could we maybe alter the rules so that people don't think that the smurf rule is only so you don't get banned on tl.net but that it's actually because we don't want veterans/smurfs playing in newbie games/any game, at least not without host knowing about it? it's kind of obvious but maybe kush actually did make that mistake as he claims he did and no one is interested in having anything like that happen again.

like, remove the mikeymoo quote and say "smurfing is illegal unless cleared by the host before the joining the game".

Well even if he were to slightly misinterpret something, see the OP for XXXV. Also, Thrawn took the time to post:

There is no interpretation of that which allows for smurfing.

oh i was thinking about the standard OP that says something like a mikeymoo quote and nothing else.

this one

i'm not in any way talking about the kush ban because i didn't follow it very closely, i just noticed that he said something about the rule and then i remember that i have also thought that it was a bit curious that it was just a mikeymoo quote and didn't say anything about how smurfing is not allowed because of mafia reasons and not because of tl.net reasons.

yes that mikeymoo quote says you can smurf.

honestly who hasn't been banned from tl jesus..
anyway sorry I will take the 3 game ban I was acting like an ass there I apologize.

I do not see anything morally wrong with smurfing in a newbie game. Everyone has different values.

Please don't perma ban me but if you do I will be back in disguise what else can I say? I love tlmafia too much to let an ip ban stop me.

"I don't see anything wrong with murder. Everyone has different values."

That may be the case, but in this country/site, what you do is considered wrong, and is indeed explicitly in the rules.

If you want to play here, you play by the rules set down by the forum and the hosts. It's VERY simple indeed.

I have no remorse sorry. I smurfed in a newbie game. I may do it again only you wont know about it next time hopefully. And you can't check smurfs because obviously I use a different IP. I have been banned from TL many times so I know how to create more accounts.

My only crime is smurfing in a newbie game though. Any kind of "trolling" I am accused of is actually just me trying to play scum while roleplaying. I was playing to my win con at all times.

The ban of three games is ridiculously long. I do not believe what I did is technically illegal. Any mention of smurfing in tlmafia rules says it is not allowed on TL unless you tell the host about it. TL.net didn't care so I didn't have to tell the host.

Congrats, you are done with TL Mafia. Don't bother coming back. If you can't see why fucking over a host and a newbie game is wrong, I don't want you here. (subject to discussion, I might be swayed, although I don't see how)


I fully agree with this.

I'd love to see all the other reasons kush got banned since he claims to have "been banned from TL many times"

Could someone not related to the game provide an objective summary of the situation?

I can make out that both players smurfed in a newbie game without telling the host about it, but I'm wondering why thrawn is requesting a permanent ban for threesr and a three game for kush? What's the difference in their situations?

Also, does this warrant a permanent ban, or just a longer term temp ban? Isn't this sort of situation why we experimented with time based bans? Did that stop?

I'm wondering, because I'm not sure if this is the first time that this situation has come up since we introduced Newbie games. To my knowledge, it is, correct me if I'm wrong. So, before this point, have newbie game hosts been smurf checking their games? Or have no hosts actually been doing that, and we don't know if this is the first time people have smurfed or just the first time they've been caught? If that's the case, why isn't it standard procedure for all newbie games to be screened, if the potential of smurfs in the game is enough to warrant discussion of life-time bans? If I'm wrong, and this has happened before, what's the precedent for how it was handled?

IIRC threesr got modkilled/replaced in every game he played so far.

Which is prolly the reason.


Smurfs have happened before in newbie games (XXIX was the latest iirc), but that was a guy that was already permabanned in the first place, so eh.

I don't think IP checks are ('were', now) very widely used in newbies.

If I'm wrong, and this has happened before, what's the precedent for how it was handled?

1.) It hasn't happened before (at least not with these specifics [XXIX was a PBU who had never played mafia before, not a smurf of a mafia player])
2.) I usually do screen newbies for smurfs, but sometimes games slip through the cracks. It's as much my fault as the hosts for not ensuring i checked, but its a side issue, I'll be more on top of it in the future. Still it doesn't excuse the behavior.
3.) This is a violation of the newbie game rules, and a violation of the rules in the OP of that game, not only is it a willful disobedience of the rules set down by a host, but it violates the intent of a newbie game, which is to give newbies a fair environment in which to learn. The reason why its more serious for threesr is because he is currently banned for inactivity on top of everything else (so also smurfing to avoid the banlist). The biggest issue with kush isn't just that he smurfed, its that he refuses to acknowledge that what he did is wrong, and says he's going to do it again.

sorry I smurfed it was wrong and against the rule
s
Sorry to the host thrawn for my deceit and to the newbs whose game I tainted with my nonnewbness and subsequent modkill.

I won't smurf into newbs ever again (even if I get permabanned I will go straight into normal games with my smurf I promise).
Sorry for the attitude earlier sometimes I get like that I don't know why.

The problem is Kush. Is that everyone will know who you are as soon as you play for a while. And then you will get banned again.

I really wish that you had just accepted your punishment, (which was quite lenient) Apologized and reformed.

But if you are stating you are going to smurf again to avoid the ban. That shows you have zero remorse for your actions and that is quite rightly going to piss people off.

Your actions in games suggest otherwise. You don't love the spirit of the game. You don't abide by the rules, as laid down by the hosts. You don't play for mutual fun, only your own.

Just like a host is strongly discouraged from making a setup that includes zero scum and all town. Same sort of spirit of fair play.
