Reporting ItzDxmian for PvP in the greenhouse

My in-game name: Dave Harper

My username: dave_icaria

Player I'm reporting: ItzDxmian

Reason: Player was in the greenhouses killing Puffskeins, I went in to farm as well and went to the other side of the greenhouse, figuring that I could sit on one side and farm there. He walked over to a puff I had started killing and killed it, telling me "Don't get in my way" and telling me to leave, threatening to kill me. I was training Bombarda to get to tier 4, and just kind of waited until he went back to his side to start farming again, but then he ran back over and began casting some spell on me that hit me like a dozen times, and took down about a third of my health. I would have died if Fance hadn't given me 5 extra hearts earlier, which let me exit at 3hp (1.5 hearts). SelfieSheep healed me and then instructed me to post here.

Approximate time: 1:10-1:20pm EST (13:10-13:20 EST)

Alright so Liam told me to post my version here. I do admit to saying ''I will kill you'' and ''Don't get in my way'' I was angry when I said the first one mainly because he stood right on top of the puffskeins making me have to go somewhere else to kill a puffskein. The second one was a warning because I knew my Vulpes was strong. I never hit him ''a dozen times'' I can see why he thought this because a nonverbal vicis can be very strong. He also hit me a couple times with his bombarda. I am sorry if you took this the wrong way and I apologize. I might of hit you while killing puffskeins on accident because I jump around a lot while casting because i'm a daft geezer  Either way you look at this I look bad. I will gladly accept any punishment I receive whether or not if it is a ban because I will make a ban appeal afterwards because I like this server very much and hope the best for the players on it. I have killed people accidentally on this server with vicis before but this was an accident and I have apologized to them. The reason I didn't apologize while you were on because we were having an argument on what had happened and then you posted the report and straight after you logged off.

I'm not banning someone over a dispite over puffskeins -.-

Excuse me.

 

When we were online, you did NOT admit to hitting me even once, you lied about having NEVER killed players before, you denied having EVER told me that you were going to kill me, but on here you apologize and admit to everything? What gives? If you had just apologized to me earlier none of this would have happened, and you had PLENTY of opportunity to do so since I logged out around 1:28EST, which was a good 10-15 minutes after this had occurred. You hit me 4 times or so, leaving me at 1.5 hearts, but every one spell you cast hit me a dozen times which is what I said. "The second one was a warning", are you unaware that even "warnings" are illegal? You cannot cast spells on other players without consent, and NOTHING gives you the right to every single mob in that greenhouse. You're year 5 and you're thinking that gives you the right to bully someone who got 2nd-year TODAY, and you would have killed me had I not gotten out of the PvP zone before you were able to. "I'm sorry you took this the wrong way", don't try to fix the blame for you trying to kill me on me. You clearly stated that you had cast on me as a warning, so you obviously did it intentionally, so you're obviously lying once again by saying I "took this the wrong way". Your entire post is nothing but trying to cover yourself so you don't get punishment, and you're doing that by telling blatant and obvious lies.

EDIT: No, I don't think you should be banned, I don't want you banned. I think you should be punished in some form as this caused me major inconvenience and, quite frankly, is behavior that isn't expected of someone who's been on the server so long.
You admitted to telling me you were going to kill me.
You admitted to casting nonverbal Vicis on me intentionally.

This is just putting 2 and 2 together. Someone doesn't tell someone else they're going to kill them, and then cast lethal spells on them, unless their intention was to kill them.
 

Here is my two cents:

Days upon days go by, and tiny disputes over Puffskeins happen daily. The Greenhouse is only so big, and there's only so many Puffskeins to go around at a time. My advice to stronger players that of you have been farming an area for a while and some other people want a turn, let them get some, share the areas. And if it's someone who can kill a Puffskein in 5 seconds, leave the harmless mobs to newer players and go farm Toadstools or Spiders. Tl;Dr: If you're strong and a weaker player wants to farm Puffskeins, be kind and allow them to have a turn to be fair and to avoid issues.

Second point: There is NO need for someone to cast a damaging spell or even a harmful spell on someone. If someone is casting on you, DO NOT retaliate. Instead, either exit the area so they cannot cast at you and bring it to a Moderator/the forums, or of that's not possible, make use of Protego, it's in the Standard Book of Spells. Deflecting a spell is much better than casting on them in return. Also, in the case of a strong player casting something like a Vicis Vulpes, that's just pushing people around. Tl;Dr: Do not cast on people no matter the reason, either block, exit the area, or a combination of the two, and inform Staff in some way.

I hope this prevents some future solutions, because I'm tired of these disputes that can be settled easily in a different manner.

Protego never occured to me, I just ran out. I'll try to remember it in the future, thanks for your post Andrew.

