So you want to lynch them whether they are baddies or LMS? LMS without a kill is better than a civvie, but i would still rather find a baddie. And even if we are to accept that they have BTS now, how do you know it is baddie BTS, not civvie BTS?

Did either LC or Llama land on a utility?

The whole Llama LC theory is interesting and I can definitely see the reasoning. They could as of this moment have a set of 3, it's not unlikely especially in light of the auto-find LC used (but then again that means that they had to have gotten lucky on night 1, what are the odds?). However, the biggest problem I have with the theory, is the conclusion of it. Like SVS says, I don't see how we should care *this much* if there are a set with hotel buying powers and such when you compare it to the money and power the baddies have right now. Sure, they could also be a baddie set, but again: what are the odds.
I'm just a little bit torn right now as I have no very firm suspicions of my own right now as to who are bad, I have been trying to follow the money (as I still think the money people spend can be the biggest clue as to who are bad and have too much money on their hands), but so far nothing super concrete stands out yet.
So maybe in the end it might be better to lynch someone from a suspected set rather than mistakingly lynching a civvie with no set...

I know you're new here, the posting is of high volume, and it's still early in the game. Nonetheless, I just want to confirm: You say you have absolutely no thoughts on anyone being bad right now? Nothing has stuck out to you at all? I know you mentioned thoughts on juliets earlier, but those were completely addressed, you feel?

That would not be better. I am not in a set, I am a Civvie with a Civvie BTSC partner. This game is designed so that the Civvies get an advantage through BTSC pairs. Don't look away from baddies and lynch me, please.

The person I am mostly looking to right now is juliets, now I am nor familair with the style juliets normally plays, but looking through the posts I find it weird that most of them are either questions directed at other players who they find suspicous without really contributing anything substantial or info about votes and/or money. To me this feels like a good baddie tactic, posting without revealing too much about yourself so I am gonna go ahead and vote juliets. I'm not 100% convinced but so far this has spiked my baddie-sensor the most.

HannaK, my mafia style is to ask questions. Also, I got lynched once for being too nice. These two things are hallmarks of my style, i.e., regardless of my alignment I ask a lot of questions - that's how I process information - and I am normally polite when playing. You can ask the people who play with me often and I'm pretty sure they will say the same. I'm not sure what you mean about revealing anything about myself - did you read the post I just posted about who I am thinking about right now?

Speaking of that TH, TH there is one other person who has caught my eye depending on how he answers my question and that is llama. I forgot to include that in my last post.

What happens if no one bids on a property?
Because if we decide we don't bid and baddies do, we know they're baddies, and if they're too scared to bid on them too, they don't get them?

I cant imagine any baddie actaully doing that though. Its a good thought not bidding, but what baddie would out themselves that way. Another thought would be to bid last minute so you cant be nkd for the card that night and then sell it as LC said he would do.

Anyway, day 1 votes are always hard and I hate to vote random. So far I don't really see any of the big BTSC debaters as bad per se, so I am gonna vote for Made for bidding quite a lot of money on a special power but backing out when Elochin bid 250, if I were a baddie I wouldn't want people to think I had too much money on my hands either. It's not a very good reason, but it's day 1 and it is a reason nonetheless.

Where do you live?

The thing that is confusing me, I guess, is all the worrying people are doing about what MIGHT happen if civs form monopolies and become indies rather than worrying about two actual baddie teams that have kills. And I just reread the Utilities, those guys are super powerful. They know roles, plus they have a bidding advantage if those known cards come up for sale.

Team 2: Utilities (2)
This team starts the game with BTSC. Kills even nights. Cannot be NKed by the Railroads. Any player who lands on a utility will have their property learned by the utilities, and if they are ever lynched, the utilities will have $300 applied to a bid on the property.
