Blacklist Classic Mafia

deletedalmost 11 years

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.

If you ever want comp to be healthy again you have to kill it now. This "Christopherzilla as mod" thing is probably the last opportunity we'll ever have


If you want comp to ever be healthy, give players a reason to join comp, not just because you dismiss all other set ups and only deem certain ones "playable." That's elitism at it's finest.


If we allowed classic mafia, it wouldn't be "comp" by virtue of a 50/50 coin flip not being a competition

orc on mafia n1 is fine for mafia because solo mafia can carry pretty easily since they don't have partner tells weighing them down. town are totally blind because there's no day 1 which is the best way to get reads

Republic, he's saying it's a coinflip because the N1 kill very greatly affects the outcome of the game. A more "balanced" setup wouldn't be so deeply impacted by whatever role is killed N1.


that's the case with every single competitive setup aswell


that's a stretch. only a few can be autowin N1 and others aren't as heavily impacted because a lot of comp setups have MLs too.


Name me one comp setup and i'll tell u why you're wrong


it really depends on what "greatly" means to you. I don't think the N1 kill in VDLI really matters that much.


Mafia hit miller 1 night 1 they're screwed, mafia hit the orc n1 on mafia they're pretty screwed, mafia hit orc on bp town is screwed


miller impact isn't that bad since miller is only beneficial to mafia on ML day anyway. Killing the orc who is on either the mafia or the BP happens a lot less often than killing Cop N1 in Classic.

I'm saying it is a coinflip because if both parties play optimally (which they sometimes do not because people who play these games are freaking idiots, explaining the margin of error) it is exactly a 50/50 shot.


so are you saying there's absolutely 0 reads that go into the games ?


the point is that in classic, you only need to read into cops. if you get that right, the partner is found via reports, and if you get it wrong, mafia win. therefore, the degree of reads is lessened tenfold

Isn't optimal play just suppose to be having fun no matter what the set up? I guess I'm confused.


Optimal play is taking the very simple step of adding 2+2 in order to win


That's not playing that's doing math.

Math isn't fun.

@Connor what you said makes more sense, I was looking at it differently.

Classic/FP with daystart then. :B


Must lynch would probably be fine


must lynch gives mafia the option to not-cc cop but ends with a reduced EV, but still better than not-ccing and NLing.

optimally, must lynch means nothing changes.

If there are, no one bothers forming them.

isn't that the same with like, every mafia set up?


No. There's always some swinginess depending on the N1 kill, but there really aren't as many that are impacted to the same degree as Classic, but I think that's also largely because people flounder around in that setup if cop is N1'd.
