I get what the OP is saying and commend the player for what is trying to be said. But...I was kind of hoping for some really off the wall builds. I'm not much of a meta player either, it bores me and isn't that difficult to figure out in this game. Mostly, it isn't fun to me. Odd builds are more exciting. Drop some more odd loadouts everyone!

Could someone give us a TL;DR version of that 18 minutes video?

- he used to TK a lot
- he used to rage at people in chat and voip a lot
- he finally got permabanned
- he thinks it's unfair, because he calmed down, but people kept reporting him
- he talks about how PGI is awful, this game is awful, and this community is awful
- he says nobody will have the balls to play solaris, and thinks PGI knows this and therefore won't release solaris
- flaunts his KDR, and that everybody who he's ever butted heads with is just scrubs
- "you guys are welcome for the state of SRMs in the game" implying that it was all about him
- he tells us a story about a time he TKd somebody, and then doxxes him with name and picture for those that didn't know
- he thanks his supporters
- he plans to continue releasing battletech related content, possibly MWO mech reviews in the future

Warned by PGi several times about language and Team Killing/Team Damage, try to lay low for a while, apparently while trying out an AC20 macro team damaged another player, which turned into a Team Kill fest... and is now Banned. Thinks there was some conspiracy to get rid of, but no big deal does not care about game anymore... but made 18 min video talking about how much he does not care about game anymore.

Kristian, I would work towards getting rid of that alt account you made just to post, but since you made it apparently to clarify why the series is over, it can stay.

But be warned, if it continues posting, going to have to put it down.

That is interesting because PGI has said it is fine for Banned players even the ones banned for cheating to make a new account, so why would you shut his alt down?

In all likelihood the Breaking the Meta Series is over. For those that are curious why:





Thanks to everyone that supported my channel.

You got banned for verbal abuse over Voip, TKing, and all around douchbaggery (you actually admit to doing those things)..

Then say that the ban is no big deal because you have lost interest in the game anyway, but yet made a 20 minute video about it....

Then close by saying that we can petition PGI to release your ban because it was not legit..

I dont know man. You seem like the type that would deserve a ban if youre the kind of player that verbally attacks other players for not playing the way you want them to, and will TK/Team Damage those that oppose you.

And by the way, I think its pretty bad form to show pictures of other people on these forums just to make fun of the way they look. Not cool man..

I wont be petitioning sh**.

Enjoy your ban. Youre the real scrub here.

He used to pop-shot team mates to try to force them to move forward.

People decided that they hated him.

People got him in trouble with PGI.

He stopped it, disabled VOIP and in-game text chat.

While working on a 2AC20/Gauss macro he accidentally shot a team mate.

That guy shot back. His friend shot back. That guy's friend shot back. The entire match was a mess of TKs.

He was reported again.

People went to his YouTube channel telling him he was banned before he even knew about it.

The end.

[cazidin]

Wow. Another banned poster? I don't know the guy but it seems that ban may've been deserved.

[LT. HARDCASE]

Kristian literally exemplified the worst of this community's behavior. He was being reported long before his ban, and he should've been expunged from the game ages ago.

The video, like real life, just shows that he's a guy who will never accept blame for his actions.

[YourSaviorLegion]

He used to be in the same unit as me and was removed for all the things everyone else already said, so ummm yeah

[Random Carnage]

This was coming for a while. I remember being on the receiving end of this guy once. Full verbal and then he started shooting me. He claimed I was a coward or some sh*t when I was about 20 yards away from his own position and firing right beside him at the same targets. This clown needs to grow up. Zero tolerance? pfft, whatever.

You brought it on yourself.

[Bishop Steiner]

Well.

I can't say I really witnessed any of the TK or Team Dmg shenanigans (not saying they weren't real, just never personally encountered them, though I do laugh at his "I killed Bishop" shtick..... makes a lad feel special...even if it was just vulturing me after his team had done a number on me, lol ;P ) , but he was regularly a wee bit on the abrasive side with other people in chat. That does eventually come back to bite you.

But I mean...he has an alt acct posting on here already.... so... not exactly seeming like the most effective Perma Ban, aside from nuking his Garage.

Ah well. I'll probably earn my own vacation soon enough, lol.

Too bad I really liked the Breaking the Meta Series

We are often our own worst enemy
If he had taken the philosophy that it’s there Mech do what you want

He could have avoided a lot of problems

To make a new account? yes, he's entitled to so. But to work around a ban that prevents him from posting any new content because he was banned? No, I think not.

I've never encountered a situation such as this, so I may be overzealous. Maybe. and we shouldn't be discussing the ban either as it's against CoC. I'll go ask Tina, or GM or Alex to Clarify. In short, I'm saying he can have his account, but not to post here. Get what I'm saying? No hard feelings Kristian, I'm just trying to be fair to everyone, because if someone gets something others can't, it's in a way favoritism.

So Green is a forum mod?

Yes, green is forum mod. Blue is new player, purple/pink is banned, yellow is regular user, and gold is PGI staff.

What is White, what is Red ?

[dervishx5]

It seems to me a lot of the CoC stuff eventually ends up leading more butthurt in the future rather than if people were just allowed to talk things out. Repressing everything rather than allowing the occasional vent is unhealthy.

Is talking about the dumb parts of the CoC against the CoC?

[C E Dwyer]

I'm not really that surprised this happened, having listened to one of his rants at an Atlas player on his own team, it should have come sooner

Thats why his post is still even there. thats why everyone elses posts are still here. I'm thinking of whether the video is allowed or not, to edit the post to just a link to his channel and whatnot.

[LT. HARDCASE]

Banned if I post a video of his in match shenanigans, or no?
