A Suggestion

deletedover 9 years

Since I've returned I'm seeing a lot of suspicious things. There were always people playing with friends and that's okay, who doesn't want to play with people they like?

Although, it becomes ridiculous when its 60%+ of the games. Having someone with you constantly who wants you to win and will either try less hard or TR you whenever should be suspended, the runner should be too.

If its an 8 player game and you have 5 friends with you and it's day 8 of the round, you aren't fooling anybody. Just b/c you lost a few games doesn't mean you don't have people trying to make you win. Turning away from it and pretending that it's not happening isn't gonna prevent you from being called a meta abuser.

We have to figure these ppl are AWARE they have biased friends winning them games. It's a step down from cheating. I think trying to make your friend win more than yourself across enough games to win you a trophy should end in a suspension on both sides. People who play legit might end up losing if not.

I have no issue with meta as long as it doesnt make the game 100% impossible for mafia.

Nobody actually ran for a trophy back in the day, you just played with people who were fair and made the games fun and you either won or you didn't. Now people try so hard and inspire their friends to lose for them.

If you spec the last 5 games of my trophy runs, you'd see that I'm a radical cutthroat kind of dude who doesn't take any prisoners but deep down I have a heart of gold and a winning spirit

While there is some truth in what you say, I think the only people who get "suspicious" at this sort of stuff are the sort of people who just suck at winning.


Quite not.

despite the fact that i was serious about trophy running, i was never one to cram games with friends. i just wanted to play mafia with diverse groups of people. at the end of the day it's a more rewarding philosophy both in the sense you're more playing to have fun without the politics of finding the ideal tables to play at and that it makes you feel like you earned your trophy more.

Unless you force comp games to be anon (including anon pre games, the anon we have now is basically pointless) or restrict the amount of games someone can play with another person, both of which are never going to happen, nothing that hasn't already been done can be really done about it

You'd also notice some TV tropes present in my characterization but that's none of my business...

It's not like they did before, it's that people just started realizing it

You can tell alot about the integrity of a player by spectating their final 5 games at the end of a trophy run.

It's hard for your e-friends to throw for you when they don't know who you are and you're just that arsehole who tried to scrounge a refund

for the most part, an excessive amount of bias over a trophy run is considered a lower form of cheating
