why was this blacklisted recently?

https://epicmafia.com/setup/1211687

this setup was beautiful in its simplicity, and survived a large sample proving its balance. much like any popular setup the average result is a 50/50 in a 3 way with 1 clear. can you enlighten me?

Until it gets popular and blacklisted again.

Trying to incept a capable competitive mindset into new traffic simply isn't possible without changing a lot of the code.


Taking GS out of FP would allow people freedom to claim as scum. Anything to break up the current meta is a step in the right direction.

The problem is people go from 7p setups to 8p setups. You can't learn how to scumhunt with people that refuse to play rationally. If you only have pointfarms and ml's, no one has to improve to be successful consistently.

There needs to be a baseline standard of play that people are expected to meet in comp, or you're just going to keep the redundant shitshow we have now. Short of an exodus to the comp lobby we'd needs mods to enforce it, and the refusal/disinterest will continue to play out until we get bored and stop coming here.

Just let everyone do what they want to do at this point so long as it does not infringe upon the enjoyment of other users.

Honestly blacklisting is a relic of a bygone era where competitive mafia was treated with respect



good point, judging by the amount of times yin-yang chaos was compd

I wonder what would happen if we unblacklisted everything but the most blatant of pointfarms so that FP and G&H have competition.

That was the only fun setup I played in the first few years on the site. I didn't get pointfarming at the time.

There's an arbitrary standard for pointfarms. I miss the one with the hunters.

even by those arbitrary figures like "the game average should be more than 5 minutes" this setup passes

sounds like the only substantial gripe that cant be countered is LK existing. I'm assuming the setup can be remade with leader or samurai

yes, it can be won day 1... just like guns and hookers or any other game with a gun and 2 mafia... except, this isnt a townsided POS

prob bc its a good setup to teach new people to hipfire and hipfire is frowned upon


this probably. Also the fact it can be won day one. And LK is a terrible role for anything other than unranked.

we are talking about a theoretical blue pool that includes mafia ;)

iirc the name is ironic. gun is used to slim down the blue pool or shoot between cc's like any other setup


slipping down the blue pool is much better than shooting the mafia :)
