Re: Gafgarion/MLP cheating

First to respond to the pastebin against me:
http://pastebin.com/EeMLquqH

First of all, this:
"Gaf and MLP have had suspicious training games before that we don't have on record since the server move."
My Response: I can't really comment on this since nothing is posted. I typically play Training when I have no interest in comp. I do recall playing some games with MLPApplications but I don't remember much about them and I didn't really think much of MLP at the time.

Pastebin: "It was autowin anyway, but note that MLP OT'd to the last mafia (off of Gaf) quite confidently."
My Response: I remember this game a bit. As the pastebin points out, this was an autowin anyway. My guess is MLP overturned to get the Govenator achievement. Either way, pretty weak 'evidence'.

Pastebin: "Gaf, the tracker, is n1'd. MLP vegs by the end of the day. Odd."
My Response: Also pretty weak. I don't really know how to defend it since I died n1. Looks like a legitimate veg to me though, MLP didn't talk at all at the end of the day. Probably lost connection.

Pastebin: "Vegged, but Gaf investigates MLP, the scout, N1."
My Response: Complete BS. I pretty much always randomly investigate when I'm PR, this was no exception. Completely irrelevant since the game veg'd n1 anyway. I don't even know why this was included in the original pastebin at all, except to add another game to their "evidence".

Pastebin: "D1 Gaf (town) does little to nothing useful, D2 pushes on MLP (mafia) confidently, who barely fights back."
My Response: First of all, I contributed D1 pretty much the whole day. I wasn't a PR so I wasn't heavily talking but I was there. I started to suspect MLP at the end of D1, unlike what it says on the Pastebin summary. I mainly wanted to lynch him because he was so null and it was a ML. Either way, it was cry and spy so I expected theh crier to eventually cry a lynch anyway. D2 I continued to advocate lynching MLP but it was the Crier, who was DERFEL, who decieded to lynch him, not me. Also MLP clearly tries to protest the lynch so I don't know what the pastebin was talking about saying he "barely fought it". I had very little influence on this game, once again, weak 'evidence'.

Pastebin: "Gaf and MLP are town, MLP dies N1. Mafia is successfully lynched D1 Gaf is ml'd D2 after pushing on lllario after a sudden change in FoS (a more or less confident FoS) [Note: In game 1529106 I thought Gaf investigating MLP could just be since they were friends, MLP doesn't investigate Gaf n1 here]"
My Response: First of all, me and MLP aren't 'friends'. I've played a few games with him but never really thought  much about him at all, mostly just some lurker. I can't really say why MLP investigates why he did, but I suspect it was more or less random or maybe he thought pranay was the best player. This is one of the games I let pranay lead d1. He does some deal in which he can lead d1 and if he's wrong we can lynch him d2. I've done this a few times this round with him. I had no real fos D1. D2 I fos'd Illario mainly because he was pranay's other scumread from D1 since I townread him after lynching correctly d1. Later in the day he said it was sure it was a ML (when shig could've been miller) which was a slip, causing me to hard FOS him. I eventually got lynched by gov that day. It wasn't the only time this run my read was correct, I only have had 2 losses. This is the first game I guess could be considered suspicious, I guess. But that's all I can say about it.

Pastebin: "MLP/Rocky mafia. MLP guises out. Gaf investigates Rocky as cop and pushes until he's lynched. When MLP is lynched the next day, he barely fights it (guised as mandevian)"
My Response: First of all, I hate this setup and I believe its the only time I played it this round. I random investigated n1. Got lucky by investigating Rocky. I then died as confirmed cop. MLP, guised as madevian, was lynched the next day as confirmed scum. He was confirmed due to the masons mismasoning on him. He did try to push a lynch on someone else saying that I "guised out", though. Either way he was more or less confirmed scum, and I had nothing to do with that.

Pastebin: "Miller lynched because of cop guilty D1. Gaf already foses 1 mafia (McGrath, MLP is the other mafia). Gaf hardpushes McGrath the next day for bad reasons and then hammers MLP fairly confidently at 3 way."
My Response: On D1, I soft-fos'd McGrath. It wasn't a strong FOS, and I only mentioned it because Dragonlord mentioned it first. Mcgrath was being VERY scummy that day, saying absolutely nothing but filler. He also asked for doc to out. He does the same thing D2, and doesn't try very hard. I think anyone reading this game can agree he was pretty obviously scum. I'm not the only one who thought so, either. Everyone on D2 wanted to lynch McGrath. On D3 I'm eventually given hammer by kellcur & MLP (due to leading on McGrath). I was actually leaning on kellcur until MLP kicked forcing me into a quick decision. I hammered on MLP due to this kick. Also MLP had been trying to buddy me (then kellcur) the entirety of D3. It was a tough hammer because because both kellcur and MLP were scummy that game.

Pastebin: "Gafgarion, the nilla, picks the kill instantly. MLP is a sleepwalker. MLP FoSes Gaf very softly [You know the feeling when the mafia FoSes their partner to force interaction?] MLP supports the lynching of a towny and is easily lynched by Gafgarion the next day,
while barely fighting the lynch. Doesn't even unvote"
My Response: I chose to kill Obsmagon because I didn't know him & suspected he might be a GTer. Since I am running, I decided to just kill him off since I had a pretty good meta on the other players. After a lot of town wants to lynch MLP, MLP fos's two players, myself and saumon. The pastebin said MLP "supports" lynching a towny. In reality, he just bandwagoned the uncced tracker, Hohohoo. I wouldn't call that supporting a lynch at all, since HoHoHoo decided it. On day 2, iamnotanalt advocates a Saumon lynch, since Hohohoo fos'd Saumon. Saumon ends up being gov though and hammers on MLP, who strongly objects. This is a game that is really questionable as to why its included as evidence at all. Town lost due to a bad tracker (Hohohoo) and a bad gov (Saumon).

Pastebin: "MLP/Gaf lynch mafia D1 and D2 rather quickly. Gaf is clear and doesn't even stop to consider MLP."
My Response: I remember this game fairly well. Quest was cop and cleared me d1, as I was a sleepwalker. Alex claimed blue d1 which led MLP to start a BW on her. Quest agreed Alex was a good lynch and she ended up flipping spy. I townread MLP day 2 because of two reasons. 1) being super active doesn't fit into MLP's usual scum meta and 2) I doubt MLP would lead on his partner d1, MLP was the first to vote Alex and advocated his lynch the whole day. Most should agree it was a fairly easy townread. Being the clear I eventually decided to lynch Quest's d1 FOS, Spectre, who ended up being the second scum. Once again, MLP had very little impact on the game and I thought my fos's and reads were pretty clear to those who reread the game.

------

I have played a total of 7 games with MLP this round. I've won each of them. But I'm also 6/8 without MLP this round. I've played all of my games in the morning, when I wake up. I'm more alert then. Because I play at the same time each day, I play a lot of my games with the same players. MLP is one of them but I've also had 7 games with quest, 5 games with Rocky and newlo, and 4 games with skullz, ediz, jamiison, and 3 games with countless others (I quickly went through each of my games and made a count). Since I'm 13/15 my record looks very impressive with each of those players.

I hope this pastebin shows how circumstancal this bullshit "evidence" is and I hope this is read by the mod(s) that will ultimately make this decision. I'm not a cheater. And I love EpicMafia. I was excited to be doing so well at the start of a Round, the first I've ran in awhile. The fact someone actually thinks I cheated hurts.
