ban guns from competitive games

deletedover 10 years

people are using the same mentality for shooting a gun as lynching, it's absolutely impossible to make a competitively viable setup with guns, they promote trolling and gamethrowing, the power to instantly remove one person from the game is overbearing and this community can't handle it. furthermore, remove deputy, sniper and gunsmith from competitive lobby and training lobby. part of the problem is guns cause games to become trollish, fast-paced and lower effort which has leaked onto other games, guns probably should be banned from competitive lobby yes, guns are slowly killing competitive lobby. and by slowly, i mean someone get nikki on the phone and tell him to ban guns from competitive lobby. guns are becoming the new lynch, that'st he problem with most new setups. lynching is only ever for lylos now, and equivalent to set in stone absolutes, rather than placeholders for FOSes and reactions. it also encourages a chain of command that makes reading harder, hence why most gun setups end up being scumsided. not only do you run the risk of a *** pr, you also lose any valuable voting process and instead get SHOOT KYLE LOL a bunch. by replacing lynching for a ML with guns, you effectively neuter most competent setups and ruin any form of methodical strategy that could be employed.

guns shouldnt be in comp lobby.. plain and simple, they are either game breaking for town and make easy wins out of nothing or they give mafia a free win because the person with gun shoots. also , theres an entire rule dedicated to hipfiring with guns. guns give people an excuse to grudge lynch people without being able to be opposed. if youre pr with gun you have full control no matter how much town objects, which is just silly.

setup the best setup is what more setups should look like. both PRs shoudl optimally hide instead of claiming , PR claim d1 is the only bad thing about VDLI. if one of the power roles was squishy instead of hard to kill (doc is "squishy, bp is "hard to kill", etc") then it would be great , imo.

and i remember when people actually LIKED playing those scumhunt based setups,. they preferred it to gimmick ones. regardless of whether anyone thinks overall play is worse or better, the attitude people have towards scumhunt setups or scumhunting in general is worse now, which makes overall play worse as a result.

@khnm- meiody is closer to me than she is to you. I protect her better than you do. so sit in the corner.


Melody it looks like you've got an internet admirer - you might want to change your address

exactly the kind of mentality most dumb people have. if you find a problem you try to kill the good thing so that the problem is gone. you dont try to fight it.

so if she is threatened by me she should fight me and report me to authorities. she should not be afraid and try to change her address.

since you cant play the gun setups properly. since you cant handle the clears who hold the gun, since you are not able to control the town when someone else has too much power, you want to kill the power for everybody who makes very good of that power. gun gives ml in a different way.

as far as i'm concerned, if it's not filtered, you shouldn't moderate it. that's really dumb.


Wrong buddy
The filter list isn't perfect and you're knowingly taking advantage of it

@squirtle- your explanation is moot. you are saying that it is bad for being what it is. it is a part of the game. it is how it is. if you know how to deal with that situation then you are a good player.

@squirtle-- gun smith gunning a random person is a situation you should learn to deal with while playing that setup. you dont encounter that in other setups. what is bad about a little bit of uncertainity?


I explained why it's bad and you're *** stupid.

you also banned A&D with just 7 people involved in the voting. you should take a sitewide voting for that too. i remember each word of that A&D thread i read when i was a mod. It was a very biased move from you. No one responded and you jumped the gun. didnt even let more people vote.


Banning it made more sense than being discriminatory and giving it a time out, as Arcbell tried to make a case for. Chill out though dude, bronto's doing amazingly.


you are another person who has no idea about games and setups. and about people too. you let weareking cheat because you thought it was a nice thing to do.
