1) Votekicks last only 30 minutes. Did you wait at least 30 minutes to make sure your “ban” is not just a votekick?
Yes I am sure. It has been at least a month since my being banned.
2) What is your in-game player name? Please include it in the subject of this topic as well.
My in-game player name is either “Big Pink” or “Ten Ton Tommy” depending on the roomie playing. But it was certainly my playing that led to the ban.
3) What server were you playing on when you got banned? Reminder: We can only help you with bans that took place on aloha.pk servers.
Though it was less playing and more straight-up bullshit, I was “playing” on the aloha Tower of Babel server.
4) Why were you banned? Lying severely decreases your chances of getting unbanned. If your “little brother” got you banned, tell him to make an appeal, or accept responsibility on his behalf.
Blatant aim-botting, that is, at point of banning, I wasn’t even attempting to conceal it. Headshot after headshot, less playing an interactive and fun game with the Build and Shoot community, and more the type of naval-gazing, fish in the barrel dominance that has been plaguing gaming. I wasn’t surprised when I was banned, as I had in the past been vote-kicked and complained about. During the game play when the ban took hold, there was much complaining regarding the ‘Pink.’ It was late, so that only could have made things worse.
What did make it worse was that more despicable than the bots was the treachery I took part in, freely switching teams so that everyone who was playing on that Babel server that night was suffering fools for a lot longer than necessary.
5) Why should you be unbanned?
I know with the behavior I displayed that my appeal shouldn’t merit a second look, let alone the consideration of the administrators, who I’m sure have plenty on their plates, but please hear me out.
I have to apologize for my bullshit. To my roommate who can longer play because of my bullshit. To the administrators who I presume are pulled away from that rarest of qualities in quality gaming, fun, to fight the bullshit. To the players who had been there when I was banned, working to add integrity to their towers with integrity, their fun forced to work by my bullshit. To all players online now building a community of killing with common courtesy, made further weary by my written bullshit. But most of all, to all the players who barely get online anymore, because they’re the one’s who’ve been most affected by this, my bullshit. Mea culpa, mea culpa.
I’m asking for my server to be unbanned to let my friend and roommate who plays “Ten Ton Tommy” to play again. It was his computer and his server (pardon any computing ignorance) that I was using that night and he hasn’t been able to play since. It was quite a bit ago since this incident, so I can’t recall whether I had been playing under his user (the aforementioned triple T), or mine, “The Big Pink”. In any case, by any and all means keep “Big Pink” banned as my behavior was gross and thus the name follows as gross, one that would only unnecessarily stress any frequent regulars of the game.
But please allow for the unbanning of this server/computer. Though my friend and roommate doesn’t treat it like a big deal since it’s happened, that’s just his way. Even though he’s got a lot of other things going on his life, at one point, Build and Shoot was a regular, albeit small part of his life. I want to do right by him and all of you, and can assure you of no further incidence of “The Big Pink”, a short and insignificant user who took the easy and cowardly way towards “fun” rather than build the skills through play.
Please consider.
6) When were you banned? Best approximate date and time, please.
The best approximate I can give is perhaps early October, perhaps late September.
