The moderators are forbidding me from comping Classic Mafia (along with other variants such as Fancy Pants) because it is "uncompetitive". While it's on the mods to provide proof that it's uncompetitive, they have not done so, so I would like to start a poll and debate on whether or not this setup is comp worthy.
My vote is "yes". There is a huge skill gap in Classic Mafia. Some Classic players have 40% winrate, while some have 60% or more. You can't say that is all just luck, there is meta mindgames and scumhunting involved, and good report faking is a must.
It's just too one dimensional. It's not a scumhunting setup like Cry'n'Spy, because there's a cop. So people use the cop as a crutch to carry them through.
The only mafia play is to CC cop, or not cc cop. If they hit blue and don't cc cop, it's p much town auto. If they do CC cop it becomes a coin flip bc no one talks in that setup and people rely on stupid meta like "that person typed inno before the name!"
If it was 10 people it'd be a lot better tbh, but as it is now, it's far too simple a game.
There are 0 rules in here about game length. The only thing it says is "moderator discretion", and you should only apply this towards setups that are clearly broken.
I spent around 20 hours of my life getting a trophy, and about 3 days of my life defending myself and posting personal information so I could keep that accomplishment. Now I can't use my award to comp this setup when there's 0 logical reasons for it to not be competitive?
https://epicmafia.com/round/92 Classic is comped and 1000 competitive games are played. You're lucky if you even get 500 competitive games played right now.
80% of the people on this game or more only play Classic for a reason. You don't even want to try to court them into playing competitive by letting Classic be competitive.
ALL THEY SAY IS, "IT GOT BANNED A LONG TIME AGO DEAL WITH IT". THEY CAN'T EXPLAIN WHY IT'S BANNED OR WHY IT'S UNCOMPETITIVE WHEN ITS ONE OF THE MOST BALANCED GAMES ON HERE
