Marathon weekend coming up on 24-27th May!! Get hyped!
Hello mafia discussion people!
Recently I've been pretty invested in looking through the open setup discussion subforum. I can't really calculate EV all that well & rarely have ideas to improve setups but it's really interesting to see some of the ideas people float.
The challenge with a lot of these setups is that past theoretical discussion, it's tough to gauge how fun they are to play, or how balanced they are beyond just the EV. The Open Queue has been firing slowly lately & even with deadline compromises, it takes a few weeks (if not a month or longer) to test a game. Even then, that's only one single run of a game, when it could take multiple runs of a game to really figure things out.
I was chatting to northsidegal about the same thing and basically we had a pretty similar idea: the next time the Marathon Weekend comes around, a group of people get together to play through those untested or barely-tested setups!
In a nutshell the intention here is:
- This should not be an exclusive/invitational group.
- People who would be interested in trialling open setups can express interest; provide a Discord tag if you'd like, and I can poke people when the time comes.
- If you would be interested in trialling particular open setups, speak up!
- If you would be interested in playing a butt-tonne of neat open setups, speak up!
- Come Marathon Weekend, as a group we'll aim to trial as many of these as humanely possible.
Some setups which jump to mind, for example, are Something_Smart's Bipartite Mafia, implosion's Pollock's Flag, and maybe even that brilliant setup idea in the back of your mind right now!
Anyway - just after opinions and expressions of interest now. Who would be keen? Are there any setup ideas you want tested?
