FTA and 2(3) actions on first turn

[nivra0]

Quick thought experiment for those who think FTA isn't a significant advantage.

As P1 on Turn 1: End Turn. Do Nothing. Bank 5 wits.

Turn 2: P2 takes his turn as if he were going first.

P1 on Turn 3: You now have 10 wits. Your positioning is identical to someone who goes second, normally. You can buy a special with 7 wits and have 3 left to spare to grab wit spots, defend, etc.
-------------------

PS> Better would be go grab wit squares and do nothing, banking 3-4 wits, then you still start with 10 wits on turn 3, but with better positioning and less to do. The above is just a cleaner thought experiment.
