It is my opinion that this method to push through shitty saves that are likely to be repicked should be a punishable offense. Furthermore, in protest of this method, I will simply leave any game who's host uses it. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- [Post 2] Auteur : Tauntshaman Date : January 22nd, 2023 11:35 PM Title : Re: The fast start glitch and ramming through griefer saves how about we punish every mafia player for wasting time playing mafia and sentence them to 4 weeks of tree planting to save the earth -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- [Post 3] Auteur : lawson Date : January 23rd, 2023 01:17 AM Title : Re: The fast start glitch and ramming through griefer saves yeah I agree.

This "Law" guy is a real jerk. I mean, who makes saves? WHO? How dare he. He should be banned for life. Way to deflect from the fact that you abuse the quick start exploit. It's OK to admit you're an asshole, you know. Pretending like you're not just makes you more of a loser. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- [Post 5] Auteur : lawson Date : January 23rd, 2023 01:03 PM Title : Re: The fast start glitch and ramming through griefer saves This is the first time I've heard of "quick start" as an exploit. A lot of people do it. It just gets the game started faster. How about people with 40k+ points griefing lobbies by spamming "repick repick repick" all the time with their 4x repick capabilties? Is that not an abuse of power? Some people think they're the only person that plays this game, or their opinion is the only one that matters. They don't realize they are the very loud minority with overblown repick privileges. Renegade is a repick abuser. It only takes two repick abusers to hijack lobbies. These players tend to have a lot of points and the save will usually land on them when repicked. People have been arguing over saves since the creation of this game. It doesn't matter WHAT your save is, someone will complain. Always. It could be a cookie cutter 933 and you'll hear "Not 8331?!??! SHIT SAVE!" These repick abusers need to be addressed. They hijack lobbies and stifle creativity. The game is getting less and less popular. How will new people ever get to enjoy the game if they get their saves repicked by one of these bullies? I think we should remove the additional repick votes rewarded with points. It really skews the perception that creative saves are unwanted, because even WITH these trolls trying to hijack my lobbies, they still don't succeed most of the time. That should tell you how many people actually dislike the saves. The loud minority. 28936 -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- [Post 6] Auteur : Renegade Date : January 23rd, 2023 02:35 PM Title : Re: The fast start glitch and ramming through griefer saves The solution to repick spam is to only allow repicks up to 3 times. After the third repick, the game defaults to standard and starts. People have been arguing over saves since the creation of this game. It doesn't matter WHAT your save is, someone will complain. Always. It could be a cookie cutter 933 and you'll hear "Not 8331?!??! SHIT SAVE!" False equivalence. People complaining about the difference between 933 and 8331 is minor. Looking at your latest creations and thinking this isn't even worth playing is a much bigger difference. You use "cookie cutter" to undercut "standard" saves like 8331 and 933, but the fact is a lot more thought was put into the balance of those than your so called "creative" saves. How will new people ever get to enjoy the game if they get their saves repicked by one of these bullies? New people shouldn't be hosting saves. because even WITH these trolls trying to hijack my lobbies, they still don't succeed most of the time. That should tell you how many people actually dislike the saves. You actually do not give people the time to repick. So this assertion is invalid. Let's extend the time to repick to a full 30 seconds and see if any of your saves survive a simple majority of players. You use the quick start exploit to ram through your saves because you know they aren't popular. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- [Post 7] Auteur : Renegade Date : January 23rd, 2023 02:39 PM Title : Re: The fast start glitch and ramming through griefer saves Lawson, and others who host dubious saves, refuse to even have a conversation about their saves and their balance. Talk about a hyper extreme minority, there is no attempt to even rationalize why they want these saves other than "oh look! shiny bauble DF let's throw two in for massive confusion and day shooting fun!". Instant gratification types. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- [Post 8] Auteur : lawson Date : January 23rd, 2023 03:53 PM Title : Re: The fast start glitch and ramming through griefer saves The save you posted in the original post is an 82221. Every save I have ever played was thoroughly thought through with balance in mind. I watched the replay of that double mason game and you even recognized that you were supposed to be the gov. But then, you didn't act like the gov. You just raged the whole game and contributed nothing towards the win condition. What is balance to you? Balance to me is a game where all factions have an equal chance at victory. All my saves tend to end up in close games, that is most definitely the intent. Sometimes it takes a few games to get the balance right, like with any save. You tell me I refuse to have a conversation about my saves? I will explain the idea behind every single one. You just like to shout obscenities at people. You're really good at seeming composed on these forums, but in game you're not the person you're trying to portray yourself as here. The Double Flowers don't become Enforcer. It's a Maf vs Triad save. I put double mason to replace the gov because they can act as a gov but why would DF shoot a mason? If both masons confirmed themselves during day town would have two govs, would both DFs shoot