Tiamat's Ban Appeal

[Tiamat_Defender]

Appeal Type (Apology or Dispute): Dispute

Which staff member banned you?: Console

How long is your ban for?: Permanent

Why were you banned?:  Alt Account

Why do you deserve to be unbanned?: When I started up steam I had chosen the wrong steam account:  STEAM_0:0:628920206. When In reality I should have chosen STEAM_0:0:587368298. The steam account that the console has logged as my alt has never played Garry's mod before this nor has it ever connected to the server before.

You were originally banned for MRDM, then tried to alt not once, but twice. I don't see as to why this appeal should be accepted.

Hello Expert, 

My Steam account (Microsoft Access 2016, a nickname for my Tiamat_Defender account) has been running on Prometheus for nearly 2 years. I acknowledge the MRDM ban as valid, but it is irrelevant, as it expired nearly a year ago. I had no bans to evade, nor would I evade a ban. As I said before, during steam startup, I had picked the wrong Steam account. This account has never connected to Prometheus or Garry's Mod until today. I did not ALT a second time. The second alt detection was my main account (The one I have been roleplaying on for almost 2 years and have donated almost $300 on). This appeal, in my opinion, should be accepted because I have no reason to ALT into the server, and it was a simple mistake when choosing the proper Steam account. I appreciate you writing a message on this thread. I believe it. It has helped me clear up some misconceptions.

Hi @Tiamat_Defender,

The Mass RDM ban that is being references is not from the Microsoft Access (Tiamat_Defender) account, but instead the dmathews (STEAM_0:1:205613836) account, which was banned on 1/13/2026 by Major Whoreson. The following is a list of all of the accounts you own and have accessed our server using.

- dmathews (STEAM_0:1:205613836)
- Admiral Bonhardt (STEAM_0:0:628920206)
- Microsoft Access 2016 aka Tiamat_Defender (STEAM_0:0:587368298)

dmathews was banned on 1/13/2026 by Major Whoreson. You then connected to the server on 4/19/26 @ 6:20:21PM UTC with the Admiral Bonhardt account which got it permanently banned for being alt of dmathews. You then connected to the server on 4/19/26 @ 6:54:21PM UTC with the Microsoft Access 2016 account which got it permanently banned for being an alt of Admiral Bonhardt.

You spending money on the server is irrelevant as to why you were alting, you said that your MRDM ban expired an year ago, but you are role-playing in this account for more than two, you yourself have admitted to alting in this occasion.

I can quickly clear up the D. Mathews ban. This is my friend, and we are sharing games. I can provide evidence if this is needed.

Our alt detection system does not ban based off Steam Library game sharing. It's a sophisticated system that does not "guess" if accounts are associated. A number of factors must be true for it to enact a ban. If it determines that the accounts are yours, then they are yours. We've been hearing the "friend" and "brother" excuses for years.

I know how this sounds, but what I am saying is true. If you check our donations, you would see that we have completely different names, IP addresses, and billing addresses, and our Steam accounts confirm that we are two different people. He plays video games I have never even played, owns some of the same games I own, and even games I don't. It would make no sense for someone to purchase the same games on two different accounts. Our CS2 lockers are another way I feel I could prove this. He has purchased some of the same weapons as me, even has weapons I don't have, and has Prime on his account. I know this is really rambly, but I'm attempting to prove my innocence without exposing our personal information. I would be happy to open a UA ticket or even DMs to provide any information you need. I'm also going to attach images of the Steam accounts in question to show that they are different people and that they play different games. I am also going to share logs of me inviting him to play Counter-Strike with me. Please message me back with any other information I can share to help resolve this. If you would like to contact me on Discord, you can at: love.you.ki
