Blacklist Fancy Pants and Classic

THE TITLE IS WRONG AND I CANT EDIT IT. IM ASKING FOR PROMOTING OTHER SETUPS IN REDHEARTS, JUST SO FP/CLASSIC AREN'T THE MOST PLAYED SETUPS AS THEY PROMOTE LAZY MAFIA.

Reasons why they should NOT BE THE DEFAULT SETUP OF MAIN LOBBY:

  • promote NLing D1 for insta lylo
  • promote following clears mindlessly
  • are overly reliant on mechanics instead of on actual scumhunting
  • are extremely luck based and promote passive town play which leads to all other setups have higher maf win ratios
  • coinflips are bad
  • promote CC fights instead of actual behaviour reading
  • reliance on swing elements that make the whole game a farce (FP in particular)
  • inflate bad players' win ratios making them think they are better than they really are
Which would be a better default setup for Main?

gistofeverything says

Mafia is 3 villagers a cop a doc to protect the cop and 2 scum. That's the way the forum game's been forever, that's the way people have grown up with the game in real life settings, so the essence of the game shouldn't really be changed imo. Variants are nice but like, when you say the word "mafia", classic setup should come to mind..

No it isn't as fancy as the newer competitive setups and no it isn't going to make people "better" at these setups and learn how to trophy. But most people come here to play some games of mafia either with their friends or to kill some time.

Although I would be supportive of removing red hearts from classic and fancy pants and leaving ranked for what it should be: the game of skill that is TEO and VDLI.

But don't remove classic or FP. You'll lose people fast.
