So, I'm in complete understanding of that ban on my alt and all. I mean, let's be honest we all had fun with that one at everyone's expense. "I hope you're not the Starscream I think you are." Though, sadly, I'm not here to talk about the ban on my alternate account.
The ban on my original account was/is silly at best. If I remember correctly it's been labeled as "Trolling" and "Ruining player experience." These tags came from the one and only Doppel who wasn't present, though I know you ominous admins have your chat logs and all, right? So, let's take a closer look at what I did and didn't do. I have blatantly called Phantom a baddie several times. Post repercussion from that I only called him a baddie once after a small 1v1 battle. Now onto what I think is the crown jewel of it all, the Owl incident. I asked her to not heal me. She refused. The wha-mbulance was called. She and I resolved our differences via steam chat. I'm sure she'd be happy to agree that we did resolve our differences in steam chat as well. Though we didn't agree to like each other we did settle the dispute and to at least be civil. These are my offenses all laid out.
My first offense of calling Phantom a baddie several times: I hadn't played at CSn for some time before this incident. During my abscence I had no idea that the holy mod-ship of CSn decided to go on a genocide of CSn regulars and wanted to punish behavior that was never punished before. I was at fault for not being in the know for this one. Yes, I was gagged. Then ungagged for whatever reason (Y'know 'cause the gag kind of stops me from using text chat and those who know me know I hate using voice. So, it was obviously a viable solution.), kicked, then banned for one hour. I admit complete fault here because I kept pushing buttons just to push buttons. However, I do want to point out shit talk is a VERY normal occurrence in all CSn servers I've been to. Even after this silly crusade most of you admins have went on it's still prevalent. I'm not seeing punishment for those people. Why am I an exception?
My second "offense" of calling Phantom a baddie once: I called him a baddie once. Seriously. I completely laid off after it. I made a single remark. See shit talk rant above.
My third "offense" of not wanting Owl to heal me: I didn't want her heals. I did ask nicely, using the word please, though that was overlooked. Yes, I did get rude after my pleas weren't abided. Things were resolved afterwards in steam chat. I think it's a bit absurd that it had to go that far but obviously everything is serious business in the CSn these days.
So, the issue is apparently me talking some shit time to time to one or two people even after I've bothered with it substantially less. Even in my few moments in CSn East Chicago 1 I heard more shit talk that I ever gave. I find the ban to be unfair because I am somehow an exception to what you folks see as a generic shit talking simply because I'm not some sort of best buddy with you. Hell, I was almost at the point where I barely even spoke in text chat aside from my awesome "Yeah!" bind. So, is there some sort of deeper issue here or do you guys plan to start banning anyone and everyone who says the tiniest thing to another player?
By all means, I have taken note of my faults, as minor as I believe them to be, and don't plan to indulge in such behavior again whilst visiting the magical land of floating Critical Sandviches, though I am keeping the "Yeah!" bind.
