Right - that was a conclusion you decided on without any real basis for doing so. That's a mistake on your part - not the setup. The serial might not be inclined to use it night 1 because they don't know how the game will play out, and they would also need to explain why they aren't dead after having done so from day 2 onwards. Any serial using it that early would need to think ahead and be very careful about how they play the rest of the game to win.Yes we did question why he didn't use it and Big Man being a total no show was the explanation
As it turns out, they didn't use it that early, and while this got brought up, you settled on a conclusion that wasn't really based in evidence simply because it fit nicely for you. That's fine, but it's the kind of argument that ought to be revisited later, especially over lylo. I believe you are aware of this, too.
