I don’t post on forums, but I’m not going down without at least reaching out.
Plain and simple, I refused to participate in a mindless xp boosting conga-line and I was reported by all 7 other players in the lobby for doing so. I would grab the bomb, and plant it. I actually played a large number of games over the weekend during the Double XP event, most of which being Grifball as I actually enjoy it. I’m sure, based on my experience over the weekend, that this is an alien concept. More than 90% of the games I played, I was flamed for refusing to participate. I was called offensive names, racism came into play a surprising amount of times, teamkilled, harrassed outside of MCC, & of course, unjustly reported for defending myself. It was overall just messy…
Now, I wouldn’t be surprised if I got reported over the course of the weekend via other matches with people throwing tantrums after I refused and “ruined” their “sword lines” & overall game experience- in which case I’d find more plausible as to why I got suspended. I feel there is a handful of issues here, but I prefer to work on finding and working on the ones I can. Whether it be my narrow-mindedness towards “sword lines” or, at the very least knocking my suspension down some time. I never cheated nor participated in anything that would have me reasonably suspended.
Thanks for your time & maybe one day I won’t be looked at as a weirdo for liking Grifball! In retrospect, I did meet some hilarious and fantastic new friends in these trenches, which is a shame because I won’t be able to play with them over this holiday season. I’m not angry, I’m confused and sad at the display of maturity this weekend. Happy holidays and stay warm my dudes!
