ironically the reason behind Ephemera strongarming the bucket strategy was to "prevent day 1 discussion from being consumed by whether or not to employ the bucket strategy"

of course me being a PR and stubborn just led to it being discussed for a lot of the day anyway

in postgame chat I was like "so anyway, pretty sure that the amount of discussion surrounding bucket strategy would not have been greater had ephemera not forced it"

this triggered like 10 people to reply to me insisting I don't understand that the bucket strategy is optimal

they do have a hive mind going that's for sure

(not that we never did, just saying)

I was like, people, I'm not talking about whether it was optimal. I'm just saying Ephemera's stated reason for doing it proved to be a bad one

"that's only because you refused to go along"

"well, yes, exactly, and ephemera + the other two PRs who outed all took the risk that people who weren't aware of the meta discussion prior to the game would just agree and go along. like that is inherently a flaw with instantly starting the strategy - you don't know whether you'll have buy-in or not"

"but you should've gone along with it"

"oh ok nobody can understand me carry on"
