Yep, I would prefer not. I would probably be very flip-floppy about it and anxious and yeah, not into it. Especially now that my top scumread dropped and got replaced by CeeCee. I wouldn't like, throw a fit and refuse it, but I'd rather it go to someone else so I can see what they do with it.
Ah, did she? I hadn't noticed. I dunno if that changes my read, as she hasn't lingered on that much evidently and seems to be earnest in her posts. I know that's a bit unfair to you since you've also been pretty active but her posts stick out more to me.
I mean, do you think everyone's just going to fold their arms on Day 1.5 and not try to influence the vote at all? We can have both scenarios.
Trying to influence the vote isn't the same as voting for someone, because in the end it's the leaders' choice and not our choice.
This is not a bad observation. We have no idea how or why SSM voted, if it was real or jokey or what, or his experience level, but it does give a reason to keep have an eye on Fantomas.
At least I'm self aware about it? That's something, right?
No, because CeeCee hasn't done much.
That's random, why me suddenly? You mentioned ketkat before but not me, in fact you said you liked my lynch choices before, which were Sophia and Fireblend.
I mean, it's hardly ever that everyone votes for the same person on D1. There's people whose votes don't end up as part of the lynch anyway. There's going to be accountability either way, and I'd be suspicious of anyone who didn't make it clear who they'd vote for without the leader mechanic. The same as if we were playing a normal D1.
Alright fair enough, although I don't think the leader part stands.
I like where you're going. Please expand on how this looks for everyone.
If you believe what you're saying then there's no point in NOT treating this like normal day 1. Like I said the leader part only slows us down.
I'm concerned about this both being Geno's primary focus and the very vanilla approach to it. His scum reads? He put them out there but where's the followup? Where's anything else? Like I don't mind a vanilla approach to the mechanic (mine skews that way, more than others), but defending that position can't be all that you do.
Thanks. I'm not against doing a pseudo vote; not making our lynch choices explicit would be heaven for scum. What I'm against is choosing someone with the understanding that they'll lynch whoever the majority wants to lynch under threat of being lynched themselves. I'm not sure if that's what Malus means, he does say he wants the leader "having the final say".
When you catch-up, I'd appreciate a few reads from you kyan. We are missing some more wild ideas in here.
You are expecting way too much out of someone less than 24h into day 1.
It is if you want it to be. You don't, and like I said, that's fine, I'm not scum reading people not agreeing with me, I'm just trying to convince everyone that it's the best course of action.
Really? Cause lots of other people have managed it. You have scumreads, by your own admission. Do something about them.
No, not really, and here's why: because with me, specifically, this has been a historical issue. I am wishy-washy, and it gets scumread. So here's how I see this going down. I get picked as leader, I hem and haw and agonize and sweat and freak out, thanks to legit anxiety disorder and personality for the best combo, and unless we/I am lucky and hit scum, my personhood gets read as scummy no matter what else I do, and that becomes a talking point for the rest of the game. It might not get me lynched, but I'm gonna have to hear about it constantly, and it's a distraction to me and others. It's not a real read based on the game, or my alignment; it's a read based on the way the community perceives a particular behavior, no matter who's doing it.
"lots", nah, stop lying. Listen, my thoughts will be explained fully by the end of day 1.5.
On day 1 though, pretty much everyone gets talked about a bit, so even just sticking to players that get talked about a moderate amount will be like half of the field.
Oh so there are some ulterior motives around you or are you just buying time.
I'm guessing you're just making a point that you will have clear reads ready by the end of the phase then, right?
You don't change the rules, rules don't say anything about how this should be handled.
