Robin Wrote:- Major server issues (due to DDOS) disabled Vincent from connecting for almost a day, while others like Demon (position #2) drove 600kms during that time. TC-Administration decided NOT to pause GB3K, nor compensate the unfair advantage in any way. "Real gumball sometimes sucks too, live with it".

Robin Wrote:- Vincent once hit a barrier, and ended up shiny-side-down. TOW truck arrives at the scene, but Stunna, a member from TC-Administration, actually offered money to the tow-truckers when they would NOT put Vincent back up.

Robin Wrote:- Stunna, a member from TC-Administration, tries to demoralize Vincent by accusing him of cheating. The accusations are repeated in public many times, without any form of proof. Stunna even threatens Vincent with disqualification. Stunna asked Vincent to make privacy invading photos of himself and me, our double-computer setup, and our mother, as proof that he's not cheating. We later talked to Lampshade. He agreed that this went too far. But Stunna never even apologized for his behaviour.

Robin Wrote:- TC-Administration heavily questions Vincent about the cheating accusations, but completely ignores that Demon has many more driving minutes.

Robin Wrote:- Byran is Stunna's brother. When discussing the accusations, Byran says in public chat: "So its not just us". TC-administration completely ignores this.

Robin Wrote:- TC-Administrators connect as cops and start picking on Vincent. Not only do they write ridiculous fines, but they also stall Vincent by making the same 'jokes' over and over again.
"Oops i lost my pen, gotta pick it up".
"Which fine do you want, this one, or that one? (equal fines)".
"So you've chosen fine x, can you confirm?".
"Darn, I forgot my notebook, let me get it".

Robin Wrote:- But this is the very best one yet:
Vincent was driving on highway-one at high speed, while demon was keeping to the speedlimit. Vincent lifted the throttle, but accidentally crashed Demon in the back. It was a stupid misjudgement, but Vincent said sorry many times elaborately. Vincent even sent 450 compensation to Demon. Demon sends back only 350, but also files a report containing a big fat lie. TC-administration ignores the fact that some compensation was accepted. TC-administration totally ignores the lie in the report. TC-administration bans Vincent for 5 days. Vincent appeals. After two full days, TC-administration doubles the ban without giving reason. Vincent is now disqualified.

Allthough this is my personal vision, it probably may not be said. So I guess this msg will be deleted and I will get muted. Mark my words.

Lampshade Wrote:Before this spirals into a childish frenzy I'll tell you what we decided.

Your lack of awareness of the road/drivers ahead which caused the accident and then this report was valid. You were never going to make that corner anyway. The fact you also disconnected whilst Stunna was talking to you is disrespectful.

Your unban appeal will therefore be denied.

This means that in accordance with the unban appeal rules your ban will be extended:

Unban Appeal Rules: http://forum.city-driving.co.uk/forumdisplay.php?fid=26 Wrote:You agree that if your appeal is denied, your ban will be extended

Your ban will now be extended to 12 days from the day the ban was issued meaning you have 10 days still to serve.

This also means you're disqualified from Gumball because you're banned for more than 7 days.

You may not post another appeal.

Unban Appeal Denied

Quote:Same as above, already been sorted.

Quote:That's just a joke I believe, they're not driving for eachother.

Quote:This has been dealt with in an unban request and an unban appeal and both have been denied because they are in breach of server rules. It is none of your business to bring this up again.

Unfortunately this won't be possible because Vincent was disqualified.

Some could play. Some could not. For several hours. Who's fault it was doesn't matter. Its an unfair disadvantage.

The server going down was completely random and could have happened to anybody - nobody was targeted, as it was completely random. It wasn't anything personal against Vincent or anybody else that was affected. If Demon had been unable to connect and Vincent was thundering ahead, would you still be complaining about disadvantages? Personally, I've only got back from holiday - should the Gumball have been postponed just for me and anybody else who was away just because we couldn't connect during that time?

At the end of the day, Gumball is just a part of a game that you choose to play with your own free will. TC put a huge amount of effort into the organisation of this event, and for you to spit the dummy out and start crying because Vincent didn't follow the rules is incredibly disrespectful. The rules are pretty clear, and for a family with so much experience on the server, you should know to follow them or action will get taken.

Perhaps you should stop drinking and go outside before you post more shite.

Seriously, how can I win with this disadvantage?

Has there been a punishment or investigation for the people in question (the Byran/Stunna thing, is it investigated?) or is everything being passed with a shrug? Is there a complete closure?

This isn't America; there isn't a big conspiracy going on. There isn't "collusion" to ensure a certain person(s) does/does not win the Gumball.
