What is actually a game-throw?

almost 7 years

I have been reported 2nd time, and yes I already filed an appeal.

Game Throwing - Intentionally playing against your win condition or not playing to win.

What about situations where you know you are already pushed to the corners and left your chances of winning to probability; rather than going for the optimal one and hoping the other side makes a mistake?

Isn't that still playing to win or I am wrong?

EDIT: Fix format

The general spirit of playing to your win condition is using a strategy that in your opinion, should reasonably lead to a greater chance of victory than not. Throwing caution to the wind and letting probability dictate the victor isn't playing towards your win condition. You're not attempting to create a situation that is advantageous to you winning.

In your case, your actions actually created a situation where winning would be far more difficult if not impossible. Even if the cop hadn't checked you or your partner by some miracle, the additional information would still have cast suspicion on you. Leaving things to "probability" can be considered gamethrowing when the probability of you winning with that strategy is less than 50% or in your case, significantly less than that.

if you don't want to rewrite code that's already been written you can ask solace for the source to an EM game viewer

Lmfao dude you nk'd on the last day which resulted in autoloss. Not to mention you cc'd your teammate's pr claim, which put him in a worse situation.

In most situations you need to aim for the cop, unless there's a role that can protect them (doc, bs, ...). Of course, there are exceptions to this rule aswell, but those are too rare.

This convo is over :)

There isn't your point of view. There is how the role "cop" works. Learn that, then complain when something like that happens ever again.

And how is that even on-purpose? From your point of view it looks on purpose, but me not knowing all those things it's different from my perspective, I am still playing to win.


Do you even read what is going on in the game or you just random vote and do not even try to win?

Because this is what you are saying and proving.

If you want to learn the game maybe you should start paying attention to it and who can do what?


Get a mentor and learn how cop works maybe.

How exactly can you win when there is no way of winning ;)

You played to lose. That is all that matters. No be good and lock/delete this topic.

You did something wrong and on purpose.

There was no one else to check except you and the other guy.

Your explanation, to why you did it , is stupid.

Tell me , If you were a cop, who would you check?

1: One of the players that claim pr.
2: The third person who didn't claim pr and is obvious town.
3: You would check no one.

If you are already pushed into a corner, you try your best to win anyway. Killing the cop give you a chance to win, even if a small one.

Leting it live was a 100% loss.

You didn't kill cop even if letting it live would make you confirmed mafia.

So basically a gamethrow.
