Your side of the story: Round started. I latejoined about 40 seconds in as a medical doctor. I performed my usual tasks of getting set up, informing the crew to put on sensors, et cetera. Sudden crisis, the supermatter almost immediately starts delaminating and bodies begin flooding into medbay. I set to work trying to direct triage by getting the paramedics to put people on stasis and repair the injured people as they come in. Power goes out so stasis beds no longer work. There is now a time crunch because chemistry did not have time to make formaldehyde because immediate supermatter chicanery. As I am attempting to re-attach an arm and repair ruptured eardrums, a lawyer keeps pestering me asking me about the psychologist. I try to ignore him until my patient is up and healthy. He asks me if I have access to the psychologist's office. I do not think I do, but see no harm in checking. This was a mistake. as I turn the corner to check the office the lawyer runs up and flashes me and says "ok, its the captain and the HOP." I inform him my displeasure at his deception and tell him "I am not contributing, I have an actual job to do." I may have said some cuss words, i forgot. I am annoyed because the previous round I joined was War Ops, which meant I did not get to roleplay on the medium roleplay server, and it was now Revs, which means I will not be able to roleplay on the medium roleplay server again, as it will quickly degenerate into a team death match PVP bang bang m1 m1 haha horizontaltime. I return to triage, trying to deal with the incoming tide of injured. I am frustrated at this time, but still felt the round would be recoverable if I was allowed to keep performing the job I signed up for and healing people. A man is brought to me, bereft of legs (from the supermatter exploding). I repair his hearing and work on getting him some new legs when I am bwoinked by the admin, Sightld2. They say to me "Crag I don't think you can refuse your Headrev if they need your help with the revolution. You're a team antagonist now. If you genuinely don't want to play rev like, ever, we could do a requested ban?" I am frustrated and do not think I should be banned for not just running silently towards red shirts and silver ID cards hammering my left mouse button. I get a little heated and respond in a manner that may be a bit inappropriate. My response was "
im not fucking running around murdering people all round because someone funny handed me in a second. i have actual work to do with half the crew being dead because some fuckwit engineer botched the SM round start. THe last 22 rounds have been TDM bullshit". The statement about "22" rounds is inaccurate. It was a typo. I meant to say "2 rounds". The reason why I typo'd was because as I am responding to the ahelp, a laughter demon bursts out from the blood puddle under my patient and begins murdering the two of us. I hammer out the response as fast as possible and attempt to flee from the demon. The demon pursues and begins murdering me further. I am now truly angry in thus moment and say to the demon "I am responding to an admin bwoink, fuck off dipshit". This is IC in OOC and against the rules and I apologize, but I was really upset someone began trying to round remove me while I was trying to respond to an admin and not get banned. The demon leaves but at this time I am exsanguinated and pass into crit. The round is not even a half hour in by my reckoning and it is already absolutely buggered. I express my intent to DNR over OOC because I am angry and continuing to be in this situation is only going to make me angrier and cause problems, and deathgasp "I just wanted to play the fucking game." I then disconnected. I later find out, post round end, that apparently the slaughter demon was spawned by a wizard spawned by admin chicanery? I am not sure of this, but if so that is really annoying.
Why you think you should be unbanned: I freely admit that I was angry and behaved inappropriately towards Sightld2 in the ahelp, and for that I apologize. However, I feel that a 14 day ban for this incident is rather excessive. The note he is referring to is from some months ago, when I experienced being shot repeatedly and dragged around security nude for almost an entire round for the crime of climbing over a bar to help someone who had slipped on foam that was seemingly neverending. I understand that sometimes I can get frustrated with this game and it is inappropriate to lash out at the administrative staff for this, but please try to understand from my point of view that me saying "fine, fuck it, I'll leave" and disconnecting is an attempt by me to de-escalate my anger. In Sightld2's note they ask me to manage my anger. I attempted to do so and am slapped with a 2 week ban for OOC in IC.
References of good conduct:Semi-competent medbay player. I do not play on any other servers at the time of this appeal.
Anything else we should know: Sightld2, I am sorry for lashing out at you when you bwoinked me. It was not cool of me to do so. I am trying to be better but it is a work in progress and occasionally I stumble. I feel that the note lacked a bit of context which I attempted to elucidate in my appeal and I feel the ban length is a bit excessive for OOC in IC. If you do not feel removing the ban is in the best interest of the server, I request that you consider perhaps lessening its length somewhat. Thank you for your time.
