Last night I violated the rules and intentionally killed someone's horse which resulted in a ban. I understand it was against the policy to attack a teammate and also that I should have attempted to resolve any issues by first seeking out an Admin; rather than resolving the issue through team wounding.
The problem I had was this: A doorway was used by our team to enter and engage the enemy who was charging from the other side. One of our team members was on a horse and intentionally stopped to bottle-neck those eagerly trying to get through. This resulted in half our team fighting while the second half stood helpless; waiting for this player to move his horse. After 30 seconds of this, I took it upon myself to kill the horse and open up the doorway for our team. I didn't realize the rider was an Admin who promptly banned me.
Although I understand I broke the rules, it was not to intentionally cause grief to team members but to enhance our game play. I hope you can understand that and will consider unbanning my account. My character name is KC_Admiral.
Thank you.
* Note: It wasn't actually a doorway being blocked, but was rather the siege tower stairs. For simplicity's sake, I used the term doorway which describes the same situation.
