- [4/9/2016 6:59:11 PM] *** Fail-Whale would like to add you on Skype
- Hi Solace, I'd like to add you as a contact. ***
- [4/9/2016 6:59:40 PM] *** Solace has shared contact details with Fail-Whale. ***
- [4/9/2016 7:00:14 PM] Solace: hey!
- [4/9/2016 7:00:20 PM] Fail-Whale: Hi
- [4/9/2016 7:01:00 PM] Fail-Whale: So are you the leader of the people making the decision?
- [4/9/2016 7:01:13 PM] Solace: no lol
- [4/9/2016 7:01:32 PM] Solace: I was wondering if we could chat about your pastebin?
- [4/9/2016 7:01:40 PM] Fail-Whale: sure thing.
- [4/9/2016 7:01:59 PM] Solace: do you have outside contact with minecrafting ?
- [4/9/2016 7:02:59 PM] Solace: you might be innocent and lie about it because you're afraid of it looking suspicious
- [4/9/2016 7:03:12 PM] Solace: but if we find a lie, we usually just treat the case as auto-guilty
- [4/9/2016 7:03:23 PM] Solace: because an honest player wouldn't feel compelled to lie
- [4/9/2016 7:03:27 PM] Solace: so please be honest
- [4/9/2016 7:05:03 PM] Fail-Whale: Sorry i got a phone calle
- [4/9/2016 7:05:22 PM] Fail-Whale: No i do not have any contact with Minecraft outside of epicmafia, and i have never communicated with them in any way asking for them to cheat for me.
- [4/9/2016 7:08:35 PM] Solace: alright
- [4/9/2016 7:09:14 PM | Edited 4/10/2016 7:03:36 PM] Fail-Whale: But according to this message we were lucky
- so i was talking to pingu because hes my mentor and also a mod and argued for us so we are not baned below is the skype convo sorry if i got you in any trouble
- Hi minecraft Sent on: 4:40 pm From: pingu You’re about to get a cheating vio From: pingu But no ban From: pingu it’s the best I could do From: pingu i’ve got the job of explaining what you did wrong so when you’re on just lmk and i’ll talk to you :) hii Sent on: 4:44 pm
- From: pingu Hiya, basically we think that Shrub won his games unfairly Sent on: 6:14 pm From: pingu To an extent From: pingu We’re not saying you cheated intentionally soo whats going to happen? Sent on: 6:17 pm
- From: pingu We’ll suspend him from the round. But you won’t get banned like Blister/sinead Sent on: 6:17 pm From: pingu Why is because I’m pretty sure you didn’t cheat on purpose. From: pingu Which I argued (: Give me a sec and I’ll tell you what you did wrong though ok Sent on: 6:18 pm
- From: pingu Basically here’s the rundown of it:
- We get you and Shrub are friends and naturally you’d want him to do well. But you have to try and not let that get in the way of games, especially in comp ones which are more serious. We think to an extent, with that intention, you played towards his win condition (if you don’t know what that means, ask me) rather than you’re alignments (i.e. town or mafia). This still to an extent counts as cheating. So we decided to give you a cheating vio just so you know for next time, without giving you the associated ban (: Sent on: 6:21 pm From: pingu Does that make sense? yes Sent on: 6:21 pm that makes sence
- From: pingu Awesome! :) I just wanted to let you know what was happening and clarify what you did wrong as both a mentor and a mod Sent on: 6:22 pm thank you for helping me (heart)
- [4/9/2016 7:09:40 PM] Fail-Whale: I'm not being punished for cheating I'm being punished because the moderating team dont think i deserved to place in the round
- [4/9/2016 7:10:15 PM] Solace: I don't think the majority of the mod team thinks you guys role shared
- [4/9/2016 7:10:24 PM] Fail-Whale: Probably because we didnt.
- [4/9/2016 7:10:30 PM] Solace: I think the general consensus is that there was a slight case of meta-abuse
- [4/9/2016 7:10:47 PM] Solace: combined with minecraft playing towards your win condition in place of their own.
- [4/9/2016 7:10:56 PM] Fail-Whale: What is your definition of meta-abuse and why is it not listen anywhere in the rules section?
- [4/9/2016 7:11:45 PM] Fail-Whale: and i dont think minecraft ever actually succesfully gamethrew against her win condition in any of the games linked in the pastebin. She was going to until Awnyy stopped her, but almsot gamethrowing is not punishable imo
- [4/9/2016 7:12:53 PM] Solace: meta-abuse is within the Cheating violation
- [4/9/2016 7:13:06 PM] Solace: could you walk me through your thoughts this game?
