trolling is inherently a weird violation because everyone has a different level of tolerance for it, and depending on the table makeup, what would get trolling in one game would be glazed over in another.


i think removing a player from the game entirely should be considered more than "trolling". i dont think the issue of getting hipfired should come down to whether your trolling tolerance was high enough to laugh it off or not.


that was lucid's idea to change hipfire from GT to trolling.


which is quite possibly the strongest argument in favor of it being wrong

the prs claiming d1 strategy is bad because scum should shoot sheriff and hook a PR every single game. either bs gets hooked and sheriff dies, or cop gets hooked, sheriff takes a hit, and town has no new intel from day 1. nilla should always claim pr.

this is like league of legends, where you can be reported and banned for doing anything that isn't the established meta

imagine someone reporting a scum player for ccing cop as hooker, because that's effectively what you're punishing him for


that's a lot different, because it can't really be as easily perceived as playing not to win.

also, because it's topical: https://epicmafia.com/game/3863345/review


if a blue fakeclaims cop and the real cop roleswaps with him, and then the blue dies n3, it's seen as great play

if a blue fakeclaims cop and gets immediately shot he's a gamethrower and will get a violation

that's the way town creativity is "rewarded" on this site and kayla isn't trolling for trying to facilitate a new strategy in a setup that, frankly, needs one


Yeah of course. I mean, this is one of the flaws of gun setups since people can fake claim cop and get shot immediately before getting a chance to retract or anything. You have to read more heavily for intent. It's why roleswapping in gun setups is generally a bad idea, because people are trigger happy and will shoot you and think you threw.

It'd be nice if there was a change like this, but it's the kind of thing you need to look at more case-by-case. When you see an account like kaylag behave this way, it's easy to assume it's someone trolling.




except that he has demonstratable precedent of pushing this strategy as optimal across multiple accounts, so if you're viewing it on a case by case basis that argument doesnt hold up

Just because you cannot get reads from Veejay's lines doesn't mean Eritas can't.

the trolling violation

Wow, just wow

PR's claimed D1 and the sheriff got all whiny baby and said he wasn't going to shoot no matter what, so that "maybe next time we'll learn to not claim D1"

This was almost as bad as the Pyre game yesterday

Slepz is now one of the most unpleasant players, congrats

Apostasy says

Pretty sure the French revolutionists didn't get a read before they cut King Louis' *ing head off, and that worked out okay for them.


let's stop posting.


That would be against the Epicmafia spirit
