Epicmafia

Simple Measure to Combat Cheating

over 6 years

If a user enters two (or more) accounts into the tournament, when it's time to tally points, make the user's score the lower of the two.

This discourages players to "run" multiple accounts at the same time -- an unfair tactic used by some of the inner EpicMafia cabal. Some of these "multi accounters" will even play multiple games at the same time. How can an honest player who makes (5 goldhearts/day x 7days/week x 1 account) = 35 weekly attempts at winning ever compete with players making (5 gold hearts/day x 7days/week x 8 accounts) = 280 weekly attempts, across 8 accounts?

Simple math promises that the player using multiple accounts will always fare better in a tournament regardless of actual skill. This is due because EpicMafia is a game that depends, on part, on a random number generator to assign roles etc

@ the OP, yes let's just completely choke competitive mode out. As it's in decline, it loses all its EU users in one stroke, then we incentivize the last remaining main lobby hardcores to stick to 5 games a day.

But they're offering a compromise. Play multiple accounts, get the results of the lowest score. They're not advocating for a straight up ban or disqualification.

this is obviously against the rules and has nothing to do with what ur complaining about lol

I don't think it is-at least, I don't see it during a brief glance at the rules page. Maybe it's there, though.

I did it pretty frequently, and honestly I don't see why not as long as you're not ISPing.

Site deadness is not an excuse to make comp unfair by endless cheating. I'm sorry.

This is coming from a person who doesn't play comp at all btw, so take my opinion with a grain of dirt.

then why don't the staff just increase the daily number of hearts that each person can spend in the tournament?

If it's so easy to win a trophy running with 8 accounts every round, why don't you prove it?

Shouldn't be too difficult, especially with this grade of opposition, right?

there would be literally next to no comp games if everyone could only play on 1 account

mafia addicts that play on multiple accounts r keeping this site alive singlehandedly

Your last argument sucks, the game is decided by more than just the roles in the table. Most games can be solved using the n1 kill alone because of meta.

Good idea dude

Let's discourage players from playing more games every round in an already-dying userbase
