Mazz, I don't mean to imply that you must always play to win, and that you can never smack around (hell, I'm one of the smacker leaders, right behind my 'ol pal RiSK
). However, you aren't supposed to smack around to the detriment of your team (at 3am, with 10 people on, ok, maybe...). I was actually on the other team, so I don't know the entire story, I was only catching the pieces you sent globaly (this actually occured before I was an admin, I think).
And I had hoped it was a joke, I didn't really think you were serious, but I also wasn't sure you weren't. It was not funny, and didn't contain any smilies/etc to indicate sarcasm, which can sometimes be hard to pick up in a post.
You've been a solid player in the past, and it's a shame things turned out this way. However, I cannot comment on the ban specifically since I'm not the admin who handed it out. You'll have to wait on that person for an answer as to whether or not to lift the ban.
And Camel.......stop drinking at work. period.
