Praying the remaining Spies are smart!

If Candy's "Oh yeah I investigated Beverly 2 rounds ago and she's a Spy" wasn't suspicious enough, now we have Gordy spilling EVERYTHING. But notice, he tells what the options were for everything EXCEPT for who's identity was to be revealed. Hopefully the remaining Spies are smart enough to read between the lines and take Candy out NOW. Because I'm willing to bet the Priest came out to Gordy. And the last thing we need is a trust base to start forming. Smash it. SMASH IT NOW!!!

Lol, definitely agreed.

Johan? JOHAN?! *throws things* He better have had a role!

[Judge Sam]

dont tell anyone but the traditionalist actually had it on candy until today

[Naomi]

wow...

[Angelica]

At first I went 'AHHH!'

Then I saw the post saying the Priest is dead. So in the end, I got what I wanted, the prevention of the Priest/Fatemaker bond. So I'm happy. Go Traditional Spy!!!

... I feel dirty having said that... haha

I did not know the details of the Doctor role until well after I clipped Johan. I didn't know Johan was the Priest, either, until after I clipped him. So what went down with my Imprisonment, you may be wondering. It's a fairly complicated scenario.

During episode 8, I was tipped off by Kip and Johan that Candy was going to try and take me out sometime during Episode 9. In fact, my very first note in my Confessional for Episode 9 revolves around how I would only give myself props for my performance in this game if I were to survive that episode, which, of course, I did not.

Anyway, I wish I could still access the Spy HQ, because I made a thread in there titled "Spy Window" right after Naomi left, to give the HQ a purpose even during those lonely, lonely times. The thread's purpose was to plot out my imprisonments(the final post in there came after Candy role-claimed. I firmly warn you guys NOT to read that one). Included in the thread was a series of updated "Remaining Players" pyramids, With/Against/Uncertainty lists, and personal notes regarding potential Orthodoxy Spies/roles.

My original plan was to clip Candy via Exile, though it fell through when Damon was brought up as a suspect, which, if that fire burned long enough, would have split the votes beyond what would have allowed the near impossible task of exiling Candy to withstand. The other problem : Gordy - it became clear to me that Gordy would not target Candy as he would have had in the past, which was a dependency I stupidly relied on.

With Damon under the spotlight, and what I feared to be a blindside for me in the making, I decided to take advantage of the Leon fiasco that had built up for a long while earlier in the game, as well as the one aspect of Candy I could use against her : her immature treatment to other players. This allowed me to pawn Damon's vote, instead of immediately losing it by going after him. The With/Against/Uncertainty looked something like this :

WITH :

AGAINST :

DANGEROUS UNCERTAINTIES :

I don't think I actually had it looking this way originally, because I wasn't banking on Gordy going to Candy by default, but this is what it came down to - we needed Abrams' vote to get this to go through by the time my Imprisonment came up. Imprisoning Candy would have resulted in an eventual retaliation against me. I knew she suspected me, and I saw what happened to Ralph. Yes, it's WIFOM, but people don't accept that as an argument in this game. "yeah that could be but it's pretty convenient that candy happened to go when Masaki was scared he would be exiled by her." Why is WIFOM not accepted? Because 1 on 1 conversations are allowed in this game. If someone defends me by tossing out the idea of WIFOM, they would be considered a potential ally "working hard" to defend my case.

I set Candy as my default the night before the decision was due. The next day, I decided to place Faizah as my choice. Sam said I needed to give him a list in case one was given an immunity, so my list read :

1) Faizah
2) Johan
3) Candy

Sam notified me that Faizah was ineligible for Imprisonment because he had decided to revoke cross-imprisonments because of the improbability of a Spy win with that being allowed(thinking about it, 1 Spy would remain if he hadn't had done that). So Johan went.

Ok, so that's why I didn't go with Candy. But why the other two? I decided instead I needed to remove what I call a "Candy-Pawn vote" - someone who flocks to Candy and votes how she wants them to. Faizah, I figured, could be linked to Damon because of how they interacted in his thread. Johan, on the other hand, was a definitely Candy-Pawn vote who could not be linked back to me.

OF COURSE, right after Imprisonment, a double exile was announced, resulting in the events that led up to me being exiled.

I lol'd at the abrams picture next to dangerous!

[Masaki]

Yeah, haha, but it was his vote that was the deciding factor at that point. But things always change, and they did.
