I don't like the idea.
I don't like how the idea is put. The reason we have many people play is so that we can pick up from where the other left off, and so everyone whom wants to participate can play. If we voted for what happened, then we might as well have one person play and we just keep voting....
...On the other hand, I can see what your saying, but in a refined form. We can vote on things such as our character's ethics (if they would or wouldn't steal, cheat, lie, kill, etc.; What they finds right and wrong), there friendships (would they be friends with everyone or just one person or just women/men or just wealthy/poor? how would he be there friends? Quests, bribes, flattery, etc.) and other such things like that. I'm not sure what Marc has planned for the next polls (if there will be any), but I think voting on the characters personality and what not would make it more interesting. In a sense, the game would role out as a story as opposed to just mindless killings and theiveries, but still be fun.......
