Exile I

[Judge Sam]

EXILE I

Judge Sam: “Welcome to Exile I. It’s been a jam packed first four days in Spies 4, with everything from opening chats, identity reveals, tiebreaker challenges, families, drama amongst players, suspicions, a new leaderboard, surprise Imprisonments, and our very first vote. Hopefully you’ll have time to take that in in the upcoming days and use it to form a basis for your Spy suspicions.


Some announcements. First, I encourage you to casually tell your friends about Spies 4. If someone asks ya “What’s up?” drop them a link and encourage them to follow along as you play. If you are 100% certain they’ve never ever heard of Spies before, you can tell them who you are. The Burg is public so there is plenty for people to follow along with. Just getting word out of the game is the most difficult part of creating the game for me so I really really appreciate it.


Second, we’re all here to play mafia… let’s keep the freak-outs and gross behavior to a minimum. I’m all for free speech but let’s act as classy as we can and not post anything that we wouldn’t say to strangers we just met. Just respect each other and everyone will have a better time.


Third, let’s not try and abuse the Accusation system. Let’s all follow the “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell, Don’t Pursue, Don’t Harass” version of people’s real aliases. How often do you get to play a mafia game where you don’t know most of the players and have preconceived grudges or opinions against them? Let’s take advantage of this unique experience and not worry about that. Rule 2 of the Big Two Rules deals with that for more information.


Now it is time to get to questions. Each Exile I ask questions for people to answer. You can read them right here at this link.


Sam stands up resolutely, picks up the voting shoebox, and begins walking amongst the villagers. One by one, they drop their vote into the shoebox. Some are satisfied with their choice, others are nervous and unsure. Everyone - Citizens and Spies alike - are praying that their name does not come up.


Judge Sam: "All of the votes have been received and verified, and a result has been decided. Let the Exiling begin."

First we have penalty votes. Players who do not follow the rules receive self-votes that may be the additional factor that gets you kicked out of the game. These rules are not difficult to follow and are necessary for the game to be played out properly.


For being successfully Accused for their real alias by others (1 vote):

Lloyd, Martha, Zander.


For not posting at least 2 conversations in their confessional for Episode I (2 votes):

Damon, Grace, Kip, Kiyoshi.


For not voting in Episode I (5 votes): Bunni, Damon, Kiyoshi.

Bunni, Damon, Kiyoshi.




Current tally is:

Damon, Kiyoshi: 7
Bunni: 5
Grace, Kip: 2
Lloyd, Martha, Zander: 1





Let me remind you that the votes are revealed in no particular order, except to provide an exciting vote as possible. The first votes ever revealed in Spies 4 are…

Martha, by Johan.

Martha, by Lise.

Martha, by Ralph.

That jumps Martha into the lead with 8 votes, Kiyoshi and Damon behind with 7.

Lloyd, by Summer.


Bunni, Beverly, and Lloyd.


Bunni’s at 6, Lloyd’s at 2, and Beverly is at one.

Martha, by Singe.





Martha, Kiyoshi, Martha.


We’re tied. 13 votes to 13 votes. Kiyoshi VS. Martha.


There’s only two more votes left to count.


Will a decision be made or could Naomi possibly use her tiebreaker?


It’s time to find out…

Martha - You have been Exiled from the Burg under suspicion of being a Spy. It is now your time to leave. Goodbye.


Judge Sam: "Thank you for playing and giving it your all. It wasn’t the most ceremonious exit I’ve ever seen, but I think you made an impact. I’m sure everyone will enjoy reading your confessionals after the game to find out what was truly going on in that head of yours.”


Martha : Please post Final Words in your confessional immediately.


Martha takes one last look at their former friends. Saddened by being suspected of a Spy by the people they trusted, they take their supplies and compass and head out into the wilderness, disappearing into the sunset. You will never see them again.


It is now time to find out if this person was truly a Spy. If they were, we will rejoice in becoming one step closer to safety and security. If they were not, we just cast out an innocent soul. Someone just like us. Someone who wanted to eliminate the Spies just as badly as we do.



Martha was a....

Citizen.

Judge Sam: “A divisive Citizen yes, clearly conflicted on what she wanted her character to be, but a Citizen nevertheless. A better decision than Kiyoshi? Maybe time will tell.”


Imprisonment II is Saturday 7:00 PM CST, non-live. There is plenty to do in between then, including get to know all the other players, share your suspicions, analyze this last Exile, enact strategies to prevent yourself from being Imprisoned, share information, and more. Including Challenge II, which will be posted on Friday morning.

I’ll see you then.

“Distrust all those who love you extremely upon a very slight acquaintance and without any visible reason.”

Correction: Abrams posted at least 2 conversations in his confessional I missed them when going through it. His votes have been recalled and he will not receive the next-highest penalties. My apologies. If possible, create topics called "Episode II - Conversations" in your confessional so I can find it easily when going through them quickly during the Exile vote count period, although I do try and check everywhere else too. I just missed it with 28 confessional to go through in 15 minutes.
