Round ID in which ban was placed: The round ID is 163248.
Your side of the story: BrotherBeyond bwoinked me on Byond asking if I had previously played on alternate accounts. He listed two: Cubbie, and Jack9167 (initially). Cubbie I remembered because it was my ex-girlfriend who I had tried to get into space station for a while (if you look at her scrubby you can see that didn't really go great). I actually can't recall the date when we played, since it isn't even listed on Scrubby, but if I had to guess it must have been 2018. This was kosher, I think -- I was just showing them how to learn the basic game mechanics with metacomms. Our only engagement in the round was me trying to save her from gorillas that swarmed her.
The second account is a bit foggy in my memory since this was a few years ago back when I didn't play the insane amount I do now. The account (Jack9157) had around 170 rounds, almost all if not all of which were another account I had used beforehand to look at the round and see if I wanted to join with my main account based on how events were going on. This began and ended throughout August 2020 (that is: around 10 months ago this incident happened). It goes without saying this this is clearly against the rules and I did not have my head on straight during that period almost a year ago.
The third account he listed (or second, since the first wasn't really an account being used in a bad way), was "Turboslayer." He was activate for about a month (3-15-2021 to 4-12 2021). That said I only clocked 24 hrs with this account. My current account, SinfulBliss, which has been around through all of this, clocked most of its playtime after all these incidents. If you check the scrubby, it was likely 50 days of completely clean play under SinfulBliss (the most recently!) since the mistakes I made months or even years ago. 50 days of clean play (and by 50 days, I mean 50 days STRAIGHT GAMING, not just a game every day for 50 days... 24 X 50). I think that ought to greatly outweigh the fuckups I made involving a lot less playtime spent fucking up. Especially when ya consider the improvement factor.
EDIT: One thing to add. I will admit I was not completely honest in the ahelps because I was honestly pulling an all-nighter, drained and just not being as thorough and thoughtful as I should have. I also really, really didn't want to have to leave my friends. Hopefully this transparent post makes up for it.
Why you think you should be unbanned: Why should you get this opportunity to return, what value do you bring back to the community? Was your ban unfair? Justify it.
The ban is not unfair, first of all. It is standard practice. But I believe the context here should be considered. I try my absolute hardest to make sure I'm doing my job the best way I know how to do that (usually that's as HoS). And, I'm not sure if this makes me look good or bad, but the real reason I dropped the whole spectator-account was because it was just too much of a pain in the ass. The ping was absolutely horrendous and crashed the PC multiple times. I actually switched to playing completely clean because of how unbearably difficult it was to play with two games at the same time. Not a noble reason, I know. But now that I feel more integrated with the community and have made people I call friends, I'd feel ashamed doing something like this again.
But apart from that, I really have started to consider Sybil my home where my friends are that I hang out with, and I just want to go back and game with them. I don't believe being banned will solve anything because I am now completely disinterested in both the way I played, the vibe I gave off, and the entire general attitude I took towards SS13. It was my first roleplaying game and I learned as I went. I think I learned a few months ago the proper way to handle it and I hope I continue to get better at it (especially the RP). But really this is just me hoping the admins let me play again, cause it's gonna be a real bummer if I can't. I wish there were like, a lethal chem implant for this kind of thing but sadly there's not.
The next best thing I can offer is, since I now record practically every round anyways, I could just continue to record. If anyone has a problem I'll just upload the vid right away. I've done this a few times in the past to settle adminhelps.
References of good conduct:
"I don't expect you to play on beestation and get a reference or whatever since I don't believe that's necessary here."
Tl;dr: I did some stupid shit in the past but after an added 1200+ hours playtime AFTER my initial violation, with no reports of similar misconduct, I think there's great support for the fact that I'll continue to add value to the community upon my return.
