[Peoplearestrange] <Athaleon Yates> Ban Appeal
Posted: Sat Oct 26, 2019 11:23 pm
BYOND account: <Boomaloon>
Character name: <Athaleon Yates>
Ban type: <Server>
Ban length: <1 MONTH>
Ban reason: <As previously warned you have used \"powergame\" tactics to try to \"win\" the game, including and not limited to stealing sec equipment as other roles, using emotes to talk around mutes, valid hunt antags as non sec roles, metaknowledge AI laws. This is far from the spirit of the game and we suggest you spend sometime reminding yourself that this isnt a game that needs to be won to be enjoyed. Failure to heed this warning upon your return may lead to a permanent ban.>
Time ban was placed: <2019-10-26 22:45:29>
Server you were playing on when banned: <Terry>
Round ID in which ban was placed: <122279>
Your side of the story: <(playing as CMO) Alright, at first the admin contacted me cause I used emotes to talk. I did so unintentionally I had the ability to speak, I just left it selected on 'me' rather than 'say' (bottom right of screen). unsure what he meant by powergame, sec was fucked and every sec officer was pretty much dead. I found a baton and took it for self defense? don't know why that needs explaining. I never broke into any department for the whole shift. Again, I am unsure what he means by valid hunting; there were two instances that I had contact with syndicate or syndicate item: 1st I was in maintenance looking for injured and found a DEAD body on the ground with a pile of shit next to it, within said pile there was an ENERGY cake, naturally I searched the nearby satchel and within its contents I found a PDA that had messages to other member of the crew ASKING TO BUY ROMEROL; if he is referring to this its seems a far fetch from valid hunting (buy the way the lad, unga, who the messages were sent to ended up killing me anyway) am I supposed to turn a blind eye to something as blatant as that? I digress, right after I found that evidence I went to try and find a sec headset so that I could TELL them I had found said messages and to watch out for him. after receiving no response, I no longer chased that lead and let it drop. The second time I had a run in (with what I presume was some kind of baddy) was when a lad was LITERALLY killing anyone and everyone at random in medbay so I chased him down and killed him, thereafter he rose back up from the dead and I didn't see him afterwards (presumably some kind of self revive. Regarding the metaknowledge comment, I never was even near the ai upload OR chambers for the whole round so I can only assume he was speaking out of context of the round and through my admin notes; that being said, did that admin even bother to read the timestamps on those notes? it seems very doubtful. They span over months and at least a month or more since present.>
Why you think you should be unbanned: <I've only joined recently(within a year I believe), and I've tried my hardest to understand rules (as there are many do's and don'ts) and have generally stopped all the misunderstandings aside from the occasional accidental emote chat or ick ock, through misclickin. if you look at my notes its been quite a while since I have received any and many games between my last note and present. genuinely still trying to learn many things but there are many pitfalls. reading the Admin notes out of context and ignoring timestamps does cast it In a bad light, and under such pretext I don't blame anyone for thinkin that way about me, but I think I've genuinely improved and are of benefit to any server (not that i'm pro, I just do me job)>
References of good conduct: <um unfortunately I didnt spend too much time getting familiar with peoples byond account names in game but i suppose ratman jones, and Lola knack are good ones? they probably have changed their names by now.. and perhaps prosper finlay? i've spent much time on event hall so maybe regulars there might remember me. >
