More seriously I keep finding myself hoping that Haschel’s insistence on his FTC triangle for jury questioning is primarily a way to try and reduce toxicity in FTCs

... so we're not allowed a thread to discuss it in? That seems like a bad argument. Like, what?

At the end of the day, the threads exist but the juries will decide what they want to vote on.
The argument is that the system we're complaining about shoehorns *all* discussion into one of those three topics. Versus organizing it by finalist or by juror to give more freedom in terms of what gets discussed.

Most questions jurors ask the finalists about the round they got voted out can't be answered explicitly in one of the three categories, for example. Also questions like finding a gif for each juror feel too jokey to fit into social.

In post 52, Haschel Cedricson wrote:I do think the WORST format is the one where each player gets their own thread. Inevitably players will start addressing points the other finalists raised and now we have one conversation split between two or three threads.
It's pretty easy to make this argument the other way, though, since you could pretty easily end up with finalists addressing things that the other finalists said. You'd also end up with the problem of one juror asking the same question of all three finalists and needing three threads to do so.
