can i play

Bowl doing stupid shit aside, why is rgl even taking into account his personal situation? Why does the fact that he is going into town come into it? Does rgl expect players to cancel preplanned appointments to make matches now? If he chooses to reschedule/cancel something for ESEA 6s but not for rgl highlander that should be his choice, he shouldn’t be banned for it.
How does rgl know that he ‘clearly’ lied to their admins and that what he had planned was cancelled and he chose to play ESEA instead of rgl? If he says he can’t play on a certain day then he can’t play and that should be the end of it, why are they punishing an individual instead of giving a general team punishment (if they even broke any of the rules)? League admins should not get involved in communication between players and team leaders.

RGL bans for anything they want. It doesn't have to be related to TF2 at all. Getting banned from RGL is a two-step process: do something that sigafool would disapprove of and make sure one of the admins finds out. That's it.

banned for picking playing in an actual league over the sigafoo autism olympics

I still find it hilarious that neither jetz nor Sigafoo has stepped up to atleast say "Hey he doesnt use these anymore"
Like own up dude, stop being a fucking pansy.

I used the spy noises for a while over a year ago when they were first becoming known (and a huge amount of hl players had it at the time) and havent used them ever since leagues took a stance and started banning for it

I have never used any kind of box shadow and im not sure where this idea came from? Maybe because i played with emo a lot?

Here's the situation with bowl in more detail as I remember it:

We (KND) won upper bracket in RGL Season 2 HL so we made finals, which was scheduled for the following monday. The lower bracket finals were scheduled for that thursday or saturday or something. A very large amount of players on both teams couldn't make the day for the lower bracket finals, so they both asked KND and RGL to move the date of grand finals back a week.

We were alright with moving it back, until we found out that Bowl couldn't make it because he was going away with family. He told us and the RGL admins that he could not reschedule it and there was no way for him to play grand finals if the day was rescheduled. We relayed this to the admins, that even though it negatively effected both lower bracket final teams (which essentially became two pug teams in the match), KND shouldn't be punished for planning around the dates given and listed in the schedule (which was the correct decision imo). Bowl saying that he couldn't make the reschedule was however main reason why grand finals couldn't be rescheduled, which the rest of the team was pretty okay with, as lower bracket would've been much fairer for both teams.

So yea a week later when bowl was playing an esea match during the time bowl claimed he "had no chance to play tf2 at all", needless to say RGL was rather pissed he blatantly lied to them and us.

move to salt league when

so how does rgl know that the scenario didnt change for bowl? or suppose if he said that he didnt want to play because of esea he wouldnt have been banned or would they have still forced him to play even though the outcome would have been the same? banning him just opens up a whole can of worms, the reason for him not playing should not be factored into the ban. if he says he cant/doesnt want to play that should be the end of it regardless of reason, rgl forcing players to play is really weird

I don't get this sentiment. Do you think bowl and his friends should get away with being a big nuisance to RGL?

You couldn't have said anything more disagreeable. Read YeeHaw's comment and stop being a sigafoo shill.

Ban 1 was retarded, ban 2 was warranted but dumb to tie it into the previous retarded ban. Y'all are playing stupid games and look what ur winning.

.

From the rate this is going I would rather play the stupid game and get the stupid prize

why was my first post deleted?

Looks like one of the rgl head speds has tftv admin too

i mean, yeah, thats how most leagues work

not saying the actions are good but banning in tf2 has usually just been limited to cheating, ban evasion, or account sharing (which bowl did I guess. what was the ban for the other person from though?)

Dope was banned for cheating, racists slurs and interrupting events with racial slurs as his steam name. Anyone associated and stupid enough to be like him should be banned permanently.

Look at the Red Demoman.

The first "ban" for bowl of mayo wasn't really a ban. It was just a way of rgl saying they didn't endorse his selfish actions. The second ban is completely deserved, as bowl spends 80% of his free time trying to figure out how to harass exaflamer with dope, as well as leaking connect and just being a general nuisance to the hl league because his best friend got banned. I know he takes sixes super seriously, hes a very committed person when its something he cares about. But this ban was 100% warranted, and if Bowl wasn't who he was in the highlander and sixes community it would have been issued earlier.

Yes this is a fantastic motto to run a league with, ban people for being friends with problematic players!

RGL has also issued warnings to friends of scratch for the crime of... being friends with scratch.

But scratch's friends arent banned, dope's friends arent banned, they were just warned to not act like scratch or dope. Bowl of mayo acted like dope so hes banned.

I know plenty of people who interact with dope on a daily basis and haven’t gotten banned. Bowl got banned because of repeated dumbass behavior. Being friends/associated with dope wont get you banned (if I’m wrong ban me I guess). As long as you don’t do a lot of stupid shit you’re fine.

I played on a team with scratch in s28. i live in constant fear

man maybe someone from rgl should explain what happened before it turns into a hate train haha o wait oops

why did jetz shitpost first, defend himself second, and not give any more info on why the ban actually happened? admins please act like admins

man, sigafoot really out here stomping bigots
