Unban Request

[Tom Age Banned 0]

Evening folks, tonight I was unfortunately banned for possible hacking from Lotusclan's Paylod stocks TF2 server. At first I was told from Headshot Brent that I was banned for faggotry. This not being the case my good friend DanceMonkleyy spoke to Proloser. From what ProLoser explained I was consistantly "180 spy cheat and selectable cheats" hacking. By watching the demos that Proloser has uploaded you may notice that I turn around frequently when there is a spy but there is a simple explanation for it, Dancemonkeyy and I are constantly chatting over skype. With him being a seasoned veteran of TF2 he is able to spot a spy alot better then I therefore I know when and where to turn around. A second explanation that may only apply to Headshot Brent, DanceMonkeyy again noticed that Brent only uses the dead ringer and for the rounds that he played would only disguise as an engineer, observations that he made clear to me.

So I hope that this has shined some light upon my possible "hacking" and this has all just been a big misunderstanding. DanceMonkeyy and I only play on the Paylod stocks so it would be a shame to not play there anymore.

Anyways here my Steam ID, you'll notice that it is a low digit thus adding more proof that I do not hack, because if I was it would be alot higuer.

Thanks for your submission.

I was the one who banned you and your case is currently under review by both the lotus staff and other admins.

That's a first!! Skype??!! Really?? LOL!! I have heard many things like my little brother etc. I need to be on skype being I am a seasoned player. It will help my game!

Playing for a long time does not make you good so that point is invalid. I played Runescape for over seven years and I only reached level 91 with no 99s when people were able to max out their character in a year.

How so? I genuinely don't understand that

I have to say I have seen many a game where Headshot keeps using the same disguise. Never really mentioned it till now, I liked it that way cos it meant I got to kill him more often. Just thought I'd say it to back up part of your argument.

Also wrt Skype, I quite often have a Skype call open when some of my friends are on the same server, you're not the only one who does that! Though I've never been banned for it.

This is unnecessary, lots of people talk on skype/mumble/ventrilo etc. It does indeed help when another party is helping you spot the enemy.

Yeah, I'm with Quail on TS and he's always screaming SPY! Spy! spyspyspys!

Still doesn't add to your skill. It just gives you an unfair advantage over other players.

TIL Teamwork and communication gives an unfair advantage.

Evenin guys, thank you all for the hasty replies, just thought I'd reply to a couple of your comments.

@DeathStrike Yes Dancemonkeyy and I play while talking over Skype. We're very good friends irl and have been gaming together for a long time making the switch from Vent to Mumble to TeamSpeak and finally to Skype. Whether it be TF2, CSS, WoW and soon to be D3 we have always talked with a voice-over-internet service. If you often game with several of your friends I would suggest giving it a try as it does make games alot more enjoyable. As per you comment about "be on skype being I am a seasoned player. It will help my game!", I never stated that being on Skype made me a better player, all it does is help with communication as it removes the 3 second delay compared to when using the ingame voice chat. You should aslo know that when playing competitive all teams use their own voice-over-internet service. I also don't appreciate your tone, respect goes a long way my friend.

@Willerms "Playing for a long time does not make you good so that point is invalid." I strongly dissagree with this, you may not have improved over time but with the right coaching anyone can become a better player. They've even included the coaching function in TF2, if you feel your skills are not up to par with everyone I would suggest maybe looking into it. Your Runescape argument is a Strawman so I will not comment. For you last comment plz refer to the reply I made to DeathStrike in regards to Skype and for the "It just gives you an unfair advantage over other players." comment above I don't understand what you mean, what advantage do I get using Skype over in game voic chat other than the 3 second delay?

Thanks again for everyones comments, this really shows that you guys care about your fellow community TF2 players

Everyone has had a chance to have their say, can we leave this topic alone now until a final decision has been made?

Thanks.

[Wampa Stompa 40]

Were you guys on opposite teams when you were skyping (not that it probably matters, I'm j/w)?

edit: sorry TPL, didn't see that last post until now and I probably shouldn't be posting here anyway

Hey Krauter, no DanceMonkeyy was medicing for me at the time.

Can we get this ban lifted plz, I clearly don't hack and I miss the server :_(

[Nano 7,892]

My apologies for the delay on this.

After due consideration it has been decided that the ban will not be lifted.