both masons? They might need to save that for a better target. If you notice, there's no NK, the 2x DF are supposed to be the NK. Mafia has GF and Consig, because Consig becomes GF and that makes them a bit stronger. Also, the Mafia will have the benefit of information via the Consig, because they don't win ties with Triad and it might be useful for them to be able to scout out Triad. All Neutral Evils are not available in that save, including from the Any Random, because I figured without a traditional gov, Town might have a hard time versus the two factions. I'd say that one game we played with that save, it was pretty close. As the GF, if I had shot the Det instead of the Mason, it was possible to create enough plausible deniability to where I could fool the town into thinking I was the doc and not 13. Balance to me are close games where every faction has a chance to win. You can't judge balance just by looking at the roles list. You have to see how the game plays out. I don't create interesting saves to troll, I create them to make new metas and provide new experiences. I play like one or two games a day, and if I DO get repicked I don't quit the lobby, I play whatever save gets loaded up. I'm not forcing anything on anyone, I'm breathing fresh air into a stale community. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- [Post 9] Auteur : WrathCyber Date : January 24th, 2023 05:42 AM Title : Re: The fast start glitch and ramming through griefer saves Has anyone ever tried making a 111111111111111 save before? That would be fun. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- [Post 10] Auteur : lawson Date : January 24th, 2023 04:11 PM Title : Re: The fast start glitch and ramming through griefer saves This guy is actually griefing the community. He's literally harassing me, personally, even when I say nothing to instigate it. Look at how he behaves in game: 28937 It's funny how he makes statements like "Oo shiny bauble DF" but when I explain myself he has nothing to say. Well the image above shows you who he truly is. I spoke nothing to him in lobby or that game, but he flames waKwaK's save and then somehow my name is included in his flaming? This is straight up harassment. Also, this is wAkWaK's "shitty save" that got flamed all game. This is what I meant when I said "It doesn't matter WHAT your save is, someone will complain. Always." 28939 This guy calls us all griefers, but he's the only person actually griefing. I'm honestly getting kind of sick of this toxic behavior, and people like this should definitely not have 4x repick capabilities. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- [Post 11] Auteur : Renegade Date : January 24th, 2023 06:10 PM Title : Re: The fast start glitch and ramming through griefer saves Do you really think it is at all fun to play on a triad team of two DF? You become effectively useless after firing. They are simply shiny trickets for a simpleton to throw 2 in their save for all the chaos. No thought given to their balance or how it feels to get entrapped on that team as one of them. Reminds me of the any random folk that like to throw in a single triad in a mafia save. Wakwak's save is hidden shit save. Looks normal on the surface but he doesn't mention that he sets the jester chance so high that it is likely 3 of them will spawn. I am merely informing people of that fact. I'll give you credit at least you are more explicit with your "creativity". I will continue to bring awareness of your troll saves and encourage people to repick you Law. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- [Post 12] Auteur : lawson Date : January 24th, 2023 07:18 PM Title : Re: The fast start glitch and ramming through griefer saves Shit I WANT to be on the team with two DF. That's like saying Judge is effectively useless after he courts. You still have a vote, you can still lie, you can still lynch your way to victory. You also get a second shot at day 7. You have an opposing team (Mafia) that you know is evil that you can divert attention to in order to keep the lynches off of you. There are two benigns there that ALSO provide more of a gray area, AND an Any. The whole premise is that you don't use your shot to help the Mafia, you might need to use it to SHOOT the Mafia. That's what makes it fun, it's a three faction dynamic. The triad in that save get TWO day shots. I've seen Arsonists win with fewer kills than that. I know I'm a simpleton, but let me explain wAkWaK's save to you. There may be a high Jester chance, but there's also a Marshall with 2 lynches with 3 lynches each. I see what he's going for. Also probably why he allows for 2 NK, because Marsh is so strong. However ALL of this is detracting from the real issue here, how toxic you are to the community. All you do is shit on everyone, and that's not OK. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- [Post 13] Auteur : Drizzt Date : January 24th, 2023 07:25 PM Title : Re: The fast start glitch and ramming through griefer saves Renegade, I say this with sincerity and no malice. You need to start hosting with saves you approve and have looked over. Everyone else, people with points get extra -repicks because, in theory, a person with a bunch of points should have experience enough to spot a terrible save and divert it. Personally, I only repick if they are AFK or trolling. Ren probably diverts more bad saves by having more -repicks than the average person. Does he abuse the -repicks? Idk, that's between him, the programmer, and God. We can't see that mechanic in replays. Is it a perfect system? No, but it is the system we have. He is very passionate about saves having a minimum standard of quality, and that's why he needs to start hosting. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- [Post 14] Auteur : Renegade Date : January 24th, 2023 07:35 PM Title : Re: The fast start glitch and ramming through griefer saves I will continue to bring awareness to poorly designed saves like yours, Etiennes, wakwaks, and others.

