Anon setups in comp

almost 10 years

It is an utter disgrace that Anonymous setups have been banned from comp. The unprofessional manner it has been dealt with, makes it even more shocking. Anonymous setups have been banned mid-round without an explanation? (They are not popular is not a reason btw).

I know for a fact that several mods and perhaps admins are not on board with this ban. Heck, Lucid himself has said that he has no problems with anonymous setups in comp. I can point to many rounds of the past where anonymous setups have been played with no issue (pre DUFF era.)

I worked bloody hard to trophy and I want to be allowed to comp the setups I choose. 3 of my setups were removed for a variety of made up reasons. This one is by far the most ridiculous. I want a full explanation of why anon setups are banned.

If your argument is solely against the recent surge of DUFFS setups , I wish to pose you a question. Is it our fault that weve won a lot of trophies recently and want to comp these setups? This is a joke.

Anon setups actually allow for a less biased comp game without the use of meta and ogi.

Please give me more than a one line response. I want the name of whoever decided this. Answer for yourself.

The best argument for keeping anon setups is: why not?

it incites trolling almost all the time without a pre-made table. it's fun but only fit for reds

yyc remains comp'd cuz it's encompasses all games played this round. removing it disrupts the round. swapping vdli anon with vdli has no effect

It's not like people don't do that in regular non-anon setups. You're letting YYC be comped, but arguing that an anon setup shouldn't be comped.

already said this is the last round of YYC.

the only real argument you have that are pro anon setups is it stops cheating (Sike because cheaters will just tell the other person who they are and friends who play in groups will just out who they are at the start of the day)

I mean, it's not like you can't read people in anon setups.

People fake dumbtelling in ano setups, people troll and role play in anon setups

it's against the whole playing style of compettive mafia because one of the things about mafia is being able to have reads on players based on how they acted in prior games, based off their experience ect.

Think of any sport or any competitive thing and you'll realize that people are able to know who their opponent is before hand so they can adjust their playing style to match or defeat their opponent.

it isn't any harder to read people in anon, it only limits the types of reads you can get

What I should say in this moment is: I am grateful for the review of this decision. I am glad to see the sanctity of comp and the integrity of mods has been restored.

What I'm really thinking: rekt

I fail to see why anon isn't the default on competitive setups.

because mafia is a game about reading people

Precisely. And OGI shouldn't affect it what so ever.
A good player will be able to read the game/players regardless of whether he knows all the people in the game or not.

The duffs stuff is annoying. Tired of seeing it everywhere. The last time I remember an anon setup (that wasn't this stupid duff stuff) being comped was well before main lobby was even a thing. Anon setups are not competitive worthy and shouldn't be. Comp is serious and anon setups are never taken serious from what I've seen. They are meant for fun in unranked and red hearts so leave it at that thanks

Caroline I like you but frankly I don't care if you find Duff's annoying. If you win 7 trophies in a row and comp Caroline setups I won't complain, you deserve it. And drake I'll get back to you , I'm at work right now but I'd love to tell you why anon is comp worthy

if you'd like a serious response let me just put it this way,

anon setups despite what you may think do not fit the criteria of a competitive game.

If you can post reasons why you believe it is competitive worthy I'll give you just as many reasons why it's not, I don't have anything against DUFFs and i don't know why you'd think I would care about DUFFs anon setups
