Hi. Sorry about that delay. I just got back home.
First of all, I have never kicked/slayed for no reason. I was playing on PL US with Xena, who is, of course, a regular on that server, as am I. I heard someone on the mic say something akin to, "stop complaining and just play." I was playing, so I hadn't noticed anything, so I decided to look into it. I saw Xena in chat complaining about the map, but, I thought, surely she is still playing the game. I think they were actually talking about "jessisduhbest," who was also talking about trying to rtv and hating the map, but I saw Xena complaining about the map too. Complaining may not be the right word there, as we all have maps we hate, and there's nothing wrong with that.
PAYLOAD+ | US | Fast 08/14/2016 - 08:58:43 PM UGC Ms Xena It's dumb.
PAYLOAD+ | US | Fast 08/14/2016 - 08:58:39 PM UGC Ms Xena I HATE THIS MAP
So, in an attempt to just move the conversation along, I said:
PAYLOAD+ | US | Fast 08/14/2016 - 08:58:50 PM RMSniper oh well, just play
Then the conversation went on:
PAYLOAD+ | US | Fast 08/14/2016 - 09:00:16 PM UGC Ms Xena I donate here. I can waste a slot if I want.
PAYLOAD+ | US | Fast 08/14/2016 - 09:00:09 PM turtle tamer rtv
PAYLOAD+ | US | Fast 08/14/2016 - 09:00:04 PM UGC Ms Xena Fuck off.
PAYLOAD+ | US | Fast 08/14/2016 - 09:00:03 PM RMSniper you're wasting a slot
PAYLOAD+ | US | Fast 08/14/2016 - 08:59:58 PM RMSniper xena just play
PAYLOAD+ | US | Fast 08/14/2016 - 08:59:41 PM Danger on*
PAYLOAD+ | US | Fast 08/14/2016 - 08:59:31 PM UGC Ms Xena Heck why I don't want to waste my time of this shit
PAYLOAD+ | US | Fast 08/14/2016 - 08:59:03 PM UGC Ms Xena Don't tell me how to live my life
What happened in between those moments was this:

As you can see, I died three times in between 8:58:39 and 8:59:51. While this was only a minute and a half span, as shown above, I had seen Xena (she has a pretty recognizable loadout; it's pretty cute) in spawn not doing anything. I was now suspicious that she was deciding to sit in spawn and not play, considering what she had been saying about not liking the map (they had been trying to rtv, and, IIRC, there was only a couple minutes left in the round at this point). Hence, as shown above in the chat, I told her to just play and not waste a spot. Instead of denying my claim, she simply told me to fuck off and that she donates so she can waste a slot if she wants. I took that as plenty of proof that, by her own admission, she was indeed wasting a slot and was ignoring my telling her to not do that (it was 16v16, so server was indeed full). I kicked her with reason "wasting slot" immediately after that, as shown in events log: "
PAYLOAD+ | US | Fast 08/14/2016 - 09:00:23 PM Disconnected"
She came back a couple seconds later, and I spoke using admin chat (so it's not logged in chat), as she was, naturally, upset about being kicked:
PAYLOAD+ | US | Fast 08/14/2016 - 09:01:44 PM UGC Ms Xena Thank you very much.
PAYLOAD+ | US | Fast 08/14/2016 - 09:01:40 PM UGC Ms Xena I have been playing.
I believe she was replying to me saying I kicked her for wasting a slot. After she said, "I have been playing. Thank you very much," I said something like (and this is paraphrased, as I don't remember word-for-word), "It's possible I was wrong, and you were playing, but I asked you to stop, and you simply ignored me and said you could do what you wanted."
That's when she replied with:
PAYLOAD+ | US | Fast 08/14/2016 - 09:02:13 PM UGC Ms Xena Whatevver. Power hungry.
My apologies for typing that in admin chat that time, as, sadly, admin chat is not logged.

She does appear to have been playing/dying shown above. That, however, is not what I saw when I continually saw her in spawn, along with her saying, "I can waste a spot if I want to."
Now, the only thing here that could have gone differently is this:
I could have gone to spec, seen if she continued to complain about the map and not play, waited a solid 3+ minutes to see if it continued, then kicked her. I, of course, chose to simply go off seeing her in spawn for that minute+, typing and complaining about the map, and essentially saying, "I can waste a spot if I want," and I took that as plenty of evidence of her not playing.

I apologize for kicking you, when, based off logs, it did appear you were playing; however, I do not appreciate you painting a completely one-sided picture without attempting to explain your side of the story, because all I got that night was, "fuck off. I donate, so I do what I want." I actually recall saying in admin chat, "While we definitely appreciate your donation, it does not mean you are allowed to waste a slot." When a server is 32/32, you're complaining about the map being horrible, and I am continually seeing you in spawn typing for over a minute, as well as you telling me you can waste a slot if you want, this was a clear signal to me that you were wasting the slot when plenty of other people would love to come on PL US, regardless of the map. I hope you can see how your words and actions appeared to me, and why I did what I did. You weren't banned or silenced or anything; it was simply a kick as a warning to please stop.

Lastly, I have not even played on GR LA in probably a month, and I definitely haven't played with TCA Engy in longer than that. He has a history of telling people I am a bitch and this and that when I'm not even there, and I have not even played with him lately. The other regs do come to tell me that. I do not appreciate your attempt to slander my reputation by joining on this bandwagon (and without proof), when I have not even played with you in a while, I have never kicked for no reason, and you have a history of not liking me. You sound more like you're trying to slander me, rather than trying to add anything constructive to this conversation.

Let me know if you have any further questions about the incident, Xena, but I hope you can see, as shown above, why I did what I did, and that it was not for no reason, as it appeared to me.
