I've only run game, and used random. In retrospect though I would have tweaked the randomization slightly to make a better game. If I recall, Clap and Lathum were the wolves, and both had been getting so much early attention in previous games. It ended quickly because of that and I think the game would have been better suited by tweaking the wolves to prevent that.
I also don't see the kind of metagaming CF is referring to. I mean people give such reasons as "I've been voting X a lot lately, so I won't vote him." Or there are the day one votes, but that's day one. I don't think people vote because of friendships, but I know I often need something, anything to narrow down my voting options for me.
