And you act like I haven't modded 2 of the past 4 games and am not actively working on some (even if they are stalled due to IRL business that will hopefully be going away soon).
I know you're doing a lot of work with design! I'm just saying that this argument makes absolutely zero progress in fixing any problems that do or don't exist. The only way to make change happen is to introduce alternatives in practice, and more importantly, for people to like those ideas enough to build off of them in future games to the point where people embrace the change. Saying "wouldn't it be cool if _____?" isn't going to make anyone say "huh, I guess my perceptions of the fundamentals of game design are wrong!" But if someone sees that idea play out in a way that breathes life into the game, then they're much more willing to realize that it's a concept deserving of more exploration, and that it could be a potential alternative to something they didn't even see as a problem before in common game design.

I don't think tribe swaps of all things should be a divisive controversial issue that we argue about.

The problem with having few swaps is that it doesn't work in big games. You can't have a 24 player game with only one swap without potential for really small tribes. I don't like games with tons of swaps, but there's no doubt that we need some relatively "pure" and "vanilla" games.

Site design has just been moving towards the biggest and craziest twists possible. That's good to have from time to time, but there also need to be games like PSV thrown in somewhat frequently.

You're missing the point.

I'm not saying anyone is wrong.

I'm saying we're all doing the same thing and it's leading to a bunch of games that end up with players taking the same approach of "I only need to survive this tribe for like 3 rounds because oh look a swap."
