On a personal note, 'Eight' reminds me a lot of Kyoko Kirigiri and that's clearly a good thing for me. I love her pragmatism and the way she puts Ikuro in his place. She's by far my favourite with Graham followed by Ikuro. I enjoyed the discussion before the vote, especially as you could really feel the tension emanating from all the characters (eh, maybe not Jude).
I'm really curious to see what happens next. Nice game.
