!approve

NEEGGARO is banned for 16 days, 7 days for refusal to play, 7 days for refusal to defend (prior to stop playing all 3 raxes were still around), and 2 days for item destruction (before game ended so not going to ban for longer)

Any comments pm me


Why you should be unbanned: It was clear that we were being slaughtered, I continuously typed !ff to forfeit, It was obvious that we CANNOT defend and will just continuously get killed, so in order to protect my K/D and for the game to end faster, I just simply stayed in fountain, it was not "refusal to play" or "refusal to defend" but simply accepting defeat. The Item destruction was justifiable simply by me wanting to make a force staff and was unable to. This is clearly an unfair ban. Many players have done this and not just me.

@I3omb wait for the bomb's response.

If you felt said game was over, leave it instead of staying in the back as your team still struggled to defend raxes and play. Standing behind fountain doing nothing means your game ruining. You guys had lost zero raxes when you decide that the game was over in your own terms. Had 2/3 raxes been taken and then you decide to stop playing because at that point it is beyond a doubt the game is over then I would have not enforced my ban, but all raxes were in play when you stop playing. Many players hiding behind fountain refusing to play/defend have been banned by me as well, so that is not a justification for you to do what you did.

If i would have left, it would have also resulted to a ban. Simply staying behind the fountain is a legitimate strategy to just not die period and not "game ruining". It was clear in the game that i simply could not do anything. if i had continued to play and just fed, then it would also be "game ruining?". its a lose / lose situation and i simply just stayed behind and not feed the other players. I did not refuse to play at all, i simply just chose not to die. That judgement is just pure unfair, on top of that getting banned for 16 days? 7 days for refusal to play and 7 days for refusal to defend (which is pretty much the same thing if you ask me)? Im simply explaining my actions and this was not intentional refusal.

The leaving ban vs the refusal to play/defend any raxes is far less in duration as far as I see it. I will only reduce said ban to half since this is your first time breaking any of Ent rules. You have served 3 days so far, 5 days remain.

Simply staying behind the fountain is a legitimate strategy to just not die period and not "game ruining".

This is the full list of general rules we have, make sure to read the one I highlight in red because if this happens again I will not reduce my ban at all.

Spoiler!

General Rules
Do not spam during games.
Do not flame. Don't rage or insult other players excessively.
Do not leave before the game has certainly ended, especially if no other players have left.
Do not delay a game from starting by joining/leaving multiple times or otherwise.
Do not lie about modes. If you intend to choose a non-default mode, announce it in lobby or vote ingame/in the lobby.
Do not deceive players about rules in an attempt to get them banned.
Do not teamkill (for example, by blocking, using spells, or destroying/hiding/stealing items).
Do not feed on purpose which negatively affects the game.
Do not save or pause the game while playing in order to distract players and hinder gameplay.
Do not suicide on purpose.
If teammates shared control, do not abuse it.
Do not leak information to your enemies/opponents (ghosting).
Do not go away from keyboard for an excessive amount of time (afking), especially without telling other players beforehand. Neither are you allowed to grief by resetting the afk timer.
Do not refuse to play the game in an attempt to ruin it (grieving).
Do not ruin the game on purpose. For example, by selling towers, buying mass couriers or selling towers.
Any form of votekick abuse.
Do not impersonate any Enterprise Gaming authority (be it a staff members or bot).
Do not purposely glitch or exploit the game.
The use of any utility that hides your real IP (proxies/vpns, etc.).
The use of any utility that gives you an unfair advantage over other players will result in a permanent ban.
Do not multibox. Using two computers/two accounts to be in one (and the same) game as one human being only is not allowed.
Do not dodge your bans. Dodging is defined as playing on a different account while being banned on the so called 'main' account. Often caused by a (purposely triggered) change of the IP. Dodging is considered a major offensive equal to maphacking and is being treated as such.
