What is a flavour, specifically, in stars? I'm not looking for a vague definition of "someone popular who the crowd likes and is nominated."
At what point does a player go from a normal player with popularity to a flavour? Objectively?
I would wager that different people have different answers for this, and it's what frustrates me about this "don't create a flavour" narrative.
What are people meant to do, allow their allies to be nominated and cede social control sufficient they become nominated too when they don't have nearly the same poll power as others?

I’ve defined a flavor as being someone who goes up at least 4 times in an entire game. 3 times if nominated back-to-back within 4-5 days in single digits. Renomming someone back-to-back in double digits makes it far more likely that person becomes a flavor if they survive. Gotta let that person sit back for a while before nomming them again.
I agree that nominating the same person multiple times when you have other targets is a huge mistake. You have to let people's time in the public eye fade. Double digits, even 9th place, you want to avoid renoms if you can help it, at most 1 renom from like... 15th and 10th is an okay spacing?
But that becomes harder when you get up towards the single digits of 7 6 and 5. Like clearly you will need and have more enemies and workijg with that other person who was nommed a lot is a great choice...
but what if they don't want to work with you? They want to nominate you, and so your option is what.... get nominated or nominate them
Sometimes it’s better to go up against someone you can beat than to let your flavor go up when they’re gonna be guaranteed the win if they do. It’s that metric of whether or not you know they’ll win if they go up — and that you can survive if you do — that comes into play. david
