not only did you drive a jeep to the airfield but you actively used it to prevent an admin's plane from taking off while our team was getting slaughtered.

Well, I had no idea about the game situation.

I was being a dumbass, I admit it. I do not think I should have been banned tho for something that I could have been told not to do considering I was on TS...

But, my apoligizes, I hope the admin isnt too pissed because I am a semi-regular to the server and I hope to be playing there again asap.

You had no idea about the game situation? Weren't you IN the game?

So you admit to purposely using a jeep to hinder your teammates on the airfield? If this is the case, I don't see any need for you to be unbanned.

Act like a dumbass somewhere else.

I just joined the game, hoped in a jeep and tried to get the plane. So I really didn't check the basic game status.

Please give me another chance, I'm just browsing through the forums and I have to say theres been worse cases than mine than people got off more easier.

I feel like I approached this in a reasonable matter, presented an apology and am simply asking for another shot.

The admin who banned you will read your post and answer.

You should read the rules.

Here you go.

3: Taking vehicles to an airfield: Do not take any vehicle to the airstrips next to the main base, period. The only time you are allowed to use a vehicle to reach a plane is on Gazala, to reach the B17 location, and only a jeep is allowed for that, anything else, any other map, instant kick.

You wouldn't think reading the rules would be required to know you shouldn't do this.

Also, who's done worse than this and received a second chance? I'd like to see that.

Being on TS does not free you from the reponsibilty of reading the rules for the server. Nor is it an automatic free pass for being a (to be blunt here) flat out jackass.

But, my apoligizes, I hope the admin isnt too pissed because I am a semi-regular to the server and I hope to be playing there again asap.

This counts against you more than it counts for you. Being a "semi-regular" means you SHOULD ALREADY be familiar with how the server is run. Doubly so since you were on Teamspeak. I think at the very least you call rule out an ASAP return to the server. Just my two cents. :blow:

Yes, I do nto get his excuses. I do not see why he needed to have it pointed out he was doing something wrong. Doesn't common sense tell you it isn't?

I am the admin who banned you.

Not only did you take a jeep to a plane which is against the server rules, you SAT in the jeep the whole time preventing the plane from even taking off.

I kept yelling "no no" with radio calsl in hopes you would be smart enough to move away.

By doing the above, the B17 then came and damaged the plane which hurt the team further by having it have to be repaired or take off with half energy when it would have been long gone have you not done what you did.

You say you are a semi-regular? Then you should know our rules. Even so, you sat in front of the plane on purpose to prevent a plane from taking off because you could not get it, I saw you.

Not only did you perform 2 silly moves, the persons plane you sat in front of was an admin as well.

Will I unban you? no.

See me in about a month and maybe my attitude about the situation will change. This should give you ample time to re-read the rules.

Xythar lets see. You admit to driving a jeep to the air field. " I just joined the game, hoped in a jeep and tried to get the plane" You also admit That you tried to hinder a teammate from taking off after you didn't get one. I rammed a plane with a jeep my bad You were on teamspeak and you couldn't hear people yelling at you? I think you could. :tard:

I also doubt the fact that you are a " Semi-Regular" because a regular would know better. In other words a Reg. wouldn't have to be told not to be a :tard:

I think that if last night was any indication of your game playing style. Then you should fit in very nicely on the EA servers. The Ban stands have a nice day

When does the ban actually expire? Don't you trhink a month is a bit unrealisitic?

Judging my playing style on one incident is being very short sighted. Go check the chat logs if you have them, I have helped newbies with the server rules, shown respect to the admins, and generally contributed positively.

BTW, I had no idea it was an admin in the plane. It was late and I was tired. I wouldn't be surprised if thats why I didn't really pay attention to what people were saying on TS.

Yeah, I know the rules, and I broke them. I wasn't expected to get unbanned that night anyways, and probably for a week. But a month? Thats going over.

At least I had the balls go out and admit what I did.
