Hi,
I am coming here a to vent a little about an encounter I had with your own tonight in #5 on Death Island. At start I paired up with a teammate in a rocket hog. I was driving. We were approaching first nav when an enemy chain hog was approaching simultaneously from the opposite direction. We were both attacking each other. My gunner missed all 3. We passed them at first nav and were continuing to be shot. My gunner was killed and I was still under attack.
I was rounding the corner by the rocks and got my 2nd nav. I then swung 90-degrees right, jumped out and hid behind my hog in a "crouching" position near the cliff face. I was not doing this to camp and throw a nade at them. I was simply hiding because really, there was no where for me to drive and hide at that point. As they approached 2nd nav, their driver, upon seeing me, immediately turned hard right and proceeded to run me over. Shortly after I re-spawned, your Admin (name withheld) accused me of "crouching" in the server. I understand crouching to be an instant ban offense when you are doing it on another (dead) player, not when you are "ducking" to avoid enemy fire.
I respectfully spat of a couple of sentences to him arguing that I was not "crouching" but that I was "avoiding YOUR fire." He then proceeded to tell me to drop the caps. I was upset, so I left the server. I feel he was being overly detailed about the "crouching" rule and actually rude and in the wrong about it. I did not break any rules according to my understanding...in fact, I could have thrown a nade and attacked them according to rule 7.2!!!! Instead, I chose to hide by ducking behind my hog until the threat passed. I got chased down and then accused of breaking a rule for trying to play clean.
