Sunfire, just curious. If you don't think it's that big of a deal, why are you voting based on it? Do you think pointing potential slips out is a baddie move? I myself don't agree with his suspicion at this point, based on that reason, but I do not see why he is bad for having such a suspicion. I have seen baddies make similar slips, it is not unheard of.

White Queen wrote:I also am missing, however, how pointing out possible slips is bad behavior, either.

Thank you! I also see why people would not agree with my suspicion, and that's fine. Personally, I think it's the best Day 1 suspicion I've had in a while, and I clearly articulated why in my earlier post. I am having trouble with why having that suspicion makes people think I'm bad, and I don't think anyone has said why yet. It's been all "Well, doing that seems kinda baddie...I'm suddenly considering voting Deathlok." and NOT all "Here's why it looks bad to me."

I won't be back on before the poll ends (busy day).

Linki: Yay, I was hoping I'd hear from Sunfire. I think you're using the opposite of logic, whatever that is. Isn't pointing out slips and finding baddies the entire point of the game?? I'd say if I wasn't doing so I would certainly be a baddie.

I also dislike that you're distancing yourself from your vote and using the "it's only Day 1, anyway" thing. If you're sure enough I'm bad to vote for me, stand up for your opinion!

I'm guilty of this as well Though these are sockpuppet games and I'm not familiar with the X-Men characters either.

I didn't think this was weird, but now that Polaris is defending Scarlett Witch's misgendering of her I do. I know we're not allowed to reveal our secret identities in BTSC, but I've been in BTSC before and it's not that hard to mistakenly let a personal detail slip, or to read someone as male or female even if they really aren't. I mean, I've figured out 2-3 secret identities already, and I only have access to the thread, where people are kinda careful about what they say. The defense makes me think it could be a baddie slip-up, and that Polaris came to Scarlett's defense because they don't want to lose a team member so early.

So that's who I'll be looking at today.

Linki: Ummm.... (sidles quietly out of room)

Your logic is confusing here. You're saying that because we are not allowed to reveal identities, my IRL gender could have been slipped out by someone other than myself? Anyway, just to see if we can clear this up...

Mr. Epi, are real identies revealed in BTSC?

SEBASTIAN SHAW MAY NOT BE A SOCK! He has posts in Harry Potter, Grimm's, and American Gods too!!!! Maybe others.

Also, he took my plan of voting first.

What the heck is going on here?

Sebastian Shaw is a character in this game whose puppet was in another game, whose name was probably changed for this game, right? Just like the rest of the puppets. Is that what was confusing you?

Thanks for clearing up the sock thing. That does make sense. I should've thought of it.

For the record, I still think it's weird that he's voting and not saying much.

And I wasn't saying it could've been slipped BECAUSE we're not allow to reveal identities, rather DESPITE that. See the host post below.

They are, even if I didn't want them to be.

So I'm gonna go ahead and vote Scarlett Witch. If she's lynched, at best we've caught a baddie and her male friend, at worst I'll more or less feel like I can trust Polaris. Either outcome is better than the traditional Night 1 "Oh, we lynched a civvie and have no information about potential baddies, either."

Marrow, I have no issue with Morlocks.

SEBASTIAN SHAW MAY NOT BE A SOCK! He has posts in Harry Potter, Grimm's, and American Gods too!!!! Maybe others.

Oh, Sebastian Shaw voted already. So there's that.

I thought it was very interesting how Avalance really kept pushing the Morlock Tunnels, when I felt like we had sound logic/advice not to do so. Not sure if he has an ulterior motive or was just being goofy, but I would lean towards the first one.

I think Shadowcat is just casting aspersions. Why would you lean toward the first one? Given everything that's been said, I don't think there's any compelling evidence that fighting Morlocks would've been worse than any other choice, or that Avalanche is doing anything other than causing havoc and/or discussions.

Whew, I almost missed it!

I think The Savage Land_ sounds fun, even though the School has already been picked. So I'll vote there.
