On June 12th, 12:36 AM with 6 minutes left on the war timer, a Russian player was killed within one second upon leaving their base by a veteran player, the player then clipped the incident and rightfully reported the opponent for base camp. The player provided clear video evidence to the staff who took the sit and in any other situation this would have been an open and shut case within less then a minute with the result of the opponent receiving a warning as they are a veteran player who knows the rules, but that did not happen. Instead the staff member dismissed the sit even with clear video evidence. After the sit, the staff member then re-watched the video and told the player that if he wanted too, he could make a forums report because he did not want to go back on his decision. So, with every right too, the player wrote up the report and posted it later that night. In any other situation I wouldn't give two shits about a simple base camp report on a Friday night but after reading the responses, viewing all the negative reactions, and seeing the clear player bias, my blood was boiling.
Some of you may know what report I am referencing but if you don't, here it is.
Although making a base camp report for a war taking place at 12:36 AM on a Friday night may seem petty, Jack had every right to do it. But that is not what i want to focus on ; I want to focus on the responses made by @Mitsuri1 and how the situation was handled.
And yes, the report was accepted and Mitsuri did receive a warn but I cannot gloss over the obvious lying, gas lighting, and manipulation tactics he used to discredit Jack and sleaze his way out of this simple warn. In case you haven't seen the video in question, i have posted a slowed down version below which clearly show's Mitsuri only a few steps away from the Russian base walls.

I believe that the obvious base camp in that video speaks for itself. This should have never had to become a forums report and if Mitsuri owned up to his mistake it would have just been a simple warn with little to no repercussions, but he decided to dig himself a deeper hole and lie not only in his responses on the report but directly to the staff member in the sit. Below are screenshots of a few messages Mitsuri wrote throughout the sit along with a link to a video of the actual sit if you wish to watch it all.

Mitsuri repeats many times throughout this sit that he could not render base when he was only a few feet away from the bridge wall. Even if the bridge is not counted as base, you can still render the rest of the base from his position. I will be honest and say there there are two times within the sit that MItsuri seems to just want it to be over and done with and receive a warn so he can go back to war but this sit is not makes me mad, it is the responses he made on the actual forums report in which his attitude changes. Below are screenshots from his first response on the report.
Mitsuri spends the first portion of his response painting himself as an innocent victim in hopes people would pity and relate to him, clear manipulation tactic to spin the narrative.
Unless the verbal warning was given after he had re spawned Jack, there is no verbal given.
This is the portion that really makes me upset. You spend the rest of your response personally attacking Jack and trying to gas light him into thinking he is in the wrong which he is not. Instead of owning up to your mistake, you berate and try to manipulate the situation around onto Jack. At no point throughout his report or during the sit does Jack personally attack you which makes all of these comments completely uncalled for. Instead of using your response to admit to your mistake or to even try and disprove the evidence you go right for name calling and lies. You end your response with "Please grow the fuck up" which I can only describe as completely ironic based on how differently you too handled this.
Below are screenshots from Mitsuri's second response. The things he puts in quotations are what Jack wrote in response to Mitsuri's first post.
Like I said before, unless a verbal was given after Jack was returned, we did not see any given.
Anyone with any competency on how to use a time scrubber(the scroll thing) can clearly see you standing right next the base exit. Like i said before, even if the bridge does not count as base, you can still render the rest of the base from your position.
Once again you end your response with gas lighting and name calling.
At the end of the day, this is just a GMOD server and I'm just a 17 year old who spent way too long making this post. Even so, your manipulation tactics are clear and only goes to show how far you will go to avoid a simple warn, can't imagine what else you would do for something bigger. There are other things I wished to touch upon in this post like the unwarranted negative response Jack has gotten, player bias, and mob mentality but I've been up for 17 hours, am exhausted and need to eat something. Mitsuri, feel free to respond with your own defence but please try and keep it professional this time and leave out the gas lighting and name calling(maybe a bit if needed ). In fact, anyone can feel free to point out mistake or bias's i may have made in this post, i do expect some constructive criticism.
Thank you for your time, I will see ya'll tomorrow morning.
EDIT: Also, sorry for some of the shit formatting
