I understand how it can look that way, so let me share from my point of view. There was no refusal from anybody. We were simply taking a break and shifting our focus to something else for awhile, and a lot of people seemed to like it. Hightower is the kind of map that can go on for a very long time before somebody finally captures the payload. Consider this, perhaps being friendly for awhile is advancing our teams position. It's all part of the game, a game which doesn't only have to be kill, kill, kill. May I suggest if friendlying is going to be disallowed, to specify it and not just sweep it under "Refusing to help advance your teams position"? You have to take into consideration that this is a community and we make friends here, and sometimes the friends are going to want to be on the servers they play together without killing each other. It's our virtual hangout place, regardless of what we do. We mean no harm, if anything it's a sign of admiration for the Skial servers because we feel comfortable here.
 
I warned the server that friendlying was against the rules, and not only did you continue to do it, you were encouraging others to do it as well. If you want somewhere to hang out online, you can go to our idle or trade servers.
 
I've never seen such a warning, and I strongly believe that it being against the rules is debatable because of it not being specified in the server rules. "Refusing to help advance your teams position" is too broad of a term and can be applied to many things. Like I said before if it is against the rules, please specify it in the server rules page so there's no further confusion, questions and debate about it. If friendlying isn't allowed and that's Skial's official ruling on the subject then I can accept that and have no desire to go against your judgement, but please make it clearly stated. Until then, even if my ban is one day I believe I and MLGesus should be unbanned on the principal that "no friendlying" isn't a clearly specified rule and we weren't doing anything with malicious intent.
 
You couldn't have missed the warning I gave in game. But I'll say the same to you as I did to MLGesus: agree not to do it again and I'll unban you.
