RE: Player sanctioned:[XTF]-Nighthawk - Tunicle - 01-22-2015

Quote:Perhaps, the reports about "sufficient/insufficient time" rained after Tunicle made a couple of precedents.
Very questionable precedents.

I see you are still trying to make it personal despite being informed that I was only the admin posting the results of multiple inputs. However that is not surprising because you have ignored many things.

However I am a patient man, so as you seem to forget many things in these multiple infringements I will try an analogy based upon the most common approach to justice in the democratised world, the adversarial system where you have prosecutors and defence viewpoints.

Like many you cast the admins in the incorrect role, the prosecutors are the multiple violation reports submitted by players, they all judged your actions to be problematic and are the prosecutors.

Admins (note plural) look at this evidence and not only act as devils advocate (defence, although you are unlikely to believe that) but also the arbiters (judges) Remembers things are rarely black and white, if they were the world would not need prosecutor and defence viewpoints on same evidence.

The results of the deliberations are the sanctions, what you do not see are the many more reports that are not upheld because of reasonable doubt.

The end of this process is the sanction, then as you have demonstrated you can also act as your own defence. However you have continued arguing and ignored many of the points posed to you and refuse to acknowledge you have done anything problematic.

Then you keep retreating to the “Tunicle did it” defence, totally ignoring the information that that admin was only the poster.

Ignoring it a number of times and still trying to insinuate it is admin and friends conspiracy. Despite the fact that whenever the faction has reported you, which I guess your ooRP motivation comes from, I have not taken part in that thread.This also has already been quoted in previous messages. I have not had to do than frequently because the reports are many and people not linked to any faction, although blaming one faction seems to be you point.

For information only 1 report comes from that faction, one I do happen to be in but also one violation I made no comment on. I also find that level of insinuation quite childish and rude, just because you think like that does not mean everybody does.

Then the final point you keep ignoring because it allows you to keep bringing up timing as misdirection.

For many of these sanctions the action, irrespective of timing is a direct ID violation. Again this has been pointed out previously, quoted and even advised that if you did not like it petition to change ID, all ignored.

You have multiple sanctions over a number of years and have been banned, for how long? How many times? All linked to different player reports and multiple unconnected admin teams. Yet you still think you have done nothing problematic

“I was getting lucky for 4 years? And now 3 sanctions in a row? Are you serious?“

Luck has nothing to do with it and any person using the search function would wonder at that statement. I find the fact you think like that a little sad as I presume it indicates that you therefore consider your recent ban also unfair.


RE: Player sanctioned:[XTF]-Nighthawk - Sava - 01-22-2015

None of MY previous sanctions are in ANY way connected to bad timing. That's my point.
Furthermore, there are few such sanctions at all, and all of them have different background (mainly abusing /setmsg).

Also, in the first sanction notice you interpreted ID's description as a part of ID's restrictions, which OBVIOUSLY falls out of the general practice. Which puts both your competence and impartiality under question.

Of course, it's all democratic and stuff. Aren't we now openly discussing the matter, after all?
Oh, I guess, not. Because public can't post here. And because you'll shut my mouth if I try to expand this discussion.
Or when you run out of arguments.



Bans?
Yes, I consider my server ban unfair. For obvious reasons.
And I consider particular Admins' conduct unreasonable and unfair, too.
I was asked to provide an explanation of how accident with CGS base became possible in exchange for my unbanning.
Given the fact that I'm not much into IT or programming, that was a mockery.

Edit:
Regarding the ban, once again.
Imagine that I didn't cheat, neither I knew how to (I don't ask to believe me now).
Now imagine how would I react on such ultimatum: "You didn't cheat? Ok. Then explain how did that glitch happen, or we don't unban you".

That's my point. Your point is because you did not do it before you cannot possibly be doing it now? Well you win that one as I cannot fathom out that level of logic.

