Featured Setups list

Isis · Post Post #0 (isolation #0) » Mon Apr 26, 2021 12:57 pm

This setup is for discussing the featured setups list and advocating for removal or additions for the list.

Advocacy can be based on balance, overall appeal, recent trends, and a setup being overdue or underdue for how recently it's been played.

Please be respectful, especially if someone is advocating for a very new setup they are associated with the be featured. This should be realistic and a common occurrence.

Current list is here:

What do people think about Popcorn Mafia? It was popular in marathon queue which is why it was liste but I'm very open to an alternative. It sought to serve a role as a larger setup that felt distinct from a normal.

No there isn't my bad >_< I meant last marathon weekend

Once upon a time, in a legendary time, there was a blitz queue though.

Featured setup are setups that hopefully fill in just one week.

You can run blitz setups, but we're not opening up marathons to the open queue. If we did that again, it would be the micro queue/lilith I think.

I don't actually want to a
Play noughts and crosses but some people seemed into it.

I could definitely add Chromavalon. Could someone make a wiki page for the setup? I think Chromavalon would be a likely fill.

I added chromavalon for a moment but had to remove it because the article was using "lynch". I will have to write it myself later.

It is intentional that it is mostly micros. I think there is underserved demand for open micros.

I'm interested in adding a 13er or two though

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

Isis · Post Post #28 (isolation #9) » Wed May 19, 2021 5:20 pm

I added a setup

Isis · Post Post #29 (isolation #10) » Tue Jun 01, 2021 2:42 am

In post 28 I was referring to vengeful mountainous I believe. Deputy Cultists has now been added.

Isis · Post Post #33 (isolation #11) » Thu Jun 03, 2021 2:03 pm

It currently has its own queue, essentially. What would you want to be different.

In post 31, lendunistus wrote: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

The fill rate of featured and unfeatured setups seems similar so far. If I was convinced by data that featured setups fill slower on average I would definitely discontinue them.

Ahh. I think 2 is the right number of slots, but it's not impossible 3 would be better.

Isis · Post Post #39 (isolation #14) » Fri Jun 04, 2021 5:59 am

I think blitz was only being used as a comparison

Isis · Post Post #41 (isolation #15) » Sat Jun 12, 2021 11:37 am

I am going to make a wiki page for that exploder game so i can feature it, it seems alright and was very popular

Isis · Post Post #43 (isolation #16) » Sat Jun 19, 2021 2:31 pm

I read into the act of pulling a lot, and didn't check where it was at. My working memory was short, I guess.
