I just called for a first interview in a couple of hours
So I'm going to go ahead with my thoughts and votes now.
Time Ancient
I don't see a compelling reason to move us into another timeframe.
As for my vote, the three I've been getting the vibes on are Autumn, Lathum, and TheJuggler. I mentioned earlier that Autumn & Lathum are players I feel quite capable of switching it up and not going the most obvious route.
Interestingly (to me at least) are that TheJuggler & Lathum were the last two voters on CrimsonFox and the first two on Autumn.
This is my first game playing with TheJuggler, so I have the least feel for his playstyle. So I think I'll place my vote there and see what I can learn:
Vote TheJuggler
If my interview ends before the dealine, I'll pop back on to see what has transpired. Wish me luck!
