These were my PMs:

Agent Michi,
Your mission is to infiltrate the island at the following coordinates: [REDACTED]. The CIA believes there is a threat brewing at his location based off of reports from other spies.

Once you have arrived, you will need to maintain the utmost secrecy. We are aware of other spies among the populace, and while some are friendly, all should be assumed hostile until otherwise cleared by the department. Once you have ascertained what is taking place on the island, report back with your information.


So in plain terms:

You are the Spy.

Agent Michi,

When we assigned you this mission, we indicated we were aware of other spies infiltrating the same area. We have been monitoring your mission, and have found some disturbing chatter on the airwaves. After days of decoding, we have found out the code name of a foreign spy. One Mavin Ignatia, but we hear he also goes by Ike.

Effective immediately, you are to find and eliminate this threat to your mission and national security. All force is authorized.

Godspeed.

This message has been encrypted and sent through our most secure channels to reach you. For further security, it will self destruct in the next five minutes.
Your Plain Text Translation:

Welcome to the first mini-quest of the game! Participation in this event is purely optional and will not effect the game should you choose to ignore it.

This quest requires you to:
1. Locate the spy known as Mavin "Ike" Ignatia (Submit a guess to the host to complete this task)
2. Publicly eliminate the spy

Rewards:
1. One yes or no question to the host about anything at all
2. Access to all of the player's secret intel

Mr. Rowen Motit. Wintermoot. I finally get it @Ruguo LOL

Greetings, Sapphiron.
Effective immediately, NIS is moving you to a new assignment. Your mission is to infiltrate the island at the following coordinates: [REDACTED].

Once you have arrived, you will need to maintain the utmost secrecy. No one can know you are a Spy. Once you have ascertained what is taking place on the island, report back with your information.

Failure is not an option.

So in plain terms:

You are the Spy.

Kane is a Canadian spy from CSIS

Heads! And clearly it must be a Canadian coin from the Canadian spy, yes.

You learn the following:

Gerrick is NOT German, English, Russian, Chinese, Israeli, nor Australian
Wintermoot is NOT a leader of a spy organization
BSR is NOT Australian nor Japanese

Pengu’s files then

At the time of his Death, Michi had only determined that not every player is a spy, and that a character named Mavin "Ike" Ignatia was not Dawcreek.

However, his agency was aware of the presence of three other five eyes agents, two of which are still alive. New Zealand is not in the game.

Let’s give this a try, BSR is English, Daw is Australian

BSR is, in fact, english. He is the MI6 agent.

Daws, on the other hand, is NOT the Australian.

By order of this British coin, you shall receive BSR's notes. I hope they will help you as we enter the endgame.

Gerrick is NOT AISE, but AISE is in the game. He is ALSO NOT German or Swedish, or BND.
Daws is NOT ASIS or KGB/FSB

Idk if the "try again in 3 turns" limit is applicable at this moment, but some additional tries before the final info or smth
Gerrick is Japanese
Daw is Italian
Hapi is Russian
Wintermoot is the island native

Another one bites the dust?

And yeah, the turn cap on guessing is currently lifted.

Daws is the Italian from AISE

Hapi is not Russian, Gerrick is not Japanese, and Wintermoot is not an island native.

Gerrick is North Korean
Hapi is Russian
Wintermoot is an actor or Australian

Moot's gone, Gerrick is not North Korean

Coolio okay seriously the last one for the night

Hapi is an island native

You're very close on Hapi, but I choose not to accept for reasons only I can know until the next 3 hours have passed.

Oh dang, we could just keep listing off countries for each player? I thought it was like a "if you're wrong, you lose" type thing.

Also, I was lucky with rolling Poland.

Yeah not once did Poland cross my mind

but I didn't want to exploit the constant listing off, to simply list all the 193 UN member states

There was a cooldown for every other incorrect guess except in the endgame, which admittedly got a little fineky and could have been designed slightly better. I was pretty much rolling with "If it made sense for you to guess it, it's fine, but if you come out of nowhere without me being able to track a thought process, it bad"

This was an interesting game to say the least.  I did not realize until after our first elimination that there was more than one spy.  I tried for as long as I could to eliminate players but all of my guesses were incorrect.  After Michi was voted off, I figured that we all had some sort of country connection.  Then I realized all of the spies so far had been from spy organizations so then I started thinking of acronyms (and googling spy organizations since I do not know many) and guessing if players were members of these organizations.  Right after I started adding those to my guess was when I was eliminated.

