This might not have much use, but I wanna try.
Today 06/14 around 12:30am we were playing on Dolls. I was an Innocent, Tony was a Detect and KJ was a Traitor. Anyway, Tony randomly dced from the game and he came back on right away. Anyway, he messaged me on steam and said he had DNA proof the KJ had killed someone but his game crashed before he was able to say it. By that point KJ and I were the only two people left. I had just received the message and when I got back into the game and turn to my left KJ was above me. We had a quick firefight and I ended up winning it. Not thinking it was a big deal I proceeded to tell them that Tony had proof on them before he DCed from the game. He then proceeded to get banned by shadow. I tried to explain all this to KJ and Shadow but they continued to just tell me it was ghosting. I understand the rules as much as tony does, he does not know I am writing this and I am not even sure it will do any good. I didn't tell them " hey I killed kj cause tony told me he had proof" Which I don't think was a big deal anyway. KJ shot at me first and I proceeded to kill him, we were the last two left. Regardless Tony and I are long time players. We met through this server and game and we only ever communicate on steam. I understand that ghosting is usually a perma ban, But Its not like we did any of this intentionally. KJ dying also had nothing to do with the information I received. I feel so bad for tony, I just told everyone cause I thought it was ironic how he got the proof then DCED yet again. I tried to explain this to both Shadow, Who I have a ton of respect for, And KJ. But they both refused to listen to me and banned him for two weeks. Again. I love this server and after trying to play on some others it really is the best. Tony deserves to be unbanned, he didn't even have the chance to defend himself. It was a huge misunderstanding and I hope it gets solved.
