Well hell why not? I'll start this just in case.
This game has been a blast. I really really really enjoy these Spy games, 10 times more than a typical thread-based mafia game. When I originally signed on for Spies three, and received notification that the game would begin shortly, I nearly dropped out because I thought it'd be lame. How wrong I was. Sam, the day you stop hosting these games, will be the day you see me cry! Well, maybe not, but it will be a sad day indeed. Maybe I'll pick up hosting for you? Let's hope we don't have to cross that bridge for a while!
Anyway, Spies 4. I've enjoyed this game much more than Spies 3. Perhaps because I've been more successful, perhaps because I am Spy this time. I've had a huge impact on both games, but I think the impact I've had this time, although more successful to my goals, are less noted than the failure of an impact I had last game. Funny how that works, huh?
We've seen the introduction of a few wonderful players this time around. You guys know who you are, and I better see you in the next game.
I still believe we got fairly shafted as a group. I'm not complaining about the game setup, although I think there was perhaps a bit too much investigative power this time around, but rather the horrid luck we've had. Emma usurping our own Imprisonment did huge damage in that we lost a member of our team while losing our turn to eliminate another player. Naomi and Beverly being investigated was what really did us in. I'm sorry I'm the only one to dodge all of those bullets(well, maybe not the Orthodoxy investigation - we'll see), but just realize I've been struggling, very very much just to survive as long as I have. I've noone to conspire with, an imprisonment every two episodes, and a name to submit to a player I'm 99% certain wants me out of the game. I'm doing my absolute best just to see the dawn of the next episode at this point. I'm probably not going to win, but every episode I see is an accomplishment under these conditions.
Mistakes :
1) I think I came into this game with the wrong attitude. I've played so differently from how I did as Jack. I'm not as outspoken and open with my theories. I'm not as carefree about who suspects me, and who's going to imprison me. I'm playing too much as the lone survivor, and that has killed me. I think I changed my attitude up just in time to give me the damage control needed to give me the momentum to move forward, but I still should've done better with my foundation.
2) I had no alliances with players like I did last time. In part, we don't have Anneliese's builder role that had me confirmed from day one last game, and I therefore don't have the group of wolves doing the Spy hunting, but I still did not try to get cozy with anyone besides maybe Singe, Kip, and Damon(later on). Big mistake, and it's biting me in the hiny big time.
3) VOTING NAOMI OVER BEVERLY. BIG FUCK UP. Although it REALLY SHOULD NOT MATTER. It's just how people play this damn game so differently than I'd expect. Really, it didn't benefit me much to vote Naomi over Beverly, but I'd just rather keep her around one more episode because she had people strung up. I learned far too late that Beverly was going to be exiled, and I refused to change my vote to her because I had _committed_ to voting Naomi to several people. Lo and behold, it's come back to haunt me.
To Zander : I don't know if you've really got a problem with me, or what, but I really hope after this game is over you put all grudges aside. Right now I am interpreting your behavior as an in-game tactic, rather than personal vengeance. We were really cool in Spies 3, and I realize you are near certain I'd be a Spy this time, but I don't know, something about how you're behaving has me worried that there's more going on.
To Singe : Sorry I led you down the false alley for so long, man. You're the only reason I am writing this in the month of November rather than the month of October. Regardless, I've had a blast.
To Candy : AH NO U IZ THA SKEESM MAKA AND FATE MAKA HUN BUT U DUNT GAWT 2 HATE ON DA MISTAKEE. I hope you're not as evil as you act.
To Bunni, Kip, and Damon - Sorry for the deception. Had to do it! <3
To Summer - We had some fairly heated debates. Let it be known, it was tactical for the most part. No hard feelings?
To the Orthodoxy - I only know Faizah and Angelica were Orthodoxy at this time, but you guys have done an amazing job of not pinging anyone's radar. Also well done was keeping me pacing about whether or not I was investigated. I STILL don't know. And yes I STILL hate the Orthodoxy because they frakked up everything.
To My Fellow Spies - Again, sorry things wound up that way. I think we did an awesome job early on manipulating the first investigation. Naomi did a great job playing off the Angelica thing, although it didn't work out, while Beverly did a fantastic job selling people her role. Emma did a good job keeping Masaki company in House V. <3 I guess I did a decent job fucking with people's minds and getting lucky, I dunno!
To Ralph - "I HAVE A ROLE!!!" is still my favorite line in the game.
To Jeremiah - I was one of the ones who sold you out episode 3 - I just did damage control by listening to your pleas. I knew you were done(we planned it from the beginning). Sorry man!
To everyone else - Good game. Had a blast. See you next season. Ignore my insanity in the Spy HQ and my Confessional - I am not insane, but I lost it a little bit trying to handle all of you on my own.
