And yes, it is interesting that Walrus was willing to trust four other people.
Again, I'd like to emphasize that my top 4 gut-feeling picks were you, Tables, lio, and myself. The mission proposed had 3/4, and a bunch of people seemed to be getting positive reads on yuma, so I figured he deserved a shot--and also maybe it would lend some credence to my suspicions if it did fail after all. I believed that possibly having this information would make it likely that we could scoop up at least 2 of the remaining missions.
Fair enough. I mean, if the dominant strategy here (for the first few missions at least) is truly just to gun everything down, then I'll go for that. I don't want my noobishness to imperil the town.
Just seemed a little dull is all
The dominant strategy (if you're Good) is to approve the missions that have the highest chance of Success. If you're Good and trusting a mission to four other people when there are only three other Good people, you can be pretty sure that it's going to Fail.
Well yeah, that's true to a first approximation. But then there's other stuff to consider too, like protecting Merlin, gathering information, and so on. For the baddies, for example, it may have been unwise to fail M1, even though the most obvious strategy is to just maximize fails. I thought it was possible that you, Tables and lio might be fellow goodies, while yuma would either 1.) out himself overtly by failing, which could at least launch a productive investigation or 2.) be cowed into silence and we'd pass another one anyway.
Does this make any sense at all? I feel like I'm taking crazy pills over here haha
