Byond account and character name: mikeike545, random name at the time, but usually Mateo Leech
Banning admin: Thunder12345
Ban type (What are you banned from?): server ban
Ban reason and length: (copied from the ban itself) As chef, thought he may have seen the chemists injecting food with supposedly virus infected blood. Made no attempt to confirm this suspicion. Based on this, broke into virology and shoved the viro on a table.\n\nLater attacked the chemists in the bar using a stolen disabler. When the virologist came to assist them with a bola throw, used also stolen krav maga to beat him nearly into crit, and finish killing him when he fought back with a screwdriver.\n\nThis is NOT valid escalation, you took it upon yourself to act as a vigilante with zero evidence and kill people for getting in your way.\n\nThink long and hard about your conduct here. 24 hour ban

Your side of the story: So what had actually happened was, one of the chemists comes to the bar, injecting food. Silently and acting as if he didn't just do it. When I tell him to stop and push him, he acts as if he does nothing. I punch him, table him, and then throw him into disposals. I then pick up the syringe, which was clearly filled with blood, and head to the viro, because I assume it to be infected with something. (Note; I had gotten all access this round) During this the chemists claims it is Synaptizine when it's clearly red and not pink. I just walk into viro because forget waiting. I then throw the syringe down and ask what's in it. The viro also acts suspicious and just doesn't answer me and tells me to leave. This is where I tried to confirm the suspicious Thunder said I didn't even though I told him this part. I guess he just thinks I randomly decided to table the viro for some reason. I table him four times and leave because I assume he's either a shitter or involved. During all of this, mind, the chemist is screeching that I'm rogue for daring to stop him from randomly injecting food and I tell him to fuck off and stay away from the kitchen. This part I sort of forget but I either headed to the bridge to shit talk them over the comms console, or headed right to the kitchen. Either way eventually one time I come back to the kitchen and the two chemists are there, in fact. Both with syringe guns out. Now. I'm gonna give everyone that reads this five seconds to guestimate what one might assume is going to happen if you had previously fucked with chemists, and they are now at your workplace with syringe guns. Yes, naturally, I, not being ten years old, assumed they were there for me. I quickly run down the hall and go into sec. (There was no security this round, at least, not to my knowledge.) I walk in since no one is there, grab the krav maga gloves, grab a hardsuit, and grab a disabler. This isn't against the rules so I don't see why it being pointed out as 'stolen' matters but whatever. I return to the kitchen. To which, the chemists are still there. A short fight ensues in which I disable them and they attempt to shoot me. After disabling them both, cuffing one and taking his backpack I can clearly see he has hydro. During this I pick up one syringe gun and fire it to empty it since my other hand had my insuls in it, pretty sure at least, towards the bartenders area so it was empty. During this one of the chemists got up and I didn't have cuffs so I attempted to leg sweep him and just kept hitting him because fuck 'em for trying to hydro me. During this too, the viro comes up, bolas me, and also attempts to stab my eyes with a screwdriver. I know this because he has the screwdriver, was right next to me, figured out he couldn't, and then he changed to torso and attacked me there. I beat his ass, naturally. I killed him and was probably going to do the same with the chemists but I said fuck it and just took ones ID and both syringe guns. Not sure if either one died after this, but it's irrelevant.
Why you think you should be unbanned: So let's read escalation! At least, the two most relevant parts.
If a player wrongs you(theft, attacks, etc), you may retaliate. If you choose to retaliate with violence, you in turn have opened yourself up to violence. If you choose this route, do not expect admins to help you out if you die, even if you were not the original instigator.
You may instigate conflict with another player within reason (you can't completely destroy their department, kill them unprovoked, or otherwise take them out of the round for long periods of time) but they are entitled to respond with violence.
Right, right. So I believed someone to be doing something illegal and possibly harmful, so I hit the chemist and threw him into disposals. Justified. I then went to the viro, and he just didn't answer my questions and I assumed he was in on it. I only tabled him and while I'm not entirely sure the damage glass tables do these days, definitely not much and I left after. I return to see chemists in the bar waiting for me with syringe guns. I reasonably assume they're there to probably kill me or otherwise fuck with me to hell and back, so I get gear to deal with them.
Getting sec gear as non sec isn't against the rules so I dunno why this was brought up by the viro or the admin. Being a vigilante is also not against the rules but whatever.
I deal with them nonlethally at first, and they attempt to fight back. So they fought me. So they're valid, as far as escalation goes. Whether or not I instigated is irrelevant since escalation covers that. So I don't see the problem other than Thunder thinking I did this randomly or without trying to figure things out, but I did, and was both hindered and then had to deal with an attack in the process of doing such.
I don't care what was in the syringes, at this point. There's no reasonable excuse for not suspecting someone randomly, silently, injecting food. None. Anyone can suspect him of doing wrong. Like sure if he had said it's a good virus or something, maybe, but he didn't. So yes, I would indeed say I had a reason to deal with him. And the viro was just being uncooperative, and I barely hurt him due to such and left because I'm not gonna argue with him and would just be on my way. They all either attempted to or did actually attack me, in which case, they are valid, so says the rules. I didn't kill him for 'getting in the way', I killed him because I had more than enough reason to believe they were bad boys.
Also he seems to have ignored that I did try and that was the entire reason I went to viro, not just to table him. Last edit, sorry, but I forgot to mention they didn't try to leave, either. In fact after I pushed the viro into the hall and punched him a few times he followed me back to the bar.
