What would happen to the community if FP was blacklisted for a week? Would people be forced to play new/different setups? It's so hard to get anything other than FP to fill. Let's blacklist FP for a week and see if we can improve the quality and skill of the community!
Honestly, Fancy Pants is an incredibly boring setup. Now in it's essence it's a good iteration of the classic mafia setup, but the saturation of it in the Main Lobby is crazy. It doesn't teach any new players anything and is just a sheeping setup (most of the time).
lol, you're saying if people can't play a setup for 1 day, they will quit for a week? let's blacklist it for a week then! (kidding) People will just move to different setups it's been proven time and time again. Minesweeper? Reverse? Those are perma-banned. If you think 1 day will make people quit you're delusional. At worst, they go to class or frolic in the flowers for a day instead of playing epicmafia.

Instead of trying to make people NOT PLAY setups that they like, why don't we ENCOURAGE them to play more interesting setups by bringing back the amazing role known as The Ventriloquist??? I have also been playing a lot of new-to-me setups which are the Gold Heart games lately. I feel that other than the inexplicable exclusion of the Ventriloquist, that the merging of Training and Comp lobbies has been a huge success. The site seems like it almost always has more games going on at any given time than it used to.......
I agree, only if classic mafia, guns N hookers and some other conformist setups were blacklisted as well. Generally, though, I think that this idea could not be easily implemented, as any group of 10 people or more can make a similar setup ranked, (e.g. fancy pants without doc but with bodyguard), then play it. Cutting Hydra's heads won't help. Killing Hydra would.
Every week on the first day of the competition, blacklist FP and G&N. Call it competition day. Forces players to try new setups and after "competition day" they can return to their beloved FP or mix in some comp setups. What could possibly go wrong?
