Reason for Luke's ban

deletedalmost 7 years

Gold trophy winner of round 675, Luke, was just banned and out of the interest of transparency I'm writing this thread to show you why.

He was deleting games using mod powers that we think were given to him by lailai. Before this, the user K/Cam managed to use an exploit to steal a Survivor lobby trophy that he did not earn:

He was also previously disqualified from round 594 when it was found that his points didn't add up correctly with the games that he had played and that games were also disappearing in his favor:

https://epicmafia.com/round/594

First it was found that Luke had been kudos farming in a lobby he owned called Oblivion, but after further review a few things stuck out.

Notice that the game list isn’t multiple pages and consists of only two player games including both Cam and K. This means that if this list were accurate then they would be the only players with games in this lobby. Yet upon viewing the Top Scorers list there is an alt of his named coffeeandtealover. This means that he had deleted the games so that they wouldn't show in his lobby and had also deleted all other accounts that were on the top scorer’s leaderboard, thus making his K an Cam accounts not show despite having points. For reference, this is the top scorer list for Survivor lobby:

He had to have deleted at LEAST that many accounts to have K and Cam show.

The more heinous part, also relating to how he managed to steal a trophy from Survivor lobby, is that he was able to delete games. No one other than site moderators can delete games. This means he has exploited the site in some way to gain access to site moderator tools.

Moving on from there, I checked the lobbies that were owned and used by his alt coffeeandtealover

Those are all lobbies owned by him and filled with accounts linked to him. If you want to view more of his lobbies, he owns the rounds 573 through 584 (just that we know of) and you can verify this by clicking below and changing the round number link to anything between those two.

Now look at the lobbies that Luke and his alts play in.

Shortly after he was caught he also tried to delete all the evidence as well. This picture was taken shortly after the investigation was started:

I WAS IN A GAME WITH S, HE SAID HE WAS DELETING HIS ACCOUNT IN A FEW HOURS AND ASKED IF ANYONE WANTED THE ACCOUNT. FOR THE LOLZ I SAID OK I'LL TAKE IT, THEN HE SAID HE'D ONLY DO IT IF HE GET SMTH IN RETURN, AND HE SENT ME THIS PM.

THE TOPIC IS THE GLITCH IN BUG REPORTS ABOUT THE ACCOUNT THATPLAYED COMP WITHOUT POINTS. SO HE'S INTERESTED IN THAT

After searching for other possible lobbies with negative games as a litmus test only one came up

This is what's to be found within these games

I checked just one of the accounts and this is what I found

S, the person giving out single character account names was actually Luke too.

Notice not only the lobbies he was in, but the fact that his own lobby had -3 games in it

Here's just a screenshot of how deleting games edits the game count display for lobbies lol

deletedalmost 7 years

oh whoops i made mistake! i kept thinking that Luke cheated with his K alt but K was permabanned from main a long time ago!

I'm blind

[EDIT]

Just to make it clear K was already banned from Main before cheating in Survivor?

K was never unbanned, nobody knew that K was Luke until recently

they didn't know they were the same person.. The K and Cam accounts were permabanned but it only just came to light that K was Luke's alt. I'm guessing if they knew they would've banned him sooner

You don't know what you're talking about Dari

K was perm banned for exploit abuse before, we didn't know that Luke was K until we began investigating

well it's not really a perma ban if he got unbanned! i mean who thought it was a good idea to unban an exploit abuser?

i mean what stopped you from investigating K

Why dont the survivor mods just make 2 throw aways and get UltraAug his trophy and delete the 2 throw aways?

"extra" trophies that happen in cases where someone doesn't want their trophy, deletes, etc. usually go to the EMBB or EMVivor accounts

UltraAug my brother, pack your stuff because we're going on a quest. Destiny has put us together, let's go my friend.

We must seek revenge and find the one who stole our deserved trophies. Our journey starts as we look for Luke, the big fat nerd. We shall not show mercy and we will exterminate his existance and therefore do a favor to this world.

Our next adventure is a quest to find lucid, aka the c0ckgoblin that created this website. We will torture and blackmail that nerd until he changes the options of how this site works so we can get the prize we legitimately worked for.

Justice shall prevail !
