So I was wondering why arent masked games the norm for competitive play here? That would solve the whole meta clearing bs that goes on as well as people staring at one's stats just to see if they agree with their decision or not. It is quite annoying being in a middle of a game, im mafia, almost got the win then suddenly somebody starts getting meta cleared and town wins. Or one person that's obviously mafia will still win just simply because their stats are good and people sheep them. Logic says they're obvious mafia but their stats says win. And they gonna keep their stats good because of how a lot of people stare at them too much. I myself dont base judgement off stats but it seems it's different for a lot others.
I didnt check the pool yet, but obviously it will be biased. There are way too many people that meta abuse and throw that they won't want that players to play proper for once. You shouldn't make a pool. you should enforce it.
Now the circlejerkers can not only have a leg up by playing together in the first place, but ONLY THEY will know who the others are and the meta attached to them, this awesome perk brought to you by Epicmafia.com anonymous!
Anon just turns into people role playing as whatever skin you get and then people being like "Well I dislike that skin so I'll vote them cuz hahaha this is a meme anyways because we have fake names". I get the idea of "you have to read people blindly without meta" but that's just never gonna happen. If you think every game won't be people in threeway going "OK I AM X AND I NEVER CC AS MAFIA I CAN'T BE JAN YOU KNOW I'M COP DUDE. DUDE IS THAT YOU, Z? OMG YOU KNOW HOW I PLAY" or every CC or every hammer or every BW becoming people revealing themselves because that's the best way they know to ATE and survive a lynch, then I think you're not a rational thinker. And if you want to "prohibit" identity claiming then good luck stopping all the hidden meta that will grow out of people revealing their identity to certain people through certain ways of speech or appealing or talking. This is a horrid idea.

Jeff is right. It's not hard to figure out who is who. Anon is stupid
Now if we could get lucid on board, I'm sure it isn't hard to find a way to create a comp game that you can add a deck to. For example, when I mouse over "Play", I get this:
However, lucid should make it possible to have it comp and anon, ranked and anon, etc.
It's really not much harder to program. The only problem is that if you report someone, you have to include the game link instead of directly reporting from the game.
