I'm a proponent of comp being restricted to only dawn start scumhunt setups but at least I realize that I'm the only one who wants that and that it will never happen. I'm a realist idealist.

I didn't realize that they banned the role, that's dumb. Hey jackhammer my setup hasn't been plussed yet

It is. I'm pretty sure Zovea has unrealistic expectations here.

What you /can/ do however, is not restrict play like mods keep trying to. It inhibits creativity. You guys are also being biased about it and only banning the stuff you don't like, ignoring stuff like night start even though it's just as "uncompetitive" as yakuza etc.

Comp isn't supposed to be pure scumhunts only

That's because of the setup, not the role.

I don't know why we're banning the Yakuza role and not other nonsensical roles such as, but not limited to, the Oracle.


I thought they just got rid of fishers price. Which is too heavily reliant on night actions and you can figure out the mafia in like a minute based off common sense. Its a fun setup but kind of silly

Speaking of mods, ban the tumblrites ...

Zovea wants to enslave the good ol' fancy pants playing White Man who don't want nothin' but a good time and force them to work on the gold heart plantations

So. Fight a white day,huh? Must be time to thin out the herd. We left you alone while you rioted and burned private property. We even left you alone while you disrupted our dinner. But DON'T BE FOOLED into thinking that we will sit idly by and let you attack us. No No No, not gonna happen. If you are tired of being on this earth and are too stupid to kill yourself,then by all means, attack. You'll be fertilizer VERY soon.

That's a pretty nahtzee-esque way of thinking; you can't really gas the bad players on a site that's ideally made for having fun. Yeah OK the mods could potentially be more strict when it comes to limiting (allowing?) setup choices throughout the round but when it comes to individual games there's not much you can do except go on a button-mashing-spree if they do a wrong move.

Care mad internet weirdo Zovea is on a crusade to enforce qualitative java mafia play on quality mafia site www.epicmafia.com while simultaneously accusing other members of his e-tribe of being "unproductive"

As there are no blacks in my county , I guess I'll have too "load" up and go walking around down town !!
You know going too come a time when the black folks going too need Ole Whitey's help and we are going too tell them to get ****** !!
One more thing , If 16% of the populace wants too start a race war against say what 40% of Whites ( Of which only 3% will probably start and finish ) well that's just crazy Bring It On, and too the Victor goes the spoils and we will settle this once and for all !!

That's because the role is bad and not in fact good


I'm betting that you couldn't arrive at 3 unique and relevant points to defend this statement. I'm also betting you're not willing to attempt to prove me wrong.

I lurked in the shadows for less than a day, and then I got what I wanted.


I'd tell you about my fishing trip yesterday, but because you're a caremad with a low IQ I will subject you to the full force of my internet persona instead. Eat my butthole, White Hater.

You're making some good points.

On the other hand bad players always existed.


It wouldn't be so bad if mods would actually work to curb bad play. However when you let bad play run rampant and refuse to do anything for comp while actively working against comp you end up where we are now.


What are you suggesting

I typed 3 paragraphs but I'm still gay and bad at mafia. Screw anglocentrism





Wow you managed to disappear for a whole 2 days. I bet you spent that time lurking in the shadows waiting to strike instead of doing productive things with your life.

Yet the mods banned the yakuza role from comp a couple rounds ago


I wonder how long the mods are going to destroy competitive viability for the sake not having to deal with reports? I can not think of a single changed the mods have made for comp that didn't have "not having to deal with it in the report section" as a core reason for making the change.

The viability of yak has to deal with the fact that it destroys the notion of clear and forces individuals to be invested in winning games. Ignore the fact that Yak can be abused, that what we have mods for. In between heavy handed moderation (how willing do you think people will be to abuse yak if they were suspended from games for 2 days for doing it or just flat out received cheating violations for it?) and Lucid (yea yea I know, however if we revive the role and make it popular it should bump it up on his none site priority list) we should be able to use the last remaining role on this site that forces people to open minded about it when played to restore comp to whatever glory its capable of.

You people will never actually be able to comprehend this because you gave up on DLYV for follow the clear setups.


I like DLYV


And DLYV is probably why you weren't sucked into farming CM. We really need to find a DLYV because at its core it forces you to be invested in winning games as any role, not just as power role. I think it can resurrect the villager role, something the FP farmers have worked to destroy.

By "you people" do you actually mean "white people" Zovea?


Not this time, no. By you people I mean the generation of comp players left after the original splitting of the lobbies and anyone that came up playing DLYV. The problem with this generation is that instead of fostering meta and solid mechanical play, they relied on reads and ate as methods of playing the game, which in turn has led to the "self vote and hope the clear hammers right" mentality going on in red heart games.

The party game mafia is literally a pvp game. I tried it once with my friends after having played this for a while, but it was too easy because I could literally just go down the line and ask "what did you do last night" to everyone present just to read faces. I used this method of forcing mechanical errors heavily during the 2 rounds I was active because no one playing currently has an experience playing directly against themselves from game to game.

That being said, if someone makes a mistake in game everyone should notice it and everyone should make use of it until that player fixes that mistake. That's how you foster good play and good players.
