Account ID: 1-S2-1-3072954

Crimes Committed: Griefing (he attempted to throw the game in the second replay, but actually failed and ended up winning because no one believed him)

In-Game Name: Nino in game 1, Nappa in game 2

Summary:
Game 1: Played as jailor, claimed before game started that if he wasn't given host he'd troll the entire game. proceeded to jail execute anyone he KNEW was town, starting with the revealed mayor.

CYGX1.SC2Replay is game 1

Second game attempted to throw the game for mafia by revealing who they all were (kept screaming ME BLACK AND GRAY AREN'T MAFIA!) but failed. There was another game before these I joined where he demanded host or he would troll, upon receiving host he activated donor(to prevent repick) and proceeded to fill role list with jesters (not a crime I think, but still)causing most of the players (including me) to instantly quit, which is why I yelled at everyone to repick him when he was starting host for the second game.

CYGX2.SC2Replay is game 2

You aren't trolling, you're griefing. There's a difference. If you were just trolling I wouldn't report you (which is why I didn't report anything until the third game when you tried throwing it) that and trolling doesn't have a penalty.

I actually didn't throw it, it was a double bluff. It was my intention for people to think that hey maybe we're actually NOT the mafia or maybe he's just trolling to get us to think that he's lying about them being mafia.

There are multiple ways to see it, which is why to get down to t he truth you have to look at face value.

I said we were NOT mafia, not we WERE. therefore, I wasn't technically griefing.

plus, the very fact that I won acts as testament to my plan being used TO WIN.

I was laughing the whole time watching you win, since I died night 1. Besides what I reported you for wasn't gamethrowing, it was for the other griefing you had done.

Then Dark.Revenant, i request a change to the lettering of the watchlist ingame, as it says 'So and so is a KNOWN cheater' when in your exact words, they can only be suspected of cheating, Maybe change it to 'So and so is a suspected cheater' Just my two cents

Also, i played 1 game with cygx last night, he spammed the lobby chat, and trolled a little in the role making etc. but after that...he actually did play fairly so /shrug

ROFL, and here I was thinking I was unanimously hated.

I love how I have a defense set up for me without me even trying. much appreciated my d00ds, but being on the watch list doesn't really bother me.

I will say one thing though. Whatever it is people see me doing, I will not stop unless forced. I play to entertain myself and if others are entertained, that's awesome. If they're buttmad, that's their problem. This watch list is a troll medal. No one trolls mafia as good as I do. No one ever will. :D

Oh, and when I play right, I'm the best....which is more often than when I troll, but reputation of being awesome doesnt spread as far or fast as one instance of trolling. or god forbid, more than one.

Ahhh....Cygx...Sometimes I think he's awesome and sometimes i think he's an asshole. When i want to play seriously i usually think the latter opinion. Though SOMETIMES he will play the way Mafia is meant to be played. Sometimes though I get a little bored and Cygx comes in and we all have a(if everyone doesn't rage-quit at the start) jolly good time with his....unique....setups.

Crimes Committed: Cheating

In-Game Name: Este D'Aquino

Summary:
He lagged the game many times on purpose so that another dead person could tell the living who the disguiser was. It didn't actually work, but it was extremely annoying and this guy is really becoming a pain in the ass pretty much every game... Please ban him.

Tasogare_Akira
December 9th, 2011, 01:46 PM
While I can't account for lag chat because it can't be seen, I can say that Patooty, 1-S2-1-2285782, was seen right before red was lynched, saying that "Red is 100% mafia" as disguiser. Unsure if he was supporting lag chat, or if this was him trying to gamethrow/troll. I do know that the disguiser was trying to give the GF away.

On the case of Cygx, at 19:50, Este D'Aquino (Cygx) is seen in death chat saying, "teal im gonna open up a lag box, tell them teal is disguised". Continuing on, you can see that cygx is guilty as poo, rallying the dead to tell everyone in his place that Ballsack, cygx's former persona, is the disguiser. Possible grudge against killing him nearly immediately as doctor? I dunno. But it only happened after the rest of the mafia were killed, so he was trying to force a town win. I confirm cheating. Repeat offender, I believe. I'll let you guys handle this.

