Rob, would you like to nullify this approved team vote?

Well if 9 Yes votes doesn’t scream “Nullify me!” I don’t know what will…

I hoped to learn stuff from my No vote, but everyone else saying yes ruins that :/

Random is the key word there. I had to pick someone and had zero info to go on. scottagibson already called me out before the game even started so he seemed like a logical choice. Otherwise it would have been you probably, or clyve at the very end.

I’m a noob, but I’m skeptical of the whole “VNFI” scheme. If everyone does it (votes ‘no’), then there is no information, right?

That’s true, yes… In past games when everyone votes no, it’s useless. Discussing it ahead of time also defeats the purpose. Still… 9 Yes votes feels bad, right?

9 yes votes are worth 105 sparkle points.

Actually my original post was giving clyve the SL card, then I realized it made more sense to give it to scott once he confirmed I was Good. scott was the only choice for the EC card.

Yes, it does. I’m afraid it suggests Christien is EVIL, otherwise why would the other evil ones approve? On the other hand, they could have reasoned that the first quest was likely to go forward no matter what, and decided to fly under the radar rather than reveal themselves. Wheels within wheels.

105 sparkle points are not a good sign. scott knows I’m safe since he saw my card but I can’t help but assume one of them must be Evil based on that vote. All I know is scott told the truth on my card.

What’s the conversation rate on sparkle points these days?

Okay then. We assume that there is evil upon the team as 3 or 4 evil voted for it. But they voted independently and could have gone YES for other reasons.

If Scott & Rowe are good then Christien is evil - in which case he could vote SUCCESS to avoid detection. Or vote FAILURE hoping that suspicion falls on the others. Or maybe Christien is good. If Rowe is evil then Scott will be as well. And so forth. Essentially, I know nothing, which is not surprising.

The nub is that we are in the random stage of the game. I want to use the card when we know it will be useful. Most of all we need information. If this makes the evil squad think that I am Oberon then that misdirection will be a good thing.

TL:DR I will not play my No Confidence card.

All caps is usually a signal, which drives the conversion rate for sparkle points way up.

Can I cut my sparkle points with spice for wholesale?

Not sure what to make of clyve’s NO vote. What is the logic behind it?

He somehow knew that Evil players would be voting for this team. I think he’s Galahad.

I’m pessimistic, I suppose. I have a hard time committing to a team until I have some evidence to go on…

Edited to include the cards that players are holding

Yay, a chart! Thanks clyve!

A chart consisting only of blue shades? It reeks of Evil!

Okay then! Team, please PM me your super secret mission votes.

Please keep in mind that Good players must vote success. Evil players may choose to vote success or failure. One failure vote will fail the quest.
