This game is going fantastic! I'm really excited about all aspects about it. Huge numbers of people are active. People are really getting on AIM and really talking with each other, it's great. This game is going to be phenomenal.
Had a little bit of a scare when 2 of my Spies didn't show up the 1st two days. Thankfully both have shown up since then and I really think they will be more active in the upcoming days. It's a great way of hiding.
Spies are doing fantasically. The only one anybody suspects is Julian, and since kinda everybody is a suspect, it may just be natural. Everybody's hoodwinked.
All of these players are so unique and I really love how they are playing the game: Gurinder (Belle), Sage (Jon), Gerta (Yves), DJ (Trey), Julian (James), Dawn (Amy), Monica (DC), Soraya (Chris), AND Josh (Zach). Additionally Gigi (Tori), Mercedes (Karl), Emma (Lexie) I know are really into the game and I can see good futures for them. I'll have to talk about them more later.

I want to take a second to say something real quick, and I have no shame/embarassment in doing so. I am just truly shocked. I absolutely cannot believe that ALL of my players from Asteria, all of the ones I trusted and am friends with and played great games in Asteria, ALL of them are the worst idlers for this game. It blows my mind, I never would have imagined.
I have all sorts of people who I've never met, who have never played for me, who like even haven't played Survivor games before. And most of them are more active than my players.
When this is opened I will feel no shame, because this is an accurate perception of what they've done in the first episode (which may change in the 2nd-9th episodes by the time you read this).
Caroline (Jamie) - borderline inactive. She's just so busy. She never signs on her AIM name unless I prod her, then she's on for 10 minutes before leaving. Isn't putting herself in this.
Really incredibly sad that she of all people, one of my best friends, would go inactive in a game she was SO SO excited for. Literally the most excited I've seen of anybody, ever. If you're so busy, don't play. People think she is inactive.Damien (Josh) - borderline inactive. He may even be voted out tonight for being inactive. Only went on the AIM name like once for 15 minutes. =(
Posted a few things, but not much. It's really sad. Maybe it's the alias thing.Gigi (Tori) - didn't even sign on and meet most of the people until the 2nd or 3rd day. Still, she may be more active as the game goes on, and has put forth an effort recently. Also online at different times.
Frank (Mark) - completely inactive. Would never have guessed. He never gets on his alternate AIM name and doesn't even try to talk to people and play the game. Shameful.
Depley (Ty) hasn't even logged on since the first day of the game, Sunday night! He doesn't even know who has been imprisoned and votes are due in one hour. I really hope he goes if he doesn't become active, as I can't stand idlers.

Sigh. It's just so crazy, that all of these people who I've never met and that I don't know, are going WAY WAY above and beyond what is necessary and giving this game their 5000%. Gurinder (Belle), Sage (Jon), Gerta (Yves), DJ (Trey), Julian (James), Dawn (Amy), Monica (DC), Soraya (Chris), AND Josh (Zach) are all people I don't know too well and are all absolutely FANTASTIC players. They are the backbone of this game right now. Dawn (Amy) freaking has 3 kids, 2 jobs, a boyfriend, and she still does this! I
them all. They are truly good players.I will write more later.
