Exile 3 Discussion, Challenge Strategy

[Summer]

Hi Kip and Singe.

Since we don't talk much online, maybe posting can help us talk some things through.

1. Voting - we're all in the same group and we obviously can't vote for each other. I know you suspect me Kip, but I honest to god am not a Spy. I'm afraid that the votes will swing from Ralph onto me during the next few days, and I need all the help I can get.

Like I said in the burg, I've already voted for Ralph. If he had changed his story last night when I IMed him and just said "I made it up because I was afraid Lloyd was going to imprison me" that would be another story. But he kept insisting his story was true, and I don't buy a word of it. I don't like lying and I sure don't like lying spies.

2. The investigation - I know I have no chance of winning it because I don't have a lot of people who trust me. This means my points are useless unless I give them to someone else. To counteract the 4 Traditionalist spies giving all of their points to one of their own, I need to use my points wisely. I talk enough that I will have a lot of them. I posted in the burg that I want to give my points to Singe. I posted it because out of everyone in the entire game, if I can't win it, I want Singe to. I don't think Singe is a spy and I saw in the challenge that he's a smart thinker and quick in action (I am not going to say this in the burg because I don't want to make Singe an imprisonment target). And Singe, you have enough people who think you are a citizen to be able to pull this off and get enough points to beat the Spies.

Thoughts guys?

[Singe]

I'm not making an effort to win this conversation thing either--too much effort. We'll see if anyone else wants to throw "points" my way.

Do you really think the Traditionalists would dare give all their points to one member of their team?

[Kip]

I think this conversation thing is easy enough... I think we should prepare a list of people we all agree must be citizen, and give away all our points to that person en masse.

I am leaning on giving it to either Beverly, Singe or Angelica right now.

I suspect Abrams more than I suspect you.

Hi again guys.

1. Points - Singe, if you aren't going to have conversations with people, there's no point in giving my points to you. I want someone that I trust to have enough points to investigate.

0 + Summer = Summer

Someone else who has points + Summer = More points than Summer has, and maybe enough to outbid a spy.

So I'm reconsidering Kip's idea to give our points to Beverly. She'll have enough points to override a spy's points, if she isn't a spy.


2. Votes - I'm still locked in for Ralph since I haven't seen or heard anything to make me think he's not a huge liar and a spy. What about you guys?

[Singe]

I'm still accumulating points, but I dunno if it'll be enough to overcome the ballot stuffing for Gordy.

Ralph is my #1 suspect, and he's disappeared. Not good.