Crimes Committed:CHEATING

In-Game Name:(blank) (optional)
Summary:This guy was a jailer and he jailed me and others and asked us to read role cards. He showed no remorse when I pointed out that this is foul play. I made an account here for the sole purpose of reporting this guy.

January 6th, 2012, 04:38 PM
Approved, cygx asks 3 people to read role cards when it blatantly says do not do that on the load screen. All 3 of the victims tell him that is cheating.

Recommend Watch List.

cygx
January 6th, 2012, 07:39 PM
I'd just like to know where it says that's cheating in the table of crimes and punishments. The message in the start screen is an implication that the move is in bad taste, perhaps VERY bad taste, but it's still not technically cheating.

Admiral
January 6th, 2012, 07:41 PM
^ Technically that IS true.

cygx
January 6th, 2012, 07:48 PM
and thus am I appealing this. I've broken no rules. I play mafia to win in every way possible within bounds of the rules. No matter how cheap, if it's not ILLEGAL, I'll do it. In this case it didn't even get very far because of everyone's refusal to conform to my standards. Whatever, get mad, no biggy. Accuse me of doing something against the rules because of the majority's interpretation of a comment on the startup screen is that it's illegal even when it technically still is not? That's an appealin'.

Again, no rules were broken.

Powers
January 6th, 2012, 08:13 PM
Cygx you have been a member of SC2Mafia since September, want to be a Moderator, and yet, you don't know that what you do is against the Mafia rules? Don't believe that for a second. You knew it. I watched the replay and you should get punished for it.

Powers
January 6th, 2012, 08:25 PM
3:03 in the game, on the first night Cygx asks Precious, the person he jailed, to read the first line of his card.

Precious: I'm going to report you
Jailor: It's not illegal
Preciious: role card reading is scummy
Jailor: it's looked down upon
Precious: Says so
Jailor: not against the rules"

Forgive me, but arn't mod of Mafia suppose to upkeep the rules and enforce fair gameplay, due to the fact that they represent the game itself. Now Gygx is apping to be a Mod... a symbol of the game... and he's doing something that he says "is looked down upon."

If anything, I think Cygx should never again be even considered for a Mod position as he is harming the game. Plus, "i have a donor save" what is a donor save? Oh ya, its nothing, but a donor who has a saved game but is trying to use the fact that he is a "donor" to up his in game status and seem higher then he is. Fail. We donate to support the game, to help it, not to seem better then the other players.

Crime: Cheating
Cheating is using methods unintended by the game (such as abusing Skype) to gain an unfair advantage over other players.

Having a player read a role card is gaining using a method to gain an unfair advantage. It could easily have a newb mafia player fail just because he is trying to look up a lie. This is not how the game is meant to be played. This is against the rules and if a MOD was in that game, you would have been booted. It's happened before. Enjoy your watch list, this isn't going to be overturned.

January 6th, 2012, 08:51 PM
yeah, of course I'm bound to get haters. whatever, fuck em. From my perspective I'm using whatever means I may that are not CLEAR CUT IN STONE ILLEGAL. Ice you bring up a good point but it's still open to interpretation. One can see from my point of view that I'm a jailor and I'm jailing someone, now I have an opportunity to see if they are clean or not. Their options are clearly not to give me their card or they are evil. As seen in the replay, the good guys revolted, thus proving that this "cheating" as you call it isn't that at all as it doesn't provide a 100% means to find role. There are always revolters, and then there are people like me who memorize cards for these certain situations.

The noobs? Well this is how noobs learn what to do. Not that hard. There are ways around this method that are very simple, just like any other method to find roles. The noobs not knowing the method and it thus being unfair is not a valid argument because you could say that for any tactic a noob might not know.

GG.

Oh and powers, you're talking as if I'm supposed to set an example if i want to be a mod. I hate to break this to you, but mafia isn't a cushy cushy game. It's cutthroat and you are sometimes encouraged, oftentimes required to take the "i don't care how much people hate me, i'm in this for myself and my team and i'll do whatever it takes to win it" approach. For me that's what makes Mafia fun.

It's all part of the game. On that end I think I'm setting a pretty good example. :)

Powers, that's the second time you've dismissed me with a small statement. I even gave you the respect of a multiple line paragraph.

Funny how you accused me of being full of myself. That's hilarious. I'm a speck of dirt. I am nothing. Despite this I can come up with more intelligible responses than you.

