#2: a treatise on the random voting stage

[Ythill]

I liked the article, Shea. A little heavy on the rhetoric, but not so bad that I started skimming.

I've still never random voted. My MO from my very first game has been to introduce myself, exploit theme mechanics, and talk about meta. When I started here, this approach brought me a lot of heat but now it's more accepted. I'm not sure if that's a change in the site meta or if people have gotten to know my playstyle but it is refreshing. There are some other good players who have been taking strides over the last year or so to turn the RVS into an information creation phase, and I'm glad for it.
