Thanks for asking, I am not out in all parts of my life yet, so I’m some settings I’m using he/him, in others I use they/them. And since my parents still talk to people who I’m not out to at all they use they/them for consistency. Thanks again for asking!
Thanks! I would prefer he/him from those who are comfortable with it.
note: my family will still use they/them so they don’t out me in the real world.
Aww you guys Do like me even though I’m house of MTR lol
So you don’t like me
Okay, fine. I like you. Geeze.
Thanks for jumping in @DivaSmurf - I prefer not to speak to someone else’s pronoun preferences if it’s a setting where they can speak for themselves. But it also didn’t feel right to just be like “Ummm….it’s complicated.” Love you, kiddo!
And, of course, mafia peeps would be the ones to notice the intentional pronoun usage. I love you guys too. Both for noticing and for supporting my kid.
Several years ago now, my first born child informed us that they'd prefer to use the pronoun "they/them/theirs". I admit that this was challenging at first, because my wife and I had so many years of habit in our way of speaking. We had plenty of mistakes, especially with their sisters often correcting us, often harshly. My first born understood the challenge this placed, and once they pointed to their younger sisters that we had intended no disrespect, and the whole point about it was kindness towards identity, it didn't really serve any purpose to harshly admonish us. My youngest agreed to try to be gentler towards us, and we've certainly gotten better about pronoun usage over the past few years. We've still had issues picking our spots as to when to use the "they" vs. calling them by their given name, or saying "my oldest" - particularly as some members in the older generation seem incapable of understanding the preference - and at times it is just easier to get on with the discussion at hand.
So I am more than happy to call you whatever you prefer.
And of course, I totally understand Tildey's comment about it being a lot easier for Diva to explain it than Tildey.
It sounds to me that this has been - and will continue to be - a complicated situation - but from how I read into this, kudos to all of the family for their support. I admit, though, to being curious as to how long this pronoun usage has been going on in your situation, and if Tildey thinks its been easier for herself, MTR, or Future to adapt to DivaSmurf's pronoun request?
In this case it wasn’t about ease as much as it is about autonomy. They’re still figuring out the circumstances & audiences in which they feel comfortable being out. I didn’t want them to feel silenced by me giving an answer that wasn’t quite what they wanted to give and I wanted them to feel empowered to share as much as as little as they felt comfortable sharing.
Diva is out to most of their friend group, their current work, our immediate family, & their boyfriend (and his family). They are not out to our extended family & they don’t feel quite ready to do so yet. We see my parents quite often, though. To avoid an accidental outing we use Diva’s birth name still and they/them pronouns. Once Diva feels ready to be out with their grandparents then we’ll switch to he/him pronouns & their new chosen name.
While Diva being out to us is fairly recent, I don’t feel like the pronouns have been too difficult for any of us. As a family we’ve had the privilege of having a lot of trans people in various levels of our circles. The kids also went to a school that was very trans & LGBTQ+ supportive. So it’s not a practice that is outside of the norm for any of us at this point. We’ve long suspected they were non-binary so the they/them pronouns haven’t been difficult for us at all. We didn’t expect ftm so our brains are probably less primed for that so it may take us longer to fully switch to he/him when it’s time to cross that bridge.
None of us mess up often unless we’ve spent a lot of time with my mom. And that’s just from hearing/using she/her to keep from outting Diva so it takes a little brain reset to switch back. Switching names will be the hard habit for me to break. Lucky for is, Diva is an amazing person that knows we love them no matter what and they have vocalized that they know it takes time to hardwire new habits and they are far more appreciative of our efforts than upset about any slips that may occur.
@3puppies I know I asked Foxxi for spreadsheet tips, but I have a learning request from you too. I keep hearing about you & your weekend couponing. I would love to have the opportunity to learn more. Ya know…in your spare time. lol
Waiting on one.
Before day phase starts (and we’re back to y’all yeeting me), I do want to mention how much I enjoyed the back & forth during night phase. I stepped way the F back from Rajah’s years & years ago because it had gotten to just not being a nice place to hang out. That’s not even accurate - I ran away in the opposite direction as quickly as I could go (and I was a lot younger so that was fairly quick). It’s nice to see that things have changed. I’m not ready to go venturing outside of Board Games just yet. But I may just have to stick around for a bit. Thanks you guys!
And have said family keep coming back for more!
Speaking of the family…I’m on PTO today so I should be able to play (exception being during a section of the morning where my parents will be here). @DivaSmurf is working another double today because one of their staff (it’s still so cool for me to say that ) needed today off so they’re taking the shift like the good GM they are.
Oops - didn’t finish the thought there….so they won’t be around until tonight.
Noted: Stay the hell put.
BOWSER’S CASTLE LAP TWO (NIGHT FOUR) RESULTS
Roy Koopa was hopping mad. So mad he stomped up and down even harder causing a massive quake within the castle and a wall caved in. No-one could get past.
Amongst all the confusion Dr Ronotnik took a break from what he was looking for and crushed Foxxi with one of his giant robots causing King Bob-omb to explode!

