(include any proof): I was shot on the street, and I defended myself using nerve gas (and a Knife, too, but the nerve gas was the main issue). Apparently enough people got nicked by said Gas that it counted as Attempted Mass, and I was banned.Why should your ban be removed?: I've got a couple of issues with this Ban, but it's late here so I'm going to try to make it quick.
Issue #1: The Person who originally reported me was doing it in a joking manner: As far as I could tell from the sit, Bearboobs (who I believe was the one who reported me) was not interested in any sort of formal punishment. I've seen Bearboobs mess around before with behavior that could possibly be considered RDM, but with both parties knowing that it was light-hearted fun, and I don't feel that they would try to push for me to get banned. Nobody besides Bearboobs reported me, which makes me believe that either they didn't care/did it due to my second issue....
Issue #2: Deliberate Entry Into the Nerve Gas: While the Nerve gas was on the street, there was still quite a bit of space to maneuever around it/ avoid it. From what I saw, I saw at least ONE person deliberately running into it. I am aware that Jack had a recording, and I feel that if Jack were to reply with said recording, it would clear a lot of these things up, including the possibility of purposeful damaging in order for a mass RDM ban
Issue #3: Promised Reduction of Ban, Followed By No reduction: During the sit, Jack questioned if I would rather have a 1 week ban or a 2 week ban. I was trying to defend myself, so I didn't want to take any of those options. (After all, nobody likes being banned.) However, when I was banned, it was for 2 weeks, and not the obviously more attractive 1 week ban.
Issue #4: Possibility of this not even being "ATT MassRDM:" I never got a chance to see the logs, however now that I am thinking this over, I was damaged by at least 1 person during the incident. If Jack still has a recording of said logs (which I'm sure he does), I feel that there's a chance that instead of it being "ATT MassRDM," it could've instead been justified due to me defending myself, at least against the person who attacked me, thus possibly making it not MassRDM.
Issue #5: It was never my intention to "ATT MassRDM": I understand the circumstances, but it was never my intention to RDM. I was trying to defend myself against the person attacking me, and the nerve gas happened to be the weapon that I clicked.
God, this is late. Unfortunately, I may be unable to respond for most of tomorrow, due to travelling reasons. I'll try to get my hands on a laptop (or test out the mobile version of Garnet Forums, LOL), but I will probably be unable to respond. Nevertheless, I look forward to the video evidence, as well as the possibility of this ban being dropped, if not reduced.
Thank You.
Just a quick heads-up, was looking on other older reports and whatnot, I believe that if I am not completely pardoned, this ban would technically classify as Unintentional Mass RDM, which is only a week.
