It's been proven time and time again that lobbies don't really work.
Remember when we had that silly period with the lower lobby where you won medals? It was awful.
What would make the most sense is a full screen main page that showed multiple lobbies as you scrolled down: competitive, then sandbox, then games etc.
However, since Lucid won't do that, our only choice is to customise main as best we can. Adding Chess to gold heart games is the best way.
I unironically agree with pranay; games other than mafia on epicmafia.com should be in the Games Lobby only. If this was followed Games Lobby would also be more active as people would try different games that they see opening there thus expanding popularity of different games.
And Fancy Pants would block out the ranked games more than Chess.
I think Pranay is Derfel on a new account btw

I challenge anyone to play chess with me and beat me in it. If they do, then you can allow the game in main lobby.
Condition- I will play blind- No time limit- . You can play on a board if you like. If you want i will share screen with you while i am playing.

There is a games lobby for a reason. The main lobby should be dedicated to mafia games. People come to the website and see different types of games in different lobbies. That is what makes it user friendly for them. They know what to do in which lobby.
If you make chess available in this lobby, then mafia games will be pushed on page 2 before they fill. This is a mafia wesbsite, and you can play chess on other sites too. I am not saying that we should not have chess, but keeping chess in main lobby means you are trifling with the main product of this website.
This website was created for playing mafia games. When you expand your products, you do not want to kill your original product.
All those who have degrees in Business should back me up here.
Besides, there is absolutely no problem if the game is in games lobby. It is more friendly there. This way you may even kill the games lobby. The page is too small for so many games to be played.
@sims, if you want to do it, please ask lucid once before you do it. He definitely knows how to run a business. You may not want to hamper his profit.
