Unban me please...

Wed Feb 04, 2004 8:48 pm

I was waiting for a plane on Bocage and was frustrated everyone was jumping in a plane that I was waiting for. Then, When an admin did it I wanted to strangle him. But I didn't, cause I can't. I didn't even unload my gun into his plane, I simply put one shot in to his wing. So he'd note my distaste for him. I guess admins don't adhere to a higher standard. My bad.

So he kicked me. Thats fine, I rejoined and had no plans of getting my "revenge" on the "admin". Waiting for a plane again and the same admin takes my plane. I had been warned by the "kick" and didn't even shoot the plane. I shot in the air instead. Straight up nowhere near the plane. Didn't even hit it. Nor any of my allies. For that I was kicked again. I guess admins can not only kick you for releasing a shot of frustration into their tail (reasonable) but also innocent clouds. Fair enough. I wasn't gonna do it again.

When I came back in a third time after being kicked. the airfield was under attack and I fired at the enemy plane. Unfortunately the plane that the enemy plane blew was carrying the very same admin (I don't really know his name, I wasn't concerned with messing with him so I never noted his name). Anyways I guess in frustration from his lack of "success" he was having on the map he banned me. I'm sorry if I hurt his ego, I had no intention. But I really wasn't holding anything against him, it was the frustration of the situation at first. Which behaviour I altered after the first kick. And then even the second one. I came back from the second one not even wanting a plane anymore. Yet I was banned for no apparent reason. I even shot at the plane who was killing him.

So unban me please? I'm not a team killer, or a cheater and I follow the rules. I'm sorry I pumped one shot into his plane to begin with. I should have just switched sides and beaten him senseless with my pure unadulterated skills. :D

Usually, when people request ban removal, they note they don't plan on doing what they did again.

You show no remorse for what you did. Whats stopping you from coming and doing it again?

Check out All Seeing Eye, sort by name, and look for the "EA" servers. There, you can 'pump one shot' into as many friendly planes as you want. We don't accept that type of behavior here.

But I don't show remorse because although I realize my actions were wrong, they weren't effectively disruptive (one shot into his tail) and I altered my behaviour even after the first one. No one was even wounded in my actions. I apologized for my behaviour by altering it and not shooting his plane. All I can do is be reasonable and ask, in return that you be reasonable (i'm not saying you haven't been). I don't team kill and I follow the rules as I stated before. I have no intentions of doing it again. I didn't even do it again after the first kick. You can either take my word for it, and if it happens again, I'm sure there are a lot of admins on the server who will ban me. But it won't happen again. That I promise you.

Of course you're going to say that after I post. Who wouldn't? Regardless, I think you need a break from our server.

Its not the fact that you shot the plane. Just because you camp a plane doesn't mean that you automatically get dibs! We have very strict plane camping rules, as obviousally, nothing gets accomplished when your sitting on the runway with all planes up on any given map. In fact, its against the rules to camp for a plane unless there is a plane about to spawn. And even then, the person shot down is allowed to camp for it. If he doesn't get it, too bad, move out.

Just because you didn't do any damage, at the same time, you didn't do anything to help your team. Just because you don't TK doesn't make you a good teamplayer.

Wed Feb 04, 2004 9:21 pm

Fair enough. I just wanted to clearify that I was not camping. I was watching the map for planes and had seen that there was only one flying around out of a possible three. I wasn't banned for camping this I know and as stated before I wasn't even going to the planes when the ban was implemented.

However, you feel I need a break. I disagree. You have the power, I don't. I enjoy your server because of the team work which seems to be displayed on it. I'm sorry that in my frustration I took one shot at a plane.

"Of course you're going to say that after I post. Who wouldn't?"
I'm not trying to pull your leg. I'm just trying to be reasonable. I'm sorry you feel I'm trying to sucker you. When all I have been doing is trying to be reasonable (again I'm not saying that you aren't". Maybe from dealing with so many of these you are somewhat skeptical. But my statement still stands; I will not do it again.

Please, if you have nothing to contribute, dont.

I do not have the power to ban, or unban. Its up to the admins. We shall see what they think.

Thank you.

I've learned alot around here that it is pretty much "first come, first serve." There's no real other way to do it. Sometimes I'll try and be courteous and let those who were there first grab it, but if I was just in an aircraft and I had been in a big dogfight with someone and I got him down to low health and he got the best of me, I'll be damn sure that I want to grab a plane again and get back up there to finish him off. There's alot of things on this server that you just have to learn to deal with. If you can't grab a plane at a particular time, leave the airfield and go do something else. Then check back there everytime you die.

