Inprov is a lethal drug when fed to in significant quantities like you were doing, I listened to your claims spoke with you and you made it quite clear you did not want to speak with me, but a higher ranking staff member and i also informed you the wiki page you linked was wrong, and linked you the correct page, ODing someone on any drug causes harm.
Well then the solution should be to fix the wiki page, and not ban the people following what the wiki says.
When I'm looking at the wiki, and it tells me one thing, then a trial admin tells me something else, my first inclination is the rookie does not know what he's doing, not that the wiki, that's never been wrong before, is wrong.
I'm sorry if you took offence to that. It's really rare that the wiki is wrong.
This needs to be fixed.

Alright, let us wrap this up. Taketheshot didn't breach any protocols when he placed this ban. It was a three-hour ban placed when you almost killed a guy from OD (even if it wasn't the intent), and then started to light the guy up with incendiary pistol ammo. You also heavily argued with the staff on the server, which we tell people not to do. While I can't speak for DrDoctor1, it did not seem like he was cool with you trying to kill him in two attempts. Taketheshot is not being punished for this ban and the ban placed stands as is. In the future, don't try to just kill people, even if you are a medic. We'll update the wiki page. Resolved.
Ban Appeal Users: If I've lifted your perma ban and you're still unable to log onto the server, send me a forum PM regarding it and I'll work to get it fixed in ~24 hours.

Emerald Blood: CM's mommy and the only head staff who does anything. Even though I hate you all sometimes, I still love you.

Right, I've just returned from my vacation, and appreciate Emerald resolving this while I was away. I'm gonna go ahead and affirm her ruling and add a quick note. The rules are intended to be applied by the letter and the spirit. We specifically wrote them to be widely applicable when we need to handle an issue.
