[Diamond18]

I dislike the label of "nonsense", "meaningless", and "substanceless" that gets tagged on to any post which isn't, say, a deep analysis or which contains definite opinions about other players or a theory about how everyone should be behaving. I think that there's rather a lot more meaning in much of what is deemed "meaningless" than a lot of people think -- and also it's unfair on Day 1 when there is no voting record or death count to work off of, to expect everyone to come up with brilliant theories, etc.

If everyone just spent the entire day roleplaying, we wouldn't get anywhere, but again, I said that the game wouldn't work if everyone played the exact same way. So we need the mix of loud to quiet to serious to playful to actually get things rolling. And by quiet I just mean "relatively quiet" instead of not-involved quiet. Remember, it's a game of strategy and everyone has a different strategy. Even amongst the Ordos, there are varied opinions on how to stay alive both Day and Night.

Anyway, I dislike the idea of voting for someone just because their playing style is different. But in the end, it's your vote and your decision how to wield it. I just dislike the intimidation factor of saying, "If you don't play such and such way, I will do my best to rid the game of you and your ilk."