Furthermore, there are few such sanctions at all, and all of them have different background (mainly abusing /setmsg). Whilst that may be true the one you keep dragging me into, for whatever reason, involves that. However, how does having lots of different causes of sanctions have any bearing. To most people having sanctions for many different things is slightly more problematic than just one thing. And what relevant is what you mainly get sanctioned for, just shows you are not learning to control whatever prompts the abuse.

Also, in the first sanction notice you interpreted ID's description as a part of ID's restrictions, which OBVIOUSLY falls out of the general practice. So because general practice is to ignore the wording means it cannot possibly be useful. Instead of picking each little variety why not look at the bigger picture, many players have reported many things that they feel are problematic. Add them up rather than trying to deconstruct each point and argue the tiny points.

Which puts both your competence and impartiality under question. Oh again dropping to the peronal insult level despite many posts suggesting why this is odd. Just out of curiosity were/are you the schoolground bully. You may question it however you want and even disagree with it but the words are fairly black and white. Than neither makes me incompetent or not impartial. Ignoring what is written because of common practice would be incompetent and showing lack of impartiality. I have no idea of your age or culture but I am used to a saying "two wrongs do not make a right."

Of course, it's all democratic and stuff. Aren't we now openly discussing the matter, after all? I guess the community can see that, considering the amount of posts they can probably decide a discussion or not. However, open discussion does not equal effective discussion, especially if part of the discussion appears more of an argument than discussing.

Oh, I guess, not. Because public can't post here. And because you'll shut my mouth if I try to expand this discussion.
Or when you run out of arguments.
Oh missed that the previous was intended sarcasm or irony, public do not need to post here. You are not expanding the discussion fruitfully, you are ignoring what you do not want to hear and are trying to turn this in to some admin bias against yourself rather than just accepting many people are unhappy with you to the point reporting you. The admins are neutral, if you had not been reported we would not have had to consider it. We have not run out of arguments as this is not a discussion, refusing to accept what people are saying does not negate their points.

Bans?
Yes, I consider my server ban unfair. For obvious reasons. Sadly only obvious to you, which does not necessarily make it legitimate to consider unfair and as you forget before my time.
And I consider some of the Admins conduct unreasonable and unfair, too. Only on the grounds of not allowing what you want. In honesty I would rather end up with you annoyed than all the people who have reported you being annoyed, simple numbers. Again in your eyes it is admins vs. you, you are forgetting the reports are from players, many. Some may be unjustified, they probably end up in the bin so you never see those. But multiple reports from unlinked players is not a coincidence.

I was asked to provide an explanation of how accident with CGS base became possible in exchange for my unbanning. And?
Given the fact that I'm not much into IT or programming, that was a mockery. Not really germane to the personal vendetta you seem to have aimed at me but are you suggesting you traded information that was useless to get yourself unbanned?

It is also unlikely I will respond further, life is short and you will forever feel the victim. You seem to have no real desire to accept any accountability for your actions either for now or in the past.


RE: Player sanctioned:[XTF]-Nighthawk - Sava - 01-22-2015

Quote:Good you have learnt not to do what you used to, maybe the timing issues reported by multiple other players will also be solved.
I already said that, according to admins, I didn't have timing issues in the past.

Quote:So because general practice is to ignore the wording means it cannot possibly be useful.
If you ignore certain VAGUE wording in general, and then use it against a specific player who in game made one of admin's buddies upset, it's a selective justice.

Quote:Instead of picking each little variety why not look at the bigger picture, many players have reported many things that they feel are problematic. Add them up rather than trying to deconstruct each point and argue the tiny points.
I am arguing on each point I feel strong in. To point out your bias/mistakes/double standards, whatever. As a collective body that produces "verdicts" and bases those on the server rules, you have to avoid such mistakes.

Quote:Just out of curiosity were/are you the schoolground bully.
No, I wasn't.

Quote:But multiple reports from unlinked players is not a coincidence
As I've been told via PM yesterday, 4 of those reports on me were filled by a group of buddies.
But how does the number of reports matter, anyway? Since when players who rage about losing a fight, "RP cargo",
whatever are put in the first place?
In particular case with [XTF]-Nighthawk, I didn't just give the player time to respond, I actually WAITED for him to respond.

