Red Dots on Split Mafs

almost 10 years

I noticed there has been an update to make it so on a split setup; Town roles (not pro-roles) will have a red dot on them, telling them the setup has two mafia teams. I think this should be changed back so that town doesnt know whether or not there is one mafia team in the game..or two teams of competeing mafia, until they see that there are two deaths in one night.

Setups such as this one: https://epicmafia.com/setup/941274 have been hurt by this fact because the town is supposed to figure out the setup.

Yeah, I think EpicMafia is very good at allowing us to create setups. The problem is that we tend to want to get more into the details of how a setup should be played in order to make it a little more balanced by, for instance, having a bomb who kills the first person voting them, and having another bomb who kills at random.

All of these are petty changes and require a lot of coding. There are a lot of them. There are already a lot of setups. It would be ideal to have a team of setup creators who can be the determiners of what is and isn't blacklisted, but who could also directly ask lucid to program a setup how it should be to be properly tested.

This will never happen cause it just would have so much order to it that it would create a coding nightmare for lucid.

If this split mafia thing was changed, it should just be changed back. I completely understand how frustrating that is for a developer of a site, cause I personally hate changing things back to the way they were once I worked my tail off to make the change in the first place.

Doesn't change the fact that this update disrupts these types of setups..when it really doesn't have to.

@Jaleb it still applies to unranked games.

Red maf is going to get so much reward for winning compared to black.

I think the issue is in millers specifically in split setups.
