[Shirbu] Zybwivcz - Banned for antaging as an antag
Posted: Fri Apr 03, 2020 8:03 pm
BYOND Account: Zybwivcz
Character Name: Leila Sauter/a morph
Ban Type: Server
Ban Length: 7 days
Ban Reason: Elected to scout out the location of the gluttony ruin prior to taking a mining ghost role, then made a beeline there directly from the ghost role spawner. Then immediately went to the station. This is pretty high level metagaming. Don't do that
Round ID: 133797
Your side of the story: Suicided at the start of the round, came back a while later and grabbed the lavaland hermit role as it was still open and it was the most interesting one available. Grabbed my hermit gear and headed south through the channels some miner had dug. Wound up hitting the gluttony ruins before anything else interesting or lethal. Grabbed the syringe since it was still there, headed to the station and injected it. When I got there I noticed yelling about the MALF AI so I moseyed on over to the satellite and ate it. Also killed one or two people who ran into me.
Morphs are antags. They eat stuff, including machinery. Which obviously includes the AI. I didn't use a ghost role to get 'revenge' against anyone because I hadn't really participated in the round until then. I didn't become the morph to kill the AI because I didn't know it was MALF until I was on the station. I didn't "beeline" to the ruins, I headed south from the hermit's tent because that was the way the tunnels left by miners lead. I didn't dig anything myself. I knew the gluttony ruins were somewhere out there along with the diamond mirror room and the alien ship a couple other ruins because I briefly checked out the area surrounding the hermit's place before spawning so I didn't spend the whole round tunneling through solid rock into the map edge, that's obviously not 'metagaming'. The morph "immediately" going to the station isn't metagaming. It's what a morph is for. There is nothing for a morph to do on lavaland other than die to an ash storm. The morph wiki pages states the purpose of the role is to "Kill and eat people".
I didn't have a chance to talk to the banning admin about any of this, no admin messaged me and I was on until the end of the round. There were one or two people whining loudly in deadchat constantly, at least one of whom was a victim of the morph. Since they were using the exact same choice of word("beelining") that the admin ban reason uses I can assume that they started ahelping the next round or got on discord and the admin just listened to them and applied a week-long ban without even attempting to get my side of the story. Which is pretty simple: knowing that certain ruins exist on lavaland is not "metagaming", neither is using the morph role to do what the morph role is meant to do, and "I ded plz ban" isn't a good ban reason.
