Story/Situation - What happened?
So I was in a 'Special Arms Race' event with Callum, where we were using special weapons such as the ASMD mini2 rocket. These weapons have incredible power and can instantly kill players, making death unintentional. starting i had no problem with the weapons at the start but as we progressed i got to the gencorp core grenade and callum the jet gun the unique aspect of this stage was that callum had to get as close to me as possible to kill me, unlike the Gencorp grenade, which is thrown from a distance, and this proximity, combined with the need to throw grenades, sometimes resulted in unintended deaths.
For example, I threw a few grenades into the sky, intending them to explode and land on Callum. However, the delay in their explosion got me killed. Callum immediately accused me of exploiting the game, without discussing the situation or considering that it was unintentional. I didn't take his accusations seriously because I thought he was joking.
As the game progressed and I unlocked the Tgun and Company, I realized that I needed to be near Callum to use these weapons effectively. His gun had a short firing range, while mine had a far firing range. Shooting from a distance was not an option as he was constantly closing in on me. Despite the circumstances, Callum continued to claim that my actions were an exploit, only because having this suicide restores health.
In my opinion, this accusation of exploitation is totally unfounded. The involuntary act of committing suicide in an instant kill event, so the hit points are 100 or 25, has no significance in the grand scheme of the game compared to the traditional arms race. These weapons have the potential to inflict over 100 points of damage, making the difference between an intentional or unintentional kill.
Extra Information - Anything you would find relevant to your punishments(s)?
To begin with, callum is based on a precise point of the event and not on its totality and we notice just at this moment that I committed suicide so he says that it is an exploit and warns me without verbal and without explanation of his part while I was confused and thinking it was a joke on his part.
First on this so-called "exploit" since it refers to the past so instead of researching/confirming via a close staff to get more information, he decides to warn me without further reflection.
also, even if it was "exploiting", he could have relied on the attention i had during the event instead of just relying on what he sees, which could just be unintentional or different compared to the whole event since it was a "jet gun vs a grenade" and it was this step that caused the problem.
You can also see in the evidence below that supports a fact that I explained the fact that I committed suicide with my grenade and instead of basing this on an involuntary action he wants to warn me because it is an exploit as i had 0 recent for a long time without breaking the rules so not verbalizing this and not wanting the two player version of settling this in a more equal and not unequal way would be more enjoyable and cooperative
Besides, I talked about the situation in Chute and Dutch and Chute offered to talk about it with Callum to have more clarity on the situation and to have global points of view, so that's what I 'have done. but callum didn't even interact with me when i asked him and i shared his downfall and he told me he asked him to tell me about it but still no reply
