^Ditto!

Well then - sorry I voted for you I will give my vote to my second choice - White Queen

Sorry Thunderbird but some of those votes for Quicksilver left me feeling icky. I should have stuck with my original suspicion that others latched onto for their own votes.

I am voting Vision bc he is saying a lot of the same things I am thinking or posting.[/b]

White Queen and Avalanche its good to have you back with your thoughts.

I did not know it was tied (and I broke it) but I still feel good about my vote choice.

Dazzler's vote has just gave me the worst kind of vibe. She quotes one post of Quicksilver who was responding to me and then uses it to make her vote without bothering to check roles or facts. Seems idk bandwagon-y.

I am Voting Thunderbird Idk if White Queen is good or not but I do know she is silenced and voting this way with no explanation is all sorts of strange.

that should read "did NOT care"^^ to Quicksilver

I wish I could make potions to bring people back, like Deathlok.

Sunfire wrote:@ Sebastian - can you better explain your vote for Banshee?

I guess Banshee could be good, since he explained.

I will change my vote to Cable.

So you are going to completely ignore my post response with questions?

Your style of play is different to me. I am not quite sure how to take you the tone just seems idk what word I want but I guess confused, but yet you state things so matter of factly. Just different. Confused sureness! That's it. That's how your posts read to me.


Thunderbird - whoa! I do not care for his vote without explanation.


Quicksilver - I appreciate all the responses you have given but I am just still sooo unsure of your motives for speaking out about Indy's so strongly like at first you did care about a 7 man baddie team. Until I said something. If you read your own posts you will see you kept saying yopu wanted to get rid of indy's. You wanted to lynch one today. The only thing holding me back is the people who came out of the woodwork and latched onto you. I makes me feel icky about them. Dazzler and Hawkeye spring to mind.

I have a few minutes left to ponder.

Linky - Mojo LOL you just called your own self out

I think you're trying to trick people into thinking you feel sorry about Deathlok so I want to vote for you.

I think the White Queen is good.

Can you say why or point to a post?

BTW For anyone looking this is his reasoning for his Banshee vote.

Linky - k but why do you HAVE to lynch and Indy TODAY?

I don't HAVE to do anything, I was trying to explain how dangerous they were. I like to read through roles to keep in mind different abilities. I want all 10 gone, any of them will do today. But, I was saying we need to pay attention to try to get the Indy out also. You are reading way too into it Scarlet. I'm Civ and trying to help, take a chill pill.

No u

Sunfire wrote:My thoughts are that White Queen and Avalanche are the two silenced.

On Havok: I don't really have much to add except that if he was scum, I would think he would PM the host the question about the tie instead of openly asking in the thread. And, since he did openly ask, maybe it was a slip. Don't really know or have a strong opinion on the matter.

@ Quicksilver: I agree that there are most likely scum among the quiet players, there usually are. Then again, there are usually scum who are quite talkative as well. I think if we look only to the quiet players we are just as likely to lynch a townie just as we are scum.

@ whoever asked if those who voted for How to Spot Imposters had any info on who to vote for today. We are not allowed to share such info, remember?

Aha! here it is. He states straight away that Avalanche and White Queen are indeed silenced.

Also funny you think like Quicksilver, that there is most likely baddies among the low posters - there usualy are. Too funny tbh. I have hosted plenty of times and 90% of the time low posters are indeed civ.I do like the way you covered your ass at the end of that paragraph.

it was Quicksilver.

i'm curious to ask him though, what gave him the impression that voting that particular option might have provided such a thing, that is a very specific question to ask.

Because if you look at my posts, I wanted to vote both for that and Wealthy that I ended up voting for and wanted some insight into if that option helped. I know you can't specifically tell me what info anyone got, but I thought maybe the people who got that option had guidance who the attention for this poll should be on was all.
After all, I can't share if I had anything with my option either. (Hides the giant stacks of money behind my legs)

I forgot to ask Quicksilver why he did not answer me about this when I had asked him twice about it before they did.
I want to know if you are afraid of what I may learn about you? And if you cannot info dump why would you ask others to do it?

someone pointed out who was silenced they pin pointed 2 players but with so many who haven't posted Idk how they would know that. I have been so much I forget the player and wil search for the post now.

Yeah there are alot absent players something that is so frustrating for those who are playing but even more frustrating for a host. I mean why even sign up if you are not going to play?

I hope more will post and answer questions I have out there to help me with this lynch.

Quicksilver - why do you "NEED" to lynch an Indy TODAY?
Your words not mine.

So you don't get my point?

