In my opinion he seems very self confident and I am not sure if I want a self confident HD who is overthinkig everything and does not care about other opinions.
Who said that Self confident people are also selfish? A good leader should always listen to the group and reflect his actions. You opinion seem to me like you are thinking too much in categories which I don't like. Its up to you whether you believe me or not, but as a Leader I think it is important to first of all develop an own opinion but then also listen to others. In games like werewolf its definitely needed to discuss choices in the group so that we can be sure that our direction we are driving to is right. Or at least I guess the chance that it is right is higher than if everyone just does whatever he or she wants.
Since, i assume, neither of us is an native english speaker I think most of us are going to be limited in our choice of words. Which leads me to the conclusion, that juding the style and tone of someone could became very missleading.
Well you don't know that, maybe I am a native speaker? At least some of us seem to be quite confident in writing in english. But thats not the point. I am quite sure that most werewolf player use similar words in every game even though they might know more words. But everyone has it's own style which is usually similar in every game. I can see already different styles here and I think that it is possible to judge a bit the style and the words that are used. It can be missleading but thats something that can happen in every language.
We cannot see any gestures or mimic so that the only thing we have is the posts of each player. We must analyse them to find something, there is not really another way.
