[Cheshify] ShadowedEnvy - "Unprompted" Interaction Note

BYOND account: ShadowedEnvy
Character name: Adamantine..... something
Ban reason: As a free golem, went to the nearby station to attack the cult currently summoning nearby, bashing a few cultists with toolboxes while on a scooter. Free golems shouldn't be engaging the station unprompted by the station itself, regardless of valid antags or not.
Time ban was placed: 2022-03-24 04:13:29
Server you were playing on when banned: Manuel
Round ID in which ban was placed: 180451
Your side of the story: "Unprompted?" I do not think that it is "unprompted" when there is a warning that cultists are attempting to summon a blood god or whatever about 40 meters from my house. I should have taken a picture of how close-by the golem ship and the lower level of the chapel was, and I'm not sure that maps are saved after roundend, but it was VERY close. The idea that it was "unprompted" of me to attempt to stop it from happening is, frankly, LRP. Yes, nobody physically, directly came into my ship and tried to personally cut my head off in service of their horrible elder god, but what they were doing was very clearly an attack on my, the golem's, physical well-being.
Do you expect ghost roles to just stand by the wayside and do literally nothing as the station does things that affect them? Should the lavaland syndicate simply ignore miners breaking in to steal gear? Should ashwalkers simply ignore miners walking around killing all the tendrils? No. Ghost roles do primarily exist to do their own things, but most are not drones. When the station does something that is going to affect them, they can react. If tg does not want golems to ever fight the cult in this manner, they should code it such that the golem ship cannot spawn directly next to the station at the very least, or change them to have laws that prevent them from interacting with the station at all, even when attacked.
And I want to add that it is personally insulting to imply that I went on station because I was just so bloodthirsty I simply couldn't help but go validhunting. Eugh. It is completely irrelevant whether or not the cultists were "valid".
