Chambers

@Rauner Please avoid cluttering this appeal

Name: Chambers Suggestion: Removing the particle effect from the flamethrower so people can bloody work / Setting the burn time to 1 Implementation: Remove it from the player view Lore: This is the cure for cancer. Workshop content if applicable: Requires Development @Maxwells (Said it was possible) (If no workshop content, suggest a developer or put "Require Development") If you are asking to add or change a job, fill out the following Add or Change: Change Weapons: Advanced FlameThrower, Flame Thrower, Death Watch Flame Thrower Other: I chatted with Esitt and this is the compromise we came to.

Unfortunately, after speaking with multiple witnesses and the defendant, I have come to the conclusion that this ban is Valid and this appeal has been DENIED

@vExalted The staff disrespect was my bad I was updating about 10 bans at that time so I might have gotten the reasons mixed, From what I can see here you didn't want to listen to the staff that pulled you for the Sit, you also seemed to be flaming everyone in OOC that was disagreeing with you. Looks like battalion disrespect based on forum reactions as well? (Looks like these were the actions of a few members of 41st) I'll be speaking to all parties involved to attempt to understand and resolve this matter.

This report is now under review @Valdor/Keltor @[SR] Sanchez [NA] Please respond with your side of the story and any relevant information.

So I am confused by this suggestion as currently doesn't make any sense. We don't "Assign" game masters to certain timezones, they do event's during the times they are able to get on. The majority of the staff team is around the EST timezone which is why that's when the most events happen. Game Masters are not added or removed just because we don't have a coverage, you have to reach a certain rank in the staff team to become a game master it's not only a choice. Not going to force Game Masters to stay up really late to do events or make them get up early, they do this voluntarily and it will not be changing. If you know people in this timezone that want to be game masters I would encourage you to tell them to apply to staff and work themselves up to game master.

It's not the damage or the burn time which is the problem, the problem is the effects make it impossible for anyone to see anything. (What's the point of changing burn time if they are just going to ignite you again?)

Just become an NA? You just perform your regular duties in the TR Program and get the staff powers too?

-1 Sorry just way to open to abuse

Name: Chambers Suggestion: Remove all flame throwes, seriously they just make everyone lives miserable. Implementation: Just remove them, refund the people that bought them Lore: Saving my eyes and my life from the cancer of flamethrowers. Workshop content if applicable: N/A (If no workshop content, suggest a developer or put "Require Development") If you are asking to add or change a job, fill out the following Add or Change: REMOVE Weapons: Flamethrower, Death Watch Flamer Thrower. It's cool we had them but honestly, it only ruins the experience for everyone except the people that own them. From the GM side, it makes it hard for event jobs to do anything when they can't see. From the players, they can't see anything it's extremely experience breaking, constantly a victim of friendly fire. We had it, it was fun but now its time for it to go.

@Medic Is the one who handles this sort of thing, i'll let him figure it out

-1 GC is a ARC unit if you say ARC aren't helpful you basically calling yourself useless. ARC are the hammer and the scalpel.

As I understand it it's because of the base HL2 code that limits the NPCs the way they are now, Every player is treated as friendly to one faction and hostile to another. Not entirely sure if its possible to code it in a different way through and add on but that's a question for @Zim

Ah so let me clarify. PO = Past Offenses, so if you were banned 3 different times you get a permaban and asked to appeal your ban.

Provides information, gets negative rep, top kek

+1 Yah boys need to not be as easy to kill as a fresh shiny.

+1 For the love of everything holy in this world give me a scope that works!

@TheOneAndOnly 1. "I changed it bc the name Fixx is tarnished " That's because you tarnished it with your actions. 2. Do not put it on us that it's our fault that we didn't notice that you were a different person, you were blacklisted for 6 months in February a lot of the high staff didn't even know you or were not staff, when we noticed we corrected the problem. 3. "the mass kicking was in rage of me getting perma banned" Yeah that's someone we want in the community, someone who instead of messaging a staff member for the reason decides to make all the regular players have the worst time by constantly kicking them from the server (Regular players wouldn't even have affected you ban so you took it out on them?). 4. We never have to speak to someone about their side of the story when we have proof that cannot be questioned no matter what the defendant says. That's what these appeals are for, to prove that you are worth unbanning and the community judges that. 5. The decision was made that we would perm ban you and let the community decide your punishment especially considering your actions in the TS after the ban.

@Forseen This is your department, my guy. @Bobonater3 Anything in your defense?

Medic has confirmed that we banned Simba in the TS as well for minging/abusing his tags. (pretty sure he was mass kicking people)

-1 nah fam

Okay, this is what happened with the Simba/Fix situation. He was permanently blacklisted from staff going by the name Fix, He went minging on Icefuse and was extremely racist. We are then made aware of the promotion request for Simba, we checked the accounts and realized that they were the same person and Simba had changed his name to avoid the blacklist then proceded to make a promotion request with his original account. We banned him and I believe he went on a rampage in the TS with the tags he had ( @Medic Do you remember this?) Believe the final decision was the do the Perma than have him make an appeal and see what the community thought.

I will remind everyone that this is an abuse report, as such these things must be kept orderly. DO NOT ARGUE IN HERE leave the +/-1 and the reason. if someone requests clarification about a reason you provided they may @ you so this information can be clarified to all or taken into PM's All reports are taken seriously even if some do not agree with the reasoning. This is a Founders report so @Joah @Zim must handle it. Please be patient and continue to provide those +/- 1's so that Joah and Zim have community feedback to draw on when making a decision. @Dill If you want to reply in your defense or explain your reasoning I encourage you to do so.

Fuck yeah, We can build shit on the event server again!

-1 nah man

Honestly, I have no idea what you're trying to achieve with these arguments, all you keep saying is people shouldn't have to work to become a Game Master. Being a game a Master is literally one of the hardest jobs on the server, you get publicly critiqued by the whole server whenever you try to do your job, some people have quit the job after 1 bad event because of the community, Nothing about this is easy and because of this we have to have a very thorough process of checking who can do that job but having them move up the ranks just like anyone else. It's already possible to be a Psuedo Game Master as proven by @CollinTheMarines If you want to be a Game Master show you have the work ethic and drive to reach that goal. We will never be implementing this.
