In the demo, start of map he auto assigned (shot in the dark there) to T, switches to CT. From there he proceeds to rescue hosties for a few rounds and kills himself as Dragonfly. I joined as Mr. Peerson and saw he was a maxed dragonfly (not 100% certain on if its been maxed or just maxed). He plays santa with a pistol against me for a few rounds. I warn him about the XP farming - and tries to brush it off. He then says he could say he was playing with the windows the entire time and that I could check him on this. I told him that there wouldn't be a post if that is ALL he did. Well - here it is. I don't know if I did it right but whatever I guess, close enough for my first request right?

Voted ban for xp farming admitted to it at 50k.
"that's what you were doing right?" (referring to rescuing hosties and toming) - wolf
"yep" -tech9

Need screenies or something of that Locust. More concrete evidence. If so...I'm sure a 3day slap on the wrists inc

[What]

Well its clear from the demo that he does rescue the hostages then uses the money to by tomes, this is clearly seen and heard in his first round. His self slaying is also likely due to him wanting to be able to buy more tomes. He has played here long enough to where he should know that this is against the rules. At the very least he needs to receive a firm warning from an admin, but due to his time here a temp ban would not be completely unwarranted.

[StarsMine]

wait since when was self slay against the rules? Its only against the rules if it takes away the someone else's xp from killing him.

[What]

Not self slaying, slaying in order to buy more tomes while he was xp farming

It was further evidence of him farming, I said nothing about self slaying being against the rules.

you can only buy 5 tomes with a single life
him killing himself allowed him to buy more.

[brett friggin favre]

tomes shouldn't give xp with less than 2 people playing. shouldn't. this is made clear by when the console says: "
[War3Source]
No XP is given when less than 2 players are playing". however, i just tested this on the test server and they do indeed give xp, even with only one person on.

he does admit to doing it for that reason, he also insists it's not against the rules. i'll be adding this player to steam to have a conversation about it with him, but you guys...the protocol is clearly stated in the rule since it was rewritten a while back. warning -> temp ban -> perma ban. we have no evidence that he was warned before this event, or that he continued after the warning. therefore no ban is in order, just a warning. good on you for watching out for this wolf and continue to do so when you can.

if anyone has evidence that he has been warned in the past, please feel free to post it. i'll be closing this in a little while if nothing's been said.

Yea, and if a round is over, you have bought your 5 tomes and your still alive, I am not aware that in that situation it is illegal to slay self to purchase more tomes.
