as I already said in the open queue thread

I object to popcorn mafia being in the list, not very suitable for a long game and better for marathons, could be dragged out in a long game

also, more than half of these setups are micros

i have nothing against micros, but surely there are also better alternatives with more players?

although that could undermine the fact that these are meant to be games which should fill quickly

In post 25, Isis wrote:Towns are very consistently beat mafia with EVs way way lower than 56% right now in nightless, I don't think that setup is very attuned to contemporary balance
assassin in the palace maybe?

although can that really classify as mafia

actually the optimal strategy for AITP involves zero discussion

so let's not put that in

when testing out featured setups, maybe they could be given only 1-2 weeks to fill or something like that?

then once it's clear that there's demand for them, give them the normal time to fill

maybe have two different lists for featured setups: "in testing" setups that are given the 1-2 weeks to fill that I mentioned before and a regular list that would function like they do now

personally, I don't think that the featured setups thing is a good idea at all: the approved setups are already a solution that works for first time mods and the featured games just clog up the queue, delaying games that people would actually be interested in

just my opinion