Go ahead, say I'm not worth it. You know how that'll look on you.

Dare I post the log of the chat.

Edit: think i will (truncated to pertinent context of course)

Kevinpowers: Cygx I only know you from you being reported and watching your roleplay. Its funny how much you love yourself. Good job screwing over any future Moderator position thou. That was well done.
You: powers, it seems you just arrived, and your only purpose is to convict
you haven't even given the game breathing room for yourself yet
Kevinpowers: i just arrive to the forums, not to the game of mafia. But nice try thinking you know me.
You: ysosrs?
no, really
You: i've been wondering that since you popped out of nowhere
captain snitcheroo and i'm gonna backup the snitcherooskies
You: here you are someone i've never heard of trash talking me
Kevinpowers: and cygx is now added to my ignore list. To see how much of a douche this loser kid is, go to SC2mafia.com forums and take a look under report. Watch the replay of the guy who reported him and choose to watch Cygx. You'll laugh at how pathetic this guy is
You: wanna know the funny thing guys?
You: you go to that very threadk, you will see him making a comment of me being full of myself
now THAT is amusing
Kevinpowers: needs to get a life, is not misunderstood
You: powers won't last very long here lol
look how quickly he gave up on trashing my defense

Hey! Look what I can do!

cygx: I like touching myself and thinking about young boys. Oh how I love young boys. Hubba hubba hubba.

Because I pasted it like this, it just HAS to be true..... or not.

Cygx, next time you want to troll someone, might i suggest taking a screen shot? He said, she said is no proof unless you have evidence. Like the replay that was posted against you. This may be a difficult concept for you to handle Cygx, but if you scroll up and actually READ the posts I made talking about you, you will see exactly why I think you are a pathetic no life cyber bully. Try reading before assuming I give you a small dismissive response. =) Owned. The only true part of that script you said I typed is that you are indeed blocked.

Like people actually would like looking around 6 screenshots of everyone else talking just to see something that frankly I thought was mundane. Speaking of which, it was certainly nothing worth you making a coverup of me fabricating? Really?

Just for what it's worth, Necroplant, Archangel, FYRE and a few others (this new GummyBear guy) were all there when you said everything up there. Again, none of it is all too incriminating so I don't see why you'd go about trying to deny it. All it does is demonstrate your use of doubletalk. Speaking of which...

Now you're throwing "cyber bully" at me. You'd be the first one to call me anything of the sort around here...but that's beside the point. Have you even considered the context of your comments compared to mine before you even said that?

This is the second time your doubletalk fails, but thanks for showing everyone by demonstrating it firsthand. Now my previous post is no longer necessary.

Edit: Congrats on derailing the topic.

Anyway, as stated by Rev in this very thread, the precedent has JUST been set, thus confirming that it was NOT set before, thus making my actions not cheating. If I were to from this point on, then yes it is cheating. Considering this, I don't see why I should still be on the watch list, regardless what anyone thinks. It's now clear that no rules were technically broken at that time.

January 7th, 2012, 07:47 AM
This isn't the judicial system - I think if this guy wants to deliberately stretch the rules to the max and not play the game as it's designed he shouldn't be playing, because he clearly isn't playing the mafia we all are.

cygx
January 7th, 2012, 11:36 AM
Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't Mafia designed at its very core so that players feel compelled to get a step up over their opponents in any way they can? At its very essence it is a game of lies vs proof. Can't find proof? Make a lie and make it believable. Not good at that? Get better. If that means memorizing a particular role card and afterwards acting that part out, do it. It's not hard. That's just part of the game.

It's actually the very challenge of being able to one-up your opponent in this regard using ANY MEANS WITHIN BOUNDS OF THE RULES that gives the game its replay value, and in my opinion, it's those who are able to push the rules to the limit without breaking them who provide the best challenge. That's the mafia I play. It seems the mafia you perceive lacks this challenge.

This is something I actually agree with. Back when people were less uptight about everything, I've seen some people just yell out a town role card and get away with it. I thought it was pretty amazing given the fact that it was almost word for word.

