I know that I played the first day badly. I was top of the vote-list at one point. I'm still on just about everybody's scum-radar. My point is that I shouldn't be able to suddenly get out of my bad standings by suddenly growing a sense of confidence. Right now, getting close to me is
Incidentally, just because someone is an IC doesn't mean that they are always right, and they definitely can't be trusted. Remember how M4yhem and michel disagreed right at the start? Not to mention that either one of them could be scum.
I wonder if a better newbie game would be one with just newbies. Perhaps there could be one non-playing IC person assigned to the thread to make comments, maybe the mod could fill that role.
But if it's expected that the newbies should follow the lead of the ICs like sheep, then that trust can be very easily abused for the sake of winning the game.
