How is this not a hipfire?

There was enough in-game context to gather reads

It was like 10 seconds into the game and the person who got shot hadn't even spoke nor was he asked for his claim.

He also admitted it was a hipfire in the original report and already has an active GT vio.

We've determined that dzandek's shot was based on PoE and not solely at random.

Hipfiring is shooting without reads. Since he shot based on PoE according to those who spoke at daystart, his shot is not deemed as hipfire.

Hipfiring does not mean shooting without PR claims, and hipfiring does not mean shooting before everyone has spoken.

I feel this issue has been thoroughly explained and the complaint satisfied. I'll leave this open for a bit before closing it.

The guy who got shot was ok with hipfiring.


Why do you say that

Because he said the phrase after he was shot? He had to in order to survive which doesn't mean he was ok with the play

If it was 7 players day start with 3 mafia and a sheriff role. Sheriff shooting town would make it 3 v 3 which would end the game.

Need a mod poll, how many mods agree that this is a hipfire


Chill, we're talking about it.

The other argument is that dzanek had PoE reads which he could have I guess. That would make this borderline hipfire and perhaps not vio worthy.

I personally think he just yolo'ed with the HELL YEAH strat.


Why can't you all discuss it here?

As for this other argument that I've already gone through how it's wrong, is randomly shooting in 6 players not enough for it to be hipfire?

Right, so you're saying if the setup was 7 players day start with sheriff + 3 mafia, then it's okay for the sheriff to instantly shooting (since it'd be 3/6 chance of him shooting mafia)? The game would instantly end if sheriff shoots a town in this case. That's why this other argument is trash even if it was true.

That hell yeah strat is annoying and obviously intended to hipfire.

I'm just stressing a few points:

1 - There wasn't enough content

4 players hadn't even spoke, 2 players said 1 line, 1 player quoted and said the same thing twice and another 1 player (JM123, arguably the only who could possibly be read) had said a few lines. Marco said 1 line which was "i am blue finally". This could easily be forced, it's no where near enough to generate a read upon him. It's a far stretch to say he TR'ed him based on that

2 - The gun shot being ~15 seconds into the game. This is far too early for it to not be a hipfire. There can't be any genuine thought process as he wouldn't be able to analyze content and gather reads that quickly.

3 - The fact that it was expose/solace who were arguing his defence being that he PoE'd the shot whilst dzanek in fact admitted his shot was based on luck.

4 - Extra info which should be taken into account here - https://epicmafia.com/topic/77577 Thread about hipfiring made by Cody and how competitive is going to moderate hipfires more strictly. The fact that this was a comp game, the fact that dzanek is experienced and the fact that he has an active GT vio. Clearly these things mean nothing to you

My opinion is not worth more than an admins and a mods. We will see what the whole team thinks.

It is a hipfire.

Solace: I can see dzanek townreading MARCO and JM123 and shooting in the remaining 6 players. 3/6 - fair shot.

*Two hours later*

dzanek1143: My shot was based on luck

Never bothered to state a process of thought. Just vio him already and let a more entertaining thread to arise so it enables my procrastination.

He never actually lied about it, he did say in the original report filed that he hipfired and more clearly explained his shot was based on luck in https://epicmafia.com/topic/78528

It was solace and expose who tried arguing that dzanek shot via PoE by TR'ing JM123 and Marco

I don't think anyone can PoE in 15 seconds and when the reads don't include every player, so dzanek obviously hipfired and then lied about it
over 8 years
I mean it's pretty straight forward also the fact that expose/solace were doing the defence for dzanek (the defence itself being far stretched; claiming there was sufficient context), rather than dzanek himself saying his thought process as to if he PoE'd the shot (dzanek in fact stated in the other thread that his shot was based on luck).

That's been deteriorated and stomped on for a long time buddy

I'm fighting this for the integrity of competitive mafia. This should've been ruled as GT and the game should've been refunded.

Solace drifted away from the argument and attempted to justify his decision with "we're trying to be more lenient" and "he was given a verbal warning", rather than actually arguing how it wasn't GT (well he tried arguing how it wasn't at the start of this topic until I defeated him via logic).
