I will try it in my game, any random vote will be redirected to the random button, it will actually BE random, and if it sucks, no one will ever do it again.

Experimentation is fun

I know you prolly won't believe this, but I really do random when I say I'm randoming. I'd still have no problem using the random button on day 1. I'd self vote on day 1 too except people get cranky about that as well. If I've got nothing (which I often do for *several* cycles) I've got nothing. I can't wait to see how the random button plays out tbh.

mata - I'm sorry it's taken me so long to respond to the idea when you wanted feedback but I just needed some time to think through it all.

I do like the idea. I LOVE that if someone is randomed out on day1 they get to come back day 3. It SUCKS for anyone do die day 1 due to "random" votes no matter alignment. That is a nice fix for some unfair things that have happened to all of us.

I worry though that this would become the "easy" vote option for everyone day 1 or day 2 or ect...

essentially - the day 0 polls were designed originally to give people something to talk about on day 1 so that "there would be little room to random" then hosts started playing with day 0 polls and nothing was ever decided on day 0 so day 1 still became day 1.

My worry about this is that because the random button is the easy button and really without the random button, I'd say I don't start making semi-informed opinions till like day 4 -( yes - spilntsy's refusal to read the roles till day 4 makes a lot of sense to me now...) My only real concern is that with the easy random button, there's no true "day 1" vote till the day the random button goes away. Ya know what I'm saying?

That said - I can see how making and active dead thread/bts room would help to combat that.

It's an interesting concept - I'm glad that JC and SVS are willing to tackle it because I'd like to see it play out once. I love creativity and I'm already adding some twists and turns to Bowie as I've had other creative inspiration as well. It's definately something I'm considering for my work in progress game.

Well done mata!
