I also prefer to play rounds rather than just watch them, since if I launch css it's to "play" not to simply "watch". That's why I prefer practice over theory.
    You’re playing on an Ibis server - people throwing insults for you using an item incorrectly is to be expected. Actually, quite a few people know how to use their wands. I can list some off the top of my head if you like (non-admins, of course). Part of getting good at the game is by spectating people to see what they’re doing and how successful they are. I can guarantee you if you spec someone who knows what they’re doing and you actually pay attention you will learn a few things.

    That’s fine, but it wasn’t just one person who had a problem with your wand use. If I recall correctly it was 3 or 4, plus myself. Again, if you just watch people in spectator mode you will learn a few things about how to use your wands.

    And that’s fine, I know (at least Avada) is bugged, but I do recall you using it at the wrong time (beginning of the round). Dying with an item isn’t trolling, it’s just inexperience. I don’t really care about that - it sucks and it can set us back quite a bit when someone with a good wand dies but we have to get over that and continue the round. Although I will say that if you’re prone to dying maybe you shouldn’t be picking up wands in the first place, for the aforementioned reason.

    That’s not true at all, I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, if you go into spectator you will learn how to use your wands. I understand the first 4-5 times we play the map people will be inexperienced but the people who know how to play the map now know how to use their wands and do so correctly. I recommend (so that you don’t get yelled at) spectating people.

    Then maybe you shouldn’t pick up wands if you’re not willing to learn how to use them. This only strengthens my reasoning for ebanning you. I couldn’t care less about ’stealing’ a wand that doesn’t even belong to the whiner.

    I apologize if I came across as though I were blaming only you for us losing our rounds, that’s not the way I meant for that to sound, nor is it what I meant. I understand that some people use Push too early, or avada gets used and then zombies run away and no one gets killed by it, or heal activates just that second too late and everyone gets killed or ammo, instead of using their wand sits next to the boss with a knife in one hand and a thumb up their ass. Shit happens. People are stupid. People make mistakes.

If I require that unrestrict it's of course to enjoy using items, but also cause I can claim I have the skills to use them on most ze maps (Westersand / Paramina / Skyrim etc) for I have played countless hours on those maps (fewer on HP ofc since it's just been released), thus helping the team to reach victory on zombie escape maps. If the period I spent personally to learn how to use some wands on your server caused you trouble then I can only apologize for that. However you should know that had never been my intention.
    I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again, I really think you need to go watch a few rounds from spec and pay attention to how certain wands are used. Once you’ve done that I don’t have any problem with you being unbanned. I did at first think you were trolling with the items (avada at round start), and then I came to read your post and noticed that you actually have some legitimate points and I’m trying to bring up a few of my own. Inexperience is fine, but you have to learn at some point but trial and error only sets us back. Can you imagine if new people joined the server every day and just picked up wands without knowing how to use them? (oh, wait … )

    EDIT: I would also like to add that not having access to a wand does not mean that you can't play the map. You seem to think they go hand in hand.
