This website is far past the point where having ranked and unranked games in main lobby makes sense.
Both sandbox and main lobby suffer from this weird choice. Unranked games should go in sandbox, which will boost the ever slowing population of 12 person closed setups, and ranked games should go in main lobby.
Without the influx of unranked games being made, competitive games will not be second paged so fast, and thus fill more often, allowing more than 2 setups to be played each round.
As before, if anyone has the cajones to publicly disagree with me in this thread, I will take the time to not only prove that you are wrong, but I will put special care and attention into making you feel stupid in front of everyone.
May the odds be ever in your favor : )

Hey REDACTED
Don't know if you remember me but we had a day where we played a lot with REDACTED in the governer/godfather setup, and you taught me a lot of things and by the end I won as mafia. Yeah, so I remember you told me about Crypto's guide, and I read it and tried to act on it.
I played a lot of competitive today, and my win rate was well over 75% after really getting into that guide. And every time I've made it to the final three way, I've won (and most of those set ups I was maf).
I also made it to the leaderboard! (16th, but hey I've never been that close)
This is all very braggy, but for a guy who has a like a ~50% win rate at fancy pants, this is a big step I feel. I still play luck based games once in while, but when I play scumhunting games I take them seriously.
So thanks a lot for that day! Really got me into playing this game well and with a good degree of seriousness.
Cheers, REDACTED

The only negative that could possibly come out of bumping this thread as many times as I want is harm to my EpicMafia.com social image

No, there is not a consequence.

Is there a consequence to bumping this thread a million times?

It took like 6 months to get separate competitive and ranked hearts implemented, and there is no consequence whatsoever to me bumping this thread.
I have a feeling this thread will be around a while.
this site isn't a profit turner tho. it was one of lucid's projects (now he doesn't care), but he's a doctor. he's got way bigger fish to fry. maybe you could email him asking him to make you admin since he does nothing. i mean, you'll be much more proactive in implementing unnecessary features and with your attitude you'll fit right in with the weeaboo mod circlej― i mean group of good pals =)

I mean doing things the way we've always done them is an option, of course, and this website can limp to its grave turning a meager profit with a few thousand unique visitors a day between all lobbies combined.
It's almost like somewhere along the way, you all became confused and perceived the current methods as successful, when they are in fact completely impractical and ludicrous failures.

Thanks for the bump, friends. With your help, Lucid will see how widely in favor the community is of this idea.
but really the main reason this idea of yours won't work is due to something you've failed to address in all the pages of this thread and that reason is because the communities of main and sandbox are far too different. sandbox is shetposting and super casual games and unranked main (idk how long you've been around but i've been here since nov 2013 so i've spent most of time in training lobby for my first year or so) is for less casual than ranked games but the strats of setups are still present in most games. makes much more sense to keep gameplay-based games in the lobby that actually cares about gameplay. and if you try to mesh these two you're inevitably gonna have spillover between the two into each others' games, which will lead to all the cancer report fests. then the actual nongame facets of the community - general hostility to main lobby players, circlejerky behavior, some really, really nasty people. also sandbox moderators do literally nothing except the occasional chatban. adding unranked main into sandbox is gonna require a huge upheaval of leadership and a revamp of the rules. both of thsoe are gonna breed some really bad drama. we've already got a thread just for in-lobby drama and occasionally a link to something juicy from main. in fact, main and sandbox have only 2 things in common - drama and noavi policy. lucid also know quite well sandbox's self-destrictive tendencies and would not approve of anything this drastic, no matter what the poll says (which i feel is rigged my alts given how much flack your idea got in this thread. or it's biased given than this thread is just in main's forums and thus is getting support from only one side of the tracks. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ few sandboxer ever go in main.) so if you're really gonna keep pushing for a split of your lobby, consider moving people to an entirely new lobby rather than dumping them into a lobby that's basically the 4chan of epicmafia. or alcatraz, as bumpers has actually pretty accurately said.
i don't think main lobby scum really has any say in whether or not unranked main setups should be in sandbox.
1. sandbox isn't moderated for gameplay. unranked main is and will cause a large influx of cancer reports. 2. sandbox is a cesspool. you don't want to enter the cesspool trust me 3. ranked main setups are also played unranked and should remain in the lobby where they're ranked for learning and convenience. 4. if you want a full comp/ranked lobby go to comp lobby or make your own locked one 5. we don't want your ranked-playing kind 6. HOST MORE COMP GAMES ??????? are you too lazy
