Should hip-firing be GT?

over 9 years

This is not a complaint thread.

No mods have been injured in the making of this thread.

Parental discretion advised: contains gun violence.

I originally filed an appeal against Mist, mistakenly believing that hip-firing being GT was the precedent ruling. I had this mistaken assumption because the last time I was active on this site, that was the case.

It is now clear that my actual appeal is against the current precedent. Mist was merely basing the verdict on current precedent, and has made no mistake in handling the original report

To me this seems like a very black/white scenario. Shooting a gun for the sake of shooting a gun is a clear indication that you do not care about the outcome of the game. If you cared about the outcome of the game, you would try to shoot in such a way that benefits town.

The current precedent treats hip-firing as trolling. Is there any merit in this? Is someone who randomly fires a gun trying to antagonize anyone, or is it that they do not care about winning?

Helsinki has taken the bold stand against the current precedent, and I imagine that moderators are discussing this among themselves before the next vote is cast.

Lets help them make the right decision. >>>>>>>>>

Should hip-firing (shooting with no reads) be considered Game-throwing?

you can't think someone is mafia 10 seconds into a day, before anyone has spoken ect... because you're basing it off of nothing - you didn't scum hunt.

no. if i'm town and decide to shoot someone i think is maf, i'm not trying to throw, i'm trying to shoot maf. if i hit a PR, i've made a mistake that may or may not have cost the game. it should actually be no vio from that reasoning; but then EVERYONE would hipfire. Games would suck balls. that's why it's a trolling vio


that's pretty wrong btw

imo don't play gun setups if you're that serious about wanting to enforce a punishment that doesn't fit the mistake

I would rather have a note and a warning for something I did do than a violation for something I didn't do, but maybe newbs are different.
