Harassment and Bullying

Just recently I was getting harassed and bullied by two players on a TF2 server I normally go to. (It has god mode on maps that don't have an objective, i.e. "dm", or death match, maps. Get god mode when you spawn, lose it when you attack or alt attack; shouldn't taunt kill in god mode either.)

It all started on the map mlp_hearths_warming_cabinv2. A blue heavy was waiting outside of red spawn, on top of a fire place, spinning his mini-gun, awaiting anyone to leave though that doorway to kill them. (There is another doorway where players can exit and enter, but that's not the point). Basically spawn camping, which is not allowed on certain type of maps. I would just air blast the heavy off, causing him to be forced down to a table (part of the map, also where the another doorway leads to) and just repeat. He would constantly say "white knight", whatever that was suppose to mean, when I air blasted him off from our spawn. The blue heavy is fully aware of the rules, but kept on doing it anyway.

Eventually the heavy was fed up and would send me a duel request. I rejected, as I saw no point in doing that. Only sending me a duel request after air blasting him away from our spawn? He would constantly spam the request over and over, I would refuse just the same.

Then another player joined in on this, talking down at me for whatever reason, no idea why he decided to get involved. He made statements like "If you accept it you're going to die." Duh much? Plus the reason for this duel was just childish anyway. Wouldn't find it fun to duel someone that got mad from that. Eventually the heavy changed his name just to pick on me. "Blue Sly = Tiny baby man". No idea what I did to cause this guy to be so pissed. He still kept constantly spamming the duel request, with me always denying them, for about 10-15 mins.

I really saw no point in feeding their blind arrogant rage on me. No idea what I've done to the other guy either, he chose to get involved for who knows what. The other player made claims that the server was going to crash if the duel request and denying spam fest continued and would say it would be my fault. So the guy who won't stop sending me the duel request won't be at fault either, despite I kept rejecting it? Some of the other players in the server were getting a bit annoyed by this as it was spamming up chat, but didn't say much to it. (They weren't getting the dueling music at least.)

The other player that got involved said, "I've had enough of your shit," and then started spamming duel requests too, also denying them too. I was spamming the rejection key. I eventually told an admin, who knows them both, about this situation through steam chat in terms of harassment and bullying (he wasn't in the game). He told the blue heavy to stop, changing his name back to normal (I don't know what was actually said, but it did make him stop) and the other guy disconnected.

Didn't really care if I lost, just didn't want to feed their blind arrogant rage. Besides, the game is meant to be fun. Dueling either of them wouldn't be fun. (Plus they're better than me, so what's the point anyway?) Also, currently sick... how low is it to duel someone that is sick, and also not to care if they are sick, so said the other player.

  2. Hey Blue Sly I know that this probably won't change how you feel about what happened or how I act but I am sorry. God sometimes I just do something then the next day it is like oh shit why the hell did I do that. Look I just want you too know that I am sorry not trying to be friends or anything just trying to right a wrong. Oh btw this is trollface but you most likely know that by now. Oh and you can put my Steam name in yourblog.

    1. Rather use alias/nicknames instead of real alias/names, let alone linking them. That's how I prefer to rant/vent or to just get something off my chest in my entries.
