Re: Buffy The Sheep Slayer
This is what the Buffy wiki says about Adam: "He was part human, part demon, and part robot, and was to be the perfect organism, with the adaptability and intelligence of humans, and the strength and emotional detachment of demons."
I will defer to the general will of the players on that one.

Re: Buffy The Sheep Slayer
Okay, let me crowdsource some potential wrong answers.
For #10, "Most of Buffy's foes were supernatural in nature. Who wasn't?", are we considering these people foes:
Principal Snyder
Riley
Also, Adam was created by science but had demon parts grafted onto him. Should I disqualify him or not?

I'm not sold on Riley... I would need to hear some sort of defense to accept that.
I think Adam should be considered supernatural since he was comprised of demon (which you specified would be considered supernatural). Doyle, for example, was part human and part demon as well, but it's the part demon that classifies him as supernatural.

Re: Buffy The Sheep Slayer
I agree. Adam is a wrong answer.
I'm willing to accept Principal Snyder, but have yet to hear a good defense for Riley (other than that he was a foe to my ability to stay awake).
Also, can someone refresh my memory, does The Master appear in any episode of Angel? In a flashback, perhaps?

Re: Buffy The Sheep Slayer
Are we considering Oz as a good character turned evil? I always saw it as he can't control himself, not actively evil. Thoughts?
And is there a time Xander turned evil of his own accord (i.e. not possessed by a demon or anything like that)?

Re: Buffy The Sheep Slayer
I think Xander is a yes. He obviously switched allegiances in "The Pack." He remained Xander at all times, with all his memories and thoughts yet became clearly evil. The fact that he was possessed, I think, is irrelevant to the question. The argument can be made the Angelus was 'possessed' with a soul that caused him to switch allegiances... So I don't see why possession disqualifies the answer as legitimate.
Xander can also be argued to have switched allegiances in "Halloween" where he became a soldier. He was briefly seen shooting at people before Willow convinces him to help her.
Xander becomes a vampire in "The Wish." It can be argued that since the events of this episode were corrected in the end, the Xander that became a vampire is a different person altogether and is thus not who is referred to by the answer of "Xander." That, I suppose, is a judgement call.
Even with the discounting of "Halloween" and "The Wish," I don't see any arguments against his foray to the side of evil in "The Pack."

Re: Buffy The Sheep Slayer
Putting aside whether Oz can be considered evil, did he ever really turn? His condition existed pretty much right from the beginning.

Re: Buffy The Sheep Slayer
Okay, Oz will be wrong and Xander will be correct.
As for Riley, I'm guessing someone chose him because at one point the Scoobies are at odds with the Initiative, of which Riley is a member, but he was always pretty pro-Scooby, so I'm going to say he's a wrong answer. Also I fucking hate Riley.

Re: Buffy The Sheep Slayer
If Riley is going to be a wrong answer, I'm interested in seeing how my answer gets scored.
I'm also a bit interested in how we're pre-scoring certain things. Does that mean the arguing during the reveals won't be happening?

Re: Buffy The Sheep Slayer
I think Oz is a no. Your question asked to name a character that switched allegiances. Oz was simply a werewolf, even when we was not in wolf form, but never wavered from his allegiance to the scoobies.
I think Xander is a yes. He obviously switched allegiances in "The Pack." He remained Xander at all times, with all his memories and thoughts yet became clearly evil. The fact that he was possessed, I think, is irrelevant to the question. The argument can be made the Angelus was 'possessed' with a soul that caused him to switch allegiances...

Xander had his sense of self modified in The Pack, I guess.

Is a lack of allegiance a switch in allegiance?

Re: Buffy The Sheep Slayer
Being present isn't in any real sense necessary to play, but it is probably the most enjoyable part of the game. Sadly, I'm in a management conference most of the next two days so I'll probably be very minimally involved (reading the thread after is also great though).