You are focusing on 2 when you should be focused on 10 of them. My point 7>2 or 3

Forgot to add about the bolded As a baddie how do you focus on civs? Just curious.
That staement just pops out at me as well as your need to know about my poll choice.
So full of wifom

Havok wrote:Epignosis: Was the lynch a tie?

Catching up that definitely stands out to me also. The vote was clearly posted in the polls and Deathlok had the majority. So either Havok expected a different outcome because he/she knows something, or some type of manipulation Havok may have done to the votes didn't turn out as expected is my thought.
I'm looking at Havok or Polaris so far today...

Boy, you just jumped right on there, didn't ya?

lol, yes, he did.

I'm not trying to "set up" Polaris to get lynched. I'm voicing my opinions on the game. I am suspicious of Polaris. I'm not trying to hide that.

No not hiding your suspicion just using an already made suspicion yourself to distract some of the focus off of you imo since you were already being questioned. See below:

Havok wrote:
How can you say that that question isn't civvie friendly? It sounds like you are saying that it could have only been a tie for civvie reasons? You should look over the role list. Wolverine is not the only role with vote manipulation.

The way I look at it is that it was Day 1. No night actions had yet occurred. The only two roles, barring secrets, that have naturally occurring vote weirdness are Wolverine and Cyclops. So with no Magneto or Sentinel or Omega Red manipulations in play since it was Day 1, your question seemed engineered to potentially reveal a shortlist of who could be one of our most important roles. That is absolutely not a civ-friendly question to have asked.

Any other Day, yeah go for it, there will be a ton of vote weirdness. But not yesterday…

For which I totally agree with Vision. Any other day.

Not to say Polaris with his non vote isn't suspicious bc tbh with them being so forthright about it throws me off a bit.

Longshot wrote:Quicksilver, just to clarify your post what do you mean by Polaris's ingenuity? I saw the post about not caring that she didn't vote but where does the ingenuity come in? Also, what are you seeing that makes one of them a possible indy?

Polaris "not caring" about missing the vote because he/she didn't have anyone to vote for. I know Indy characters have their own agendas, but to me if someone were Civ, they would be trying to help because every vote counts. If they were bad, they would vote to help make sure one of their teammates stayed alive and get someone Civ out. But, if they were Indy, it could go either way. So I think either Polaris is bad where neither of his/her teammates were on the line to die, so they cared less. OR, Polaris may be an Indy and cared less because someone would die that wouldn't help their cause. Just how I'm feeling here. Professor X urged us to step up and work together, so I'm trying to think things out this time and be more confident in who I vote for to get us back on our A game.

Like I said, I did not intend to miss the vote deadline, but I didn't feel particularly bad about it either. I dunno why you think casting a worthless vote is more ideal. I know it is important to vote for the sake of later vote records, but I still don't think that justifies it. And please use the correct quotes. I said I did not feel bad about missing the vote, not that I didn't care.

Also, are y'all going to actually read and respond to my posts, or just continue to speculate and post the same things over again?

I don't think I have ever seen anyone do this openly. It's weird for me to try and process. I get why Polaris is clarifying to them because of the wording but to me they do kinda mean the same thing. I am not sure a baddie would unnecessarily be so bold as to say outright I didn't feel bad about missing the vote when they could as easily say Sorry I missed the vote and leave it there. Something to watch for sure and remember, I mean vote records can be quite important normally but in a game made specifically for vote manipulation I don't know how much use they will be, only time will tell.

Quicksilver's seems to be very fixated on Indy's. There is a 7 member baddie team that I am much more worried about. They have secrets. I mean 7 members!! There are only 3 Indy's. 3!! Only 2 of which need be dead for civ's to win. So really only 2 Indy's to worry over. So why Quicksilver are you focused on 2 Indy's vs 7 mafia? About my poll pick (How to Spot Impostor's) unfairly it is not anything I can share outright I can only use it as a guide. It is also something that needs a couple of days to make more sense of it imo. Are you worried about what it could tell me?


Avalanche - where are you? It will worry me if you go quiet after being under so much scrutiny yesterday. What are your thoughts going into the lynch?

I wish White Queen would post. I have a feeling she is silenced every time I looked down when reading back she was there.

Yay no death!

I am looking at votes and posts so far.

And trying to wrap my mind around all the possible scenarios with the voting manipulations that will/could be in play today.

Linky Epi - somehow I am not surprised. lol

RIP Deathloc

Longshot - touche'

I voted How to Spot Imposters bc it would be a cool ability to have.

I am voting for Longshot

He seemed to be looking at Sebastian for a reason for all appearances is a random vote. I do not know why or how you would ask someone to explain an apparent random vote. There is so much happening thread wise it looks to me like you want to avoid the mayhem.

