I can't speak for the others (and it looks like some of them are cheering for you anyways), but I responded to your roll after talking with Zara.  Jude was transfixed, but you failed by an extreme margin with several of the Sins (notably Pride).  So they started trying to work Jude around.  Really, I think the roll would've had a much bigger impact if your speech included a concrete plan of action-- "Let's solve this problem" was apparently interpreted differently by different people.<br/><br/>And if you want a truly extreme response, use Mind Control rather than Performing Arts.
