Your side of the story:
Cult. Captain is sacrificed, but we have like three or four people. Our base was just devastated by meteors, our cult master was killed, security is still numerous, but largely, with other loyalists and a large number of iron golems, in medbay. How do I take them out, so we can summon safely? With a bomb. I have one with me right now.
There are no friendlies anywhere in line of sight, so I drop a bomb behind the cryo, run and send the signal. I achieve my goal, but one of the cultists dies - I don't know where he appeared from, but maybe he got by debris or something. I learn it two minutes later, when I get bwoinked. I'm told that I'm responsible for the death of my teammate, and have to take punishment.
I know that I'm appealing a dayban, but it seems particularily unfair to me, so I'll do it.
Okay, yes, I killed a fellow cultist. It sucks, and I would be really happy to avoid it, if I knew he'd be caught in the blast. But the fact is, I did not "spend" any lives. I did not intend to kill him. I did not even know he was there. It was an accident, and accidents happen. Sometimes, you throw a flashbang and kill a lot of your own guys, because they don't have ear protection, and your enemy does. Sometimes you shoot your own ally in a firefight in gangs. Sometimes, you fuck up during ops and kill some of your own with a syndicate bomb - God knows, I was on the receiving side of this a lot. Every time it happened, I whined, complained and called my killer a moron in the ghostchat, but ultimately understood that it was a fuckup, not a murder.
I don't understand how my case is any different.
