Exiling #1

[Judge Sam]

EXILING #1

Judge Sam: "Welcome to the first Exiling of Spies: The Infiltration. Last night, one of our homes was brutally broken into and one of our own detained and arrested. He was 'charged' with the crime of conspiracy against the Government, but they provided no evidence and no motive. No one has heard from Andrew since he was taken away in chains and nobody has any ideas where he is. It's unlikely we'll ever see him again.


This is unacceptable. We can not live in constant fear of being tossed in an empty jail cell for no reason at all. We can not survive knowing our friends could be taken away from us at any moment. This must stop.


I have reason to believe that one of us - one of YOU - have tipped off the Government and personally gotten Andrew arrested. There's no way they could have known without an insider in our midst. I've heard rumors from Capital about our city and the war, but I never truly believed them until now. I'll say it - I think that there are Spies within our midst. Some of you are lying to us, pretending to be friends, pretending to find the Spies when you know *exactly* who they are because you ARE them.


Rest assured, we will find out who you are. And you will be forcefully outcast from the city.


It's now time to discover the Spies and Exile them from the Burg. One by one, we will stand up and accuse someone of being a Spy. The person with the most votes will be Exiled from the group - cast out by society and never to be heard of again. Afterwards, we will search through that person's belongings for any Spy activity and we will determine if we've actually gotten one of the Spies.


The Exiling is about to begin."


Sam stands up and grabs a shoebox and begins walking amongst the Citizens. 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: "The votes are in, and it's time to tally."

First vote:









Marion, by Damien.




Second vote:






Caroline, Caroline, Caroline by Caroline






That's three votes Caroline, one vote Marion.


The next vote:









Damien, by Gigi.















Sage, by Dawn.













Damien, by Sage.















Sage, by Josh.





That puts the vote count at:



3: Caroline
2: Sage
2: Damien
1: Marion



The seventh vote to exile goes to:



































Damien, by Mercedes.


Sage, by Monica.


































Damien, by Frank.


Sage, by Depley.



Wow, what a back and forth. Damien and Sage both look like the front runners. We have four votes for each of them, along with 3 for Caroline and 1 for Marion.





The 11th vote?











































Damien, by Gurinder.
















































Sage, by Marion.



































Damien, by Gerta.








































Sage, by Soraya.






Damien... Sage... Damien... Sage... The votes keep going back and forth. We're now at 6 for Damien and 6 for Sage. There's only 3 more votes left to go.



15th Vote:

































































Damien, by DJ.




It's 7-6.


One more vote for Damien and it's clinched.







































































Sage, by Julian.



Oh my. The Burg is truly divided. The town is practically split.


There's only one more vote left to go.



Who will it be?





















































































Damien?






















or Sage?
























The 17th vote and the 1st person Exiled under suspicion of being a Spy is...



















































Damien, by Emma.

Damien, it's you.


The people have Exiled Damien from the city for the crime of being a Spy. You are no longer welcome in the Burg. Please leave immediately.

Judge Sam: "Damien, thank you for playing Spies. I enjoyed reading the backstory for your character and I think it had great potential. I know the timing wasn't the best for you and I wish you luck in other games. Goodbye."


Damien - Please post Final Words in your confessional immediately.


Damien takes one last look at his fellow townspeople. Saddened by being suspected of a Spy, he grabs his supplies and his compass and heads out into the wilderness, disappearing into the sunset. You will never see him again.


It is now time to find out if Damien was truly a Spy. If he was, we will rejoice in becoming one step closer to a peaceful village. If not, we just cast out an innocent soul, someone just like us. Someone who wanted to eliminate the Spies just as bad as we do.



Damien was a....

CITIZEN.

Oh, my. What have we done?