Before I made those connections, my first thoughts were that we were at a farmer's market (that idea came from the early questions and answers relating to eggs, farming, and cleanliness) or a prison.  Then I was guessing players were different characters from media.  The guesses should be fun to read but I will share them later because I need to sleep.

Almost all of my PMs (mostly guesses)

Greetings, Kane.

Some early role guesses:

Sapphiron is a Janitor.

ogunbiyi is a former farmer who is the son of BraveSirRobin and left to do his own thing.

BraveSirRobin is a farmer who keeps a lot of animals and had ogunbiyi do a lot of the slaughtering of those animals while he is here to sell his products.

I'm absolutely loving the creativity there, but no.

All three players remain in play. Please wait three questions before making another guess.

A couple of role guesses (Not Wintermoot or Gerrick those are more statements and notes for myself ):

Michi is some kind of missionary or religious leader.

Gerrick is someone who is "down to earth" but I am not sure aside from that.

Wintermoot is obviously someone busy but I am not sure specifically.

This guess for Hapi is a long shot but maybe she is some type of damsel in distress or a princess locked up in a tower (or somewhere else)

I have a suspicion that this is a prison but I am not going to officially guess that since I am not sure.

For now that is all.

All players remain in play.

Please wait (insert number of serious guesses here[I think 2?]) questions before guessing again.

Yep 2 is correct.  Darn, I was pretty sure on Michi, good to know.

Okay I have two guesses for Michi which this time include a theme.  If either of these are correct than I will at least have somewhere to build off of when guessing the other characters and later on when guessing what is going on.

Friar Tuck from Robin Hood

Father Mulcahy from M.A.S.H.

Neither guess is correct. Please wait two questions before guessing again.

Nice to know.  Interesting that Dawcreek happened to be a spy.

I have two more serious guesses for Pengu again (the only player I have more than just a wild guess for).  One of them is Jesse Custer from Preacher.  (I can tell he is a religious figure or just some sort of devout character)  The other far less likely one is Alistair from Dragon Age.

I also have a serious guess for Hapi: Princess Fiona from Shrek.

I'm afraid you're getting colder, my friend.

Please wait 3 questions before guessing again.

Yep I'm pretty much grasping at straws from what I am gathering from the posts.  I would have been shocked if Alistair was correct despite Michi seemingly acting a little like him (cheerful but without the joking) .  I recently saw and heard a bit of the first Shrek movie (including parts I hadn't really watched before) and Hapi was reminding me of Fiona from there.  I am still thinking she is some sort of princess character (this is not a guess don't worry).  I haven't even watched Preacher , that guess was just guessing some religious character from something I have heard of.

Well hopefully these next posts will be more illuminating for my efforts to understand the players and situation.  I feel like the former is more likely than the latter since the characters I am noticing seem to be from multiple media sources.  Just have to figure out what that connection is.

Are all players a spies?  (This is a character guess for all of the remaining players, not a guess as to what is going on)

No.

For future guesses about other spies, you must be more specific as to their roles.

Everyone has a unique role.

...I'm not even gonna make you wait to guess again, I'm loving tonight's chaos too much.

In that case I will make four more guesses all of which involve Gerrick.
The first that they are a German character affiliated with a German spy organization.
The second that they are an English character associated with an English spy organization.
The third that they are a Chinese character associated with a Chinese spy organization.
And finally that they are a Russian character associated with a Russian spy organization.

My reasoning for those guesses is his answer saying his hometown has a lot of churches, palaces, and castles and those countries all seem to have a lot of those buildings.

Close. So very very close.

Poor Gerrick being targeted left and right.

Please wait 4 questions before your next array of guesses.

More guesses.

Gerrick is an English character working for an Israeli spy organization.

Wintermoot is the leader of a spy organization.

Sapphiron is a Russian spy.

Nope. Getting colder there.

Please wait 3 questions before guessing again

Is BraveSirRobin a spy from ASIS?

BraveSirRobin is not the spy from ASIS.

Please wait one question before guessing again.

Is Gerrick a spy from ASIS?

Is BraveSirRobin a spy from CIRO?

What is it with people and thinking Gerrick is ASIS?

That is a negative on both fronts, I'm just amused.

Please wait two questions before guessing again.

In my case, it was because they had mentioned having not been to Australia in a while and probably having flown Quantas before along with saying their country is not landlocked.

As can be seen Michi had me fooled and I was confused by a lot of yall with my guesses.

Excellent game Ruguo, when I did that Harry Potter Spyfall, I was originally trying to have something like this at first until I ran out of ideas for how to make it work.  My other plan there was multiple locations but that did not work either in my mind.  Nice job making this work.
