Maybe not feeling organic on D1 is from anxiety of meeting people? Game starting? Guilty conscious?

Survivor is a reality game TV series that is getting close to reaching 50 U.S. seasons where people travel to an island, compete in challenges and vote each other off of the island. Jeff Probst is the host of it and so this game is kind of themed around it. There are some other countries that have their own version of the show too. raeko offered us the option of basically competing to win role powers, but we are instead playing a more standard game. The TV show also has immunity challenges where you can gain safety from being voted off, so the idea was that whoever the best artist was, we would consider not voting out of the game D0. Haha.

In a short game style where everybody is there together at the same time, I do not feel this as much. But in a TWG game D0, I really want to get things moving as soon as possible to having an atmosphere where we have a fair chance at getting a wolf out. But because you generally start without info, I feel that you can often get started by kind of nitpicking things that you might not care about if it were later on in a game. Basically whatever out of what has happened so far, that I can see they might have had a different approach to as one alignment or the other. So the getting the conversation going can feel forced to me even from my side, and then you are trying to evaluate if other people are forcing things to advance the game state because they too don't know anything, or if they are faking it. It is also sort of anxiety yes, but more about not wanting to let down whoever I am sided with.
