This thread seems to have been hijacked with people taking it all kinds of directions. Let's try and bring this around full circle so we can nip it in the bud.
We all know VEM is used. This much has been confirmed.
We do not know the complete details and neither should we. Fair enough.
I was asking for at least one of WGT's finest to release a simple yet official overview of VEM and offer a simple explanation of what it is and how it improves the game for the benefit of all players that didn't understand.
I wasn't asking for a disclosure of the mathematical formula used nor a justification for the use of VEM, just a helpful statement to put minds at ease.
My understanding is that many mistakes are largely down to human error, possibly technical issues and VEM is the marginal difference of variables that swings both ways and can work for or against a player.
My original post simply requested a simple but official response. I didn't want random opinions. It would seem some people just can't help themselves or maybe it's a deliberate attempt to overload the thread with random rubbish?
Here is a good post from WGTniv posted earlier in this thread. It would be nice if WGT could just answer this officially in the FAQ's where everyone can find it, instead of on the forums.