- [4/9/2016 7:13:07 PM] Solace: https://epicmafia.com/game/4997345/review
- [4/9/2016 7:13:22 PM] Fail-Whale: Using outside methods to communicate with another player in the same game, using multiple accounts in the same game, taking screenshots of your game and showing them to other players to prove your alignment, or repeatedly playing with the intent for another person to win regardless of your own win condition.
- [4/9/2016 7:13:29 PM] Fail-Whale: This is all about rolesharing and gamethrowing
- [4/9/2016 7:13:33 PM] Fail-Whale: says nothing about meta here
- [4/9/2016 7:13:42 PM | Edited 4/10/2016 7:07:48 PM] Solace: in your appeal, you mentioned that you were able to get a few townreads because of meta
- [4/9/2016 7:13:46 PM] Fail-Whale: sure thing ill walk you through my thoughts in that game
- [4/9/2016 7:13:50 PM] Solace: on minecraft and megami
- [4/9/2016 7:13:58 PM] Solace: I want you to focus on your thoughts about them
- [4/9/2016 7:14:15 PM] Solace: what led you to townread them and anything else that's relevant
- [4/9/2016 7:14:39 PM] Solace: also what kind of meta did you have
- [4/9/2016 7:14:52 PM] Fail-Whale: it wasnt like profile meta or anything
- [4/9/2016 7:15:00 PM] Fail-Whale: it was just from having played with them for a few games
- [4/9/2016 7:15:07 PM] Fail-Whale: e.g. minecraft flipped blue a lot and complained about it
- [4/9/2016 7:15:21 PM] Fail-Whale: Megami essentially isp'd when they were town and tryharded when they were mafia
- [4/9/2016 7:15:53 PM] Fail-Whale: I'm not sure how far through my hearts this was, so what i say might be inaccurate
- [4/9/2016 7:16:02 PM] Fail-Whale: in terms of the meta i had
- [4/9/2016 7:16:04 PM] Fail-Whale: in this game
- [4/9/2016 7:16:20 PM] Solace: so in this game, minecraft started with
- [4/9/2016 7:16:30 PM] Solace: "uhhhhh why am I always boring old blue"
- [4/9/2016 7:16:32 PM] Solace: "so stupid"
- [4/9/2016 7:16:40 PM] Fail-Whale: I think this might have been the first game she said this though
- [4/9/2016 7:16:41 PM] Solace: which is the kind of behavior you described
- [4/9/2016 7:16:51 PM] Fail-Whale: thats why im not sure if it was a meta read this game
- [4/9/2016 7:16:58 PM] Solace: oh is that why you scumread them on day 1?
- [4/9/2016 7:17:13 PM] Fail-Whale: i mean claiming boring old blue is a blatant scumtell
- [4/9/2016 7:17:13 PM] Fail-Whale: to me
- [4/9/2016 7:17:36 PM] Solace: minecraft flipped blue a lot and complained about it
- [4/9/2016 7:17:42 PM] Fail-Whale: Yea this is definately the first game megami flipped mafia
- [4/9/2016 7:17:51 PM] Fail-Whale: so i didnt meta read megami in this game
- [4/9/2016 7:18:01 PM] Fail-Whale: aside from the fact that they were playing different from when they were town probably
- [4/9/2016 7:18:02 PM] Solace: you said you townread minecraft for claiming blue
- [4/9/2016 7:18:17 PM] Fail-Whale: this was the first game she had done this
- [4/9/2016 7:18:25 PM] Fail-Whale: thats why meta reading people is risky
- [4/9/2016 7:18:34 PM] Fail-Whale: she could have easily fooled me by doing the exact same thing as mafia
- [4/9/2016 7:19:08 PM] Solace: alright
- [4/9/2016 7:19:16 PM] Solace: on day 3, you changed that scumread to a townread
- [4/9/2016 7:19:18 PM] Solace: you said
- [4/9/2016 7:19:24 PM] Solace: "my money is on minecraft being town"
- [4/9/2016 7:19:26 PM] Fail-Whale: so at timestamp 4:59 i out my meta read on megami that she is playing different to last game
- [4/9/2016 7:19:28 PM] Solace: what led to this change?
