Final Two or Final Three?

Thread

I've long been a proponent of Final Two FTCs, but I see merit to both sides of the argument. What is the best way for endgame to look? There have been Skype discussions on this topic several times, but I'm curious what we'll get if we try this in a more formal format.

I'll weigh in with my own thoughts when I'm out of class.

That's the main reason I'm not a fan of F3s, actually. Making it through the entire game to get to FTC winds up giving you... a 33% chance of winning. That means it's much more worth it to spend your entire game pandering and making sure you're everyone's favorite. The game becomes more of a gross popularity contest than it should be. 50/50 seems like more of a fair split between pre-FTC and post-FTC.
