Well I created a forum account the other day because I could see this coming. Thompson has been consistently on my case for weeks with hacking accusations and threats, usually after I have killed him a few times. I've been forced to spectate in the middle of a round on numerous occasions, forced to the other team, and frankly harassed since he became an admin. I've tried to explain to him that I'm clean as a whistle and just a better player after 15 years of playing base assault, but that doesn't seem to help. I've encouraged him to spectate my play, what he views as a wallhack is simply wrong, just superior knowledge of the game. But I get it, I'm consistently top scorer and I can see why others would question me, so I usually choose to be the bigger person and stay silent to avoid any unnecessary conflict in the server.
Just earlier we were playing Italy and I had a hot start, 45-4 or something like that. Our team was performing well and had the upper hand. Thompson started his usual yapping and I tried to ignore him but this time other H members were chiming in. In past altercations other H members have mostly supported me so I began to get concerned. I felt I needed to start defending myself in chat but I stayed respectful as always. Just a few minutes later I was temporarily banned, apparently for spawn killing. I'm well aware of the server rule of no spawn killing and I adhere to it. In this specific instance I was attacking the Allies base #3 in Italy on foot. I was approaching base 3 from the center of the map and their spawn point happened to be between me and base 3. I killed several players soon after they ran out of the spawn house as they were between me and the base, I was surrounded and being fired upon but managed to kill them all. As I continued on towards Allies base 3 I noticed a player was on the roof of the Allies base 3 spawn house and so, not wanting to get shot in the back, turned around and attempted to eliminate the threat. I lost the gun battle and was killed (ironically by Redsnake, lol). Another H member who was spectating me accused me of spawn killing and I was promptly temp banned, presumably by Thompson.
I recognize that I am a skilled player. I encourage anyone to spectate me if they have suspicions. I have nothing to hide. I have been nothing but respectful to admins despite being harassed and bullied by Thompson for the past month or so. But to be clear, I don't think that Thompson is a bad admin. I used to be an admin back in the day, it's not an easy job. Unfortunately he just doesn't like me for whatever reason, I don't understand....I just want to play a game that I've rediscovered a love for and appreciate all that H does to help keep the game alive. I hope you'll consider this appeal. Thank you.
