ranked mafia games is the only niche that this site actually has and the one that is used by most users of the site. cept the sandbox people. they still play mafia tho. i dont see a legit reason for lucid to not do this and to instead make tons of games that u can play on other sites anyway while ignoring the mafia game issues on epic mafia because they're "not worth the effort" when they CLEARLY CLEARLY ARE
how exactly is that more effort than it's worth? lucid adds roles and games that people barely use more than once a week a ton but you dont see anyone saying the same thing about that and this is definitely probably easier than creating a copy of cheat or egyptian ratscrew. this is something that ppl will actually use frequently and will be a good addition on to the site.
This is precisely the issue and it's been made clear that the coding required is a lot more effort than it's worth.

as some1 who has gone thru trainin lobby a lot im pretty qualified to say that this will annoy unbanned users much more than banned ones

u only get 1 alt that u cant delete for 24h after every game and cant delete with vios or reports open on u, how exactly does it matter?
abc will never, ever run out of accounts regardless of whether or not he can link them. he has way more time and willpower to farm them than the average person and he already has tons over 1500. not to mention that if his alt gets banned his main does as well.
except that the # of abc alts w/o the requirement is basically the sum total of legitimate players. that's just how persistent he (and a few others) are
only a bit harder, doubt it makes that much of a difference tbh. plus there's way more legit players who want to use their alts to play in comp than the few looking to evade a ban
Ah, there's a good argument to keep it in place. It makes it a bit harder for banned people to join comp with all kinds of illicit accounts.

also anyone who says it doesnt take much time to get 1500 point is wrong because it takes at least 4-5 days without extreme good luck. id know more than any1 b/c of ban evading. playing redhearts in training / main is and always will be a coinflip until you outlaw like fancy pants, classic, and that gun crap for at least 3 months, which will probably not happen becuz the administration has no stones
I don't think it's a 10 minute fix, he would have to recode how you join a competition. All alts would have to join together with the main to meet the requirement.
It's a coding issue. The competitive lobby used to be the requirement to join the competition, once your main is in the lobby it takes no points to join the competition. Hence your alts could join without issue. Now there's only one lobby so the requirement had to be set on the competition itself, meaning each alt must meet the requirement.

i mean, people have had alts in comp with the same restriction for 3 years, i dont see the issue or even the purpose

thats a pretty stupid thing to say. ive been playing for over 5 years, i shouldnt have to play 50 coinflips that just bore me to death to join the competition with a new account. farming up 1500 on ur MAIN is proof enough that ur srs AND KNOWLEDGABLE enough to play comp on an alt, especially with the alt deleting restrictions that makes the mods jobs soooo much easier.
