Enforcement Action Taken
Description of the incident:
I was playing marine and thought of an idea with throwing knives and a claymore, I was told that this was a known thing and this was “nerfed” so I assumed this was already known and had been fixed.
Consider that how vague of a rule this was and being flagged as an exploit, I understand being told not to do it and such, but escalating this punishment straight to a ban I feel is way too harsh as this was literally my first time I was told this was an exploit. Granted, I was told this was escalated due to my previous note 3 months ago, to a similar case which was also a metagaming note to another vague rule that is just not common sense.
As to the moderators comments about “Nothing in the game should be able to one tap a queen”. It did not, the queen was already low before dying to it as a prae triggered it and the queen, who was walking at around half health already, been hit.
I was told that I should not be aware of the CL having monkey boxes despite it not being metagaming to know beforehand the layout of a map and existing items, and I’ve followed that ruling, I’ve been told not to shoot through ladders as I was told this was not intended, and now another vague ruling is being enforced upon me that I had no prior knowledge of knowing and I was straight up banned for it. I had tried to appeal my discord ban and was denied so even if it was posted there, there was no way of me finding out about this vague ruling. Even the moderator who had banned me admitted this was their first time knowing it was an exploit.
Again, I can understand noting me for this, I am just trying to appeal the ban as I find it unreasonable for me to know every single rule that isnt plain up available to me
Evidence:
The note is : Rule 6 - No Metagaming | Placed claymores and stacked them up with throwing knives so that anything that stepped on the mine would instantly die. In the current round, I am aware of two runners and a queen instantly dying to this trap with no counterplay.
Admin PM from-MrSmiley316: Hello, just so you know it’s not intended for you to be able to stack up throwing knives on a single tile with a claymore so that you are able to do insane damage. Due to a prior note for this same issue. I will also be escalating this to a three day ban.
PM to-Admins: what? it was? this is the first time ive heard of this
PM to-Admins: what note was this specifically about?
Admin PM from-MrSmiley316: It’s also my first. Nothing in the game should be able to one tap a queen. Let alone a mine. This is abuse of game mechanics. This is an escalation of your warning note from smellyhippie on september.
