Raw-C

I'm not trying to rude either and I really would just like for this to end so we can all go back to playing CSS. Yes, you've said that you typically follow the rules and don't do stuff after people tell you not to. I'm going to say the same thing to you that I said to nuggz. Telling me what you've done in the past has nothing to do with what you'll do in the future. Just say you'll do your best to follow the rules in the future without it being in the middle of a paragraph where you continue to defend yourself and accuse me of admin abuse and its done.

You havn't done what nuggZ finally did. Post your steamid and say you'll follow the rules. It may seem petty, but its all I've asked for this whole time.

Yah, I'm really trying to get away from the situation when I said exactly why I banned you. I gave a reminder that intentional FF was against the rules. I guess you didn't see it. When that was ignored/missed, I asked if it was on purpose. You were very cavalier about it and made no statements to the effect of "Yah, sorry I'll be careful". Nothing of the sort. Also, you made a few snide comments about how I should ban someone else when they obviously accidentally FF'd... They didn't even kill their teammate and you made a comment about them getting banned. Aside from those few comments and the perceived attitude I was getting, you dropped it. Which is why all I asked was for you to post up again and I'd unban you.

Sigh. If you're going to quote me, at least try and use something similar to what I actually said. Not once in the whole "ordeal" did I ever threaten to ban. People started saying that'd be ridiculous to ban over something like that and they're right. 1 TK does not a ban make, it was your attitude about it and nuggZ that got it escalated. I've already unbanned nuggZ and just requested that you post up that you'll follow the rules along with your steamid and it'd be done. Why you and your friends have to come in there and continue to attempt to justify your actions or slander me is beyond me. You think its admin abuse, even the people who disagree with the initial ban havn't overturned the decision. Also, I've been over this already, but I never even mentioned Tookey or any of your gang in any reference to banning any of you until nuggZ started requesting himself to be added to the banned list. I finally got tired of it and obliged. Especially after you guys seemed so eager to put this all on the forum.

Eh, there was provocation on both sides looking back on it. I still think nuggZ overstepped the boundaries, but its been civil enough the last few posts so I'll stand by it. Norgman needs to post again though.

Good enough for me. Unbanned. Edit: Laz, if you feel I'm being too lenient by letting up at this point, feel free to reban. Your vote was to leave him banned.

I'm not sure who said what, kind of the problem with voice chat. And I wasn't referring to my level of competition within CS. There is a whole world of competition out there and I know my role when it comes to how bad I am at CS. Anyway, I'm totally willing to make this a dead thread, just post up your steamid and say that you'll follow the rules. Yes, I'm being kind of a stickler about that. Telling me that you've followed the rules 99% of the time in the past isn't saying what you'll be doing in the future. Also, get Norg to come in here and do the same and its done.

I never once mentioned anything about wanting all 3 of you banned. And I didn't know anything about you knowing M2 until you just brought it up now. Nuggz: How do you know I don't understand what its like to compete in something? I do understand the stress levels and taking something that used to be fun to the extreme end of competition and needing to have some fun to blow off some steam. Thanks for underestimating me though. You guys can have fun, thats the whole point on the servers amirite? But we have the rules for a reason. Norg intentionally TK'd, admitted it and didn't say anything about it not happening again. Then you start telling me that I don't understand how you guys just need to have some fun sometimes. Not really going to get you anywhere. But, whatever, we're just talking. Then you say to just go ahead and ban you guys and you'll post up in the forums and be right back on the server. Like I said before, all you need to do is show a little remorse and say you'll follow the rules next time and you get my blessing. Mookie: Norg pretty much did drop it. Aside from a few snide comments regarding how severely I should punish others for their FF, he didn't do much that I heard. Norg got banned cuz nuggz kept pushing me. I still don't see how its no foul given how he responded to me. But thats fine, we disagree.

Theres no need for this to be taken to PM's to me. Neither of them have said anything close to "Sorry, it won't happen again." I'm easy, just show a tad bit of remorse and tell me that you'll follow the rules in the future and you get my blessing. You guys are good, I don't want to keep good players off the server for little stuff like this.

Maverick has it right. I don't like banning people, regulars least of all. All I said was you know better. All you had to do was say yah, sorry and it would have been over. It wasn't until you guys starting telling us that our rules don't matter that the ban became a possibility and eventually happened.

Guess its a topic of much interest. They're appealing to you senior guys to check out the logs and see if you agree with my ban. I'm totally fine with that and will be less strict with rulings in the future if thats how this goes down. It looked to me like Norg was blatantly trivializing the rules and expecting to get away with it. Nuggz just kept arguing the point over voicechat. I decided I should have banned already, so said screw it and banned em both.

I'll take credit for this one. Like he said. Check out the logs. Make your call from there. To clarify, Nuggz was talking about it over voicechat after me and Norg were talking about it.

I guess I'm not the normal gamer. I've got all 3 of the "next gen" systems, and I don't play any of them. Out of curiosity, what 360 games are you guys playing? There havn't been any compelling games on 360, or PS3 far as I've seen so far .

I don't know of anything in specific you can do to strengthen your arms other than climb more. As for resting after 3 climbs for 10 minutes and being good to go again, that sounds pretty normal to me. If I'm working on a really challenging problem, I tend to rest after every 1 or 2 tries, depending on how far along I get. Rest, Ascend. No reason to push yourself, take your time.

Climbing is awesome. I've been going to an indoor gym on and off for the last year or so. Climbing is awesome. I've been going to an indoor gym on and off for the last year or so.

I second the thanks.

Meh, they're all the same after a point. I'm currently doing 16+ hour days at work, so my drinks consist of the following: Water, Red Bull, Rockstar, Monster, Odwalla juices. My fave energy drink is Sobe Adrenaline Rush though.

Why does one need to be of "simple" thinking to get this right? The question tries to mislead you into thinking that the blind man needs to "express" himself in some way other than words because the first person was a mute. Its just a trick question that requires you to pay a little attention to whats being asked.

88%. I'm actually disappointed, I work in the video game industry. I should have only missed a couple.

The banning admin should be along shortly to handle this. In the future, send a message to the admin if you have a problem with another player. Just because someone is killing everyone with headshots does not automatically make him a hacker. Bring it to the admin's attention in a polite way and let them take it from there.
