Cheating Investigation Unit

over 10 years

We are looking for a group of community members to be a part of a full-time Cheating Investigation Unit (CIU). We feel that this will streamline cheating investigations, make less work for mods and community members who dedicate their time to it, as well as get more people involved in the community. Our hope is to catch more cheaters and deter people from cheating, as we will be able to use this team as a more vigilant watch.

This will be a team supervised by the mod team. You will be invited to a skype chat where round investigations will be discussed. This will be overseen by myself as well as any mods interested in assisting in handling cheating. We will be your go to people for any information or guidance you may need during the investigative process.

This would largely mean looking through games played and reading games of players near the top of the scoreboard, checking for any instances of rolesharing, meta abuse, multi-accounting or any form of cheating / sketchy play. This would also include making piratepads/pastebins or any sort of documents summarizing the games in question and what the alleged cheater is being accused of. With a sizable team of cheating investigators split between the two lobbies, we can effectively quash cheating more efficiently and prevent things from slipping through the cracks, as well as preventing the round from being paused needlessly.

This position would commit you to various levels of work, depending on demand and whether or not there is cheating present. We are looking for people with a strong interest in catching cheaters, experience in creating pastebins, and an in-depth knowledge of past cheaters and their tells.

If you are interested in being a part of the Cheating Investigation Unit, please copy the following application, fill it out with your info and PM it to me. I'll be accepting applications on a rolling basis and adding people to the team on an as needed basis.

Here is the application questionnaire: PMs not in this format will be ignored.

  4. Have you done any sort of investigative work before? If so, could you provide some examples of your work?

With the legitimacy that I bring, I'd like to apply to be apart of this crusading squad. The many trophies that I've acquired throughout my career at Epicmafia strongly suits my skill at finding these criminals.

#2 - Meta. Except the kind that's become abusive. It's those small hints or "random" comments that I've become keen to finding. (Trust me)

3. I said I was legitimate.

4. Yes, I have. Ask Germatron, I used to help him during his crusading career back in '10.

5.I started EM when I was 13 and now I'm 18. I've dealt with tehh no avi's invasion when they came through, the wu tang clan, even the reign of togepi & co.

I've already begun looking into a cheater this round.


is this a joke post

i think to test the new ciu, someone should be appointed to cheat on alts next round and see if they can be caught.

Riot didn't do it to spite the team. He did it because he was running and, though he pointed it out to mods, they couldn't/didn't do anything. =P

When Riot published the bin on rednose/shamzy/devante, I think the general consensus was "Where were the mods on this?"


What's more pathetic, the way he wrote it to spite the team at the time, or the way you took it to heart? This is Riot you're talking about.


Riot had alerted a mod 4 days beforehand rofl

I think the deal here is just for people to look at games of say the top 10 (or whatever) and see if they think any questionable games. There are people that do this ANYWAY. If there are people that WANT to do this, great. This isn't a horrible idea. They'd just be alerting us to possible problem.

Honestly .. this whole CIU thing is ***. It's just another way for Mods to do nothing other than ban and falsely handle reports. Currently two people cheating in this competition already yet nobody seems to give a damn. This whole community has died. This game has become a joke and so have those in charge. My advice, take down this site and all move to town of salem.

whats the incentive


Why did I agree to become an admin?

Sometimes it's about doing good rather than getting something out of it.


if there's nothing to gain (power counts as something to gain) no one is going to want to do it thats just how it is, unfortunately.

I pointed out two cheaters quite a while ago, and no one listened... until they were caught cheating again. So why bother?
