It has long been claimed that novae reaching the highest luminosity at the peak of their eruptions appear to fade the fastest from maximum light. The relationship between peak brightness and fade rate is known as the Maximum-Magnitude, Rate-of-Decline (MMRD) relation. Lightcurve parameters for the most recent sample of M31 recurrent novae are presented and used to buttress the case that the observed MMRD relation can be explained as a consequence of observational selection effects coupled with expectations from standard nova models.
