I hear you saying this for both Striker and Aster, which is why I'm not hitting them too hard. I'll still put a vote there because I don't have many better ideas at the moment, but I'm far from tunneling there. Just need more leads.
I see the logic behind allowing for ties, but just for consistency/devil's advocate sakes, I'll continue to argue against it. Let's get some factioning up in here, makes things easier.
Got it! Thank you. Yeah, I originally voted Kelsier Apologist because I lost track of K names, then thought it was Kasimir I meant, then realized you were just furthering Striker's original argument. So I hope that wasn't too confusing.
Just for clarity's sake: Striker
I get the feeling that Kas and TJ are V, either that or one or probably both is playing total 5d chess with us, which isn't impossible. Irl I would put them as high village vibes but here where you actually can pm and plan, that reduces the likelihood a bit. Just my take. Both play a lot like my friend who always argues for optimal plays no matter which side he's on
