Round 1: He and kitty were calling each other out. I assumed he was traitor when Kitty turned up inno.
Round 2: I was traitor and he was in Kitty's last words, hell yes I went along with it.
Round 3: I said don't trust him because people that were near to him just stop responding. Someone asked "KOS Malak?" and i said "No" about 3 times.
The round we were traitors (round 3) I said "I don't trust Malak" that is in no way a reason to kill you. You were killed by Vex'd and then he turned on me because we were together.
Also round 3 would not have caused him to loose karma because he was a traitor and didn't shoot any innos. I was asked to ban him after round 3, I said no. (Tendovvi asked).
I waited 3 rounds to allow his 680 karma to go above 700, in 2 rounds it sunk to 637. So in 2 rounds he went below 600 and I gave him time to get it to an acceptable level. 2 rounds later it sunk another 40 points. One of which he was a traitor.
Alright, I'm going to put in my two cents.
Two ways to spin this:
1. (Unban) Towersheep did call him out the first two times, but one was because of a misunderstanding, and the other because he was blamed by a T (which, I never slay for). The third time would be a slay on the person who said "KOS Malak," not Malak or Towersheep. Some people like to take things out of context. So, his karma dropping because of this is not ban-worthy, even though it was below 700. I've had misunderstanding and been blamed before, which my karma has spiked many times, but I always lay low, and even when someone is shooting at me or calling me out, I just let them kill me and have them in my last words so I don't take any more karma-hits. Now saying that, I'm moving on to the second way to spin this.
2. (Ban stays) I don't exactly understand what Towersheep was trying to say (he did not put a number for your karma), but I think it was under 600.. like 597? He did try to give you time to raise your karma, but yet somehow it continued to drop? Even on a T round you couldn't get it back up? From that, it seems as if you weren't being as careful as you should have been, knowing what your karma currently was. I can understand fire-fights and having a T walk into your knife or shot, but if you're cautious and paying attention, you can avoid that easily.
Now, considering what I said first (the karma not being ban-worthy), and looking at how little his karma dropped after Tower had given him a second chance, I don't think he should remain banned. Yes, his karma was low, but there was a reason for that. I don't have any logs or explanation as to why his karma continued to drop the other rounds. And looking at how little it was (40 points or so) over several rounds, I don't think it was anything serious. 1 RDM is like 60-100 karma (not too sure about this, but I know it's more than 40). Most likely some misfires or a fire-fight. So, please unban him.
To Malak: I would recommend being extremely careful if someone is calling you out. When someone calls me out, I ask why, and if it's a poor reason, I KOS them instead. Sometimes saying "if you kill me, you'll be taking a karma-hit" prevents people from killing you, but if they do shoot at you, don't shoot back (IF your karma is low) and leave last words. Also, be aware of your surroundings! NEVER knife a person when there are other T's around you or throw a semtex. Try to be careful when killing an innocent or a confirmed T around others, and always, always, always have a reason behind killing anyone when you aren't a T. If you notice your karma dropping fast, just kill yourself in console at the start of the round to be safe, or have an excellent T round for a karma boost.
I like seeing older players.
