Blacklisting fancy pants is a freaking awesome step that you just took, mods. However, classic mafia is mechanically the exact same setup
Please please follow through with the awesome decision you have partially made and destroy the scourge that has plagued us for years instead of just one head of the hydra. Compared to what was expected, fancy pants has died with very little commotion.

Well I guess you can just let classic mafia stay and after I win an 80% w/r gold this round I'll just retire as the best ever, confident that no new player will ever touch my throne.
New players just pick whatever is the easiest setup to push through to hit the point requirement. By the time that's over, they don't feel the need to advance to anything else.

"CONGRATULATIONS! YOU FLIPPED 1000 COINS. YOU. ARE. GAY!!!!!!"
in an ideal world, new players would play about 3-4 different setups to start off with, but that doesn't occur naturally. what happens is that one setup - CM or FP - is just played constantly. so either try to force a good setup to become the "meme" setup (BV, B2NS, O2R, C14...) or find a way to enforce a diversity of starter setups (lucid intervention required)

Points dont do anything anyway. Why do you guys insist on a ranked coinflip as opposed to an unranked coinflip?

Put classic mafia in sandbox with all of the other RNG "Games" ranked games are supposed to be about skill
we already have it half way. 4p yakuza is a mafia win with 2 of the four being mafia. we just need to find a way to make the town version

anyway, blacklisting classic mafia would be ridiculous.

most vdli games are filled with meta buddies, so at least one town will be meta clear in most games, leaving the clear, and the meta clear, you as mafia are pretty much screwed . I trophied on vdli and it's a terrible setup because of meta buddying
Okay, theres gotta be a setup out there where 50% of the players/roles win 50% of the time without lynching without someone being able to decide who wins
But its hard to come up with good ideas

i'm not saying classic is a good setup, i'm definately not saying classic is better than jan 2.0, i've never once said that. i'm a jan 2.0 legend and god, however classic is literally the fundamental stepping stone to learn the game, i played classic mafia up until i got to 1500 points then i went to comp, all i'm saying is classic is NEEDED and is a BETTER setup than FP if you are JUST starting off
