Correct. Probably not the best way, but a very strong and selfish way. A way that you talked about relatively openly on May 22 when you saw I was also playing Telekinesis in a Snowyville lobby. I noted the movement strength of Telekinesis when you said “interesting” to me playing Telekinesis:
To which you added on:
There’s no way to get points with Telekinesis directly beyond deliberately flinging enemies into other players, killing them, and then taking their points off their dead bodies. If you acknowledge that farming strategies exist, why weren’t you using them? There’s a Spear on Snowyville, there’s even an Arkhalis in the same upgrade path. You could’ve farmed points decently by sticking to traditional farming strategies, but instead you chose to abuse your access to Telekinesis and use it to ruin other players’ experiences, both in that Snowyville lobby and likely in others, as you mentioned here:
Other people doing it, either deliberately or by accident isn’t an excuse for you to do it yourself. In just the one lobby I played with you throughout rounds 2 to 9, you did it several times.
Sure. Of the footage I recorded (again, on May 22nd), there were a few notable instances later in the game that I picked out, later because that’s when Telekinesis is ramped up in strength more, and it’s far, far easier to hurt other players with it. It’s reflected in the footage.
Here at the beginning of Round 7, you were standing in the relative safety of the middle house’s bedroom instead of actively fighting the spawning enemies. No enemy could directly get to you if you were to use the Telekinesis pull here due to how crammed in the space is. Other players are scattered around the map playing the game, and then you use the Telekinesis pull at around 0:08 and 0:20, sending enemies flying through other players and disrupting their flow of combat with movements that the enemies can’t make on their own, hurting all of them in the process. In the house, Gamer Guy and Bondi are both hurt by enemies suddenly getting shoved into their faces, and in the cave MishelMAK and oio a similar thing happens where enemies are suddenly put uncomfortably close for them to handle effectively. With the second pull, you did pull enemies away from oio, but at the cost of pulling other enemies through Gamer Guy, jose 2, Bondi, and MishelMAK, the latter two players both almost being killed by it.
In this shorter clip at the end of Round 7, Gamer Guy was fighting the second phase of the Lihzahrd boss on the right side of the house. Because of how fast the Lihzahrd is combined with its immunity to knockback, it manages to score another hit on Gamer Guy, almost killing them. While that was happening, you were jumping up onto the left side of the house’s roof. Said left side of the surface in general was completely clear of enemies, posing no threat to you if you were to use a Telekinesis pull there. At 0:02, the boss dies, and then you use a Telekinesis pull, pulling enemies towards you. Because of the walls in the way between you and the extra Spore Zombies on the right, they all fall around Gamer Guy, hitting them again in their already crippled health state and just in general putting them in significantly more danger than they were before you used the Telekinesis pull.
Then there’s this near the end of Round 8. Once again, you’re sitting in the bedroom, where no enemies could be pulled directly into you because of the walls around it. Less than one second into the clip, you use the Telekinesis pull. In the cave, ycaro is tagged once by the enemies they were farming with Spear, but carries on farming despite the slight interruption by using Spear’s knockback to keep the enemies at bay. A Gastropod narrowly misses jose2 in the cave, but once again, there’s trouble up at the house. The already hurt Bondi was chipping away at a Wandering Eye there right before you use the pull, with said pull sending several Spore Zombies flying into the house. It ends up getting Bondi killed in a prime position for you to immediately revive them while putting in incredibly minimal work to defend yourself with the new enemy positions.
The evidence I gathered as well as what you said here in your appeal just doesn’t seem to add up to your actions being an accident, but instead something you’d done multiple times throughout your playtime on Dark Gaming. You’d mentioned that there were other farming strategies that you could’ve used and that you had used it to kill other players before, but your statements early on in the Snowyville lobby showed how you instead prefer to get points. You saying that other players might have done it on accident before likely isn’t entirely false, we’ve all made mistakes in the past. But at the same time, you can’t use it as an excuse if it’s happened repeatedly, which it has at least in that one lobby. What you’ve said so far doesn’t convince me that that it was a one off thing and that you’ve done it before. Your actions have spoken more than your words. Do you have anything to say of it?
