why i could never cheat

over 9 years

playing on this site. here are the normal reasons that i think ppl cheat:

  • its fun
  • its for attention seeking
  • its a vendetta against mods who run the site in a way that allows a core member of the community to be removed for months after using a slur that most normal societies dont think twice about and frankly we shouldn't either bc the site owner, who never bothers to reply to emails, hasnt logged in all year and is literally the only person who has a stake or an ongoing concern with the site, which btw, you'd think if adsense was so delicate, lucid would monitor uses of "tard" more often than half a year

  • to impress a guy or girl crush like d3xtr0 did with zwink

  • to reach turbo nerd status (i.e. hall of fame)

  • to get ppl to listen to you ingame by showing players how many trophies u have

  • to fk with pranay

i could never cheat because i realized im so used to competitive games like cs and league and cheating in them requires some degree of sophisticated software w/ a .exe that will usually get u banned within a month through automatic detection

on epicmafia, you can literally cheat just by opening 2 tabs. and it requires a team of above avg intelligence ppl to catch it. which means a 12 year old like rorasa could figure it out and get away with it. what im trying to say is, to cheat at epicmafia is the same as stealing candy from a baby, and sorry, but after my time spent as a pretend girl, im trying to save whatever dignity ive got left

Perhaps cheating is merely a higher stakes version of mafia.

Perhaps, but your first post insinuated that it was completely unrelated.

You're right though I didn't consider the investigative component of the game, though an environment in which there is cheating naturally brings about cheating investigations, so maybe it's not too far off the mark after all.

I did say it was a part of it.. not the whole lot of it..

The game is founded on deception.

You dont lie when you cheat.
And lying is not the purpose of this game, its just a part of it.

Ah, but does it? The point of the game is to lie, after all.

because it defeats the purpose of this game to begin with and ruins the entire concept

Why do people "investigate" cheaters?

To preserve the integrity of internet mafia?