It was started by SCVMurderer, he used to play as THE LYNCH TRAIN, he'd prefer neutral roles and hijack games starting random lynch trains on people. It was at a time when I was preferring town exclusively, and was quite the 933 tryhard. I used to -prefer jailor and just fuckin wreck him every game because I knew what he was up to. You know the saying, you either quit young or see yourself play long enough to become the villain. Anyways, here's some feedback on one of my "shit saves". This is the stuff I live for right here. I was "Chargin Mah Lazer" because when am I NOT DH right? lol. 28944 P.S. Town won. In this save the Mayors keep their votes when they're culted.

First thing first, having two mayors, or two GF, or any other unique role doubled is not permissible through the in-game editor.

Two possible answers: 1- Bank Hacking (I won't elaborate here) 2- Copied from another bank hacker Either way, Law should get rid of this setup before trouble starts to accumulate. If none of the above answers are correct, feel free to tell me how you achieved this, Law. Now, about the community statement. Hosting a save with Stump is prohibited, why? It could potentially be a lot of fun ? But it is forbidden, and you can't 'legally', so you don't. Hosting a save with Caroler/EB/Justice is not directly prohibited through the rules ? It could potentially be a lot of fun ? But it was slated to be an event role, and people having this role in their own setup had to remove it. Hosting a save with 2xMayor/2xGF/2xUnique is not directly prohibited through the rules ? It could potentially be a lot of fun ? But it is stated in the role description 'UNIQUE', so it is planned to be a 'UNIQUE' role, so this is NOT EVEN RULE-BREAKING, this is GAME-BREAKING. So as long as the word UNIQUE is present in the description, and as long as you are running save with multiple self-unique role(s), you are gamebreaking. Gamebreaking is an offense. There is a huge gap between having a fun/pleasant/new experience and having a save you are not supposed to have unless you made use of 3P, or copied someone who did so. People have been punished in the past for running Stump saves, and this situation is relatable. Therefore, I would advise you to remove those kind of setups, as fast as you can. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- [Post 27] Auteur : rumox Date : January 29th, 2023 05:04 AM Title : Re: The fast start glitch and ramming through griefer saves Once upon a time when sotd was a thing there was a setup that had two confirmed Mayors -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- [Post 28] Auteur : Renegade Date : January 29th, 2023 09:43 AM Title : Re: The fast start glitch and ramming through griefer saves Thank you Auwt. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- [Post 29] Auteur : Auwt Date : January 29th, 2023 02:52 PM Title : Re: The fast start glitch and ramming through griefer saves Once upon a time when sotd was a thing there was a setup that had two confirmed Mayors Yeah, indeed, I also recall an old version of this.

