Reasons for Appealing - Delete irrelevant sections
Is the reason/note factually accurate and fair?: No
If no, please provide more details: Did you not do what the ban reason or note says and want it removed entirely? Do you feel a different wording would be more fair and accurate? Do you have a suggested rewording that would satisfy you for this appeal?[/b]:
The reason for my ban is false and personally it feels like a rash bit of judgement. After I A-helped, for admitedly a dumb reason in retrospect, Bible asked me any other accounts I may have had. I couldn't remember the exact name of the account but I told him what I think it was which turned out to be true. He then accused me of ban evasion because I understood the mechanics of the game too well and knew the map too well. To me this is asinine because:
1. I played quite a bit back in 2021 (easily over 100 hours) and arguably the game was a lot more difficult back then since now you don't need to worry about stances.
2. The map really isn't that difficult to figure out. I had never played on IceBox (I think that's the map's name) but it's not like a super complicated map, 10 minutes in and the layout is pretty simple to get down.
3. As I stated to Bible, I keep the wiki open on a second monitor so anything that I don't know I can easily find.
To me there was really no reason I was evading a ban other than knowing how to play the game competently.
Do you feel the ban length or decision to note was unjustifiably harsh?: Yes/No - **If not relevant, please delete this section**
If no, please provide more details: Explain why to the best of your ability. Do you believe this wasn't even a rule break and you shouldn't have been noted? Do you agree with the decision to note or ban, but feel the duration is too harsh? What do you feel would have been proportionate instead and why?[/b]:
I broke no rules and I think Bible's reasoning for why he assumed I was a ban evader is bogus.
