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:

luke, a player known for cheating, happened to not cheat right as he got banned for something irrelevant to cheating, which he did NOT do. :)

well it's possible... and they did an investigation after all

Everyone remember when luke got suspended in this round? It's because Luke deleted the games he cheated in, and he was playing a setup that K altered the point payout of by spamming it in one of his private lobbies.

Clearly you're not reading as to why he was banned. He wasn't banned for cheating we looked into who was farming in those lobbies and who was benefiting in the past. This hasn't happened recently.

Luke was dq'ed in the past because we found out someone had been deleting games in main lobby and it looked like Luke was the only one to benefit from it.

this seems like a lot of effort for a survivor lobby trophy of all things

This also confirms that he was the one purposefully deleting games to give himself the advantage before in round 594.

Luke was not banned because he cheated. He was banned because he had some old mod powers (we suspect given by lailai) that he used to delete games in K's lobby, as well as vivor. He assisted in K stealing that vivor trophy.

He was also the one responsible for deleting games in the Main round a few months ago (the one when K spammed a certain setup in his lobbies to change its point payout dramatically).

You know what the funniest part is, he probably did cheat last round and I nearly obliterated him on a secret alt cleanly

The thing about K/camcam doesn't mean anything. If you check his individual games during the round and see that they are legit and they add up to the right number of points, it shouldn't matter what he did outside of main lobby.
