Title: Some ATS Griefing
Post by: Gristle on October 18, 2011, 05:54:01 am

I started recording when Copper, an archer, started complaining that a teammate was kicking him whenever he tried to shoot. JuiceLayer was griefing him for most of this and the following map. Him and Palatro(ll) would also setup ladders and destroy them with teammates on them, attempting to purposely wound or kill them.

I expect more from ATS members. They would never have let actions like this stand on their (now defunct) servers.

Funny thing, a few months ago my self and a chaos member were doing similar stuff as this and one of the ATS admins banned the other guy for 2 weeks.

I noticed the admin joined spec so i stopped but the other guy didnt c and he got banned.


I would suggest the same punishment for ATS members since their own admins layed down the previous ruling for the same offense. It is only fair.

In all honesty i see 2 weeks as being a bit harsh but since an ATS admin handed it out and now their own members are doing the same thing. Its the only justified response.

best ban request ever. the epic music and their inhumanity and shamful dispray brought tears to my eyes (like that commercial with the native crying after some redneck throws shit on the road).

Will watch the video in a little bit and lay down some banhammer (if necessary)



EDIT: Alright, so, there was definitely some OBVIOUS rule breaking going on here. Juice will be banned for 5 days and Palatro for 4

Hello one and all.

Juice Layer here with a list of further information for you:
1)I am around level 14 there.
2)Copper tk'd me right before this.
3)If you don't like how I use my ladders, I never forced you to use them.
4)When I threw the ladders the wrong way that was just plain awesome.
5)Admin's were on and NO warnings were issued, as I would have stopped if I was asked.
6)Instead of anyone asking me to stop I was just called a my old friend and recorded.

Be as it may I am intoxicated at the moment, maybe you didn't handle this very nicely.

Love,
Juice Layer

I'm sure Grittles or whatever has some video proof of admins chatting to other people. I WANT THE UNEDITED VIDEO!

uh, admins never talked in admin chat... when you hit 'i' you can talk and have only admins read it. sooo either no admins were on to read the pleas for justice, or they were badmins.

AGAIN I'm sure if we can see the ENTIRE video matey, as this was obviously EDITED we may see that other admins were on, and if admins that were there did not mind then maybe it was not so bad ehh? It also looks as if you were trying to bait the ban, just saying.

Earth, I watched the video and it appears that all of the accused are guilty of teamwounding, griefing, and teamkilling. 

Additionally, the rules are on clear display in the forums.  When Juice Layer says he'd have stopped if he'd been asked he's basically saying "the laws only apply to me when an officer is, at the given time, giving me explicit instructions on which rules not to break."  This is unacceptable, but I'll leave the specifics of the banning to you.

This also speaks for itself:
2)Copper tk'd me right before this.
3)If you don't like how I use my ladders, I never forced you to use them.

I asked for admin help after you repeatedly kicked Copper until he fell off the building. That action should not require a warning. It is an obvious rule violation (equal to team wounding/killing). Being low level is not an excuse. Being intoxicated is not an excuse. You were trolling, and you were caught. Again, I expect better from ATS.

I baited you to break the ladders other teammates were standing on? I baited you to try and kick Copper and myself? The only person controlling your actions was yourself. The admins can check the chat logs. I in no way provoked you.

It is my understanding from reading the rules, that kicking players is not against the rules, unless used for griefing. Griefing would imply that it is malicious and unwanted. Maybe asking Bovine to stop would be better then recording a video, editing out parts (for whatever reason), and adding cheesy music.

I don't see team wounding and team killing, maybe you could point out where that occured.

Just because Gristle teamkilled you the round before (or whenever) may it have been by accident or not, revenge teamkilling is AGAINST the rules no matter what.

Hello one and all.

Juice Layer here with a list of further information for you:
1)I am around level 14 there. (So find a way to contribute.)
2)Copper tk'd me right before this. (Accident or not revenge teamkilling is NOT allowed.)
3)If you don't like how I use my ladders, I never forced you to use them. (Yah, this is bannable as you were clearly trying to team wound and grief your team.)
4)When I threw the ladders the wrong way that was just plain awesome.
5)Admin's were on and NO warnings were issued, as I would have stopped if I was asked. (Don't need to warn when its this blatent.)
6)Instead of anyone asking me to stop I was just called a my old friend and recorded.  (Name calling isn't against the rules - and good job for Gristle for taking the time to record, put it together and put it on youtube.)


I was messaged about this while taking a shower or else I would have been on.

Sure, where should we start. Blatant griefing where he kicks the player off the roof? That's intentional wounding and griefing. Putting up ladders to intentionally break them while teammates are on to wound them/kill (btw that's griefing your own team from winning). Last but no least, kicking CAN hurt the player, maybe not a armored target like Gristle, but for all I know copper the guy that was kicked off the roof could be taking damage in cloth.

Did you even watch the video?

If what I was doing was being taken maliciously and considered griefing, they did not make this explicitly obvious. And with saying I was useless to the team, there is no rule against being useless  in the official server rules list, and if there was would you following me not fall under this. I accept your objection and we shall strike this from the record.

Love,
The Layer of Juice.

I think you misunderstand, Copper intentionally tk'd me. I did not mind as it's a game but I at NO point team killed anyone to my knowledge in this entire fiasco.

Begrudgingly still loving you,
<3Juice Layer<3

P.S.
I do not understand where this yearn for vigilante justice has come from but I feel it is not your clans duty to do the jobs of the admins. If you feel there are not enough admins they are taking applications.

If copper actually intentionally TK'd you - you should have had it reported, or screenshot it. Lashing out and REVENGE teamwounding/teamkilling is against the rules. You also went futher then that and wounded other teammates with the ladders.

I don't see this ban being reduced in anyway, nor do I see it being removed. Best to just wait it out.

Dear Fans and Loved ones,

A wonderful concept was just brought to my attention. If there were no admins around at the time of these said infractions to the official server rules, or said admins were not doing their duty to protect and serve the server a poll kick/ban is under the acceptable courses of action to be taken to remove such problem as team attacking.

No random kick/ban polls. Always specify reason before starting a poll

    OK: poll-kicking a leecher
    OK: poll-kicking an intentional teamkiller
    NOT OK: poll-kicking someone who involuntarily hurt you
    NOT OK: poll-kicking someone because you don't like his playstyle

Okay, we're getting off topic here. Thread locked. If the players that have been banned would like to appeal said bans, make your own thread or PM me. As for this discussion, take it elsewhere.

Or, they can take a recording/screenshots of the said teamkiller to bring justice to them. Also not to mention kick/ban polls don't always work if the server doesn't know what's going on MOST people default to voting "no". Also, it doesn't work is there is a majority of a clan in a server who can vote no for there clan mate being polled.

If what your trying to tell me if posting ban requests on this forum WITH a video is not allowed and instead he should have tried to poll ban you instead, then your insane.