I forgot to add I don't think you will probably not get an answer from such a low poster

Longshot wrote:I have asked Sebastian Shaw to explain his* voice twice now and still he hasn't answered, not to mention he didn't put up a reason in the first place. We haven't had a night so it can't be a force and he can't be silenced so I'm wary. I'm going to put a vote on him for the time being and see if he shows up before the lynch.

Also, I don't see Avalanche as bad because I don't feel like a baddie would draw this much attention to himself (maybe s/he's fooling me and doing that because s/he knows some people will say s/he wouldn't do it) and if s/he's fooling me I've learned a lesson about whoever s/he is.

I also think the "he" was just a gender mistake. I probably would have called Polaris he as well. I don't pay attention much to avatars and would probably default to he since i wouldn't have known any better.


*I'm making the assumption someone named Sebastian is a he.

You asked someone who has made 2 posts in the game one of which looks like a random vote for today to explain his vote?
He said that his avi looked like Spiderman but he thinks he is bad - so what kind of explanation are you looking for?

Deathlok wrote: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."

While I do understand your reasoning I disagree with it since it has led you to vote for me.

But worst case scenario is not that you would more or less trust Polaris.
Worst case scenario would be that you helped lynch a civ and would be under the gun day 2, with no time to more or less trust Polaris

I don't really have anything to add here that I have not already said. I just wanted to add my 2 cents worth and say all that talk about Sebastian Shaw was quite hilarious!!

Avalanche - you were all over the place with your Morlock talk day 0 and still talking about it today. I am not one to vote solely on day 0 poll stuff but if the weird attraction to Morlocks continues then you may get my vote day 2. What conformists are you talking about when you use that word? All 10 school voters?

There are parts of this thread I do not wish to ever read or see on this forum ever again. Enough said about that.

we still have plenty of time so I will be waiting to vote and using this time to take a closer look at the thread than I just did.

Havok wrote:Well, like everyone, I was hoping Polaris could shed some light on the Danger Room ID stuff, but I think really that was being a tad too hopeful. Epig would not just lay it out there for us that easily, and the theme of today's Danger Room session is to exercise our minds...so yeah.

The only thing that has caught my eye so far is Scarlett Witch using "his" while referring to Polaris as Polaris is quite obviously a female character and if SW didn't know who Polaris was I would think "her" would have been used.

Maybe it is quite obv to you but not to me. Since before this game started I have been reading about the X-men comics/movies/tv show. I have read all I could find. Last time I was told no information would be needed to play I was surprised that the side games at night revolved around knowledge of the subject of the game. I am not and did not take that chance this game.

Plus I am not one to notice boobs I only notice dicks

I referred to Polaris as a he bc the name sounds manly. Sorry I remembered wrong.

You saw nothing else to note from Day 0?


White Queen - I singled out Rasputin bc of his Day 0 vote for Morlocks - which I found oddest along with the timing (it was just after Avalanche requested someone to vote for Morlocks with him)

Spiral wrote:

The Vision wrote:Considering how many players are in this game, things are awfully quiet…

I, personally, don't have much to say. Avalanche certainly has quieted down, though.

Yeah he quieted down after he requested someone else to vote for Morlock tunnels and Rasputin magically appeared and voted for Morlock Tunnels as well. Giving no thoughts to what others had said before he voted.

Idk what I think about them voting together yet.

Avalanche has certainly got my eye and now Rasputin a bit as well.

Nice post as usual Epi.

So Polaris has an ID number for the Danger Room? I dunno what I think about it just yet. In the game (Into the Danger Room - New X-Men) there is a point system each member has it's own points that mean different stuff but no ID numbers. Been awhile I am trying to remember. I do not have any idea how the points would work in relation to this game though. (Reminds me of a boo game and well this could get really exciting if that is the case.)

Polaris knows nothing but had to change his signature. Did the Host tell you to change it or did you do it yourself Polaris? Not that it will tell us anything but I want to note everything about The Danger Room.

I thought yesterdays poll votes were quite interesting to say the least.

Also the picture you have for Morlocks is actually from a movie called The Time Machine in 1960.
See:



Second here is a picture of actual Morlocks:



So you are misleading a bit.

The Morlocks actually at one point are led by Storm. Most of them end up staying with the XMen so why do I want to fight someone who may down the road help?

I need that option to win the poll in order to fight Morlocks first, yes, which is what I want to do. What about this are you still not getting?

What aren't you getting? I am suspicious of you pushing that particular option.
I do think I have been clear.
