#2: a treatise on the random voting stage

[The Fonz]

Great stuff. My one problem is that I expected you to discuss more of the theory behind RVS, namely that it shouldn't even exist as a seperate stage--having a term for a low-information stage in the game often makes players think that there is some magical threshold past which the RVS suddenly ends and the town is out of the woods.

RVS has ended, so

unvote

Hi! You must be new here.

11 months is new? /:|

There've been multiple long threads on this. Basically, it's like this- early massclaim makes it easier for scum to kill off power roles, but harder for scum to fakeclaim. Pie is, and has been for years, known for advocating day one massclaim (he's not really been around for the last nine months, which is why he thinks of you as 'new' while you don't). His position is extreme relative to the consensus, but that doesn't mean it's wrong in itself. Search massclaim and his name on google, and you'll find the arguments. Read 'em for yourself, decide who you think makes more sense.
