About Accusations

[Judge Sam]

If someone knows your true life alias, they have an extra vote they can hold over your head for use at any Exile.



The Accusation system is simple. Inside your confessional you will find a thread entitled "Accusations." Simply post the alias of any other player as a reply to that thread. Give me their alias name and something else that identifies them - their real name, their real AIM name, a character they played in a previous Spies, or something similar. Accusations are completely private - no one will know that you Accused them whether you are right or wrong.


You can list as many people as you like. Example:


Spies character - real name/AIM/online name

Alexander - scott8384
Roberto - villianess999
Leslie - victoroftheworld


Here's how it works. If you have correctly identified a person's alias, you hold an extra vote over their head. At the next Exile they will automatically receive an additional vote at Exile that is NOT attributed to you. If you are incorrect, I will not add an extra vote and you will not be able to Accuse this person again.


Once you use an Accuse vote on a person, you can't use it again. You can add as many Accuse votes as you like at an Exile.


Gossip travels fast in the land of Spies. Even if you confess your true life alias to one trusted person, your alias could slip out. Once it does, that information is out of your control. You could have effectively doubled the amount of votes over your head at Exile. Keep your true life alias to yourself as it states in the rules and you won't have any of these problems.

Players who know each other outside the game (a small percentage of the cast) may try to secure an advantage over other players by using their real life Alias to influence other players. Thankfully, I have had practically no problems with this in the past. 97.5% of people are able to keep their character a secret.


This is not in place to be abused. As the game continues on and this becomes a non-issue, these penalties will be removed. I don't want close votes near the end mucked up with crap like this haha. This is in place to prevent players from gaining an advantage over others.

Also, and this is important, please do not inform me in IM or in your confessional things like "I think Claudia is ____ and here's why" or "Susie just said something that made me think she is actually _____ lol, I bet that's her." I really really really really really do not want to hear about gossip revolving around people's aliases lol. It's just not fun for me. Just post your accusations in the thread in your confessional entitled "Accusation Area" and be done with it.
