Partially because people suggesting it so far (LaLight and space) are on the "slightly suspicious I need to keep a closer eye on them" list.
Why not evaluate it on the merits of the plan, rather than because you're suspicious of players?
The claiming plan is tough to think through, which I assume is why so many people are willing to ignore it and see what other people think. TWM's response felt honest for pretty much admitting that. I like that faust supports it, because he's someone I'd expect to be fine with this depth of setupy thinking.
I'm pretty unsurprised that you object, because of how you were also against the same sort of plan in RMM37, and I assume it doesn't play well to your own feelings about your strengths in Mafia games. However, I urge you to try to think through. My feeling is that turning the heat up on anyone who's got anything to hide in terms of bidding order and slots chosen is going to lead not only to interesting setup mechanic slips, but good old-fashioned opportunities for those of you who're good at reads and tone and stuff too.
Also, quite an active time while I was sleeping
Hah.. try living in Europe!
