I'm just waiting for everyone to post before I decide who to vote for.

There was a lot of writing from rb before I came along. Why didn't you vote for him?

He's voting someone already. It's okay to just pick a name at random off the list and vote it. It's expected really that you start by voting for someone, especially if you're one of the first few players to post in the game. Sometimes you don't get online until a few pages have passed and then you'll want to check the vote count before you vote so you don't put yourself onto a big wagon you don't actually support.

rb hasn't voted for anyone yet.

Fair point about voting early, although after a few pages have passed I'd expect anyone just getting online to get acquainted with the vote count anyway and also taking the time to make a sensible vote instead of a random one.

VOTE: Political Clout
To replace ssbm_Kyouko's vote which he took off PC and put on me :^)

I'm going to UNVOTE: rb for now because Zekro's vote, but I'm a bit iffy about the openness of declaring reads and alignment so soon. Could just be how rb works tho and to be fair there's something to be said about sort-of-kind-of leading us towards the end of rvs this early.

I'm not sure what I feel about the other major slots so far. Can I do questions or is that kinda frowned upon?? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It's not like I feel the "need" to random vote, but I'd rather place my vote somewhere (with the side bonus of showing I'm active and "started playing") than do nothing.

Also, don't want to get on any wagon, simply. I put my vote on one of the already voted option as they are those who are actively reading and posting in the thread, so I'm not throwing my random vote without even getting some reaction from the voted one.

Random Voting is actually how we start games here.

Gets reactions and gives us vague ideas.

Optimal play for both alignments is to start rvs that way imo

You can do questions. I have one for you: are you made uncomfortable by Zekro voting rb? If you're iffy about him declaring reads why would you move your vote?

#43 moved my vote because I didn't like the direction Zekro's vote was leading to/didn't want to be part of a wagon on someone I wasn't 100% sure is scum. Generally standing by that decision bc I wanted to see if rb would continue with conversational/humour posts in lieu of scumhunting ones and the direction of #46 looks promising

Friend I'm wondering about you, what's your opinion on how things are going so far? I'm wondering because the only posts I've seen from you are ones that aren't giving any tells but a random vote/chipping in by giving neutral info

u dont understand me if you think im ever going to stop humour/conversation posting

in fact im incredibly anti-authoritarian for literally no reason at all and the fact that you want me to do that has encouraged me to do it more

not to mention that #46 is one of the shittiest posts in the entire thread. i actually made it ironically and was mocking players who make such vague statements
