Epicmafia handicap challenge

Transcend
almost 10 years

Give yourself a handicap in one game of epicmafia. This handicap can be anything from prohibiting the use of a certain letter to only posting while holding your breath. Think of a handicap then play an epicmafia ranked or competitive game. If you succeed then say so. If you fail then say so as well. Do not say what your handicap is until after the game. I have given myself one handicap and i failed. I was only allowed to speak once in every minute interval. I made it to 3 way but got lynched. Evidence: https://epicmafia.com/game/5110450/review

To be completely honest I dont really care that much, but Im kinda bored so I just wanna argue over it.


I know this already.

I just think it's inconvenient, rather than breaking a rule. I mean, let's be honest, we don't disallow people from playing comp just because they're terrible. This is highlighted by the fact we let you sit at competitive tables, Emil.


Im not having a person whom couldnt even cheat without getting caught insult me.En garde mofo

Edark says

Considering he himself acknowledges that its hindering him from winning as much Idk why you guys even argue that it doesnt.affect him


I mean I understand where you're coming from, but he's still actively trying to win. It doesn't affect his judgement if he's town, and it won't change the decisions he makes regarding bussing/defending his partner, or outing who he wants to lead on as mafia in discussion.


Yeah true, Im not saying he literally cant win by playing with these handicapps, but if it does impair his play so Idk why it should be allowed in competitve games. I do recall gimmicks getting banned for this reason.

Playing with a set of rules that will make you lose more often isnt playing with an intent to lose?

This thread is now about how awful Gerry is as a person and mafia player.
Mori

Dude what do you guys have against fun? He's not trying to lose the game. He tried hard nonetheless.

Also, how did Gerry win these? He's forced as hell.

lazy says

can't be GT if you arent trying to lose. and it isn't OGI cause you don't tell anyone.


He is indirectly trying to lose tho?


I don't particularly think so -- especially with the really innocuous ones like using a certain letter or only posting at certain intervals; the former example seems simple enough that it doesn't necessarily hinder your ability to win and the latter isn't objectively less optimal than talking all the time... right? Anyway, regardless, I'm siding with lazy lul

edit: though it's probably better not to do it in comp games with runners

Edark says

Isnt it lowkey OGI/GT to intentionally follow a set of rules that will make you lose more often?


not even lowkey


The text-based ones also potentially fall under gimmicks and hence run afoul of ISP
