[Necromancer Anne] Thunder12345 - Banned for leaving a stale round
Posted: Wed Apr 29, 2020 11:28 pm
BYOND account: Thunder12345
Character name: Emily Vargas
Ban type: Head of staff jobban
Ban length: 1 week
Ban reason: "Suicided as a head of staff while admins were on the server. This was during a long rev round, but it was a rev round all the same. Even if it's late into a round, please just at least let us know and let us decide what happens to your body with an informed decision."
Time ban was placed: ~9PM BST, April 30
Server you were playing on when banned: Terry
Round ID in which ban was placed: 135920
Your side of the story: Gave my job to the most trustworthy sec officer and killed myself as HoS, as the round had been going for over an hour and was seemingly long stale, with the wizard killed in the first 10 minutes, and nothing happening apart from minor tiding.
Why you think you should be unbanned: 1: The ban reason has the entire argument centred about the fact there was a revolution. This has no bearing on what happened, as the revs were doing so little that nobody was aware they even existed, and it‘s patently absurd to base this decision on circumstances which were quite clearly outside of my knowledge. 2: Unless I somehow missed a complete u-turn in policy, it’s been precedent as per rule 5 for a long time now to only worry about heads leaving if they do it roundstart, not long into the round. Specifically, the requirement as stated is "generally considered to be not logging out at or near roundstart." Unless over an hour into the round can somehow be included in the definition of "at or near roundstart", this ban is not only dumb but directly contradicts the rules as explicitly written.
