I previously requested a ban on these two players here, and Potash did the same here.

Phil was abusive with his donor ban/kick power by votekicking/votebanning people who killed him or called him names. They were also spending approximately 99% of their ingame time idling in spawn and being trollish.

They were supposedly warned and agreed to improve their behavior. For a few days, it seemed like they did. They were still saying stupid things, and occasionally initiated a votekick against me and Potash because they have a long history of not liking us, but the votes didn't succeed and they were at least battling. Until today. They are back to their old bad habits.

Today on this server the battles were mostly full and pretty close, as normal. Then the two strutting idiots joined. In their first round, their teammates attempted to votekick them for being disruptive. I noticed they both had zero points after an entire round. Then they attempted a voteban on Muriate of Potash for "hacking" while complaining that he uses his gunslinger too much.

Linked here is a zip file containing three files.

*One is a screen shot of StruttingPhil attempting to voteban Potash for "hacking" before he complained about Potash apparently owning too much with his gunslinger. The other two are demos.

*The first demo is a short few seconds of the end of a battle when over half their team left the server because of them, and my team (red) started spawn camping them. They never left their spawn and you can see they just say idiotic things.

*The second demo is me spectating these two while they idled in spawn for an entire 3-minute round. During all their disruptions, most of their team left the server. After the auto-balance, we were down to probably 6 vs 6, with more people leaving the server the longer they stayed. This demo also shows me typing status in the console, so their steam ID's can be confirmed if necessary.

Another of his buddies, I believe his name is [strut Sec]Bruceastr, or something to that effect, engages in most of the same behavior, but he doesn't seem to log on as often as phil and diglett. If they've been warned about their behavior and agreed to improve it, they have broken that agreement now. I'd be happy with a permanent IP ban, but I'm an extremist. I think at the very least a reasonable person could agree that at least a temporary ban from lotus servers would be appropriate.

And again, same server, approximately 10:48pm EST. Demo linked here.

And again, same server, May 26th, approx 1:25pm EST. Demo linked here.

Diglett was actually battling in this one, but not Phil.

I'll take a look at the demos tonight. If they show the same behavior as previous requests, they'll get a suspension, per Gotcha's last message (http://forums.gaming...strutting-phil/).

EDIT: I have reviewed the demos.

[strut Sec] StruttingPhil is banned for 1 week.

As there was less in the demo, [strut Sec] Pacifist Diglet has been given 3 days.

If they return and start doing this again, please take a demo again and let us know.

I trust Cactus' judgement, and you have been warned before. Make an unban request.

Might have believed that same story the first 2 times... I also agree with Cactus's judgement on this. On top of that I've talked to you directly before on this same issue. You aren't fooling anyone.

First off, Diglett has nothing to do with this, I don't know why every time you try and start a shitstrom you drag him into this because he has nothing to do with it, maybe because every time he comes onto the server he dominates 4-6 players, and you are an unfortunate victim of him, I don't really know, but leave him out of the picture, he has done nothing wrong.

It is unclear why I have been banned. I have not abused any functions on the harvest server besides the civilian glitch, which i have implemented into serial. Don't understand? Too bad. Besides this, most of the admins of LotusClan do not care about anyone doing civilian, if anything its bad for you're self because you can't attack, therefore you cannot do much whilst playing the game.

It is strange that whenever I come onto the harvest server and try to start a vote scramble because you and you're friend Potatsh or watevar, will try to do a vote ban on me because you don't want the game to have any purpose but doing whatever you want it to do, simply said, abuse pyro and have other people do gunslinger engine, therefore locking the other team into an endless spawn camp situation. I don't understand why I should be banned for trying to combat this. I guess people just enjoy being locked in there spawn for a half-hour to an hour until you leave the server, then comeback within only hours.

In all seriousness, what the fuck is you're problem?

Let's be clear: SpagSauce made the request, I banned you. If you have an issue with the ban, you can address it to me.

One of the demos showed you and Diglet sitting in spawn for an entire round, not playing, just "going civilian" and taking up space. You also held the spawn door open so that the other team could fire in and kill people in spawn. This is disruptive gameplay.

If you would like the ban extended, please, keep trolling this thread.
