Thread: Huh?

SourceBans

No idea, no warnings and neither do any of my friends in your clan.

Reason please? and yes I do follow calls...

Many of you know the Brit and we joke... but come on... no warnings!

First of all, TPG is not a clan. We are a community of like-minded individuals who appreciate teamplay.
Second, no, you do not follow calls. You were banned for not following the call on multiple occasions.
Third, nothing against the British.
Fourth, you were warned and you responded to the warning in chat.

You were warned after you went mid on inferno, while the call was to go alt-mid. You replied that you "didn't have a decent gun so was 'selling the fake.'" This would be all well and good if it was part of the call, or if you had spoken up and asked the person making calls if that was okay.

Just a couple rounds later you again went mid, while the call was alt-mid. Thus you were banned. While I was issuing the ban, I witnessed you blatantly team flash into B on a banana rush. Half of the team had already pushed out into the site while you sheepishly worked your way around to the car and then flashed in, blinding your team. You really need to work on playing for and with the team if you want to continue to play here.

Lastly, this is a low-effort post and you have not satisfied the requirements as specified in the sticky thread. I'll proceed with a vote once you respond and sort it out.

I'll follow the rules and calls as best I can in future :)

Now for the excuses and sorry for the long read, but I feel I need to explain why I was banned on de_inferno.

Firstly, I do try to follow calls. What you must appreciate is I'm British and some of your accents are hard for me to follow exactly.
Secondly, us Brits have different names for map locations than you do:
eg on Inferno
'Alt Mid' we call '2nd Mid' or 'Right Road'.
'Construction' we call 'ruins'
'spindles' we call 'coils'
etc etc Although I do try to modify what I say when I know your names for places.

Please note the difference in 'Alt mid'. To my ears I hear 'ALL mid'. Hence why I tend to push mid on that call rather than 'Alt Mid'. I did it multiple times on that map so apologies.

Don't think accents affect things? then watch this classic CSS movie - ask yourself: do you understand? It's also excellent fun :)

I will try to adjust my ears in future :) Most maps aren't a problem as the banning admin saw on the previous Dust2 map when he was calling.
I will follow the calls in future to the best of my ability.

I would NEVER deliberately team flash and resent that accusation in the strongest terms! The demo of the entire map is linked at the end of this post.

1. Tick 50,000 for the nana rush. I get blocked at spawn then again while players dodge nades up nana. No sheepish push - check the rest of the demo to see how often I use spawns to our advantage being the first into sites.
2. There is NO ONE in site when I flash.
3. The flash should go over the building to blind anyone at Truck in CT spawn, Ruins (Construction in USA terms) and CT rotators from spawn. Team mates pushing into B site will NOT get blind by that flash. Any decent team uses that flash to prevent team mates being shot in the back as they clear the site.
4. I got blocked and nudged by a team mate retreating while throwing the flash so the flash landed by sandbags instead of where intended. Watch the demo slowed down and you'll see.
5. I immediately apologized by voice as is common courtesy. Unfortunately demos do not record your own voice only other's... weird bug.
6. I pushed as soon as I was unblind to help the team.
7. Check tick 73,000 in the demo for EXACTLY the same flash that worked successfully.

After a long read:

I'll follow the rules and calls as best I can in future :)



The demo: Zippyshare.com - d01_3.zip

Should you need anything clarifying from the demo just ask me :)

And I hope you welcome me back soon so I can have some fun with you guys.

I deal with language barriers on a daily basis here, so that is certainly something I understand. A reasonable person might wonder why every time the call is "all mid" they are the only person to go mid. This also doesn't add up with your excuse directly after being slayed.

Since you brought it up, I will also discuss the previous dust2 map. When I joined the Ts were not making calls. I of course immediately questioned this and began to make some calls, during which you argued against me and repeatedly said that we needed to slow play and continued to argue when I would make calls. After a few slays and bans were issued the team (and yourself) shaped up and we came to a respectable finish though we did not win. The reason for stating all of this is that sometimes admin presence is necessary to get things moving in the right direction. That is not always the case though. Sometimes all it takes is one or two other folks stepping up and communicating and pushing the team. When you argue against the shot caller you undermine their ability to gain control of the team and get everyone working together. This is as bad as not following the call, and you were nearly banned for it.

Per your statement that you will follow calls in the future I will proceed with a vote.

The CS:GO admins voted to sustain the ban. You will be able to appeal the ban in 30 days.
