ban appeal Options

[SirCornwell]

Good evening gentlemen,

some players might know me, some might not.
I'd like to bring a question on the round table.
I've been recently banned and I wanted to respectfully know the reason. It might refer to a specific situation. Correct me if I am wrong:

On a specific day last week the map "Outpost" was chosen on your server. When a mason placed the last masonic chieftain to the mason spawnpoint (into the house) I switched from aga to mason and tried to kill the chieftain.
The reason is, as you probably know, players feel much sympathy to unbalance the gameplay so I did nothing but fighting for justice. This case happens pretty often so I was encouraged to do something.
To be honest it probably wasn't the best behaviour however is it the right decision to ban someone who's about to bring back balance to the match?
It was in the interest of all Agathians to get a fair match.
Hopefully we can find a solution together. In addition I'm very interested to know who banned me.

Hello Sir Robin,

well then in this case you tell me something new. I didn't know that.
What I know is that I got banned as a mason right after I raised my sword and hit the masonic chieftain.
In my personal view killing the chieftain would bring back the balance because I've experienced that as an agathian player it's practically impossible to win the match on Outpost
when a chieftain is placed by a mason right to the mason spawnpoint on the last stage.
I'm always open to hear successful stories in relation to that however in my entire time when I played on your server (This has been numerous hours of gameplay) I never noticed that
Agathians have made it to kill the last chieftain on the mason spawnpoint.
The way of doing so wasn't very smart from me in general - I have to admit. However what I won't do is to get on my knees and beg for mercy like other players in this area of the forum.
I am a proud and respectful player. When I do a specific action like this one it's always based on an ethical reason. And therefore I will always remain true to my principles
when I notice that players of a specific faction are fooled. That doesn't mean I would do the same again tomorrow or the next time but I want to show you my personal view relating to this case.

We'll have to wait for the admin how banned you to come and describe their side of the story. And to make a decision whether to lift your ban or not. If that doesn't happen in 3 days after your appeal, we'll provisionally lift it.

In my personal view killing the chieftain would bring back the balance because I've experienced that as an agathian player it's practically impossible to win the match on Outpost

If you were able to do that, I'd feel cheated, no matter on which team I'm playing on. Similar things actually happen on maps with kings/generals, where somebody deliberately TKs the king. This is worse than normal team killing, because it cheats all other players on both teams. So I don't think it brings balance.

One way to counter this is to attack the chieftain before they get him near spawn. The chieftain tries to go after you and can be killed before they can protect him there.

There are other situations, where the defending team can make a target hard to get to. On the one hand this is a dickish move, which can be abused for easy win. On the other hand, it makes the battles more tactical and makes us try to solve the problems in new ways.

However what I won't do is to get on my knees and beg for mercy like other players in this area of the forum.

We don't want to make players beg to be unbanned. What we look for is assurance that they understand why the rules are there and why they shouldn't break them.
