While I do like the idea of increasing turnover in auctions (even though I have no money or items as of yet), I am a little disappointed withe spamming because I wanted to see if anybody had any thoughts on my Spike outfit.
The MVP is by far the most powerful power to ever be introduced into the US game.
Not only does the MVP get to make a nomination anonymously, apparently they make their nomination after the HoH has made their nominations.
With this luxury you can turn friends against each other with no ill will to yourself. You can betray your own alliance at no risk. You can falsely convince people you really aren't with "the other side." You can cultivate jealousy between house guests with this power like nobody's business. You can block the HoH move you heard discussed for the previous 1-2 days.
Anyone who is MVP twice in a row has had a chance to wrap up the entire game right there, unless they are a moron.
Elissa, who immediately revealed she was the MVP not once but twice, did not further her own game last week with her nom and is unlikely to further her game this week with her nom. How clueless at the game to you have to be that winning this amazing anonymous power makes you more of a target in the house not less?
And so, in conclusion:
rant rant rant rant rant.
rant.
Oh, and facepalm.
Do you think that a higher rate of day change per number of designs submitted would result in less in-game spam, a lowering of prices, and a net increase in total T$ spent on designs.
Personally, I couldn't afford a hoodie if it were a mere $100 and I highly doubt any design of mine will ever make it to auction on any algo.
Still, spamming does seem to limit choice and inflate prices and a reduction in spam might have positive externalities, such as a reduction in the negging of the first and second most popular items, thereby sometimes knocking the most wanted items out of contention until a repost.
