Then they lynch the Arsonist. They throw a couple mislynch’s in there until they get to Jarma, who posts the link to the screen grab, and claims vet. Jarma is then hung.
Attachment 20547
Conclusion: Cut and dry case of Cheating/Additional Information. No OOGC (content in this case not communication) shall be used to “confirm” or mislead the town as to who you are!
Recommended Action
1. Watch-List x3
Additional Notes
Thanks for the report! It’s annoying to see players doing this. Regardless, of the outcome, I punish on intent. In this case, it was clear, his intent was to use this image to get him a inno vote, it didn’t work, but it got him on our radar!

Hi, I was in a game with Jarma earlier and he didn't appear to be Watchlisted (no notification during setup phase).

Is posting a fake screenshot link to convince people i must be innocent actually altering the game, or is it an ingenius way of making it appear that I'm actually what i claim.

@Jarma , given your Watch List punishment for this incident was issued in May 2016 and lapsed in June 2016, we're not considering this message to be an appeal request, but rather a request for a clarification on the Cheating / Additional Information rule as it relates to external links like screenshots and streams.
You are not allowed to post screenshots, steaming links, or any other means of confirming yourself or sharing information outside of the game -- this is textbook Cheating / Additional Information. You're correct that Mafia is a game of deception, but the idea is deception within the game itself as opposed to players needing to consider the authenticity of out-of-game evidence. Doing so is absolutely altering the game because players are now deciding whether you're innocent or not based on external evidence you have provided as opposed to how persuasive you are in the game itself. The point of Mafia is to decide innocence or guilt based on what's happening in the game, not based on how well you think people can doctor screenshots or streams.
Also, it just gets way too messy re: people actually cheating that way, especially as external links can be changed later -- for example, you post an actual screenshot and then you change the picture or delete it after the game so it looks like you're not cheating, and then no one can prove it either way. It's just a can of worms that neither staff nor the community in general want to open. That's why there's a very clear rule against posting links with any information about the game you're in.
Re: Jarma: 1-S2-1-6443139
TLDR: No screenshots / streams to prove your innocence or role, even if they're faked -- that's external information, which is not allowed.
