TLDR; BROOKIE = IDIOT

So yesterday I entered Basketball Race and was paired with brookie. I had no problems with her prior to that day. We’d never had any issues before. I had no opinion about her at all. I can barely tell her apart from the other blonde players, honestly. We made it to the Top 5 without any conflict. Then I got a lower score than I expected (38), so I chose to train. That was my decision, and I was allowed to make it. Right then, I got an emergency call from work and couldn’t check the game for about five minutes. By the time I came back, I’d missed the next round, saved zero, and we were out. I felt bad about letting my partner down, so I checked the chat intending to apologize, as I always do when I mess up (if you know me you know). Instead, I saw Brookie had called me an “idiot” for choosing to train. I’m a new player, and I’m still learning which transport mode makes sense. Choosing to train after scoring 38 in basketball may not have been the winning strategy of the century. Still, it’s a game decision, and it doesn’t give anyone the right to insult me over a game decision. I got upset over that personal insult and sent her a DM, “That’s what you deserve for calling me an idiot.” By that, I meant, “That’s karma.” Was it sharp? Yes. Was it a split-second reaction to being insulted out of nowhere? Also yes. However, this DM was taken out of context and taken as a PROOF that I deliberately sabotaged the game. I immediately explained to brookie in the same DM that I had received an emergency work call and could provide concrete evidence to prove the opposite but she herself cannot justify calling me an “idiot” over a stupid game decision. Minutes later, I was forcibly logged out: You have been banned for 1 days. Reason: Please dont sabotage your race partners, it makes the game not fun for everyone. I did not expect this community to be a place of screenshot-collecting contest where reporting one another over false interpretations of their DMs gains them a petty virtual victory. If that is how these situations are handled on this website, after this experience, my trust in this community has been seriously damaged. I told the moderators on discord that I could show proof that it was a work emergency and asked them to review the situation. Nothing was done in the 24 hours until lifting of my ban, no response was given and I was left with the false accusation of sabotaging my partner. On the other hand, no action or warning was given to Brookie for calling me an idiot. I am simply asking for the same standards to be applied to both players: if my response is being taken out of context and resulting in a ban, then the insult that preceded it should be considered too. I genuinely thought I liked this community and trusted its administration, but this incident really disappointed me. Anyway, now that I’m a bitch with a ban history, I’m officially embracing my THAT BAD GAL era. 💅 And now don’t you dare claim yourself a “bad gal” if you’ve never even been banned. I only wish this had been a ban I’d actually earned, instead of a false accusation based on a DM taken out of context and favoritism/prejudice toward certain members but anywaysss. So, apparently, this platform applies the same standards to everyone and has such a fair and consistent administration. In that case, I suppose I’m perfectly free to use the word idiot without facing a sanction, right? 😂 Here we go then. BROOKIE, YOU ARE AN IDIOT. أنتِ حمقاء 你是个白痴 你是個白痴 あなたはバカです 너는 바보야 Eres idiota Tu es idiote Du bist eine Idiotin Sei un’idiota Você é idiota Ты идиотка Sen aptalsın तुम बेवकूफ़ हो تم بےوقوف ہو تو احمقی Είσαι ηλίθια Jij bent een idioot Jesteś idiotką Du är en idiot את טיפשה তুমি বোকা Kamu bodoh เธอโง่มาก Go ahead, screenshot this too. Frame it, treasure it, add it to your little collection of imaginary victories. Whatever keeps you entertained. If collecting screenshots is your biggest achievement, who am I to interrupt your hobby? Keep scrolling, sweetheart. Because at the end of the day, who’s actually in Dubai? EZIZ BABY. 💋 And who’s celebrating a petty little virtual screenshot-collecting contest from their broken dusty screen like they’ve just won an Olympic medal? YOU. MAYBE. 🤡 Stay pressed, darling. Honestly, the bitterness looks absolutely fabulous on you. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a fabulous REAL LIFE to get back to. 💅 Keep scrolling, enjoy the fyp
