Leon: "Why would I work so hard against a fellow spy, even when its unneeded, and incredibly harmful toward them."

Summer: "A look at past games reveals this strategy worked beautifully for Tyson in spies 2 and Claire in spies 3."


Hmmmmmm... not sure about this one. I actually gave Allison away by trying to defend her (remember the extra and, as it turned out, needless Antonio accusation that made it crystal clear that someone was trying to defend Allison?)

Claire was the only spy I never suspected until the finale, partly because she contradicted me when I said I thought Tenchi and Bebe were safe (and later put up a shit-hot performance with Tenchi where they both pretended not to trust each other one bit. That was awesome BTW.)

What Claire did - although I think she was premature to talk about exiling a spy when there was no need for it then - was still a smart move. THE ONLY THING YOU NEED AS A SPY IS ONE CITIZEN EACH EXILE WHO WILL BE VOTED OUT BEFORE YOU AND YOUR COLLEAGUES WILL. It doesn't matter if the five spies are suspects 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 every single exile, just as long as choice #1 is a cit. Claire demonstrated this brilliantly.

Yves, you said yourself that as Tyson, when Leo's name was brought up, you pushed as hard as you could to get him exiled. Claire also pushed constantly for Bebe to be exiled (problem here was, she actually really did want me exiled ... what a bitch). But in the end, these were big reasons why they weren't suspected as Spies - because they were pushing for Spies to be exiled.

Sooner or later I'm going to run out of variations on "Tyson", "Reicheru" and "Martha". unfortunately you can only use each one once unless you log in, and right now I can't do that and won't be for the forseeable future...

DC I agree. In fact that was my point, although it was badly put - it was LEON I was disagreeing with, not you. (Reading it now, it comes off as the opposite as I intended. Oh well.)

And, while I agree about Leo, I had Tiffany pushing him in my face from one direction and Nicole and Davoni campaigning like demons for him from the other side. Basically, what I had been expecting to happen for the last six days or so had suddenly sprung up during the one day that I couldn't be online. A helluva lot of people suddenly realised that they all had suspicions of the same person, and they decided to act on it. Basically, Leo did exactly the same thing as Gigi did, and shared pretty much the same fate, even if it was a round later.

I don't know if I could've nipped it in the bud earlier if I'd been there (like I think I did with the plans to exile Allison in round five) but in the end it was a moot point and would've been a stupid thing to do anyway. By the time I got in on the action there were six citizens that I knew of who were all planning on getting him out. All I had to do was try and make sure I got most of the credit.

You're not suggesting that there could ever be any serious tension between DC and Meaghan, are you? Isn't that a bit far-fetched? Somehow I just can't see it...
