Nope not happening, resignation denied. You can try again in a few months but at the moment it's not happening

As the banning admin, who is on the internet, perhaps it is you who should reevaluate your behaviour? What you think is overkill or not is completely irrelevant. You boke the rules, you were kicked and immediately began acting like a petulant child. Then you appeal with the reason that I should get off the internet fail to apologise and even to be truthful as to what got you banned. You should count yourself lucky that I am not in charge of appeals as if it were up to me I would leave the ban in place. If you are unbanned I would recommend that you familiarise yourself with our ruleset as there are no third second chances.

Congrats man, good job

what was the name of the gunner?

yes excessive gifts are also to be avoided especially ones that change the balance of the mission ie arty or cas like the wipeout, as rewards they only reward the pilot who flies it and it's OPAF

So here's the list I came up with, I'm willing to accept ideas and suggestions and hope this goes somewhat to reassuring players, also remember you can at anytime contact the admin team with any concerns or complaints. Spartan Dos and Don’ts 1. Your main role is one of making sure the mission runs smoothly. That means alerting admins of any rule breaking. If it becomes clear that you are not reporting troublemakers your Zeus access will be revoked. It’s absolutely pointless having staff members on a server if they are not prepared to act in the best interests of players. If an admin joins the server sees lots of TKing that hasn’t been reported and multiple AFK players you will lose your spartan status. 2. Do augment the existing missions in novel ways. Make sure that it looks organic and never give players the impression that the mission is unachievable. Example: if sending in reinforcements do it once don’t keep dropping paratroopers down again and again. 3. Don’t spam that goes for; lightning, artillery, mortars or units. Think about what you’re placing and why. 4. Don’t entertain requests: Don’t lightning or teleport stuck players, they can respawn. Don’t fix broken vehicles they need to sort it out themselves, don’t do the job of a player if they need ammo let the team do it don’t spawn in an ammo box. If you don’t you will get nothing but a list of shit to do when players could be doing it themselves. 5. Don’t suspend the main mission you might think your mission is great but that’s not what people joined the server for. 6. Don’t spend too much time on your mission server restarts happen all the time and you will feel shit if you’ve spent an hour on a mission just to have it disappear. 7. Spawned items should not appear miraculously no one should see a unit being spawned in. 8. Until it’s resolved taking control of AI and killing players is not permitted it will be classed as teamkilling. 9. Observe potential troublemakers Zeus is an incredibly powerful tool for seeing how people are playing. Keep an eye out for AFK players, keep spawn area relatively tidy. 10. Don’t play container Jenga. 11. Do go easy you don’t have to be building missions all the time. 12. You must be on teamspeak if you are in Zeus. 13. Do not interfere with other people’s work if someone is Zeusing (you’ll know because they’re on TS) don’t do anything Zeuswise when one is already active, one Zeus at a time is enough. 14. Custom missions should be not longer than 20/30 minutes. The creator must be present for the entirety of the mission. The mission should be cleaned up afterwards. If the creator has to leave he must delete all traces of his mission. 15. Don’t give perks to players you know. Don’t punish players you don’t like. 16. Missions should be small, don’t use the big premade ares bases don’t place too many objects or units and don’t waste time on fluff. 17. Artillery and mortars, don’t aim and don’t spam, a round should land before the next is placed, never aim exactly on players but around them it’s much more entertaining for them.

Zeus at the moment while directly controlling ai killing players results in a TK message and for this reason is not being permitted at the moment. This is not up for debate. If a player joins and sees multiple tk messages and someone explains "oh that's fine he's an admin" it reflects terribly on all of us. The manner in which I use Zeus is as follows, others may use it differently. Lightning should be used in moderation and only for discipline for players who are tking spamming or otherwise breaking the rules. Players will get stuck for tking with no explanation reminded that tking is not permitted and will be kicked the next time an infringement happens. New units are spawned out of sight of players so as not to appear from nowhere. This ruins the immersion and gives players a feeling of helplessness whereby the feel as if they can't win. Zeus missions: I don’t do them because we have a fabulous canvas of mission within I&A that have stood the test of time and keep bringing back players. I find having Zeus missions dilutes it takes away from the main mission and adds little. Also it takes time and resources and there’s no guarantee that the sever won’t have to be restarted just as you’ve finished delicately placing all your items/units/buildings. I’m going to write up a list of do’s and don’ts for all new Spartans so hopefully this won’t be an ongoing issue.

unfortunately we do have to say no for this reason. We would love if everyone played their role but we can't police it simply too many people. Yes and you can help obs recording or shadowplay use the footage for a report and we can take action. We want the servers to run smoothly but we can't be on them 24/7 but if we get footage we can act on it and do something about it. Have a look at TS see if there's an admin and talk to them they will help you out.

Seeing as you've been banned from one you're banned from all of them.

It does indeed sound like bollocks so we're going to go ahead and leave this ban in place.

You said you just found out but that's obviously not true, given that you've already appealed this ban where you made no mention of your little brother? Which, in any case is moot as it's not a valid excuse in and of itself.

Wait? What? How's that?

it is in the arma ban. "Herbert Smith - zis - wasting asstes abuse" Also waiting for the hummingbird is a quick way to get in trouble there were other choppers available to fly and if you get caught again waiting, not utilising the slot you won't be coming back. And if you ever talk to me like that again don't even bother filling in a ban appeal as we won't entertain it. I will lift the ban on condition that you understand and follow the rules going forward.

You were banned for the abuse we are not going to accept being spoken to like that.
