Comp is so bad right now, its actually just funny. Theres nothing else to it. It's simply funny how bad it is. I think its time you all realize this. The sooner you accept that, the quicker we can fix it. Because games are just s'hit. They are played like reds and no one cares about throws/meta abuse/ect anymore and these are suppose to be competitive games. Mods are forgiving 'bad play' reports more now than ever. I saw a gt alt with 18-50 record. it takes actual skill to reach that level as a gt alt and not be banned by now. He srsly must have some top tier main outplaying mods with dumbtells
I'm writing to request we split the lobbies: Competitive/Casual.
We need a comp atmosphere to have a competition. Moderation of comp lobby should be harsher too. Trust me on this. Tables are so s'hit. Players have no clue what they're doing. Go with me here. I used to play competitive CPL cs1.6. Google 'vilden mage' and you'll find me. I know a casual game vs a competition. Merged lobbies ruined the comp aspect I used to rly enjoy
All you have to do now is ask lucid to do it. Keep asking until he does it.
Just do it.
Examples of a 'competitive' games in the current lobby
Froce and OohashiAkko overthrow him to lynch a town
They blame others in post game when they lose
There are so many terrible players like this that it isn't a competition it's like a r'etard magnet filled with trolls, gt'ers, and idiots. A lobby exclusive to comp players will intimidate players in such a way that they worry more about their own improvement and gameplay. When you have such a casual, s'hitty lobby, it facilitates players who arent playing to win or COMPETE as they should be
you are in the minority right now vilden whether you think it or not, the player composition is not filled with people who come to epicmafia for high octane scumhunting matches, rather they're bored or want to circlejerk with their friends

she meant that for the lobby not competition as a whole
I disproved everyone downvoting my topic btw. Annajane wasn't around during comp lobby, shes also a casual survivor player. You guys should do me a favor and remove the downvotes
who says i want to keep it social? i was the one who got the lobbies to merge with bumpers because we were trying to force players to get used to the competitive mindset. that was the whole intention in the first place instead of letting training players play with other training players and develop bad habits.
what happened however is that training players refused to change their habits regardless of what we did.
Retti you're being close minded then. This is the biggest live mafia site isnt it? There are ppl interested. And because you want to keep it social, you're against the idea. I dont get it

you need to give up on the idea of mafia being in a competitive format, trust me
you'll be better off just signing up to play forum mafia or something instead of trying to force the meta to change where people can actually explain their reads or not sheep the clear
you aren't active or aware of the playerbase, you don't know who's currently playing, 3 comp tables being played at once is still normal. for a start that is definitely enough tables to get a comp exclusive lob going

Guides need to be readily accessible. I don't think someone playing fancy pants knows to look for crypto's guide.
and the epicmafia newbie guide doesn't really explain much
"magically" because its so hard to spread word to people. you're making blind assumptions, and there will always be casual players. sometimes i play casually in reds

this is a social website before a mafia site, therefore this will never happen
Gerry you took my example literally man. The point is a comp lobby will definitely bring back people and boost in popularity (stronger competition and more fun)
no one is gonna just magically come back cause there is a new comp lobby. it will also reduce the amount of casual players that become comp players.

crypto's guide is good but nobody follows it, the website cares more about the win instead of the means of getting a win, which is why you see players like pranay thrive