- [4/9/2016 7:19:35 PM] Fail-Whale: I can't remember honestly
- [4/9/2016 7:19:36 PM] Fail-Whale: I
- [4/9/2016 7:19:41 PM] Fail-Whale: ll reread the game
- [4/9/2016 7:19:48 PM] Solace: yes please
- [4/9/2016 7:20:10 PM] Fail-Whale: oh thats right
- [4/9/2016 7:20:16 PM] Fail-Whale: it was because she was asking qeSuited to orc her
- [4/9/2016 7:20:20 PM] Fail-Whale: seemed real
- [4/9/2016 7:20:21 PM] Fail-Whale: to me
- [4/9/2016 7:20:29 PM] Fail-Whale: like she was actually frustrated to be sr
- [4/9/2016 7:21:04 PM] Fail-Whale: d2 and start of d3 btw
- [4/9/2016 7:21:40 PM] Solace: okay
- [4/9/2016 7:21:47 PM] Solace: lets move on to this game https://epicmafia.com/game/4997370/review
- [4/9/2016 7:22:00 PM] Fail-Whale: oh god
- [4/9/2016 7:22:06 PM] Fail-Whale: i remember this game
- [4/9/2016 7:22:08 PM] Fail-Whale: i got so lucky
- [4/9/2016 7:22:56 PM] Solace: on day 1 you said
- [4/9/2016 7:23:02 PM] Solace: "don't hammer minecraft though"
- [4/9/2016 7:23:11 PM] Solace: why did you think minecraft was town this game?
- [4/9/2016 7:23:20 PM] Fail-Whale: similarly her complaining was legitimant and seemed real
- [4/9/2016 7:23:35 PM] Fail-Whale: added to the fact that she did similar last game
- [4/9/2016 7:23:45 PM] Fail-Whale: i was reasonably confident that she was town
- [4/9/2016 7:23:57 PM] Fail-Whale: however i still had the chance to hammer her later if i changed my mind
- [4/9/2016 7:24:04 PM] Fail-Whale: so i thought it was a good idea to keep her alive
- [4/9/2016 7:24:30 PM] Fail-Whale: My hammer on onion was like a last second decision though
- [4/9/2016 7:24:44 PM] Fail-Whale: 60% luck to be honest
- [4/9/2016 7:25:00 PM] Solace: but to confirm that minecraft only did something as town (complaining about their blue role)
- [4/9/2016 7:25:11 PM] Solace: you would've needed to have seen them flip mafia
- [4/9/2016 7:25:13 PM] Solace: and not do it
- [4/9/2016 7:25:19 PM] Solace: to know that they only do it as town
- [4/9/2016 7:25:23 PM] Fail-Whale: which is why you cant really punish someone for meta reading
- [4/9/2016 7:25:27 PM] Fail-Whale: as there is a massive risk involved
- [4/9/2016 7:25:30 PM] Fail-Whale: she could have easily been mafia
- [4/9/2016 7:25:33 PM] Fail-Whale: i could have been wrong
- [4/9/2016 7:25:53 PM] Fail-Whale: do we have the same definition of meta?
- [4/9/2016 7:26:17 PM] Fail-Whale: I think meta is using how people have played in other games to get a read on them, is that fair?
- [4/9/2016 7:27:55 PM] Solace: yes I think that's how most people define meta
- [4/9/2016 7:28:16 PM] Fail-Whale: So meta abusing is like
- [4/9/2016 7:28:27 PM] Fail-Whale: only using meta or something?
- [4/9/2016 7:29:49 PM] Fail-Whale: The thing that i really dont understand is how me taking a risk and townreading minecraft based a bit on how they behaved in last games means that i cheated
- [4/9/2016 7:30:05 PM] Solace: meta abusing is like, unfairly communicating alignments with other players through meta
- [4/9/2016 7:30:18 PM] Fail-Whale: what do you mean by unfairly
- [4/9/2016 7:30:21 PM] Fail-Whale: like saying
- [4/9/2016 7:30:26 PM] Solace: as in with 100% accuracy
- [4/9/2016 7:30:27 PM] Fail-Whale: I NEVER CC COP AS MAFIA
- [4/9/2016 7:30:35 PM] Solace: yes that would be meta abuse
- [4/9/2016 7:30:43 PM] Fail-Whale: and yet i see people say that all the time..
- [4/9/2016 7:31:42 PM] Solace: its subjective
- [4/9/2016 7:31:48 PM] Fail-Whale: Why is this exact statement not in the rules then
- [4/9/2016 7:31:52 PM] Fail-Whale: unfairly communicating alignments with other players through meta
- [4/9/2016 7:32:03 PM] Fail-Whale: do people actually get punished for this?
- [4/9/2016 7:32:44 PM] Fail-Whale: Megami
- tbh hydra tunnels everyone
- [4/9/2016 7:32:48 PM] Fail-Whale: meta
- [4/9/2016 7:33:00 PM] Fail-Whale: Megami
- dude last time you tunneled me you were maf SIT DOWN
- [4/9/2016 7:33:02 PM] Fail-Whale: meta
- [4/9/2016 7:33:18 PM] Fail-Whale: Megami
- im a tryhard when maf
- [4/9/2016 7:33:19 PM] Fail-Whale: meta
- [4/9/2016 7:33:42 PM] Fail-Whale: Shrub
- I scum hunt before I hammer
- [4/9/2016 7:33:44 PM] Fail-Whale: meta
- [4/9/2016 7:34:02 PM] Fail-Whale: Hydra
- should i believe minecraftgirl this time?
