Round pause scenario

over 7 years

If the round is paused for investigation, and someone has reached 2k points.

1- People can still play their hearts ( ideally the round should be paused and people should not be allowed to play, but since it does not make a difference, and it is fun to play, we allow players to play). Moreover it is not the fault of the players so they should be allowed to play.

2- Once the day is over, the positions will be frozen. So if after the round is paused and no one is suspended then the winners can't change. This is a rule because otherwise it defeats the whole point of hearts not stacking past 10.

3- If one of the top 3 is suspended after the pause and at least one of the top 3 is still above 2k points then the 4th place person can win 3rd place.

4- If 2 players are suspended and one person is still above 2k, then 4th and 5th will win silver and bronze respectively. The positions 4th and 5th are determined based on their position before the day ended. If they play their hearts after the day has ended and their position changes, then the positing before the day end is considered.

5- If someone is suspended from top 3 and there is no one above 2k then another day of round will be played. In this case the positions can change.

The above rules have been enforced every time and users have been denied trophy due to the above rules.

I myself have never been in such a situation but I have witnessed many cases.

I argued that people should be allowed to play their hearts and change positions if someone is suspended, but the admin and mods argued that it defeats the whole purpose behind the heart reset and heart stacking purpose.

I argued that people were not aware that they could win so they didn't try.

They said that people are expected to try their best and play all their hearts within the time limit so that it is fair for everyone.

Today we face a situation where for the first time a mod is involved and can get into top 3 by playing the hearts after the reset.

Now should we do?

Should we or should we not change the rule?

i hope gerry is trolling to make pranay mad because changing the rule makes no sense

It was not changed. If it was then where is the announcement thread for it.

If the rule was changed then I disagree with it.

You shouldn't have more time to trophy when the deadline has passed, unless your games are refunded because you unknowingly played with someone throwing for you.

This is the fair rule that I thought was in place.

Extra time should only be permitted with special circumstances such as a refund

They claim to have changed the rule without announcing to anyone.

Moreover now gerry will cry that since charley and private were allowed to trophy despite not being eligible and rule being changed on the fly to allow them to trophy, he should be allowed too. Then charley and private will either vouch for gerry or have no face to show.

This is what happens when the mods break the rules. They have to keep breaking it and ultimately they become completely corrupt. The team will have no values at all.

Watch kerry get demodded when she fights against gerry here.

Someone throwing for someone isn't always evident until there are a few games, evidence wise.

Enamored says

Well we have a case rn of someone throwing _for_ someone

this should not matter again. This is what you guys have as the rules on refunds: https://epicmafia.com/topic/61726

There is nothing on this about people throwing for people. If a gt satisfies this requirement when the mod processes it, the mod should go ahead and refund it then

If it might be something more like people throwing for people, make a paste bin and consider this later like you already do. If someone gets eliminate for cheating, its not like you guys refund all games they played

Games typically aren't refunded unless someone asks for a refund. So, at a later date when we discover someone is playing in someone else's favour, we refund those games when evidence has piled up to prove it.

I have never seen games get refunded because someone was throwing against them like you suggest. They are usually single games where something was pretty bad and obvious. It still always takes like 5 days to get the refund and you always do this after like midnight the day the round ends central europe time