I not sure how much validity my testimony will hold being as I don't have screenshots, but Damian killed me using this spell awhile ago while I was practicing baubillious in greenhouse 4. I didn't report it because I couldn't get screenshots (and the chat logs don't show anything because he casts non-verbally), but I figure since someone else is bringing it up I should too. 

 

Naturally his response was "omg sorry it was an accident" but when you're standing on a rock on the opposite side of the greenhouse that seems kind of fishy. I mean, I'd understand if I hit him, but I wasn't casting it remotely in his direction. He literally just ran up and killed me, it was totally out of the blue. 

 

I wouldn't consider this a report on it's own, I'm just backing up Dave on this. The whole "it was an accident" excuse shouldn't work more than a few times. 

Damian is my friend, and he would never do something like that on purpose. Sure, he's casted on me accidentally before, but I forgave him immediately afterward. But, if Damian was trying to get me killed then I would have a problem with that (unless I'm joking around with him).

 

@Bjor, whenever I cast Vicis Vulpes, and somebody is just jumping around me in Greenhouse 4, the Forbidden Forest, or even the Astronomy Library, they get hit and I end up using Episkey (it heals them by at least 6 hearts per cast) on them. You have to be near the "flare" to take damage from the spell. I have been hit multiple times as well by many other players, but payed no mind to it since I was well aware it was an accident. Honestly, I don't think this should bother you so much since it happened once. Also, you admitted to hitting Damian by accident. If people accept the idea that you hit Damian by accident, then others should have no reason to doubt Damian's side of the problem.

"he would never do something like that on purpose."

Sorry, he admitted to it in his own post. You denying it now is inconsequential.

Bjor's report isn't the only one I've heard either, since making this thread I've heard from 5 different people that he has either killed them or tried to kill them, including:

"Damian just kills everyone he can"
"Everyone knows Damian kills first-years"
"Even his own house is upset at him when he does it"

Perhaps you don't know him as well as you think. In any case, this thread was posted to report one singular instance and has served that purpose, could a Staff member decide on punishment and then lock the thread? Thanks.

@GabyGirl1010 I said "I mean, I'd understand if I'd hit him, but I wasn't casting remotely in his direction." I never hit him with the spell. 

Not to mention, unless his vulpes is capable of doing 20 damage, he cast the spell at me multiple times. After one time you'd think he would've stopped. Also, during the entire incident, I was stationary. I wasn't jumping in front of him or anything like that. 

 

I don't have a personal vendetta against the guy or anything, but it's off putting if players can't farm puffskeins (which is one of the only ways to efficiently make money for newer players) without being scared of older players basically bullying them out of the area. If anything, I'm just tired of that behavior in general, and Damian isn't the only one guilty of it. 

 

I'm not going to buy the mistake argument, but eventually people learn from their mistakes, right? If you're to the point of casting a spell nonverbally, you should know the area the spell is going to impact and at least take some caution so other players aren't hit. It's understandable if someone is just figuring out the spell, but when it's someone like Damian who seems to have a strong grasp of spell mechanics and skill in casting spells, the mistake excuse falls a little flat. 

"he would never do something like that on purpose."

Sorry, he admitted to it in his own post. You denying it now is inconsequential.

Nobody in Ravenclaw is upset at him... Whoever told you that might just be trying to "prove" a point. 

 

Also, he admits to saying "I will kill you." I read over his post a dozen times and have not seen him admit to casting on you on purpose. Damian said, "I might of hit you while killing puffskeins on accident..." 

I have casted Vicis Vulpes 700-800 times and I admit to accidentally hitting people with it, but like I said before, I cast Episkey on them. 

 

"Perhaps you don't know him as well as you think." I find many things wrong in that statement. I'm one of his only close female friends on the server, and it annoys me to hear somebody say that I don't know him very well. Maybe you should try to get to know him better before accusing him of not being sincere when he apologizes. 

Your friend Damian took me from 15 hearts to 1.5 in about 3 or 4 casts, all of which were directed at me, and all of which following the statement "I will kill you"

Here's a scenario to consider:
A person is walking through the park when another person comes out from behind a tree holding an axe, and the person says "I will kill you" and then proceeds to hack the other man's arms off, before police and an ambulance arrive and stop him from killing the man (luckily both the man's arms were able to be re-attached no problem). Later, in court, the axe-man states that he never had intended to cause harm to the first man, he had only hacked the first arm off as a warning after all, and he was definitely just sorta swinging in the general area. He HAD chased the other man quite some distance, but he definitely wasn't aiming to harm him.

I really hope you don't think the axe-man's story will fly.

In any case, this thread needs a lock.