- [4/9/2016 7:34:03 PM] Fail-Whale: meta
- [4/9/2016 7:34:24 PM] Fail-Whale: This is just from most of day 1 in that game you linked
- [4/9/2016 7:34:38 PM] Fail-Whale: You could take most games and find a similar amount
- [4/9/2016 7:34:46 PM] Fail-Whale: at least games where the people have played with each other before
- [4/9/2016 7:35:09 PM] Fail-Whale: Can you fairly expect players to completely ignore all past games and play blindfolded? Especially when they want to trophy.
- [4/9/2016 7:35:42 PM] Fail-Whale: Even if they arent neccesarily saying it, i can gaurantee you that every single player who has ever placed in a comp round has used meta in at least 25% of there games
- [4/9/2016 7:36:05 PM] Solace: meta is not against the rules
- [4/9/2016 7:36:21 PM] Fail-Whale: so how do you distinguish between meta and meta abuse
- [4/9/2016 7:36:48 PM] Fail-Whale: And how is it cheating for me to use meta on minecraft in about 2 of the games in the pastebin
- [4/9/2016 7:36:57 PM] Fail-Whale: mabye only 1
- [4/9/2016 7:37:06 PM] Fail-Whale: I'd have to go through them all to work that out
- [4/9/2016 7:39:15 PM] Solace: would you be willing to allow me to examine your pc?
- [4/9/2016 7:39:26 PM] Fail-Whale: um
- [4/9/2016 7:39:36 PM] Fail-Whale: how would you do that
- [4/9/2016 7:39:39 PM] Solace: completely optional
- [4/9/2016 7:39:55 PM] Solace: if you refuse, we're not going to think that's suspicious or anything like that
- [4/9/2016 7:40:02 PM] Fail-Whale: how would you do that?
- [4/9/2016 7:40:04 PM] Solace: http://www.teamviewer.com/en/
- [4/9/2016 7:40:12 PM] Solace: you would install this
- [4/9/2016 7:40:24 PM] Fail-Whale: what does it do
- [4/9/2016 7:40:39 PM] Solace: it allows one pc to connect to another
- [4/9/2016 7:40:52 PM] Fail-Whale: I'm not sure im comfortable with that
- [4/9/2016 7:40:53 PM] Fail-Whale: sorry
- [4/9/2016 7:41:01 PM] Solace: that's alright!
- [4/9/2016 7:41:22 PM] Fail-Whale: i dont get how that would help anyway
- [4/9/2016 7:44:09 PM] Solace: would you be willing to allow other moderators to see this conversation?
- [4/9/2016 7:44:14 PM] Fail-Whale: of course
- [4/9/2016 7:44:28 PM] Solace: ok!
- [4/9/2016 7:44:35 PM] Fail-Whale: Can you answer this?
- [4/9/2016 7:44:39 PM] Solace: thank you very much. we'll get back to you if we have any more questions!
- [4/9/2016 7:44:40 PM] Solace: yes
- [4/9/2016 7:44:46 PM] Fail-Whale: so how do you distinguish between meta and meta abuse
- [4/9/2016 7:45:45 PM] Solace: meta abuse typically is communication of alignment without fail
- [4/9/2016 7:46:17 PM] Fail-Whale: so if someone metareads someone correctly twice in a row they are meta abusing?
- [4/9/2016 7:46:42 PM] Fail-Whale: or is it something liek Liberonsciens thing how he never lies ingame
- [4/9/2016 7:47:25 PM] Fail-Whale: the thing is, to me that means you are meta abusing if you set up a meta that allowed other player to townread you when you are town without fail
- [4/9/2016 7:49:40 PM] Solace: your definition is correct
- [4/9/2016 7:50:00 PM] Fail-Whale: so if someone metareads someone correctly twice in a row they are meta abusing?
- [4/9/2016 7:50:01 PM] Fail-Whale: this one
- [4/9/2016 7:50:03 PM] Fail-Whale: or this one
- [4/9/2016 7:50:07 PM] Fail-Whale: the thing is, to me that means you are meta abusing if you set up a meta that allowed other player to townread you when you are town without fail
- [4/9/2016 7:51:39 PM] Solace: I'm not allowed to say whats discussed in mod chat
- [4/9/2016 7:51:47 PM] Solace: but I think your case of meta abuse is flimsy
- This is the entire conversation except for when the decision had already been made and when my alternate accounts are revealed.
