Matsi reacted to Warriorsfury in Matsi - Counter-strike
I really don't feel blacklisting someone on a teamspeak channel that someone paid for, should prevent them from getting staff. I feel if you think this is disrespectful to the point where he should be punished / it should be changed, you should possibly review your general outlook on how teamspeak works.
What the fuck even is this? Like what?
I don't care for the little battles you all have with each other, but these two things just make me take a step back and say "what"?
I do agree with this.
As for my vote, i'm not voting.

I geniunely don't believe that giving staff powers to someone who has no trace of using common sense, and someone who gets so pissed about being demoted to the point where he HARASSES the people who decided to demote him
the biggest -1 I'll ever be giving to anyone

Yet the only thing Bello and Rejects would talk about was "idling" and how I was afk, with no proof other than screenshots of me not on a team.
Yes, I stepped down because I was sick of the bias in the division and how certain staff and even DM/DLs didn't know the MOTD. I don't know where you're getting the "threw a hissy fit and told TF2 to fuck off" because that didn't happen at all, I was actually happy to be rid of the responsibilities of dealing with the drama in that division, being able to play without certain people yelling at me for not slaying someone that "freekilled them" and such things.... until more things started happening which I will elaborate next
If you're talking about Bello, I merely talked about him to people that asked about what happened, that's not harassing, that's explaining my side of the story to someone who asks... And I made a status mocking his because it was exactly the thing he banned me for doing.
The only other "certain staff member" I can think of that you're referring was armin, who ended up trying to get me in trouble for having fun in the form of going HHH during a warday and not attacking anyone, as per the rule in the MOTD that was there for several months stating you could behhh or bemerasmus as long as you didnt rebel... this was made worse by the acusations that I did in fact attack people while HHH, which simply was not true and that I had to provide proof that I didn't do or risk getting in trouble... which made me salty and I talked about it for a few weeks because I felt that a staff member shouldn't lie about something like that. This incident caused one of the fun things I liked doing to be changed because it "caused issues".
Yes I argue, I don't agree with what certain people are doing in this clan so I state my opinion about it, people assume some of my statuses or threads/posts are about certain people and sort of instigate things themselves by misinterpreting things. I will admit that I have made a few statuses that sort of instigated things but so do the other peoples. I don't believe I have done such things in threads/posts other than a few talking about how the TF2 servers are less filled with people, which is true.... and the similar one about Overwatch not killing tf2 because tf2 was already dead.
I am not sure where you're getting the in game part from, because that simply doesn't happen.

Assuming the last ban was for an intentional mass freekill (hard to tell with Pacific being gone for years, but given the context in that thread it seems to be the case), I'm going to have to -1 as I did in that last Ban Protest.
You'll always be in my heart bb, and it kills me now as much as it did then to negatively vouch here, but I have to stand by my convictions, however old they may be.

Giving everyone negative ratings doesn't help your case either.
Just shows you are immature and therefore more likely to continue to mass free kill the next time you get mad

Matsi got a reaction from Floppy in Orlando Shooting
In case anyone still hasn't heard about the latest terrorist attack:
An American-born man who'd pledged allegiance to ISIS gunned down 49 people early Sunday at a gay nightclub in Orlando, the deadliest mass shooting in the United States and the nation's worst terror attack since 9/11, authorities said.
* The gunman, Omar Mateen, 29, of Fort Pierce, Florida, was interviewed by the FBI in 2013 and 2014 but was not found to be a threat, the FBI said.
Related coverage
* Mateen called 911 during the attack to pledge allegiance to ISIS and mentioned the Boston Marathon bombers, according to a U.S. official.
* Orlando police shot and killed Mateen.
* Mateen's ex-wife said she thinks he was mentally ill.
Mateen carried an assault rifle and a pistol into the packed Pulse club about 2 a.m. Sunday and started shooting, killing 49 people and wounding at least 53, officials said.
After a standoff of about three hours, while people trapped inside the club desperately called and messaged friends and relatives, police crashed into the building with an armored vehicle and stun grenades and killed Mateen.

Timeline of the Attack
Before 2 a.m. Omar Mateen, a resident of Fort Pierce, a city about 120 miles from Orlando, parked his van outside Pulse, a gay nightclub.
2:02 a.m. He entered the club armed with an AR-15-type assault rifle, a handgun and many rounds of ammunition, and opened fire, said John Mina, the Orlando police chief.
The New York Times; photograph by Chris O'Meara/Associated Press
The gunman went outside at some point after the initial shots were fired, the chief said, then went back inside.
Restrooms Some patrons hid in restrooms, calling police and texting friends and family for help. At some point, police received word from inside the building that at least 15 people were hiding in a restroom.
Patio Ray Rivera, 42, a D.J. at the club, was playing reggae music on the patio when the shooting started. “I thought it was firecrackers,” Mr. Rivera said. But the gunfire did not let up. “I saw bodies on the floor, people on the floor everywhere,” he said.
Main entrance Security was posted at the front entrance, and it is unclear how the gunman entered the club.
Main dance floor Latin music was playing on the main dance floor. The nightclub, which calls itself “Orlando’s Latin Hotspot,” was holding its weekly “Upscale Latin Saturdays” party with three D.J.s and a midnight show.
DeAngelo Scott, 30, said the club was packed. “Every room I went into was full. I had to squeeze through the main room.” He left the club at 1:58 a.m.
Then police marshaled forces, bringing in a SWAT team and an armored vehicle. At some point, Chief Mina said, there was contact with the gunman inside. “There was some communication, but we are not going to release that right now,” the chief said.
It is unknown, he said, whether the gunman was killing others inside the club as the authorities prepared for a confrontation.
“Any time we have a hostage situation, we’re definitely going to use extreme measures to make sure we have enough personnel on the scene,” Chief Mina said.
3 a.m. The club posted a warning on Facebook.
5 a.m. The police began an operation to rescue the people trapped inside. They detonated two explosives to distract the gunman. Eleven officers entered the club, and shots were exchanged. Mr. Mateen was killed. One officer was shot in the head, but his Kevlar helmet prevented serious injury, Chief Mina said. At least 30 people were found alive.
