Hi Malikov,
In closing -
- You were not there to duel.
- You both identified with and encouraged anti-social behaviour on the server.
- I had reasonable grounds to believe that breaches of sever rules were imminent and discharged the 1411 to deter you from continuing your course of conduct.
- Your group nevertheless persisted in a course of conduct contrary to server rules and you were banned for your participation in that group despite not taking a swing at me.
I understand why you are upset, you believe that it was wrong of me to shoot you as you had not flourished me. With respect, that is a reductive view of the surrounding circumstances.
Administrators are entitled to use the 1411 to break up anti-social players and this was the logic which informed my decision to shoot you at first instance. I had reasonable grounds to believe that I was going to be unpleasantly attacked/harassed in game and took action to prevent that from occurring.
Having addressed the shooting, I move to address your ban.
The law's standard is to impose liability on those that intentionally assist, encourage or direct the commission of an offence or those who enter into an agreement to commit one where the complicit person is aware of the probable outcome (being the commission of the offence). This applies regardless of whether you realise that the facts constitute an offence (very relevant to your argument). You have admitted that the group was an FFA group and this is relevant to the extension of liability which I applied to you as everything was unfolding.
I do not appreciate your unsubstantiated attempts at character-assassination. I have spent a significant amount of time discussing your ban which you continue to take no responsibility for and I hope that this brings the dispute to a close.
Duke
