[AmbassadorKarp] Loves-The-Lizards - Ban Appeal, I guess.
Byond account and character name: Jarektheraptor, Loves-The-Lizards
Banning admin: Ambassadorcarp
Ban type (What are you banned from?): Antag, Server
Ban reason and length: 2 weeks for the server, unsure for the antag: Reason: As an operative, duplicated their tc 15x despite being told in character it was a bad idea. They did not ahelp it in the round. Getting 3000 tc as an op is pretty gamebreakingly bad and goes from light exploiting to severe exploiting. Exploiting on this level is pretty gamebreakingly bad and I hope you never do it again in the future. The antag ban will carry the rest of the month+2 weeks.
Time ban was placed (including time zone): 21:47 GMT+0
Server you were playing when banned (Sybil or Bagil): Terry
Your side of the story: Using the ability to refund reinforcements that were on a discount for 9 TC and refunding them for the full 25tc, I was able to purchase 7 mechs and numerous actual reinforcements for the nuclear team I was in. The TC's were also spent on numerous nick-nacks, like weapons. I was,obviously, Very fucking stupid and clearly did not understand that this was a bad thing to do at the time, and I completely ignored anyone IC'ly telling me to stop fucking around with the TC refunding business, and did it anyway. This led, after the round was eventually over, to me getting banned because I did not tell anyone, nor report this obvious game-breaking exploit. I don't really have a defense for that, but to defend my side regardless, I thought, at the time, it would be somewhat funny to do.It's not much of a defense at all, but it's there, and no it wasn't funny. I did bring it up on the TGstation discord afterwards, of course, but the damage was done. I don't make a habit of fucking up badly like this most of the time as I have the capability of understanding when it's time to stop. I don't really expect anyone to take my side here, seeing how I myself know how fucking dumb I was and how well deserved the ass-kicking is. Don't think there's anything else to say.
Why you think you should be unbanned: I don't really know. I do know the exploit wasn't done maliciously, and I have no intentions of doing such a thing again.. It's not really much, obviously, but that's all I can say for why I should be. I obviously know I fucked up. There's no real argument there. I can't defend those actions aside from "wow it was funny" and that's an awful fucking argument. At best, Perhaps I could hope for one of the bans (Antag or server) to be removed or lessened as a whole. A tempban from antag but being able to play the server, or being server banned but otherwise nothing else, or both stay but less for both. I don't know. I don't expect much and I don't deserve much to be completely fair - The ban reason is entirely accurate and not incorrect. I don't know what I should really be aiming for here, but we'll see where my shot lands.
