Can this setup be blacklisted from comp.
First of all, it was never intended for comp, it's a setup that does not promote pure mafia. Rather it promotes the great strategy of doing absolutely nothing while the illusionist makes up their mind on who to shoot, which then comes up with the strategy for mafia to just purely waste town's time as well, which is quite frustrating whenever that does happen.
Putting that aside, it's played incorrectly. There is not one viable reason to nl d1. Yet despite this, players will refuse to play the setup the right way. I've played this setup countless times, so I think I should know how the setup is best played. Mafia are close to invulnerable d2, but very weak on d1, along with not knowing partners, and inability to use their gun without confirming a mafia. I've played enough games using the lynching d1 strategy with competent players that know how the setup is played, and while yes you can out some prs, you mislynch a fair amount of the time still, the benefits still far outweigh the disadvantages of playing this way.
So problem that nobody plays the setup correctly. And there is no move towards it being played correctly. Anyone who does has just got frustrated and stopped playing completely.
Also the games are absolutely disgusting, I swear the only scumhunting that ever gets done is based on act codes. I just had a game where 3 idiots assumed that actress had to be one of the two people who talked, that was the only read they came up with all game, I said they were idiots and that they were wrong on both counts, yet bleeder shoots obvious town and oh they were wrong? So their other read must be right because one of us HAS TO BE ACTRESS???? And obviously town loss because town are incompetent (plus throwing for zwink which has been obviously going on all round but beyond the point). There is hardly any scumhunting apart from this, plus there is no scumhunting going on d1, or until the illu shoots (because anyone who talks before the illu shot is mafia), so the time for actual scumhunting is effectively cut to nothing after all the actress bs. Also the fact that town can be utterly helpless when your bleeder is an incompetent **** who doesn't understand English, the games are truly a nightmare.
So blacklist HI, two guns, incompetent players, a setup that is played incorrectly, and you have to deal with Zwink all round, I'm struggling to see positives.