On a side note considering that Dark wants the player base to be nice an courteous to each other (within terms of mafia of course) it becomes rather apparent that people who intentionally preform action that are looked down upon deserve to be punished in some way, for example in League of Legends being generally mean and doing actions that were looked down upon got the player a ban. If you looked more towards the future, LOL has the tribunal which sets the standards for accepted game play and hands out bans that the players votes on for people who are generally unfair to other players

and more misdirection from Powers, this time with an "attention whore" comment. You really have this doublethink thing down to an art, don't you? Alright, you win dear. I feel kinda bad for you.

alright, now what about that thing that's looked down upon called advertising other games? shouldn't that be punishable too? :P

actually i quit LOL because I hate almost all aspects of the game, not advertising just making a comparison. Instead of trying to defend your actions which the mods and admins have already said are bad, just admit that you did something wrong instead of whining on the forums

Please read my quote, i dont want to hear your bs excuses

What's the point...
If you're jailor and you're making them read role card and let's say the person does not read and jailor lets them go anyways, it shouldn't be against rules unless you actually execute.

Right then, I still did it before you made that clear. :) I believe this was my point. Now that it's clear, I won't do it anymore.

Wouldn't hurt to put it in the table.

Now that it's straightened out, why am I still on the watch list? I'm many things, but a deliberate cheater? No. I preferred the griefer title.
There was an entire thread where the mods fairly plainly stated they considered it cheating. This is not anything new.

whoa whoa, no reason to get pissed off. i was poking fun at you. anyway, i read your quote and all i can tell is that it applies to my perspective more than that of the nay sayers.

As it is: It's against the rules
As it should be: not against the rules, for reasons I explained.

Now before you go any farther I know I'm outvoted in this regard, there's no need for you to remind me. I know it's not gonna happen, there's no need for you to remind me of that either.

The whole point of not asking players to read their role card is that it creates a bad atmosphere for new players who would be at an unnecessary disadvantage by basically being required to memorize every role card in order to function effectively.

It's just a stupid ass metagame to try and instill on the public, and we decided a long time ago that we didn't want it to ever take hold. Because, I for one, do not want to spend the time memorizing them myself.

So yeah, I usually inform the player that reading role cards is not an acceptable style of play. Jailors that don't accept my warning are kicked when they die, normal lynch stuff is usually balanced out by the player base on it's own.

Your arguments are irrelevant, the mods consider it bad therefore it is. It should also be fairly obvious they don't like it. /end troll feeding
If you really do want to be a mod disagreeing with them about this topic is probably not the best idea, considering some of them seem to feel fairly strong about it.

I'm getting the feeling that the point has not quite been made here.

I have been playing Mafia games on-line since '07 and I've played hundreds of games in a number of different locations, but there has been one characteristic common to all games I've played in: Quoting role emails/messages is always prohibited. In fact some hosts have worded the roles completely differently for each player so that if the players tried to quote it, it will not be recognized by the other players.

Quoted from mafiascum (the largest website dedicated to mafia):

Do not quote communications with the moderator (in particular, your role PM). Paraphrasing is usually ok.

This offence goes beyond "being cheap" or "stretching the rules to the limit" in my opinion. I would rate this as being pretty much equivalent to game throwing. It should definitely be against the rules. You would think that the statement above the loading bar would be enough, but it seems that there are players still doing it nonetheless.

The current system seems fine for the time being, but if it becomes a bigger problem, or if the makers wish to improve their map, I have included possible solutions.

What the players can do: Do not ask others to read role cards. Refuse to read your role card no-matter the cost.
What the makers can do: I have a number of ideas.
1.State that it is against the rules in the loading screen.
2.Randomize the words used in role card - I know this would be extremely difficult to do, as I have designed scenarios in other games before.
3.Punish offenders more sternly

It really is a shame that some players cannot simply enjoy a fair and challenging game.
I would also like to thank all of those involved in the design of the map and upkeep of these forums. I have seen people try to create a successful mafia system and fail. But this version has exceeded my expectations.

Dark rev has said in a post that it is now against the rules a lesser offence than skype cheating, here is a adapted quote from an officer chat "--------------: According to Rev / the rules sticky, it is a light form of cheating"

I guess I'll have to read the rules page again. Must tread carefully when kevinpowers is online. He's the omega of all snitches. He'll snitch on you even if you haven't done anything wrong.

Merged guilty reports.

Also, the reports forum is for Reports and Appeals. Cut out the crap or I will remove it.
