I think of edgic kind of like a language to describe your style of play. By saying you’re CPN or whatever for the round means that you’re actually doing things and like, actually being a major character for the round. I don’t think referencing edgic in-game is disingenuous, because it’s actually describing a style of play and is kinda like...being self-aware about your position in the game. So like, if you do something that’s best for your game and call it CPN, it’s not really disingenuous and actually helps the viewers understand what’s happening from an in-game point of view. Edgic by definition is the combination of editing and logic, and it helps clarify storylines and show who really is impacting the round idk.

Also, as I mentioned on slack, people play orgs for different reasons. There are people on survivor (hiiii michaela) who also do things for theatrics, sooo yeah. Everyone has different reasons for playing orgs, and the vets who have played 50 of these things obviously have more incentive than like, a second-time player where this experience feels super real to them. Ron calling Lockhart a diabolical mastermind, when Lockhart kinda just wants to mess around and have fun really shows the disconnect between the two players. Part of survivor imo is to figure out everyone’s motivations and adjust accordingly. Not everyone ~ plays to win ~ and I think like, part of your duty as a player is to assess everyone’s motivations and figure out how use them to best forward your own game :)

clarification:
*vets have more incentive to shake up the game just for the fun of it
