First let us discuss the "evidence" that was used to ban me.
....if there was any. Anthony claimed he could tell I was playing for Hawkince and vice versa by our pings which differed by about 10 ping. Banning someone based off of that on a server with 30 people who all have pings in and around that range that could fluctuate at any moment is absurd and possibly the largest conjecture one could ever make.
Anthony claimed he would check the GUIDs after the match, why not during? That is solid proof who is who, a GUID is the identifier of a player, had I came in with hawkince's name, my GUID would still be the same, they would check the logs and see that under my GUID I had come into the server with two names, MATT as well as Hawkince. Refusal to check GUIDs is very suspicious and obvious foul play was at work here by the admins.
The reason I was "disqualified" because I had APPARENTLY been playing under someone else's name, which would've fallen under deception/cheating
Now let us take a look at the rules.
1. Be respectful during or after fights!
2. bayonets only! No cavalry or Officers.
3. Melee speed will be set to "Fastest".
4. The first duels will be first to 5 but the semi-finals and finals will be first to 7.
5. There will be up to 64 players.
6. The player who remains undefeated will win the tournament.
7. All fights will be done on one day.
8. The server will be given out on the day.
9. After having fought your opponents go straight to spectator unless told otherwise.
10. If anyone breaks any rules you will first be warned and then if you do it again you will most likely be banned.
11. Respect other players. Sportsmanship is encouraged! Toxic Behavior is not tolerated.
No where in those rules does it state anything about not being allowed to cheat. You know its a poorly ran and "fishy" tournament when there is no rule that says no cheating. Now let us think here......WHO is running the tournament???
Someone who the community all agrees to be VERY fishy when it comes to blocking multiple people.
Again by agreeing to the rules you subject yourself to be removed from this tournament at anytime without any prior notification.
Be removed in accordance with those rules. Did I break any of the rules? No, you broke your own rule. Number 6. The player who remains undefeated will win the tournament. That was not the case as I was undefeated and removed from the tournament for "having a different ping than hawkince". And winters a guy who lost a duel , had the ability to win the tournament without being undefeated. Guess we can just make up rules mid tournament and kick anyone out no matter how absurd and stupid the rule is.
After I beat winters 5-1, you removed me from the tournament, as well as hawkince, and let winters continue to play in the tournament after losing. Since I was apparently cheating, shouldn't everyone I beat get a second chance just like winters? Likewise for hawkince's bracket, they should all get a second chance.
Instead of banning me then checking the GUIDs after, you should have let me and hawkince finish out the tournament, THEN check the GUIDs, and if the GUIDs proved we were cheating, then disqualify us, and the win goes to whoever was next in line, if I did win, which good chance I was going to.
Terrible handling by the admins.
I demand for me to be allowed to pick up the tournament from my POV and play from the semi finals.
