Gordy's Identity

[Judge Sam]

You are a...










































Citizen.


You have a special ability. It is your goal to Get Yourself Imprisoned. More information about your role will be posted tomorrow. It is advised that you keep your role to yourself until you have all the information.

[Gordy]

Ahhhhhhhhh >_<

[Judge Sam]

You are the Activist. Being Imprisoned only makes you stronger.


It is your goal to get the Spies to pick you to be Imprisoned. Once the Spies select you to be Imprisoned, of course you will instead not be eliminated. It will not be announced that you were Saved, only that no one was Imprisoned. After you are Imprisoned, you will receive a very special power that will help the Citizens immensely. This power will be revealed to you in due course.


It is in your best interest to get Imprisoned as quickly as possible. The earlier you get yourself Imprisoned, the far, far, far better the power becomes. As time goes on and you are as unfortunate as not to be Imprisoned, the power will get weaker and weaker.


If you are worried about being Imprisoned a second time after you survive the first, don't be. There are many reasons, including your newfound power, that may help prevent this.


How in the world are you going to get the Spies to pick you to be Imprisoned? That's up to you to figure out. Be creative.


Your role has a lot of possibilities and unique things about it. I am excited to see how you use it. You will be the only one crossing your fingers at Imprisonment, praying that they pick you. Good luck on getting yourself Imprisoned. ;D

[Gordy]

Oh shit I don't wanna pull another Tanner haha. People will figure me out so easily.

I should use the word "cunt" a lot.

[Gordy]

I should start and group chat and insult every single person haha. Including that bitch Sammypoo.

[Judge Sam]

Just a friendly reminder, but you are not allowed to copy and paste text from me that confirms your Identity or a special role. Like you couldn't copy and paste this role description, or take a screenshot of your confessional, or post and AIM conversation where we talk about it. You are allowed to convey the information in any other way though, just say it in your own words.

[Gordy]

I'm not copy and pasting anything about the role. I've put it in my own words and twisted it a bit.

[Judge Sam]

It is now time for full details of your role to be revealed.

You have been very unfortunate that you have not been yet selected to be Imprisoned. Lise and Lloyd have managed to achieve what you could not. Hopefully tomorrow will bring you more luck.


Because I can now reveal that you only have 3 more chances to Get Yourself Imprisoned before your power disappears. If you fail to get yourself Imprisoned before or at Imprisonment VI, not only will you not be safe from future Imprisonments but your potential power will disappear for good.


What is your potential power that you could have been using by now?


A Counteragent role. Should you be successful in getting yourself Imprisoned, after every Imprisonment, starting with that one, you get to investigate one person. The restriction is that you must ask: "Is Person ____ a member of Spy Group _____?" I will tell you yes or no.


To earn this power you must get yourself Imprisoned before it's too late. Good luck.

[Judge Sam]

Recall that, should you be Imprisoned, it will not be revealed that you were "saved" just that no one was Imprisoned. Only that group of Spies will know that their choice didn't go through, and they won't be told why it didn't go through.

[Gordy]

Well as long as no one knows my role disappears, I am practically safe every round.

[Gordy]

Sorin the Seeker (7:15:10 PM): you were selected to be Imprisoned
Sorin the Seeker (7:15:15 PM): you are safe; your powers
Sorin the Seeker (7:15:18 PM): are now on.
spies4Gordy (7:14:24 PM): thanks. I thought a psyhcic saved someone
spies4Gordy (7:14:43 PM): I can't copy and past this to anyone right?
Sorin the Seeker (7:18:47 PM): right
Sorin the Seeker (7:18:53 PM): you can't

Just in case you get drunk and forget you said to me.

[Candy]

Damn Gordy you never mentioned it had a freaking deadline. No wonder Jeremiah went bonkers.

[Judge Sam]

Oh oops did I call it Activist? lol. Martyr sounds cooler though plus it goes with the theme.


This was actually going to be a role in Spies 3. But it didn't fit and also this role took a lot of thinking on how to get it to work properly which took a long time. So the 9 months while it was in limbo it was always "Get Yourself Imprisoned" in my head, not this activist / martyr stuff lol.


Get yourself imprisoned did have a lot of pitfalls... some of which I hope I patched up with how it was presented. One big problem was that people could just use it as a get out of jail free card and just ignore trying to get themselves imprisoned, which kinda defeats the point. That's why it expired + the role was better the earlier you got it. Or someone could use it by just announcing it and coast along for awhile (which kind of happened here) which I didn't want to happen either. Not that this is without it's drawbacks, I mean wouldn't it be perfect for a Spy to claim to be a Martyr....


Also I think giving this role to Gordy was the biggest mistake I made this game lol. It just wasn't a good fit, and brought out the worst in him in trying to get Imprisoned, which was gone about in totally the wrong way.

[Masaki]

I would have loved having this role.

It would pretty much reward being vocal.

[Beverly]

Thanks for telling me about the role, Gordy Every single bit of it, too.

[Martha]

IMO this is almost as good a role as the "Gift Giver".

I would have loved to have had it (although perhaps not while playing a character like Martha!) I would just have kept it 100% secret from everybody, but made every suspicion I had public. The hardest thing about being a citizen is treading the fine line between making yourself too big a threat to the spies and looking so bad that you put yourself at serious risk of exile. This role frees you of that constraint and just lets you go bull-headed after the spies without fear of imprisonment. And if you do get imprisoned, you get to investigate all of your suspects instead. That's awesome.