I was the one who banned you.

First off, the map starts, I get a plane, get a few kills, get shot down and come back... notice you standing at the airfield... got another plane, got shot down after a while, respawned, noticed you standing there again in the same place... after I saw you four times, I kicked you for plane camping.

When you came back, there you were again, standing at the plane spawn. I get another plane, that you apparently wanted, and I notice that my plane is all of a sudden at 2/3rds health, look in rear view, you are the only one standing there.

Since I am flying, I asked another admin to ban you for damaging vehicles, but he hit the wrong button and only kicked you. When you came back I executed the ban I meant to do earlier.

Plane camping will earn you a kick. Damaging vehicles will earn you a kick or ban. Both right after the other will be a ban.

Come back and ask again in 1 month and I'll consider lifting your ban.

Fair say. Thats your side. But both times I was waiting cause there were planes to be spawned. And people were jumping in those spawned planes before I could get in, you were one of them. Now I know theres no line. You must also understand that even so, it is frustrating. At all the times I was waiting there, there was only one plane in the air. Meaning planes were gonna spawn. Which is allowed in the rules.

I was kicked twice then banned. The first time you waited till you were done flying to kick me yourself. And I did not damage your plane that much. I only put one shot into it. My bad it was just frustration.

A month hardly sounds reasonable for the event that occured. However I'm not going to beg, nor come back in a month from now when you've decided I've "been punished enough".

Thanks for the few good days I had on your server. I'm sorry that I was so intolerable for a few short seconds. And thanks for being so understanding, reasonable and taking an apology with such grace.

More power to you.

Yeah, I usually do too. It was early game just after everyone got dropped so I figured it'd be easy to get in a plane. And while I was waiting there was always a plane to be spawned. It just got to me after the third one was taken from right in front me, by an admin no less. I let frustration get the better of me, not to much though I only put one shot in the plane as it was taking off. The whole kick kick and ban thing happened within minutes. And I hadn't been camping for a plane. The first time after being kicked I went to the airfield right away with that minute i was kicked and I saw there was still two planes plus a bomber to be spawned. Wrist got in the plane so I waited for the second one to spawn. And then was kicked again. After that time I spawned there was a plane attacking he runway so I shot at it and was banned. All this happened with minutes. It was hardly camping. I would of appreciated a warning as to what I was doing wrong. The only thing I did out of line was take one pot shot at a plane.

anyways cheers mate. Thanks for expressing your opinion.

Perhaps you think the punishment harsh, but I consider the crime harsh, and you show little to no remorse for your actions in your "apology".

If you do not wish to play here after your time is up, that is your choice, of course. Happy gaming.

Thu Feb 05, 2004 9:17 pm

Its called perspective. I did not commit a crime, and even as a rule breaker I hardly broke it. I would show remorse had I been in a real war and I shot your plane. However this is not the case. I did not vehicle camp. I was aware of the planes that were gonna be respawned. I did not unload my clip. I took one pot shot at it. It was inconsequestial but wrong either way, none the less i did it. I then came back to the game not doing that. Nor seeking revenge. Nor camping. In fact you took the plane I was waiting to respawn again. So I was not camping, two planes were gonna respawn. The situation needed no more governing. Your act of banning was unreasonable and uncalled for.

I not only rectified my behaviour after the first kick. But I also tried to be reasonable in here. Which you obviously don't respect. Instead you'd like some 12 year old kid begging at your feet.

I'm sorry I'm not here crying with remorse to you for shooting one imaginary round into a graphically created plane. I think you need a little perspective in life. Or maybe I'm "paying the price" for your lifes quest of holding power over people. I'm no longer asking to be unbanned I hope you realize that. I'm sure you play as the Germans all the time. Fascism suits you. The real world might leave you powerless. But you are a tough guy here, eh?

Thu Feb 05, 2004 10:49 pm

I think it is you who lack perspective. First of all, it sounds like you were waiting for a plane at least four times. Even if you knew one was about to spawn, I don't want to play with someone who only waits for planes. Secondly, shooting a plane just one time is still one of the most retarded things you could do. Boo-hoo, you don't get a plane. I think Rule even had admin in his name and you still do it. This is all you have to say, "I'm sorry for shooting my teammates plane and I'm sorry for coming on the forums and being a dick." Then you'll still probably have to wait a little bit, but its worth it.
