Thread: That Handsome Devil

I have gone through the names That Handsome Devil, Candide, Skeletor, and Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa in my time at TPG.

Hello, I will be going through each of the steps provided in the "read this first" post one at a time. First off, I hope you enter this discussion with an open mind and I thank you for doing so.

1. To put it simply, I was banned for being disrespectful to an admin. We were playing a round of Piranesi in which the CT's started 9-0 and eventually lost 15 in a row. At the end of the final round, in admin chat, someone (I say someone because admins are anonymous) said, "15-0". In a blind kind of anger that comes after 15 straight losses, I responded with "%#$^ you admin." By the next map I was banned.

2. I was playing on the TPG awp server on CS:S. My steam id is STEAM_0:1:13494095. As far as players on the server go, I'm not really sure how I would look that up on the stats menu. If you can explain to me how, I will gladly assist in any way I can.

3. I think I should be unbanned for two important reasons. The first reason is my history on the server. I have played over a month total time between the servers and have assumed somewhat of a leadership position. I am not afraid to call teammates out in an effort to better my team. I have called strategies many times on terrorist and am always active on the mic CT when calling bombsites. I have also never had a problem with admins in the time I have played in the server(s). I have always- and still- have the utmost respect for the admins decisions and authority.

I also believe that the circumstances for the banning is special because my comment was not in direct rebellion against the admin. I was simply talking trash back like I would against any regular player. Looking back on it, my word choice wasn't exactly ideal or mature. As they say, hind-sight is 20-20.

4. I think my history in the server speaks for itself here. In the two or so years I have played here, this is the only incident I've had with an admin. I assure you I will refrain from such stupid, immature comments in the future.

I hope to see you again in the server soon.

Handsome,

You were indeed banned for saying "fuck you admin" at the end of the round. Another admin posted the 15-0 comment, but I believe it was mistakenly put in all chat instead of admin chat. I will get your vote started, and your results will be posted here in no more than three days.

With approval of the high admins I am lifting your ban tonight. Let me know if you have any problem connecting to the server.

Thank you, and again I apologize for the stupid comment.

kwassa, i was the admin that mistakenly put 0-15 in all chat. suffice to say we constantly monitor teams scores and balance, despite what you may be led to beileve. this was part of those observations and not meant for you. my apologies to all.
