ban appeal

Why are you banned: Gameruin
Why you should be unbanned:

I admit my fault at trolling techies this game for a while. If I could I would avoid this player but he makes new accounts everyday... This is how my "game ruin" started.


(07:44 / Allied) Himom: fucker!

(9:29) I die and we do not kill enemy due to techies intentional action.

(09:14 / Allied) Himom: fuck you
(09:18 / Allied) Himom: that is wat you get for that rune
(09:41 / Allied) Himom: go post ban plz i beg u
(09:48 / Allied) ShortestStraw: !ignore him

So I took a rune, that techies thought was his. I told him to take the other rune, but he was mad. Therefore he then intentionally did not explode mines mid that would have saved my life and killed the enemy. That's at 9:29. The player is good enough to know this therefore it's intentional.

As I know he makes new accounts all the time, I thought that a ban request for him will not work, as he can dodge. Therefore I "punished" him myself by stealing most runes for a few minutes and using his mines to get more exp. This is bad and clearly rule breaking. However, I'd like to appeal for a ban removal or a shorter ban please, as (1) I very rarely break rules and (2) this was a very special situation where Techies was clearly trolling like he always does...

I can promise that I will restrain from "punishing" players this way and instead will report them and hope that they won't dodge. Or even leave game and get a short autoban. I am working on my strategies to "emotionally cope" with trolls like this as I can be quite passionate about our old-school DotA 1.

Also in my defence I'd like to add that we won the game. And my "trolling" or "gameruining" only lasted a few minutes and was aimed at stealing runes from techies and destroying 2 of his landmines to kill neutrals that get me exp. I even teamworked with techies later and saved him a few times and killed together with him.

Please consider all this and unban me, that would be highly appreciated and respected.

You do not decide who should/shouldn't be "punished". Your duty as a citizen of ENT is to play whatever game you desire and follow the rules. These actions here, you were clearly not following the rules nor were you playing casually but using both a courier/your main hero to intentionally take runes and then proceed to sabotage some mines by luring creeps.

If you believe someone is violating our rules either by dodging/ruining whatever the case, report them.

Ban is reduced to 8 hours from now, I don't want to see it again.
