wrongfully banned Options

[Pollux]

Hello all, I'm sure some of you know me. I've been playing on your base servers (mostly Tuchola and Barb) off and on for the past few years. I've enjoyed many good games with you guys. I wish I was introducing myself under better circumstances, however that's not the case. About 10 minutes ago I was banned from the stock server for "attempted team kill of admin". Let me say this, I am not a team killer, never have been. What happened was an accident. I was driving a jeep away from some german tanks in the middle of Foy when I heard a sniper shot to my right. I have very quick reflexes and sometimes don't check all of my surroundings. I think I inadvertantly bumped someone. Appearenty I hit (but did not kill because I checked the console) Cross of Iron. About 15 seconds later (as I was chasing down the sniper) I was perma banned from the server. I received no warning, no questioning as to whether what happened was an accident, just banned. Anyways, I appologize for my error, but please realize it was in way intentional. If I could be unbanned I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks for your time and, of course, running the best servers in UO.

Thanks for your support guys. After all the games I've played I knew someone out there would remember me. I thought about this last night and I'm fairly sure this is what happened step by step.

1) I was a passenger in the jeep as it headed towards axis through the Foy village.

2) The driver bailed out, I assume it was due to the 2 panzers on the far side of the axis bridge heading towards the village. I'm not sure why the guy bailed, but that's the only thing I can think of.

(This must have been when Cross was hit the first time)

3) My friend (who was on teamspeak) needed a ride.

4) I quickly grabbed the jeep and started heading back in the opposite direction to the allied spawn area.

5) About 3 seconds later I heard a shot, maybe it was a sound glitch or maybe something on TS caused it, but I'm positive I thought I heard something sniper related.

6) I bailed out while I was looking to my right towards the building near the MG-42 house. I knew there was infantry on the road, but I thought I was clear from anyone.

(This must have been when Cross was hit or nearly hit a second time)

I know this story sounds crazy, but I wouldn't lie about something like this. I'm not a troublemaker or team killer. I would never try to intentionally kill someone like that, let alone an MOB admin. Had I known that Cross of Iron had been hit, I would have came right back to the road and killed myself so he could get his health back. Once again I am sincerely sorry for my part in this misunderstanding. I guess there's not much more I can say. I've tried to explain everything as best I can. And thanks again to those who vouched for me. That means a lot to me.
