Between 8 PM and 9 PM I was permabanned (1 hour ban) by Hospitaller_Devilize, as well as Allers a few second afterwards. The reason was because we "didn't attack each other." First of all, it's not like admins don't do this as well. Now I will post on why he was out of line with these bans.
From Ecko's NA_Community Thread:
UNTIL A LIST OF RULES ARE DEFINED OR UPDATED THEY WILL BE THE SAME AS OFFICIAL. ANY SHENANIGANS WHILE THE SERVERS ARE BEING TESTED WILL RESULT IN SWIFT PUNISHMENT. WE DO PATROL LOGS AND THE FORUMS. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.
From the Official Server Rules Thread:
No drawing/delaying the round on purpose (i.e. running away or camping unreachable places when you're one of the last people alive)
◦OK: running away and shooting enemies that are reachable by projectiles
◦NOT OK: running away or avoiding confrontation when there is nobody to shoot in range or everyone is behind cover
We were apparently banned for this last line of "NOT OK," but let me say what was happening. I was on my archer Miley_Mondaren_BATS, and Allers is an archer too. There was an arch that I was on one side of, while my enemies, including Allers were on the other side of. I was shooting Boots (TKoV) and another thrower who were coming at me, while Allers ran past to get a teammate that was on the left of me. I managed to kill the thrower, and then I was banned. Shortly after, Allers was banned as well.
The reason why this was out of line is because:
◦NOT OK: running away or avoiding confrontation when there is nobody to shoot in range or everyone is behind cover
I'm ranged, and I can shoot what I want. If it wasn't in my best interest to shoot Allers first, then I didn't have to. And if Allers wanted to go fight someone who was a higher priority to kill than I, why not?
The Hospitallers in their TeamSpeak told Noodles_ATS, an admin for the server, that the admin who banned us warned us several times. Yet, he is in their clan, which leads me to believe was bias. More importantly, I only noticed this admin warn about "ignoring enemies" once, but he
never mentioned any names.I don't know if I explained this correctly or clearly enough for everyone to understand--and I know this is an hour ban only--but the bans were not deserved, and maybe some people can be more careful with rules. I know what I did and what Allers did was not against the rules, but I don't know if I explained it clearly enough as to why it wasn't.
