Admin abuse in the CSS pub

**White Lobster** · 03-01-11, 04:39 PM

Today I was playing on the main pub for about an hour and doing mediocre (about 1.0 kd). Those of you who know me know that I like to communicate with the team and work as a team. We went to lost temple pro and were failing on our strats on T side so started calling "slow-plays" and awping to bring our 0 wins up. Indaface started crying about the awp so there was a vote which the teams voted to not restrict. When this happened I was dead after awping and Indaface and I had a little name calling session while we were dead. I thought it was lighthearted but I guess he was mad. A couple rounds go by and I pick up an AWP from a CT since I couldn't afford one. Next round I'm still alive with the same gun helping my teammates in water on a slow play making calls and we were working together to hold water. It was me and another guy left in water taking fire and the other 5 teammates were in b tunnels above us telling us to shoot the guys in bridge. Then I got slayed after killing Indaface with my awp and the admin said "Push with your team." I don't know if Indaface is an admin or even if it was him who slayed me but I'm assuming that it was him. The bottom line is I got slayed while doing nothing wrong simply because I had just killed 5 people with the awp. If this is what I have to expect from TPG admins in-game then you will not see me playing here anymore.

and now I'm banned. I guess I should go post over there too

Lobster, I was the admin who slayed you.
After observing your team rushing without you, and having you sitting water AWPing, I decided to slay you.
The whole lot of your team was in the B bombsite with you and R3V sitting in middle.
You were not slayed because and admin was getting mad at you, just simply trying to give you a warning to make an effort to push with your team.
After slayed you wrote, and I quote.

DEAD* \/\/hiteLobster [ΣΝ] #Pnbtc : THERE WAS NOT A CALL FUCKASS
*DEAD* \/\/hiteLobster [ΣΝ] #Pnbtc : OMG

Without that statement, I'm sure you could have just waited the 1.5 minutes and played the next round with more than enough money to buy another AWP.
But, since you made that statement, you have earned yourself a ban for admin disrespect.
If you would like to, please go make a post in the banned forums and I will have it addressed ASAP.
Thank you,
Have a nice day!

Sid thanks for the response but I still feel like I was slayed for no reason. We started with 5 in water and were taking enemy fire the whole time we were there until you slayed me. There was NO call that the bomb was pushing B so we just assumed that we were still taking it slow.

**SiDRoC** · 03-01-11, 05:05 PM

Well, at the time of slay I'm sure that there was some talk of your team grouping up and pushing into the B bomb site.
Also, on your radar I'm sure that there was notion of a rush about to happen.
Yet, you stayed behind the boxes in water with, what looked to me, no intention of moving up to spiral, or back to B tuns.
Now, I can assure you this slay wasn't out of the blue.
It was after 3-4 rounds of watching you sit water while your team rushed certain places.
I did what I felt I had to do, and I meant no harm by it.
Just a simple slap on the wrist, and a nudge in the right direction.

I didn't need a nudge...Ask anyone on my team at the time if I was at all not helping the team. Better yet ask them if I asked if it was ok to awp water. The caller said I could do it. Bottom line is you have no idea what was going on terrorist side. I still think I got slayed because I awped half your team, and I'm still upset about it. By your logic you could have slayed the other guys on my team who were pushing and not calling for not staying with the teammates who were following the "slow-play" call.

I think there was an admin on the Terrorist side too... kinda weird for an admin on CT to slay a person

I was pinned by CT's on 3 sides and was shooting to stay alive how am I supposed to know that my teammates are about to push B when I'm under fire and they aren't talking. Even If I knew they were pushing how could I have moved from my spot when there were 4 CTs in their side of bridge. Should I just let them through to my guys camping tunnels?

Every round that I "sat" in water was a "slow play" round. One of those times I remember that the bomber pushed in and planted B by himself so we all rushed over to the site to protect. This is how it went; Slow Play, bomb and top 3 rush through tuns to bridge down to water back to lower a and then met up with the team, slow play, slow play(when I got slayed). Every one of those round I did get a kill from water to spiral but on the rush I just picked the sniper and moved with the bomb.

The other admin in the server, who was on your team by the way, and I were talking about you sitting mid for multiple rounds.
If you're still thinking that you got slayed for killing "half of my team", then you are obviously not getting the point.
This was not a personal attack against you, just a simple warning, yet you blew it way out of proportion.
