RVS v RQS

[callforjudgement]

The only purpose of RVS/RQS is to get someone to do something that will end RVS/RQS. Many players get annoyed at "missing their chance to RVS" once there's enough information to get a read, but that's completely missing the point; as soon as there's alignment-indicative information, no matter how weak, you can play properly.

Good setup design can introduce this sort of information from the start and skip RVS entirely, at least in Themes.
