Episode X: The Curtain Closes

I guess I'll do final words here sam if you don't mind. If this is still accessible while I'm watching that'd be great! I wanna keep it updated.

Alright, so my renewed gameplan back in episode two didn't work. Being an active member doesn't work as well as watching the game. You can't be outward and backstabbing. Beverly pulled it off by showing loyalty to her alliance. I couldn't, clearly. I backstabbed too much and it got me in trouble. Also, I realized that this is a very different game from mafia. People are more stubborn and less likely to listen to reason. You have to placate a great majority of people and that requires acting conservatively. I assumed too much of the players, and next time around I'll stay out of the way.

Really, I switched between being uber cit to uber spy too frequently. And appealing to so many different types is hard. With mafia, you appeal to logic, anything else and you're dead. Here, it's not just logic, it's a sea of WIFOM! and you have to appeal to emotion as well. I was put into this game not really knowing how these people think. But now I know! LOL

I think the problem is that damage has already been done between the spy groups. Both groups are down to very little because of the in-fighting, and now both want revenge. Remember, it was basically bev that told gordy to investigate angelica. So we outed them, they out us. It's a bitter feud now. If you maybe had tried suggesting working together earlier before that, you might have had better chances. Here's a proposition though: Have the fatemaker decide whether or not the spies group together. You can offer a citizen prize if the fatemaker gives it an ok, and if not then the spies remain how they are. If the grouping turns out to be too powerful, break it off again, and make them immune to each other(forces them to persuade people without looking suspicious). That way they can't just dominate each other.

I was going to post this in your thread in the losers lounge, but if you decide to use the idea you might want to hide it from bev and angelica.