Quote:You seem to have no real desire to accept any accountability for your actions either for now or in the past.
I accepted my pre-ban sanctions. Because they didn't fall out of line.
I am not saying that I am 100% right in this case, of course. But what I do say is that the Admin team isn't right for sure.

I already suggested either lifting sanctions, or making a compromise - I accept these sanctions, and the Admin team officially clarifies (or changes) the 3.1 rule, gives me an apology for not doing it earlier, and in future uses the same approach to everyone.

You are free to rewrite the rules and submit it to us if you have better ideas on how to word them. Im also not exactly sure what makes you think that 'Admin buddies' reported you and how that would be selective justice. You did something wrong (multiple times now) and you got slapped for it. I know thats its really easy to search for mistakes in the things others do, while ignoring what you yourself did wrong.

Thats the thing, you feel strong in points. That doesnt mean that you are, or that you argue because you are right.

Letter, seemingly, won't happen, because you need vague wording to target people for not-out-of-ordinary-gameplay when they made your buddies upset.

See above, you are free to submit a better wording for the rule if you desire.

Now just another time to explain why you got sanctioned here:

You RP'd with a guy in Alpha, thats okay. You then made a demand that told him to leave the system, roughly 20 seconds later (this includes the death sequence, which takes a few (5 or more) seconds as well) he is dead. Thats not how it works and you have done things like this a few times now. This got nothing to do with a wierd interpretation of the rules or anyones relationship to other players, its simply you violating a rule.



RE: Player sanctioned:[XTF]-Nighthawk - Sava - 01-22-2015

Do you ever give essential answers?
I'll be more brief.
All-in-all, you didn't clarify the rule despite we're arguing for sooo damn long.

First:
Quote:In particular case with [XTF]-Nighthawk, I didn't just give player time to respond, I actually WAITED for him to respond.

Second:
How much time is considered sufficient and for what ship types (you seem to "strengthen" your position, saying "especially in a battleship")?

What should I clarify about a rule thats posted in the public parts of the forums? You can easily do that for yourself if you could bother to read. But I feel like a nice person today, so here for the extremely special people:

3.1 An attack is any hostile action that drains shields to less than 50%. -Definition of what counts as an attack
Saying "Engaging" is not sufficient - You need RP before you open fire
and aggressors are not allowed to destroy a ship before allowing sufficient time to respond. -You cant shoot at someone right after you started your RP/made your demand
If a player is attacked he has the right to defend himself regardless of who is attacking. -Obvious
Trading nanobots, shieldbatteries or other ammo and equipment during a fight is also considered taking an active role in the engagement. - Obvious

That was a hard one, wasnt it?

If you are looking for a 'I need X words before I can shoot' or 'I have to wait x seconds before I can shoot' then you wont get that, these things are different for every sanction, because the situations are completely different ones, there is for example a difference between the survivabilty of a Battleship - Transport and VHF - Transport encounter.

1. The rule states that I can not destroy ship before giving it enough time to respond. It doesn't say "can't shoot". Open your eyes. According to the rule, I can drain it to 1% after some justifiable verbal communication.
2. How does the difference between survivability affect time, needed to respond?
3. How is half a minute insufficient to type a response and start fulfilling my demand (i.e. paying or activating cruise engines)
4. How is 12 seconds insufficient time to start dodging in a fighter?

Jansen, I know the rules. Each and every of them that can affect me while playing here.

Yup, just that this isnt the case here.

2. How does the difference between survivability affect time, needed to respond?

Battleship = instant death with no chance to do anything at all

3. How is half a minute insufficient to type a response and start fulfilling my demand (i.e. paying or activating cruise engines)

It was less time that that.

4. How is 12 seconds insufficient time to start dodging in a fighter?

I dont see how that has anything to do with this sanction.

Jansen, I know the rules. Each and every of them that can affect me while playing here.