Looks like a massive hidden block by Koopa, only allowing the red night kill.
We don't need to drag this out, as we didn't get any night information.

M-GAME EVENT INCOMING
Please hold all posting.
Koopa Troopa had seen enough and decided to take action so sorted through his assortment of shells. He chose a Blue Shell to take out Tildey the current lead car and the blast knocks her off the wooden course and down into the void below. On a happy note, The Koopalings got to reunite with their father in hell!
Tildey has been killed. She was The Koopalings - Scum JOAT

Votes are reset to zero. With 11 remaining players, it now takes 6 for an overall majority. The Ghost item still up for grabs by everyone.
Wow. Koopa you murdered Tildey before I could even vote.
I wanted to have this whole thing and you ruined me being able to vote on my future MIL.
-.-
Well, that actually just saves us some time and actually gives us an extra misyeet, if my math is correct.
Jitters, Kangus, Bluegunn are the choices. We can yeet all of them. The spreadsheets I do not believe are wrong.
I still consider Jitters to be my last yeet target as that one post completely felt coming from a town PoV and I don't see scum making an argument about them being made to look bad when that clearly was not happening this game, lol.
We also never saw the red shell, which is interesting, as far as I remember
Kangus - Can ONLY be Waluigi. It looks like Kangus was blocked on a night Waluigi did not act (all other scum did) so that is decently damning.
Which means Dr. Robotnik is either Bluegunn or Jitters.
Based on Tildey basically admitting she was looking for Sonic (I thought she may have been Robotnik because of her talking about Sonic), it makes me really think they get a benefit if they find Sonic. I assume it would be a recruitment, since it's Robotnik and Sonic, but we cannot rule out them getting a benefit otherwise.
Our choices, to me, are the following.
1. Yeet Kangus. If he flips Waluigi, it means the final scum needs to choose between killing/looking for Sonic I'd assume. If they choose Sonic, that would just mean we have to yeet two more to win. If they choose the kill, then we take care of them the next day.
2. Yeet Bluegunn/Jitters to try and stop the recruitment/power gain. That ensures that Sonic likely cannot be recruited (unless the shit can swap as I've done in games with traitors) and we can deal with Kangus.
The only negative to option 2 would be is if we choose the wrong person, but I feel its probably Blue over Jitters just on the fact of how Jitters posted and actually posted.
Either way, if spreadsheets are correct, town will win regardless of what we do.
I am leaning towards trying to kill Robotnik to prevent a recruitment/power gain since that would require us to then be sure about who Sonic is, if they are needed to be killed for us to win(tho I think my earlier assumption makes the most sense, but there are a few others it could be).
Vote: Bluegunn
But I will gladly swap to Kangus if we feel thats a better option.
If I end up dying tonight, though I'd think the obvious TPRs should be more likely a target, please do not go crazy into tinfoil theories.
Yeet Kangus, Bluegunn, and Jitters and this should be a town win no matter what. The only way we shouldn't win is if scum get a prize that can fuck up the town. And Koopa really just made it even easier (adding a misyeet) by murdered Tildey.

Since you were here and posted, what do you think about my thoughts above?

1 - Bluegunn (VoidKitten)
As for the ghost item...
I think this would be some type of commuter/rolestopper since Boo turns the driver invisible.
I haven't got my spreadsheet fully together, but I have been following along, especially with Foxxi's instructions, and I agree with you, VK. This will be a town win regardless as to the order.
My suggestion to the remaining scum is that they should simply role claim, out themselves, get modkilled and put themselves out of their misery. I am sure the already dead players would also appreciate this gesture, as it would give them an opportunity to play another game sooner.
But if we have to play it out, then