The flexibility of SC2Mafia is unfortunately a double-edged sword. We get pretty fun unusual setups from time to time, but most of the time they're an unbalanced mess. I know various creators do their best to "balance" their setups... but more often than not, they cannot even explain how balance works in Mafia. How can they create balance when they don't even understand what it is?? Why is calling out such poorly-made setups a bad thing? How can the creators improve if they refuse to listen to feedback? Or perhaps, they think they know better than everyone else? It's as if they are deaf to criticism. I don't think there's anything wrong with pointing out bad setups and preferring tried-and-tested formulas like 933 and 8331. lawson Do you even know what's KPN? -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- [Post 38] Auteur : rumox Date : February 4th, 2023 01:11 AM Title : Re: The fast start glitch and ramming through griefer saves DR more or less approved these setups by adding them into the sotd feature.

It is true that there was such a setup, and that it was officially approved to be in the game. However, such a setup is not possible for a player to create without bankhacking. Perhaps you didn't read the thread in detail. I direct you to Auwt's clear summary of the issue: First thing first, having two mayors, or two GF, or any other unique role doubled is not permissible through the in-game editor. Which is raising a main issue; how does Law have this setup in the first place? Two possible answers: 1- Bank Hacking (I won't elaborate here) 2- Copied from another bank hacker Either way, Law should get rid of this setup before trouble starts to accumulate. If none of the above answers are correct, feel free to tell me how you achieved this, Law. Now, about the community statement. Hosting a save with Stump is prohibited, why? It could potentially be a lot of fun ? But it is forbidden, and you can't 'legally', so you don't. Hosting a save with Caroler/EB/Justice is not directly prohibited through the rules ? It could potentially be a lot of fun ? But it was slated to be an event role, and people having this role in their own setup had to remove it. Hosting a save with 2xMayor/2xGF/2xUnique is not directly prohibited through the rules ? It could potentially be a lot of fun ? But it is stated in the role description 'UNIQUE', so it is planned to be a 'UNIQUE' role, so this is NOT EVEN RULE-BREAKING, this is GAME-BREAKING. So as long as the word UNIQUE is present in the description, and as long as you are running save with multiple self-unique role(s), you are gamebreaking. Gamebreaking is an offense. There is a huge gap between having a fun/pleasant/new experience and having a save you are not supposed to have unless you made use of 3P, or copied someone who did so. People have been punished in the past for running Stump saves, and this situation is relatable. Therefore, I would advise you to remove those kind of setups, as fast as you can. It is also worth noting that SOTD is no longer in the game, and neither is the 2 Mayors setup. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- [Post 41] Auteur : DJarJar Date : February 4th, 2023 11:06 PM Title : Re: The fast start glitch and ramming through griefer saves DR more or less approved these setups by adding them into the sotd feature. I think a better solution to your problem is to host your own games rather than have moderation step in for you. bad take all around 1) even if you host your own save you can be repicked 2) the bad actors here are using a glitch frinckles needs to patch where they can force through a bad save before there is enough time for people to repick 3) even the customization that is actually ALLOWED by the save editor allows for plenty of shit saves so certainly anything NOT allowed by it is especially egregious 4) A single SOTD might have actually been good and balanced - doesn't mean other people should be trusted with the power to make their own shit version of it 5) mafia games are hard enough to get into at this point that "just play a different lobby" isn't viable anymore. There is one lobby most of the time. And it therefore needs to have a reasonably balanced save -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- [Post 42] Auteur : Exeter350 Date : February 5th, 2023 12:09 AM Title : Re: The fast start glitch and ramming through griefer saves bad take all around 1) even if you host your own save you can be repicked 2) the bad actors here are using a glitch frinckles needs to patch where they can force through a bad save before there is enough time for people to repick 3) even the customization that is actually ALLOWED by the save editor allows for plenty of shit saves so certainly anything NOT allowed by it is especially egregious 4) A single SOTD might have actually been good and balanced - doesn't mean other people should be trusted with the power to make their own shit version of it 5) mafia games are hard enough to get into at this point that "just play a different lobby" isn't viable anymore.

