What exactly I have been banned for?

Your original appeal was noticed and is being looked into.

Thanks TheSponge

NO @Smaggy I DO NEVER teamkill anymore, lesson learned.

I sometimes can be rude, but I work on myself and if I say something I use neutral words, I try to avoid any extremes here.

In this particular case I said just "nub" a few times.

Yes I did reclaim Failer stuff as he was trying to make a SINGU in the middle of our air bases(4k+ cost of units around there) while enemy DEFINITELY had had air superiority - for me it was an implicit but intentional attempt to team kill - I was protecting myself and my team.

From the other side Failer spammed malicious kickvotes against me and teamkilled me with stardust

And yes we lost this game, because I had to fight with Failer and not only enemy :(

I did something to win this game, at least I tried - Failer did nothing except trolling his own team, votekick spam, and TK.

And now @KIngRaptor bans me...

lol [2up]knorke, it's because I think faster than I write and mostly edit my posts to fix some grammatical errors :\

In that specific battle:

1) you reclaimed Failer's factory while he was seemingly having trouble getting into the game. You didn't use your own plop for 4-5 minutes. Next time use and reclaim your OWN plop, not your ally's.

2) you buried Failer's com into the ground and made nanos near it. Nano placement could have been just a coincidence as you did use your own plop next to those nanos. However, you also felt the need to add the label "Failer u re my slave, even ur com belongs to me" above Failer's buried and nanoturret "protected" commander.

This battle was only the tip of the iceberg though. The battle before this one (B312772) you made comments like this:
die air nub die!
label: wtf idoiots
label: attack nubs
label: u usless knob

Pointing fingers and calling people "idiots" will get you muted or in some cases banned. It's toxic behaviour. Using terms like "nub" in an insulting way can also get you muted or banned for a short duration. Admins don't want to do this, but you don't leave us much choice.

Things add up. The battle you linked wasn't the sole reason for the 3 day ban.

1. I can do whatever I find suitable to win the game with afk/lag stuff especially in HUGE games. We aren't going 2 wait for each dropped guy in 10x10 games.
This is what afk widget was introduced for.
So did I.

2. Nano placement was a coincidence and I sure it did not block restore terraform, if it did I would remove it on the 1st request. He did not ask - just started a singu.

About my "insults". I always thought and still think that some degree of verbal abuse should be tolerable. This is online gaming, the same as with sports in real life - people tend to express their own emotions and it's fine IMO when it does NOT go to extreme levels(like insulting parents, saying about mental illness or something like this).
But this is just my opinion anyways.

No Failer,

spamming pointless votekicks, making singu in the middle of ally base while enemy has a clear AIR superiority and TK is bannable offence.

you could simple restore ur com, or if it was not possible ask me to remove caretaker.

Your fac got eaten because u were not ingame I found it a better use case than idling.

Get rekt, Failer.

quote: I got banned for 3 days becasue I had TRIED to make a singu, and firenub got banned for 3 days becasue he had reclaimed my fac, dug my com into the water and reclaimed my singus?

You were banned for building a singu right in front or a pack of rapiers and in the middle of sfireman's units, teamkilling and self destructing your units before resigning.

watched replay, tbh you both came out looking like players I'd not choose to play with

Hi Firepluk,
I watched a bunch of games. Trying to learn stuff. Looking for a friendly guild of TA/ZK enthusiasts/friends to have fun with. I know as only a noob/knob/wub/wubber/ new member I don't have anything to say at all ;-) (yes I learned some new words watching your games) So I probably shouldn't...

But it was some surprise to see this thread. I actually thought at one moment that you had some sort of immunity from misbehaving. Maybe being a zk God. Maybe being a zk developer God... Then you cursed them too. So I knew that wasn't the case either.

I've seen you play a lot amazing air and seen you airdrop a lot of scallops. "It's amazing Mike!!" like you handle them with ease and position them just right. Multitasking. Useless lotessus in range ;-). Respect!

But I am actually reluctant to join a game when I watch your "coachin" "guiding" and "teaching" useless nobs and "noobstacked" teams.

After those I was actually amazed to encounter a real friendly "pluk". So Pluk's that do engage in normal conversation with newbees do exist.

I respect your gameplay and skills. I'd respect people even more if they didn't step on their teammates even if they are making mistakes or having their own idea. I guess that's what this game is about: teamFUN and trying not to make too many mistakes supporting the team ;-) Combinations of teammates stuff and combined attacks are win.

on the religious topic
I don't know the ban god at all. But I wonder how it would be without him. Not all new steam members would stay around long I guess after being scared away and being stepped on.

sportive regards,
Leon

firepluk gets banned a lot, just it needs people doing the reporting of misbehavings. ultimately, the problem with bans is that people can circumvent them, by just making new accounts.

many people including myself have also tried talking to firepluk and encourage him to be more newbie friendly and less of a troll, with dubious results. the known trolls seem to posses a great capacity for cognitive dissonance, which clearly shows in threads like this where trolls troll each other and suddenly get major asspain from the exact kind of behaviour they so freely bestow upon others.

in the end, what is needed is that people learn how to behave like decent people would, and stop doing things to others that they themselves would not enjoy beeing done to them. beeing constantly banned along the way may or may not be helpful.
