Now, I don't think that it's fair, if there exists a third party, that each of three factions has an equal chance. However, giving one faction (even just a 1p faction, like SK) a lesser chance of winning seems, on the face of it, unfair.
I don't know how to solve this.
There's nothing inherently unfair about a faction having a smaller chance of winning. We join and play games to have fun, not to win. Winning is generally fun and losing due to the set-up is generally unfun, which is why balance is important. Fairness doesn't enter into it. SKs have fun, thus there is no problem.
(Game's also not symmetric with regards to the factions - town really is the important faction when it comes to making the game work as it should which is why e.g. I advocate a 40-30-30 in win percentages in games with 2 proper scum groups.)
The issue of when to clap during a classical music performance is a time-honored tradition that should not be simply dismissed for whatever reason.
You show your appreciation, generally through clapping, at the end of the piece; you remain silent in between each individual movement.
This was not true until Wagner decided everyone needed to regard him as God and not make any noise during his music. Before Wagner it was not only common to applaud between movements but in the cases of particularly virtuosic solo pieces to applaud
during the song
.
The practice of treating classical music as some kind of museum piece to be viewed under a glass case is harmful to the artform and serves as a means to create an even larger gulf between artist and audience. Maybe I'm weird, but I want people to get emotionally engaged in what I do and react.
