to the point, if you actually read the staff guides, it says that for severe teaming, intent is required, and that staff have to use a bit of discretion (and thus judgement) to determine if the teaming was intentional. In this case, it is readily apparent there was no intent to severely team. it was a 1v1 gone wrong.
fundamentally, the whole point of playing TTT is to have fun. if you pursue and chase the rules with no regard to context and to keeping fun as a priority, then you remove the main purpose of being here - it is a game.
many people do acts which are technically against the rules, but they are not because intent/act. If we punish everyone to the letter of the rule, it would become rules for rules sake, and it would drive people away.
if we are going to be cut and dry here, should we be punishing every TTT player the moment they die and flame each other with no regard to if it is a serious flaming or a joking 'haha, u suck, ima kill u' deal?
Should we punish every time an inno kills an inno regardless of the circumstances? it would, after all, be a 'random deathmatch'.
Should we punish any TTT players for teaming when they hop into server in their private voice chats? should it be ghosting?
Context matters. inno on inno happens for loads of reasons, many of which are "haha, funny" and do not result in punishment, because again, haha funny.
people like to chat with each other while playing TTT. should joining TTT while in a VC with another TTT player be bannable? this would ban most of the community tbh.
TL/DR, y'all are forgetting the primary purpose, which is to have fun. It seems eam and deer got caught up while having fun. They did not join the server with the intent to severely impact the game. They did not team up together to kill every single (to my knowledge) T (as prescribed by severe teaming ruling). Instead, they were goofing off every round by fighting each other, and it so happened that one became a traitor and did a goofy to fight during that round.
If you were in those shoes, would you want to be witch hunted over some low impact bad choices?
