Realm/Gateway: Northrend/Europe
Why are you banned: General Rules, Any form of votekick and !ff abuse.
Why you should be unbanned:
Hello! Here's the thing. I'm actually not aware of where it was that I went wrong. I'm not one to start votekicks on people simply because of them leaking due to being inexperienced with the game (or experienced but having a bad game). There's always the opportunity to go Mercenary mode to at least sort of even it out. I actually don't mind loosing if it means that the general happiness of everybody playing is going to be higher, which in my mind is a balanced game. I have several times encouraged people on the enemy team who desire to votekick someone who's new to help them instead, but of course, if the new player doesn't try to listen at all and keeps leaking to the point of where it's guaranteed that we will win the next big send and it's not even fun anymore, I will type !Yes.
I have also tried to help new players on my team (despite me not really being that good anyways haha), but I can't say that I go out of my way of making sure that everyone is fine since I have my own rolls to deal with, but if they ask I will definitely try my best to help, the best way to win is having a full working team. Sadly it most of the time just ends up with them leaving since I've usually noticed too late and they believe that leaking 50+ on round 1, 2, or 3 is completely unrecoverable.
I'm not sure about how your banning system works when it comes to delay from when the action was done to when the punishment gets applied. But there is one game that I can think of. Now my memory's not perfect, but try to bear with me. To start off with I'm fairly sure that I was pretty tired during the game. The enemy leaks pretty big the first and the second round, which I am fairly certain was from a single player (I think I was fiddling with my vape during the downtime, so I may not have seen more than just the number). The enemy starts a !Votekick on a player, I assume that they did say something like "He's not listening to us" although I could definitely be wrong. After a few seconds there's only 1 remaining !Yes vote left and I wait a little bit but no one is objecting to the vote in All Chat so I decide it would be better playing a game where we don't have the certainty of that 1/3 of our sends are going straight through. The leaking player gets kicked and if I recall correctly we had a pretty decent game.
After my ban because of the black name that I had (which to be honest was still visible) I did read the rules and when I saw that I was banned yesterday I reread them again, the general ones as well as the Hellhalt specific ones. Half of the sentence has already went by (I think, at least), and I can say that I've definitely learnt my lesson, which sounds corny as hell since you have no confirmation of it other than a few paragraphs of text. From now on I will be more vigilant when it comes to votekicks and make sure that only the people who deserve it, get it. I would really like to play a few games after I've gone to the gym and ate and all of that, would a pardon be possible?
