Spectators

D) I would be way less likely to

I actually think it would really actively harm the confessional process if they were removed for a lot of people, which would not only affect specs but also players who want to see other players thought processes post game

As a player specs have asked me questions that got out info I otherwise wouldnt have even considered sharing. Even if there was incentive to post in confessionals without spec prompting (like in LoL) I feel specs enhance confessional posting

[MattP]

If anything I would want specs to post more and have more incentive

Like I wish we had some way to express gratitude to people who have consistently enriched games as specs

One of my fave parts of the game is seeing everyones confessionals after

I guess something I didn't think about much when I made the original post is that players are playing not just for themselves and the thrill of the game, but also because this is a public game. Survivor is on tv, and some players shill to the audience just as much as to themselves. Mafia games sometimes are spectated, but often not until afterwards - and dead threads are now more commonplace. Makes me wonder if any player who enters a large social game is not playing to the audience at all?

I mean I don't make any of the moves I make for specs but I like including them
