I've only just got a chance to get in to reply as I've been at work all day but let's clear up a few things:
1. I was not salty about being killed, I've been playing this game a long time. If I got that salty every time I died I'd be a very unhappy person and I certainly wouldn't be in the staff position that I am in. The reason we were looking at you two is that several other staff had raised their concerns about you previously. So the fact that you claim to not know what ghosting is doesn't make sense. Also the fact that we noticed you had unfriended each other also made us suspicious that you were trying to hide that you were friends in order to get an advantage.
2. Thank you for providing the video, while it only shows part of the round, it shows the part that we were most suspicious about. Guinea whipping around to kill me, it looked like he didn't see me and was then told 'hey you've missed that book in the corner' as he whips around and kills me instantly. Then going on to kill the last prop, can I point out that Guinea got no kills that round until after you were dead, which also looks suspicious to us.
3. At the end of the day we are here to try and keep the server as fair as possible, no one likes to play with or be killed by a cheater. The staff team are human and try their best, in this case I thought I had done what was right based on what I saw. Looking back on it, was I a bit hasty? Yes. I don't claim to know it all or get it right all time but I am big enough to own up to my mistakes. Did I think you were helping each other out in the game yes, but I can't back that up and that's on me. So I am recommending that you both be unbanned, however that will be up to the other mods as I cannot decide on a unban request that involves me.
4. When Guinea contacted me on steam last night I asked them to bring this to the forum and explained that all unban requests must be completed here, they continued to message me, you then messaged me on discord and eventually tried to call me on discord, after being told that DMs were not where this could be dealt with. You also messaged two other members of staff on steam/discord/forums. This is not ok, I get that you were both annoyed about what happened but it was a bit much going after staff in their private messages. I know you weren't aware of this but it was 1am for me when you were calling/messaging me.
I will leave this in the hands of the other mods, I do apologise that things went this way but I would like you do be more respectful in the future as we are only trying to do what we think is best for the server.
