I have not followed the whole story about Obelix being banned from FSE (again) and the few messages I have received about it are of course very one-sided. Knowing his past actions, however, I would not be surprised to learn that his ban is indeed 100% justified. He has been given countless opportunities to make-up for his childish, toxic and stupid behaviour yet very rarely shown himself worthy of these. We are talking about someone who has been Doxing, DDossing, death threatening people and many other ill-intentioned actions, on regular occasions yet because he is an amazingly skilled player, he was given a way back in, many times. That's the warband community in a nutshell and if anything, you can blame nobody but yourselves for letting that happen. Obelix can be a nice person to talk and play with, I believe a lot of us witnessed it from our own eyes, myself included, but his inner nature came back up way too many times to believe he could truly change.
His actions happened to have repercussions outside of FSE and he was banned in important tournaments as well recently. Again, I might not be the best person to judge whether or not said ban was justified, and because that decision was mostly taken/influenced by people who have shown regular hatred for that particular group of french players, it cannot be a surprise to see TZO didn't respect that decision in the end. Does that excuse their behaviour? Clearly not. If you don't respect the decision of one of your player being banned, lying and cheating is probably the worse way to go about it. You played, you lost. The only thing you can do now is learning to deal with the consequences of your actions, which we all know you won't because you don't really listen nor care about the opinions of players outside of your very own group.
With that being said, having the rival group of these french players (whether it is split into 3 groups or united in one) taking all the decisions about past, current and future implications of TZO into the competitive scene is setting a horrible precedent. Many of you have been provocative, childish and toxic throughout the last two years in the same way Obelix (and other french players) have been towards you. Claiming it was a defensive mechanism, some of you have even used the very same pathetic actions Obelix was banned for in the first place, yet weaselled their way out of it in order not to face the same punishments. Instead of attempting to solve the problem, you exacerbated it. Again and again and again. Your constant and pathetic attempt at taking the higher moral ground from each of these ridiculous fights is truly saddening.
You shot yourselves a bullet in the foot by maintaining a climate of toxicity between you and that French group of players which means that in the end, you are as much responsible as them for what happened.
