To answer both Deku and Sooshi, the whole idea is to create a system which is *hard for scum to control* and therefore reasonably safe to participate in. I *get* the fear of being led by scum, certainly... But I honestly feel that a very good way to deal with that issue is to let random processes, pre-set rules, and mass consensus guide my actions. These are things that scum has a hard time controlling.
Look, what I'm really doing here? Asking questions and responding to answers. Same as gumball. I'm not sure where leading comes in. By making myself beholden to pre-set rules and to other players I actually have the *least* freedom of anyone here.
I guess you could say that I'm trying to make myself look "in control" by setting up a system, but the system is for me. None of you need to follow along with the final result.
