I honestly think it's kind of bullshit that using your confessional is bad for your game, unless you are just PMing 100% of the time, but once you've gone through and cleared your entire inbox, it doesn't take very much time at all to quickly go to your confessional and give your thoughts. We really aren't asking for much. Butterfly and Capybara have ignored multiple direct questions which are the easier type of confessional engagement because you just have to say what you think in response and haven't really given substantial updates in multiple rounds.
And like, surely you are thinking about the game and what you plan to do, so is it really that much additional bother to type it out? I don't think so. But I also might just operate differently than these people on a fundamental level, idk

Also I hate this idol hunt because it's so frustrating to see a player ignoring your questions and instead moving around in search of an idol which is already found. And every time a player posts their movements it makes me think there's something new from them only to be disappointed

for me at least, posting in my confessional is beneficial. it helps to have a place to think out loud.

Confessionals are optional and we should try not to hate on folks for not using them, although I agree it can be a bit frustrating. Particularly when the effort it takes to say "here's why I'm not answering your question" is about the same amount it would take to answer it. Oh well.

Some people only have a limited time in the day that they can devote to playing the game, and they use it all to play the game
Given more time, they'd likely play the game even more until the benefits of that were insignificant, and then they'd post in their confessional

I wonder if I could get people to do a short interview with me on a call, and then I transcribe the highlights for the confessional a la Genet's first video.

Geez look at all the non confessional apologists here, let us hate some players in peace why don't ya? LOL, I actually woke up this morning and the tab with my post was still open and I saw it and was like hmm let's edit that into something less harsh. It seemed too mean! But the point I was trying to express was that while one expects a barren confessional from a player that's also inactive in the game, it gets more frustrating not hearing their thoughts the more the player is flourishing. I also fully agree with Algae in that it's not actually hard to write a confessional. Like, unless you're literally running out the door I don't think there's any reason not to do an update now and then, and it actually helps your game to write your thoughts out.

I've been in situations where I didn't confessionalize much because I didn't think I had much interesting to day, when really there were things I didn't think were important that the specs probably would have wanted to hear. More direct, quick-answer questions might help, idunno

Like if we take Butterfly as an example, 'yeah I'm still running the game and things are going how I want them to' might not seem that important to her? But we'd love to hear anything, like long term thoughts and stuff if she's not worried in the short term.

I love Snowy Owl's confessional. I was initially rooting against them kind of st random, but their confessional is so good that it's making me change my mind.

I get that being busy might lead to less confessionalizing, but I don't want the world. I just want to not have players I know almost nothing about. This game is such a huge time commitment to begin with and confessionals take up like 1% as much time. There are moments where, for example, you have no unanswered PMs in your inbox. Why not confess? I do get that some people have anxiety or don't know what to say or have difficulty articulating their thoughts, but I do not think business is an excuse to give us basically nothing, especially when you seem to otherwise be an active player. But also confessing for me takes virtually no mental energy, I literally just vomit out my thoughts. So I'm probably coming from a different place than a lot of people.
