faraday does have a point that pursuing shep who will be active, adds discussion, and who you find awkward makes more sense. it would also help the activity more since you added that awful talking point.
this game is going to be active b/c i'm in it to win it.
Why would I vote someone who's being active and trying to be productive? I don't really trust him but i'm not planning to follow his vote so i'm not too concerned.
