We are talking about a guy who smurfed into an all newbie game to have an easier time beating up inexperienced people. I'm not calling myself stupid. Of course I realized it should have been illegal. That's why I sent kita the PM in the first place. However, I did not assume that Kita thought it should be illegal. I thought maybe he didn't realize the full power of it. Cool. Then the case is closed since the pm Kita send you is impossible to interpret like he thinks it is legal. You purposefully tried to break the game with something "you realized it should have been illegal". How is this still an argument?

You shoudln't be banned for breaking a game if you aren't doing anything against the rules. That's just playing to your wincon.
And I did interpret kita's pm as that he thought it should be legal. The subject of the pm was "Can you clarify?" He clarified the rules regarding pms by saying you can't link to them. So one would assume that because he omitted quoting in his list of things that are illegal, quoting is therefore legal.

Kita, that quote just proves my integrity. I won't lie to make myself look better.

Originally I took it in the general sesne that showing your QT of any kind was not okay. That's why I didn't ask about it more. Then Marv did it and nothing happened to him. And Marv showed me the OP, which only referred to linking to your QT. So that lead me to believe that Kita interpreted my question as specifically regarding to linking the QTs.

nh, while i always enjoy a little banlist drama it seems to me that if
- the player in question - the host - the other players in the game - BH
all seem to be fine with just a warning or 1-game ban, after three pages of arguing it's probably time for everyone else to just get out of the way. you've been heard
also...<3! hi jat ^^ pm me when you're playing again so i can play with you? pretty please?

Original Message From nnn_thekushmountains: i knew it was wrong and bad but i just got really mad and my emotions took over.
You also sent me this one.
Typically if you know something is "wrong and bad" you don't do it, regardless of whether it was explicitly mentioned. You ask the host if there is something that you aren't completely sure about, rather than doing it anyway and posting "lol is this allowed?"
Personally, I don't really care if you are banned and have to miss a week or if you're just warned. Since you're already playing Noir, you could probably just sit out Haunted and by the time both are finished it doesn't impact you at all. It's not like we're deciding whether to lock you up for life or not. It's more important that you understand the effect it has on the game and don't try something that "should be illegal" in the future.

All know that Kush did this knowing better. How can people argue about banning people who aren't voting ONCE and let this guy get away with a warning for doing something far worse? This is bullshit. But I made my point. If BH wants to let this banlist be a joke he can do that.
Sure, I can pm you but since normal minis don't seem to get hosted lately I don't know when I will feel the urge to play again.

It's like back when I used to play Starcraft 2, protoss could do these unstoppable canon rushes on some maps. Do you blame the protoss players, or do you change the maps?
I started out trying to play a macro game but I got raged and resorted to the canon rush.

Ehh, sorry if I'm coming off that way JAT, in general I know people are concerned I'm overzealous with bans so I'm trying to be a bit more cautious if that makes sense? I'm not saying "I, Blazinghand, think a warning is the best here" because I personally do not think that. I don't want to be the one pushing for a ban though because I think the primary concern people brought up about me running the ban list is that I am overeager to ban people for this kind of thing. I want to help, rather than like hurt people and the situation. Which is why I am soliciting comments, if that makes sense.

lol I think we've reached the point of arguing for the sake of arguing so it's probably time for BH to flip a coin or do whatever he does to decide things.

I also don't see anyone besides kush actively arguing against a ban anyways.

It kinda should be though. In the past people have complained about the consistency of the rulings. I think listening to everyone's opinion who wishes to share is the best way to make sure a fair decision is reached.
It sounds like this is where people are at the moment. Let me know if I've incorrectly interpreted your response. hapa (co-host) seemed to be leaning towards the ban as well when we discussed things.
Jat: ban rayn: ban qatol: ban BH: ban Hapa: ban kita: ban damdred: ban
kush: warning koshi: warning Rels: warning
7-3
Initially I asked for a warning, but based on the discussion I think a 1-game ban is probably the most appropriate for doing something that you knew was wrong, even if it was ambiguous. I think common sense takes precedence here.

I just want to say I've always felt the pm/qt land was sacred and never able to be put into thread.
I think a game ban isn't to much. But I also thought it was in the spirit of the rules bot to do it. So yeah honestly bh do what you think is in the spirit of the rules shrug.

A 1-game ban for Kush is approved, beginning when he finishes any games he's in now.
