The Mods Are At It Again

about 6 years

Corrupt moderator blacksnakemoan has sent me and shounen a private message telling us not to play games with each other anymore, signing it with “your friendly mod team x”.

Besides the obvious passive aggressiveness dripping from that signature, the sanctions laid upon me and shounen are unjust and peak definition of this place being a toxic environment. It shows that even something like playing a round together with a specific person can result in suspension. It’s discriminatory and hurtful. Yes, we’ve played every round this comp together. No, we did NOT cheat. You can play a game with the same people and not cheat, you know. It’s called having friends. Not to forget, we were on opposite teams a lot of the time, and I’m not even in the top 28 anymore. Why are we being accused of something like this? We did nothing wrong.

Now's your chance to voice your opinion in the form of a poll. Is mod blacksnakemoan corrupt?

Also Kerry’s/Dave’s games were individually looked at by Nathan who came to the conclusion that no meta abuse/cheating was taking place

may be connor has more integrity, but how do we decide that unless we know shounen like we know connor? and if they are banned in their early days of epicmafia we will never know.

I'm gonna bin them just for the sake of anyone else looking like an idiot trying to take an objective standpoint


if you bin them and the bin is good enough and without any preconceived bias then I will stand by you and will be the leader of "ban shounen" brigade. but we are not allowed to ask them to stop or ban them without any evidence.

Yeah, I think it's safe to say Kerry and Connor have more integrity than players who say they aren't running for a trophy (whilst leading the round). They already anticipate their investigation/suspension just by saying that. It's someone banned from trophying e.g. Blister

but eyeballs shouldn't be enough to suspend, make a rule to get them to stop playing from here on out (which supposedly already exists, but as for how many games it is, i am still not aware) and potentially get evidence and suspend them if you think it's likely they're breaking rules through meta abuse/cheating

THERE IS NO FUKING WAY YOU FUKING KNOBHEAD MODS ARE ALLOWED TO SUSPEND ANY PLAYER JUST FOR PLAYING TOO MANY GAMES TOGETHER UNLESS YOU HAVE PROPER EVIDENCE OF CHEATING OR META ABUSE, BECAUSE YOU FUKING LET FLYGON, DAVE AND KERRY PLAY MORE THAN 50 GAMES IN A ROUND, THEY WERE ALSO WARNED VIA PMS TO STOP PLAYING TOGETHER BUT THEY DIDNT STOP AND STILL THEY WERE ALLOWED TO TROPHY.


Shut your dumbass up dude you're incredibly wrong


yeah like i was wrong about you and krystalk cheating because krystalk was blowing you while you threw games for her. You are just like lazyyami, just that your girl didn't feel guilty after showing you her nude body for gt in return

if you were to independently investigate both dave/slow/kerry case and this case then i bet dave/slow/kerry would be innocent and this case would be guilty of at least meta abuse. but until someone does.

i mean these guys' winrates are much better. dave/slow/kerry is being brought up because they too were asked to stop playing together at the risk of a dq, did not obey, and still were allowed to trophy. these guys might not be allowed to trophy if they do the same. there was no full investigation on them, and there is also no full investigation (yet) on this situation (if there is somewhere down along the line, then it's a different story). that's why i'm comparing them anyway

Hey no offense but I think that trio of Slowbro/Connor/Kerry have more integrity than these two random sandboxers


and who made you king of integrity? you get to decide who has more integrity? you get to decide that a group of players deserve different treatment because you think they don't have integrity? If you don't let the new players have a stronghold on epicmafia and ban them before they become friends with others like dave/kerry did, then no one will know them and they will always be treated like outsiders no one will ever vouch for them.

They're not suspended man


round dqd/suspended/whatever you want to call it

not yet but they will be if they play more games


None of those apply either. They're not allowed to play with each other. It's really crucial you make that distinction lol. One suggests they have cheated and should not be allowed to play out the round at all, and the other is a team of mods taking a preventative approach to stop a full blown cheating case. It's proactive. And honestly these players are lucky they don't have a case that removes them all together.

We aren't even halfway through the round and they already have better stats

You can play with a friend in red hearts where you won’t be effecting the competitiveness for other players. Some people want to trophy and try hard for it and you coming and playing all your games with one friend and having a 84% win rate isn’t really fair for others.


if flygon was allowed to trophy then why are these people subjected to a different rule?


You clearly didn’t read my first post on this thread

Not sure why we're comparing these two situations. The winrates are also already better than what Slowbro had
