Have people considered making the day- times(till kicks) a lil shorter in comp games, like we really shouldn't take 20 minutes to get past d2 or something in a 7-8 player setup. Also a change to the voting/kicking system should be considered at some point though I don't have any better ideas at the moment. But the current one just feels slightly janky. I realize this post will be ignored cus it's more trouble than not to make these slight adjustments but I honestly believe these are improvements

That argument is also dumb cus I'm sure good players if they are actually good can play on a shorter time limit easily and rarely need 40+ minutes to find mafia in a 8-10 table setup. Though they do it because the system allows them them to and more time = more confident with their decision I guess.
people (namely, me) have been saying this since 2010. it still hasnt changed. the main argument is that the game goes as long as the majority wants it to, which, when you think about it in a live setting, makes sense. however, for online play, a much more strict time limit would make the game run more smoothly.
the other argument is that competitive games should take as long as they need, but that argument is dumb because competitive mafia isnt a real thing. it's just a way to breed elitism between regulars on this site
I think days should definitely get to kicks in around 9 minutes and nights can be a tad shorter. at the very least I'd like to see small modifications to the game system every once in a while just to show people care about making the game more enjoyable.
Families definitely could gain some notice and possibly be bigger, and you know...actually serve a purpose. Just having a goals list isn't all that much LOL. Not sure if being on the lobby page is all that necessary tho
I think a lot of people mess up in fact in the most common setups town only wins about half of the time. If town can get mafia 50% of the time in 10 minutes then perhaps if we double it then town would win 100% of the time? perhaps 150% if we triple but I understand that would greatly lengthen games and I'm not sure if it's worth it.
That's a really good point. Usually when I am within games I constantly wonder who is within a family(and with whom), and I don't understand how families aren't more important in a game centered around the mafia. Perhaps we should provide a scrolling list of family names along with their members on the lobby page so people can be more informed.
Most people f*ck up their reads if they take half an hour on one day, I think it's fine how it is. You can't say it's only needed for 7-8 player set ups either when jan is comped every round
I think we should make the day a little longer, perhaps get 20 or 30 minutes for each day to really encourage scumhunting. As for the kicking system, I think there should be a game message that says if someone has kicked because if you don't have sound on you might not realize that someone has kicked.
