Investigation for Round 310

almost 10 years

Togepi and myself collaborated on a pastebin to investigate Zwink, CocaCola, and RadioFire90 in Round 310. Understand that the pastebin itself isn't the cleanest; rather our two bins were just put into one big bin because Togepi and myself are exhausted (I myself apologize for the poor formatting in my half, it's pretty bad) Nevertheless, the evidence is there. Other evidence was submitted by another user as well which helped us reach our verdict. Three moderators (Togepi, Sims, and myself) were involved in agreeing to the following verdict:

We have not concluded that cheating occurred between Zwink, CocaCola, and/or RadioFire90. We did however, have reason to believe that meta abuse occurred in Round 310 within this group.

The Verdict: Cocacola is going to be banned from winning trophies for 3 months due to meta abuse in the form of playing in favour of another user (Zwink) over the course of a Round. RadioFire90 is innocent. Zwink will be allowed to trophy this Round.

Cocacola will still be allowed to play gold heart games during this trophy ban. We (Togepi, Sims & myself) believe that Zwink's run in Round 310 was not tainted enough by CocaCola's meta abuse and interference to justify stripping Zwink of any possible trophy that she might win this round.

For those questioning the length of ban: Meta Abuse varies from situation to situation. The three moderators involved in this did not think that applying a Cheating violation to CocaCola would be appropriate in this particular instance, so we felt that the most fitting consequence would be to apply a ban on winning trophies for 3 months--half of what a normal cheating violation calls for. CocaCola and all of their alts will also be monitored whenever they are playing games with Zwink from now on in Competitive Rounds.

Here is the pastebin created by Togepi and myself: http://pastebin.com/rwJkeA5d

How did I play in favor? I competed with her. I scored only 200-300 points less than her. This ban doesn't make sense, and I know it seems like im getting off easy, but i really am not.

The term "meta abuse" is kind of a weird thing to apply to this anyway since you got this punishment for "playing in favour of another user (Zwink) over the course of a Round" which sounds more like, you know, playing to someone else's wincon AKA throwing.


i doubt it's gt if they are both town though


I fail to see a difference. That's like saying "it's not hipfiring if they hit mafia."

i want to appeal this ban, and have two other mods/ the admin look at this


i've already looked at your games and i was the one that decided the penalty. i think it's more than fair considering we're allowing you to play competitive games, just not win.

unless you meant lucid, which then i doubt he cares

Three moderators already looked into this, and since it was going through mod chat others probably weighed in. You're still free to try though.


tbh it's better than just being lobby banned
