Approved Alex4921's Appeal

Alex4921 · Apr 24, 2021

Your In Game Nickname:

Todden.Puffer
Your Steam ID:

STEAM_0:0:20944172
Which Server:

West
Why you should be unbanned:

A discomb was the cause and honestly i didnt mean to throw it,bumped the mouse while grabbing my drink.....i mightve put something stupid in the appeal reason(IIRC it was "I AM NOT A CROOK" lol) as the atmosphere was pretty lively at the time and i didnt expect it to be such a serious offence even if it was intentional

Also worst case scenario,i dont think two people counts as mass RDM tbh like maybe im wrong but to me personally mass RDM would be multiple people over a sustained assault.
Evidence of Innocence:

TBH im not really saying im innocent but rather the punishment doesnt fit the crime

I'm actually home a lot earlier than expected, so I'll go ahead and cover what lead up to your ban right now.

Alright, so the first reports that came in on you were from Night and sgm editor in chief. These were the discombobulator kills. The death scene and their following reports can be seen below:

As seen in the video, you drop the discombob that kills both Night and sgm editor in chief. The video shows you immediately throwing it down and not holding it or anything, so your alibi about grabbing your drink seems pretty reasonable to me. Part of the reason you were held responsible for these kills was because of your response to these reports. Had you said it was an accident, your reporters might have forgiven you. There's nothing wrong with joking around in a report, but please make sure you include proper reasoning!

You were then reported by Night twice for damage on two players, Paragon (14dmg) and IdenticalGamer (25dmg). Since the amounts were both over 10hp, I had no discretion to deny the reports, and as such, I had to follow them through:

You claim they were both a misclick, which they very possibly could have been, and while misclicks may be genuine mistakes, they are still considered RDM on our servers unless they were in crossfire. As you can see in the logs provided below, there was no death scene around the damage at 12sec that I could reference, and the map was changing while I was handling these reports, so I was unable to reference the death scene at 11sec:

It was at this point that I banned you for Mass RDM (4 RDMs). Now, considering the fact that your last RDM-related ban on our servers was over four years ago and that you seem quite genuine in your explanation, I am willing to unban you. I will not, however, be voiding this ban. This means that your next Mass RDM ban will be your second offense and will be two weeks long. Please be careful with your discombobulators, and enjoy your time on SGM!

Appeal: Accepted
Ban: Not Voided
