[Chimpston] SilveredSoul - 7 Day Ban Podperson shenanigans
Posted: Fri Dec 24, 2021 10:12 am
BYOND account: Silveredsoul
Character name: Potato
Ban type: Server
Ban length: 7 Day?
Ban reason: After dying to the cult in game, respawned as a ghost role pod person and went out their way to the station to stop teh cultists from summoning Nar'Sie with .357s because "the cult was a threat to their harvest". This seems like an act of using metainformation and abusing ghost roles for their unintended purposes.
Time ban was placed: 2021-12-24 9:32:05
Server you were playing on when banned: Sybil
Round ID in which ban was placed: 175336
Why you think you should be unbanned: Honestly, I'd advocate mostly for a lesser ban. Though I'd like to note that the ban reason given contradicts my defense/explanation. I did NOT "respawn as a ghost role pod person and went out of their way to stop the cultists..." implying I feel like I respawned for that sole purpose. I was close ish to mining station, and right next to heirophant. Gat fruit takes a long time to grow, and the shuttle was intermittently called and recalled while I was waiting for the gatfruit to grow --> to kill Heirophant, and probably go dragon hunting; implying that I was on lavaland for a while minding my own business, and when I finally left it was ~3 minutes until shuttle landing.
I'd like to note something major here: The damned christmas tree gave a cult leader a god damn instagib/kill rifle in which he used to kill several people and kind of enforce cult rule, which was deemed as valid.
It was 3-4 minutes until the shuttle was about to arrive, as it had gotten called and stayed called finally, and the cult leader with the INSTAMURDER gun was spamming nar-sie summons. Found an intercomm and told them to "Knock it off, eldritch gods are going to mess with my plants." and that I'd "Come show them varmints what for if they kept doing it, by the goddess Gaia and show them what flower power was" or something.
I took public mining to arrivals after my warnings and another summon attempt (Which I assume meant people were actively messing with them anyways), and made my way to departures. Gravity was off, and I was using jack-o-lanterns to see. Came cross EVA, which the area was the cult was at. Juggernaut and a shade kind of messed with me, and I killed two cultists by blind firing down the hall. I threw some cherry bombs around but those don't do shit to R-walls really. Shot open a shutter as I passed by,b lind fired more into the room, and got set on fire by the shade dragging flaming corpses around. shuttle was docked so I went on my way there, met a station botanist, and was responding to boinks while a another Juggernaut was trying to hug me.
My point is, a lot of time expired between my spawning as ghost role, their repeated attempts at summoning, the actual time it takes gatfruit to fucking grow (which is a lot because I suck at botany I guess) and me heading towards the shuttle to "Spread my harvests" and passingly "showing those varmints what for". I quoted radio broadcasts of my warnings to the station folk.
Pod people don't have anything specific about leaving lavaland, and unless there's something more concrete now as I don't actively look at rules updates, I feel like I've might have had an issue with ghost roles before, could be a note? though I feel that one was more spur of the moment anger shit and some other role more out of the way. Lavaland syndies can't leave, ash walkers and pod people are weird, but golems seem to pop up to station all the time, especially in icebox? If some golems killed cult would it have been "meta information from being alive before"?
Like I said, cult leader had a instagib rifle, I DID die to him, like, early on into the game, before the cult was even discovered and I made a ahelp about it assuming he was self-antagging but I was told it was valid. I was afk/pod person for a while before the cult actually grew and did stuff.
I'm assuming the reason why Pod people can grow gatfruit is some setting stuff and perhaps also a chance to "Defend" the vault against fauna, as a few can ill a dragon? Just seems odd to give them OP guns and then have a complaint when they passingly defend themselves.
References of good conduct: My main name is Adrian Vee, I've played on and off this here for a bit now, had another account I lost access to before a few years ago, probably find info about that. I'd like to think I'm a more known/welcome name nowadays, as at least I feel slightly recognized by other regulars and stuff nowadays even if I'll go off and get angry about stupid shit constantly.
Anything else we should know: Uh mostly just the text wall above. Unsure if that fit there or here better?? Lemme know and I'll rearrange it tbh.
Otherwise, like, shit man it's Christmas and the round was already fucked by a randomly spawning instakill gun that fucked people over early on because gods damned Phillip Thomas got it at round start. Feel like 7 days is too much.
[EDIT]: Oh uh also this is a second account I just made, couldn't log into the other one which should just be regular silveredsoul. Thought it was attached to an email of the same name, never got any password help requests from it so... shrug. Feel free to help me out there and I'll repost if needed.
