[<Vekter>] Almaxeia - Differences in rule interpretation
Posted: Sat Aug 08, 2020 7:01 pm
BYOND account: Almaxeia
Character name: Esther Blackguard
Ban type: All Servers
Ban length: Permanent
Ban reason: Rule 8 violations. Logs available by request. Fuck off elsewhere.
Time ban was placed: 2020-08-08 17:34:03
Server you were playing on when banned: Terry
Round ID in which ban was placed: 143803
Your side of the story: As far as I am aware, this is about the surgery thing. Yesterday I found out with another player that after you have someone living in a folded Bluespace Bodybag you can do a cavity implant operation on someone else to insert that bodybag into them. We found this to be a fun gimmick, reminiscent of “living matryoshka dolls”. Today, we recreated that same gimmick we found yesterday, only with a bigger number of only willing players. We (I presume we all did, definitely I did) thought of it only as harmless fun with a harmless gimmick. There was no erotic or creepy subtext to it. One of the participants did refer to it as “surgical vore” to which I objected saying “just don't call it surgical vore”. I did mention that round too that the gimmick itself reminded me much more of matryoshka dolls rather than vore and at least one participating player agreed with me and did refer to it as “living russian doll”. There was never any erotic or creepy intent involved, and all participating players were willing to have a little fun with a surgery gimmick we found. I did at a later date say “surgical vore”, but it was meant as a joke/throwback to how the other participant said.
If this is not about the surgery, please tell me what it is about so that I can appropriately describe my point of view.
Why you think you should be unbanned: I believe that only a completely corrupted mind would think that what we did was in any way erotic or creepy. I was enamoured by the prospect of creating a living matryoshka doll, and never intended for it to be in any way erotic or creepy. All participants were willing. The "gods" did toss us around a bit and created an ERT commander who said: "cool this shit down, or I blast the entire room", and we did become less excited after that, but we still had fun with the gimmick we found. I find a ban, especially a permanent one an extremely harsh treatment, given that I didn't even receive an administrator private message about my conduct there, and had absolutely no chance of telling my side of the story or of saying my opinion. I do not believe that having fun with the surgery gimmick which is hard for me personally to construe as erotic is a Rule 8 violation, and I do not think I should be banned permanently for that.
References of good conduct: I have not played on any other server since the ban, because I was banned today. I have never been banned on any server before, and my usual interaction with admins comes down to occasional private messages, which usually were rather light-hearted and rarely threatened me with any potential banning. I believe that the aforementioned participating players might help reinforce the fact that this whole situation wasn't ever intended to violate rule 8.
I hope I filled this correctly, please tell me if I did something wrong, I am not used to doing such things.
