#2: a treatise on the random voting stage

[Lord Gurgi]

Not to completely derail this thread, but massclaim is problematic for scum because they need to come up with a fakeclaim with minimal information about the setup and then hope it stands up later. It's equivalent to expecting townies to pick the scum on page one and have them stick with it. These days, power roles are becoming more unreliable and more populous, so it makes more sense now than it did when pie was pushing massclaim originally.

I have had games without a RVS at all. I've had games where they seem to last forever. The former is preferable. That said, I think the current game has more serious problems than the RVS that need resolution (namely, the One True Path).
