My friend shared with us the other day she's playing this exclusively as a dating sim I only played the first one, many moons ago and don't remember shit (except the controls were bad and the vehicle portions gave me rage). But I think what he means is the romance options in these games are super fleshed out and probably what the friend is doing, dating imaginary Shepard. Bioware make good in-depth games like that, I know this as I'm replaying Baldurs Gate 2 right now.

I played this for about an hour. Didn’t take. Wouldn’t be against trying again but I’ve become so picky with games.

I’m super behind on the times. I only ever tried to pick up chicks playing Street Fighter at the skating rink. It didn’t work. The girls at the skating rink didn’t give a shit about Street Fighter.

Mod note: that write up is literally the prologue to mass effect 1. And yes the soldier who dies is really named Richard Leroy Jenkins. As a nod to the meme. Even if he didn't just run in on the game. Shepard sent him as a scout and he didn't understand to shoot the evil robot.
Vote of mongo acknowledged and appreciated

Activity since start of game: 2 people voted for Mongo even though he isn't in the game! Yay!
Deadline is 9PM Eastern tomorrow, so just about 34 hours from now. With 14 alive it takes 8 to achieve elimination
Fun Fact: In Mass Effect 1 people got into an uproar over the sexy times you could have. Ironically in this game it was mostly off screen and implications and you only could choose between the human companion of the opposite gender to your Shepard or Liara (the female presenting but monogendered asari). And Ashley was a xenophobe, Liara was a stage 3 clingy creeper and Kaiden ... was as exciting as paint chips. BioWare held off on the alien romances assuming people would baulk at the idea. Garrus and Tali became the two most popular romantic interests in the future games. As a note you also were required to sacrifice either Ashley or Kaiden so there's that. Also Kaiden, if alive, would appear in ME3 as a love interest ... for MALE Shepard. Hooray for equality!

DT's trivia focusing on dating options tells me that we were all right in our presumptions.
At the moment, I'm saying a vote for Mongo is a vote to end the day early / non-elimination. As it would be comical to get a full vote.
Those looking to actually get rid of someone day 1? I use my typical Dunne argument and point it at Nausicaa. Potentially effective scum, but no way Naus doesn't become dead weight to town if town.
But those are the options I see day 1. I strongly encourage us to actually research our characters and come back flavourful day 2. Also, I remember Martin Sheen voiced a character in Mass Effect that was supposed to be like a shadowy smoking man type who wasn't quite with the evil aliens, so there are definitely third party at play.
