Let me put it simpler. and shorter, sorry.
1. I do not think that there is enough time in this game allotted for the Day 1 reads of potential players to have a significant enough effect, weighed against the results that we get to analyze from night actions, for them to matter. Almost at all.
2. If we do it random, as obvious as this might seem, it is random. So there is no "what if they are skum and chose player x bc whatever reason". I think removing that potential WIFOM component is quite valuable given the task at hand.
But most importantly, it is a small margin imo and we have talked about this so much to this point that the horse is gonna come back to life and start beating us.
We need to make a decision so we don't find ourselves down the line in a rush.
I would prefer the random order, but if everyone wants reads I won't be the only one to fight it.
I would also prefer the Chain over Triangles, but again, small margin.
Everyone should chip in on that bit at the minimum so we can see where we lay.
