I understand all the posts here have been made in a desire to see some logic and fairness applied in the matter - and im looking for the same thing too. I appreciate seeing that we still have people in this game who understand how ridiculous this is and how things are being handled poorly.
The fact that any amount of ban time was applied and considered is still off-putting and completely wrong. At no point was I trying to do something malicious here and when I tried to log in Sunday night I was genuinely in shock that I was banned. The game code bugged in a way that ive never seen before and I had no idea what was going on, period. I wish I had a better explanation but I don't. I can't believe that this whole thing has gone this far.
From what ive gathered not a single person other than Caerbannog can claim they saw me attach (out of an arena of 50) to repel or whatever. Legacy even chimed in and said he didn't see what happened but still wants to see me get banned too. His reasons are quite clouded because the only comments he would give revolved around him getting banned for something, him thinking i suck and that we got a fluke win. Sound logic.
So as it stands:
1.) The bot and game client did me a disservice and screwed up. After the double-kill my ship read 0 energy and i was floating in open space in the same spot. Thinking by divine intervention I survived I subsequently repelled the 3-4 bullets that surrounded me and tried to move....then I was spec'd by the bot. I've never experienced this before, it's news to me.
2.) As seen on the video my teammates were all grouped together off my screen. I did not attach to any of them and for me it's physically impossible to do something that quickly. The thought had not even crossed my mind.
3.) Nobody in the arena saw me attach. (because I didn't)
4.) Caerbannog says he saw me attach (1 guy out of 50)
So given these circumstances that were completely out of my control not only am I considered for a ban but was in fact banned for 90 days. I was not questioned about it, informed about it or even aware it was happening. This makes the whole thing so shady. Whether I am banned for this weekend's matches or 90 days it still produces the same outcome. Caerbannog's team (Outlaws) gets to remove me from contention for games 2 and 3 of the semi-finals.
If im still banned for 90 days, i will surely quit the game for good. If I am banned for this weekend's matches, I will surely quit the game for good. After 17 years of playing this game I have never been banned. Basically because im not stupid enough to break the rules, especially in a semi-finals match. Now, despite the dilapidated state of league a completely conjured up reason has been put forth by a sysop who hates me and my squad and his team is currently down 1 game in the semi-finals. Awesome.
I don't know what else to say. I guess this can be considered the lowest point of this league if the ban isn't removed. When questioned about the events Caerbannog claims that it doesn't matter if I attached or if the bot bugged - that I still deserve to be banned. Anyway, thanks for the support everyone. This will be my last post on the matter - and if im not unbanned it was nice knowing you all.
