Should hip-firing be GT?

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?

"intend to shoot mafia" and "intend to roll a dice" can't be the same thing

since GT is defined as playing against your win con, hipfiring may not be placed into that category even if it is shooting without having reads since your intention behind the shot is to shoot the mafia it can't be considered GT without more context indicating that it is.


Shooting/lynching randomly is playing against your win condition. If you shoot with no reads it can't be anything other than shooting randomly.

helsinki's idea is good.

i like hipfire as its own vio too. It takes intent out of the question and makes it about the action (like copied mechs)


Here you are coming in with the really good ideas 9 pages too late.


god bless bronto for coming up with that idea all on his own. what a swell guy.


who said I was taking credit? It's a good idea. Didn't we talk about this a few months ago already though? I remember it not gaining a lot of traction then.

Thankfully, user GrudgeVote has brought this to our attention.

Hibiki says

are people turned off by the dice term? should i be rephrasing it in order to seem less wrong or hung up?


no i used that exact wording earlier when this was being discussed. it makes sense.
