Situation no.1: I kicked multiple times a teammate in order to be able to escort a stuck player from the other team (Ozone, who is my in game buddy) back to the mason's territory. I chosed to kick him because I did not want to TK, also I did not want them to kill Ozone. In the post of Catbug he provides a video recording in which you can see that I asked to let Ozone pass, for which the reply was :"let him, in a COFFIN" (Catbug/Coneman's response). I tried to get Ozone back to the cave. Because Catbug tried to shoot him with a ballista, I destroyed the ballista while trying to not damage my teammate which goal I did achieve. As you can see it in the video, I did not damage my teammate with my weapon. When the situation started to be complicated, Ozone got the ballista and they started to fight, I did not intervene because I was not aiming to be a TKer. I simply walked away at the first instance when Ozone showed aggressivity towards my teammate. I did what I did in order to lead back a buddy to safety in the name of fair play because we captured really fast the gates of the cave and he spawned too late. I did not protect a spawnkiller, I did not TK a teammate. I do apologise for causing damage to a teammate, however I think it is important that I used only kicks which shows that I was not aiming to kill the said teammate, but to keep him in a safe distance from my buddy. I am following the SM rules' guidlines generally. As I understand the SM rules, I did not violate them, only if the kicking is counted as TKing. If so, I apologise for it. If escorting a buddy from another team is unacceptable, I will avoid it in the futur.

Situation no2.: MonkeyFiend mentioned that I was up to mischief lately. This I do not understand since I cannot recall any kind of rude behaviour. I would be delighted if you could point out what I did, because now without details I am unsure what do you have in mind. Maybe my small argument with Queen who thought I question her/his authority, but I only wanted to know how can I contact an admin if I am muted and I want to appeal (I was muted in a match bc we spoke about some dividing things in the chat(in a previous match), but when the admin asked us to stop, most of us did with a few exceptions who were spanked. At the time I felt it accidental that Queen muted me and wanted to parole). In that time I did phrase my question poorly and it might have came down as standoffish for which I apologised there to said admin. Sadly, I have no proof to support my statement, as I said I do not record. though I do not want to blame Queen or any other admin since it was a mutual misunderstanding sourced in my poorly phrased questions, therefore the responsability is on my part (that's why I apologised). If I am mistaken, could you please specify what do you mean under mischief that results in a 10 times longer ban than the initial? I am up to communicate it out, bc I dont want to leave a bitter taste after this

I just want to explain the situation and why I put the initial ban. There are 2 teams in T.O. and killing players from the opposing team is a large part of the game. Catbug was in his right to go after and try to kill Ozone. You, kicking Catbug in order to prevent this, weren't. Kicking teammates is team damage. It is only allowed if the teammate is trying to block a narrow passage, where you couldn't just simply go around.

More over, mason player staying behind on that map is a common situation. It doesn't matter if agatha took the objective quickly or not. The moment the objective is taken all the mason players who are not dead are basically behind. Some of them then tend to stick behind and go and use the balista to shoot at agatha at their new spawn. It is therefore perfectly reasonable, that Catbug wanted to the mason player.

Also, I happen to know that if you start from the former mason spawn and you want to go to the cave, you need to go down the stairs and then to the left. While the balista is on the right. How come you wanted to escort him in that direction?
