Friends of EM, I come to you with a simple request:

Due to the arbitrary rules assigned to what can and can't be a comp setup, my favorite setup, dethy, will never be able to be one.

Although there are other setups that DIRECTLY and SPECIFICALLY break certain rules of comp setups, they are still allowed. (For instance, quite a few comp setups break the rule of having a win ratio within the parameters, https://epicmafia.com/topic/60963)

The main argument people have against dethy is that it is a townsided setup with too few players. The latter can be discarded immediately. If it's a game of length you're looking for, some dethys can go on for quite a while if the reports don't line up well enough.

The former is a bit harder to explain, but I'll do my best.

It only looks townsided due to the win % breakdown. This is mainly due to new people who play and roll mafia not knowing how to create false reports. This, however, would not be a problem in comp, because everyone who would play would have the knowledge to do so. In addition, there is only one situation in which it is impossible for the mafia to win, in the grand scheme of things. If you're an adept enough player, you can wiggle out of any other.

Thus, I propose either the allowance of dethy as a comp setup, or, perhaps, a rewrite of what can be considered a "comp setup" altogether.

If you feel similar, please sign. I'd like to have an actual discussion, because this is a pretty important topic to me, and one that would get me more involved in comps altogether.
