[Vekter] Anclandor - Murderbone
Posted: Sun Nov 28, 2021 10:51 pm
BYOND account: Anclandor
Character name: Tori Wetsel
Ban type: Server
Ban length: 3 days
Ban reason: Killed multiple people with a double e-sword on a Manuel lowpop round. Said they did this in order to force-borg one of them (I'm okay with this) but also because there weren't admins on and they wanted to provide some kind of threat. Not a valid reason. Appeal if you want to discuss this further.
Time ban was placed: 18:22:05, 11/26/21
Server you were playing on when banned: Manuel
Round ID in which ban was placed: 173726
Your side of the story: Beginning at the start: I joined round start as a roboticist and got a traitor role. After I had completed my initial set up of robotics, a miner (Quinn Msomething) came in and asked to get augged, I took advantage of them being on my surgical table to force borg and emag them to gain an ally, however, they (quite rudely) wordlessly jumped into space. I ahelped this, but there were no admins on. After evading suspicion about their murder I went SSD for a time to eat lunch. I returned to playing after lunch to try and settle my affairs, because I knew that we were going to be playing a board game as a family soon (some of my siblings came home for the thanksgiving holiday). When I returned to the game, I saw a security officer, Quinn Scott, and the research director in robotics, making a phazon, Quinn Scott had looted my wallet so they could access robotics, and found the miners ID and my emag, but they played it cool because it would have been lame to arrest me. I was going to have to log off soon, and because of my previous ahelp I thought that there were no admins on that could increase the threat level to make up for my inaction (I should have adminwho'ed to make sure, and this was the beginning of the mistakes I made). I didn't want to waste the antag slot by not doing anything with it and leaving the crew and especially security who's job revolves around the presence of bad guys with no conflict, so I (second mistake) thought that I should just use my remaining TC to buy a double e-sword and go out in a blaze of glory. I did so and began hitting the security officer with it. However, I realized as I was doing so that this was just murderboning. As such I attempted to correct my actions somewhat by ceasing my attacks on the security officer and RD, who had done nothing against me, and stepping into sci hallway to attack my target, who was also a scientist (or maybe I just attacked an incredibly unlucky scientist who looked like my target) I killed them and stuck their head in a locker in an attempt to prevent revival and succeed on at least one of my objectives. I then ran to engineering to began to try and steal the blueprints (my other objective), however as I was smashing the door I remembered that I had seen a CE earlier, so I went back to walk the central hallways and hope that they come to valid hunt me and I would be able to take the prints. After a chase and fight with security and borgs I was defeated, I logged off for a couple seconds logged back on, some shenanigans were going on with a borg I emaged during the chase wanting me to be revived. Importantly Vekter contacted me about my earlier ahelp and my conduct this round, I responded to him once on both counts, but logged off after I didn't get any more messages, which was probably my fourth mistake.
Why you think you should be unbanned: Though it might not seem like it, I had the best interests of the other players at heart and I tried to correct my murderbony path. It seems that Vekter got my earlier ahelp mixed up with the banning offence (which was my fault for not remaining online to communicate with them) I am sorry for my conduct, however I would like to ask that the ban be downgraded to a note because of my pure intent, or at the least that the ban message be re-written to clarify the situation, as I did not intend to force borg any of those people (though I suppose that if I had defeated the CE and security I would have tried
to force borg my target well sec was being revived)
References of good conduct: Senior Mentor on CM (not sure it that matters)
Anything else we should know: For the record, I'm not appealing this because I can't not play tg for 3 days, I'm appealing this because I would like to factor less, or less strongly, into any disciplinary action which I may receive in the future
