I wanted you to keep questioning me so you wouldn't go around yelling I was a 100% confirmed citizen or even give that impression to the spies. Since you kept listening to me and didn't push for me to be exiled I had no reason to tell you anything that would have made you trust me.

Your paranoia worked in my favor until the end when you were imprisoned and you told people that Singe or I had to be a spy.

[Johan]

I'd have never told such a thing to the Burg, I'd do nothing to place my dear Candy into danger! (Except for at the end - sorry about that again). Yeah, it worked out overall, and while it provided me with some nice episodes of insanity later on, it was very enjoyable


Yeah David, it's definitely different looking at it from the outside and from the inside, as soon as I was in the LL I felt bad for my parting words because I realized how wrong I was :/ But I don't have the spy-catching skills that you do

Yeah, because Gigi was such a hard target given Monica, Soraya, Marion, Emma and half the burg all seemed to be on her case... You realise I haven't contributed to one spy's exile since then?

[Summer]

But you were a spy in the second game and you were out in round 1 of this game.
