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:

For added supplement, here are two pastebins that were used during the investigation:

I think we need to instead of hating on the mods for not catching him before the round give them a break because they have been working hard to try to find the evidence so they can ban him I know Charley spent a while today trying to figure this out I’m sure the other mods did to so st least we have some people to dedicate time to do this

jm lost another bronze lol johnreid would love to see this

do you do anything but b/itch about getting 4th place?

He 100% cheated last round in not only his own games, but also by throwing against other runners on his alts.

I didn't even read too deeply into his games, I only picked the games out where I recognized his alt names from just banning them. He may very well have more.

Thank you guys for the time spent to heavily investigative these illegitimate games regardless of the recent outcomes!

After reading even more into his accounts he's confirmed to have thrown against other runners, here's just a few examples of this:

Lucid is singlehandedly responsible for every trophy held by a cheater, because he refuses to take a couple of seconds to change trophy allocation after the fact.

The only good thing he's done is refused to sell the site to lailai when lailai offered him 70k for it

except that time there was two silver and no bronze lol

Why is lucid the real culprit in all of this?

1. He refuses to do anything to improve the site
2. He made lailai admin after knowing him for less than a month

We suspect that not only was lailai the one who gave mod powers to Luke and didn't log him out after demodding him, but we also suspect that lailai has been the one providing the tokens for all of these lobbies that K has been making.

Lailai was also probably the one purchasing the tokens that S used to give out 1-letter usernames to the mods, which he probably did in an attempt to gain access to their accounts.

lucid has always loved anyone with an account less than 1000
