This entire board is your private area to speak your mind. I can absolutely 100% guarantee that throughout the entire game all your private thoughts will remain totally confidential. They will never be revealed in any way until the game is fully completed.
With that in mind, I strongly encourage you to write in your confessional as much as you can! Tell me your strategies. Tell me who you suspect as a Spy. Who you are sure is a Citizen. What happened before and up to the last Exile. Who you trust, who you lied to, what you think of the game and other people.
It is very important to keep your confessional updated. First, it is the only way I have any idea what is happening in the game. Without your input I am completely clueless since so much of the game happens on AIM. Second, it provides enjoyment for both yourself, myself, and everybody after the game is over. I love hearing your thoughts! Treat this like a journal and tell me all about what is happening to you in the game.
In addition to this, you are strongly encouraged to copy and paste all notable conversations you have with people into your confessional. There are many ways to do this. Whenever you finish a conversation, copy and paste it here. Or you could use AIM's automatic logging feature (hit control+H with that person's AIM window open) and just copy/paste them all at once every so often. I know it's difficult to remember and sometimes frustrating to complete, but I really appreciate it and it takes only a few minutes. If you find this too burdensome, you may try harder to copy and paste interesting or important strategic conversations you have. There are many programs that will automatically log conversations for you, such as the newest version of AIM, Pidgin, Trillian, Middleman, etc. Providing transcripts of conversations is very helpful and it is appreciated.
I will also use your confessional to give you private information. You can ask questions or make comments. You will vote in your confessional and answer private questions I ask in here. Most of the time I will not use IM, e-mail, or the board's Private Messages to give you important information... everything I need to tell you personally gets posted in here. Unless it is an emergency and you need a response ASAP, I prefer that you post information you need to tell me in your confessional.
I recommend you start a thread entitled “Episode One - Confessionals” and begin writing your thoughts there. Maybe you want to give each Episode a snazzy title. It is also recommended you create a thread for all your conversations in Episode One, perhaps cleverly titled "Episode One - Conversations." Please divide your thoughts up by episodes, creating a new thread after each Exile, so it is easier to accumulate at the end. If you can’t think of anything to write about, think about the following:
* Who you think is a Spy and why
* Your reaction / thoughts towards events that have just occurred
* What happened leading up to the last Exile
* Juicy gossip you just heard
* Your future plans for the game
* What you really think about your fellow players
You can bet that I will be reading everything you post, and while I will not respond to everything, I will be paying attention. Reading your confessionals is immensely rewarding. All confessionals will be revealed at the end of the game. When that happens you don't want to be the one with a junky confessional. Use your confessional to express yourself and tell your own personal story about the game!
Good luck and kick ass,
Sam