However, your point that it needs to be fixed still stands. Think you and Auwt hit the nail on the head on everything. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- [Post 43] Auteur : rumox Date : February 5th, 2023 12:37 AM Title : Re: The fast start glitch and ramming through griefer saves bad take all around 1) even if you host your own save you can be repicked 2) the bad actors here are using a glitch frinckles needs to patch where they can force through a bad save before there is enough time for people to repick 3) even the customization that is actually ALLOWED by the save editor allows for plenty of shit saves so certainly anything NOT allowed by it is especially egregious 4) A single SOTD might have actually been good and balanced - doesn't mean other people should be trusted with the power to make their own shit version of it 5) mafia games are hard enough to get into at this point that "just play a different lobby" isn't viable anymore.

Yes fellate him more while you are at it. You ignore the fact that you are hacking to create your saves and all the criticism waged at them. You are a narcissist, and now your thin veil of charm is even better. We will solve the law problem one way or another. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- [Post 46] Auteur : JKim Date : February 5th, 2023 01:50 PM Title : Re: The fast start glitch and ramming through griefer saves This seems like a map problem to me.

They don't have time to repick if the host uses the quick start exploit. They don't like how the democratic repick system doesn't vote """correctly""", so they are asking admins to intervene on their behalf. It's not a democratic system if players are not given enough time to vote. And yes, due to the quick start exploit, the system doesn't work correctly. I've never even seen people even complain about the 2 constable save and I've played it over a dozen times already completely unaware of its origins. Blatant subjective bias or social unawareness. Or perhaps, a habit of ignoring "haters" or "the opposition"? There are many complaints. I am aware that there are also some supporters. I make no claims as to what the "majority" is because that's stupid. Anyone can make such a baseless claim. Please show your statistical data instead of anecdotal observation which is more prone to bias. The only problem that exists here is that a couple of people with poor character want to force their opinions, their tastes, their idea of what is ethical and what isn't in a video game, onto the majority. Bank hackers, bug exploiters and rule breakers are paragons of virtue to you, are they? These are the people who abuse the quick start bug to circumvent the democratic repick system that you espouse. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- [Post 50] Auteur : Renegade Date : February 13th, 2023 06:45 PM Title : Re: The fast start glitch and ramming through griefer saves Look at Law, hosting more griefer saves.

I'm actually kind of upset that the mods sided with you on the double constable saves. You literally removed colors from the palette that save makers get to paint from. Your actions directly lead to a duller game. The whole idea is to have a role combination or a role that you can't just add to your save, you can only get it from copying it. It makes it rare, which makes it interesting. It's like a rare Pokemon card or something. There's just something cool about it. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- [Post 55] Auteur : Renegade Date : February 25th, 2023 09:40 PM Title : Re: The fast start glitch and ramming through griefer saves that made me laugh.

Your explanation can also be used to describe Stump saves, which is an offense. Maybe you'd like to protest against that too? Exclusivity is the motivation for "unique" and "whacky" things like having a fish picture for a name. Or a dynamic clock. Or a name that copies someone else's. Or hacking and being able to identify people's roles out of nowhere. Or using mod commands to make your avatar huge and start killing other units. These are all things that make people go "Wow! How did you do that?" It gives the user a sense of satisfaction from their perceived power that others don't have. But not everything that is flashy is good. Do you lack attention irl or something? I simply don't understand your prolonged attention seeking behaviour. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- [Post 57] Auteur : Exeter350 Date : February 26th, 2023 01:30 AM Title : Re: The fast start glitch and ramming through griefer saves The whole idea is to have a role combination or a role that you can't just add to your save, you can only get it from copying it.

Also, doesn't this mean your sense of satisfaction is derived from breaking the rules? If 2 Constables is changed to be allowed in normal setups, it wouldn't be rare, and therefore it wouldn't be interesting anymore. Meaning you'd need to find some new way to break the rules and chase a new high (like 3 Constables!!!). -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- [Post 58] Auteur : BusterCannon Date : February 26th, 2023 06:57 AM Title : Re: The fast start glitch and ramming through griefer saves I'm with Renegade on this one.