Yup, thats cool.

We are done wasting my time here, you are welcome to submit a Player request explaining this case from your point of view should you feel treated unfair.


RE: Player sanctioned:[XTF]-Nighthawk - Tunicle - 01-24-2015

Sava I was going to let the"admin's buddies upset" comment slide because you refuse to listen, refuse to accept answers and still keep throwing mud around but I am quite sure the community love you. Importantly also seem to take no responsibility for what you say or do. You seem to think anarchy is acceptable and your viewpoint is all that matters.

The reason I am not is because I have seen both your player request and the violation reports you have submitted. The twisted insinuation you keep throwing up is now well beyond reason and turning into unfounded ooRP hate and harassment. Whilst this is very childlike and could be ignored there is no reason why it should be. In some respects refusing to reply and ignoring your behaviour is doing a disservice to the community who expect no bias, both ways.

I will keep this simple.
1. I had nothing to do with your application to a player faction being denied, I am not part of the faction leadership and did not look at the application. It was denied because of the way you either ignored or answered the questions, exactly the attitude you have displayed since your first sanction years ago. In one of those interesting coincidences in a totally unrelated thread with totally unrelated people Omicega posted this http://discoverygc.com/forums/showthread.php?tid=125057&pid=1625224#pid1625224 that is why you were turned down by the faction. His second point being fully observable in the last two weeks.

2. You started to target that factions ships, inappropriately using the ID you did because you do not think it should be interpreted as it is clearly written, and with a speed that was deemed too quick. [NOTE nobody knew this was your ship]

3. You were reported, not by a faction player, and I was the third admin to look at it, agreed with the others and as usual third admin posts. [NOBODY STILL KNOWS IT IS YOUR SHIP AND YOUR UNFOUNDED ooRP HATE NOT CREDIBLE AS THE FACTION PLAYER, WHO'S FACTION YOU HAVE DECIDED TO OORP TARGET HAS YET TO REPORT YOU] The first sanction in this saga.

4. Eventually a faction player reported you [STILL NOBODY KNEW YOU OWNED THE SHIP] and that was at the same time as 3 other reports from different people about the same thing, on different ships [AT THIS POINT NOBODY BUT YOURSELF KNEW WHO OWNED THE SHIPS] This made 5 reports for similar things in a short period. The subsequent sanction was thus a composite of many, again I posted. But you still believe the poster is the only admin looking at the evidence.

5. One of these reports was from a faction member, however you have already been told that when that crossed the desk what I posted "could others handle it as I am part of xxx" but still you persist of your rude accusations.

6. I did make comments on some of the other reports, [STILL NOBODY KNEW IT WAS YOU] eventually another admin actually merged all the reports
when it transpired it was all the same player. [ACTUAL PLAYER UNKNOWN STILL BECAUSE FORUM AND SHIP ARE NOT OBVIOUSLY LINKED]

7. So at this stage only one of the reports are from the faction you are accusing of getting admin bias and implying I am corrupt. [STILL NOBODY KNOWS IT IS YOU, ALL WE KNOW IS IT IS A PLAYER WITH LOTS OF SHIPS IN MANY FACTIONS]

8. This is when the world discovered it was you because you have splashed the forums with accusations and bias whilst totally ignoring what is said.

9. From here on in the rest is in the public domain.

10. And if you think the bias is real because we did not turn some of your reports into sanctions when trying for the same thing, it was because no screenshots = no sanction. (Only just discovered these when looking for the first thread. I did not even look at them.)

As you have had too much time spent upon you already can I just remind you why this was posted. You have still failed to grasp no one admin has looked at this but many have. You still refuse to believe that you did nothing wrong and now have the arrogance to post for admin help as long as not by the biased admins. You have severely misjudged how the admin and sanction procedure works, have set up a number of straw dolls that most players know are straw dolls and have refused to acknowledge admins displaying patience to try and get you to see why the players reported you.

And for most of the incidents all we did was Bastille the ships to try and find out what was going on, no fines or anything.
