I was following along with this ban as well, just in steam chat instead of in-game (filling my face with food).
From the sounds of it you were ghosting off your roommate, yahooearth. I told Liam to maybe teamswap you or make you autojoin or whatever, because I understand that people listen to speakers or glance over on occasion. But from the sounds of it you persistently joined the same team, both of you.
first off, don’t make too much of a habit of listening to each other’s speakers or watching screens, etc. … then it’s bad ghosting. also the reason for teamswapping and autojoining are to keep it even, even if you do end up hearing each other.
We ain’t Halo or TF2, and we ain’t playing teams, we’re a pub. thus why this would be ghosting and not team-ness. and ghosting = bad.
^—- that answers what I am told was the reason for your ban.
now for the extent of it, i told liam personally to go ahead and extend it when i saw you go straight for the “admin abuse” instead of a ban appeal. I need to lay that out in a rule on that, blame me for any dissatisfaction you have with that decision, but if you’re going to call out an admin for abuse of banhammer, at least start doing so with your appeal. Or if it’s like you’re calling it and an admin (in this case Liam) appears to be abusing admin, then is when you should go to irc, the forums, or otherwise contacting me or another admin, and call it out, instead of collecting a list. I’d be more than happy to jump in and watch under some alias, I’ve done it many times before when i hear there’s a player hacking.
now for where this will go: same process as always, the ban will be reviewed and you’ll hear when we decide on what to do about it.
this is absurd.
First, how would i know where to make an appeal!? Look at my post count, i have 3 posts now. You cannot honestly use that against me for posting in the wrong section.
Second, GHOSTING!?! Are you kidding me? Jokingly, yahoo said i can here “Rogers” speakers. Not once did i ever look at his computer nor did he tell me where any people were. Yahoos score tonight was *edited* poor (ninja can vouch for that) and mine was nothing to be proud of. Liam is using ghosting as another way to keep me banned. Yahoo is an admin and he knows the consequences of ghosting.
Another flawed point, we chose the same teams!?!?!? I choose CT every single time. Yahoo chooses auto assign. I was auto balanced quite a few times tonight.
You cannot tell me that ghosting is the reason of the ban. That is absurd. Ask anyone in the server and see if yahoo and i were causing issues due to “cheating.”
If anything, this is another ploy for Liam to further the ban against me.
