Game Search

deletedalmost 8 years

Good evening,

We are releasing a beta version of our game search engine and database for public use.

The web address is www.emcache.net

To make an account, send Yvette a pm in the following format:

/register pass=desired_password_here

The slash ( / ) at the beginning is required. Omitting the 'pass=' field will result in a random password.

Please send the message in the message body and NOT the subject line.

You can view games with IDs greater than 5215667 by pasting the Game URL into the search bar. You can also find games containing a certain set of players by entering their usernames.

This tool is maintained by the mod team and not by a third party.

Helpful Docs:

PS: If you're interested in an epicmafia beta tester badge, please send Solace a pm and we'll send one your way.

Have a nice weekend!

Boo, epicmafia dev team

im only concerned that he will sue and shut this site down. its a valuable resource


I assumed losses would be so small, there would be no incentive to sue. I was wrong. Here are my findings:

Lucid could lose at the very most $3 - $5 a year (in token revenue), which is a lot of money if he finds a pro bono lawyer who works for free. Mods would be held personally liable for that amount. I suggest talking to Lucid before pursuing.

oh, so you're saying lucid will sue the op?


my buddy who owns this account was almost sued for defamation because of a report to paypal about not receiving tokens within 2 weeks of paying for them... so yes


Did your buddy contact lucid before reporting to paypal? I had a glitch myself a while back and didn't receive tokens. I emailed lucid and he replied within 30 minutes and added the tokens to my account.

For the sake of storage space, we have decided to only store ranked games in Main lobby.

And no problem!


so what you're trying to say is that this feature is useless since everyone who plays ranked is a tightwad piece of ?

why would you want to save a game of some idiot screaming at some other idiot for 18 minutes straight only to mishammer some other idiot after 33 more minutes.

was this cleared by lucid? it completely undermines his money grubbing technique of expiring games unless you pay to save them. and nobody saves games unless they have a suspicion of cheating that they cant prove yet and need context.


what is ur concern with lucids token income bro, he should have games save forever in the first place

Don't worry! We deliberately minimized the amount of artwork that goes into displaying games to avoid taking away incentive for players to save their games with tokens.


This makes more sense now. Oh well.

It's primarily used by mods for cheating investigations, but we figured there was no harm in releasing it.

The problem is lot of cheaters cheat in unranked games first (Especially locked games) And then they cheat in ranked games.

noticing a bug

where a query worded: User1&Winner!=User1 is returning ALL GAMES in the DB they didn't win, regardless of whether or not they participated in that game.

and

A query worded: User1 Winnner!=User1 is returning the output expected from the previous query, which is all games that User1 Participated in and did not win.


Hi,

No that's just the design. Usernames were not designed to be chained to search filters with the &'s.

Usernames always need to be separate.

For example,

User1&Round=XXX&Setup_id=XXXXXX is not okay

The correct format is:

User1 Round=XXX&Setup_id=XXXXXX

Only filters should be chained together if their conditions should stack. Different filters without &'s will cause the program to return multiple sets of data back, matching each filter specified.

Thanks for the observation though!
