Ban type: N/A this is for a note
Ban length: N/A this is for a note
Note reason: Warned - as a HoS slash defacto captain, bought a Disco Inferno shuttle via emag. Stated they believed this was fine since crew could lynch them if they disliked it. This resulted in the deaths of everyone in the shuttle when it went off. Given otherwise good conduct and lack of resentment (anecdotally) I'll leave this as a warning, but please do not buy dangerous shuttles as a non-antagonist without good cause.

Your side of the story: I was the Head of Security, and it was a very busy shift - I personally caught at least 4 traitors, and I knew that the Clown was also a traitor, but he was non-harmful, so I picked my battles and let him off, since I don't like to validhunt people for the crime of existing as an antagonist. I knew the Clown had an emag, so I asked to borrow it from them, and bought the Disco Inferno shuttle. When it was time to evacuate, everyone died on the shuttle except for a lone heavily damage engiborg. HOWEVER, I'm not actually sure what killed everyone, as there were many many things going on at the time - the prior mentioned engiborg flooded the shuttle with some kind of gas mixture, someone ignited the disco inferno plasmatiles, AND there was a Resonance Cascade occurring in the SM, which I'm not really sure how that works yet. Actually, I have no idea what even killed me, as I was sitting in the cockpit away from the plasmafire and whatever the borg put in the shuttle. It may have been damage that was dealt to my holoparasite. Anyway, point is, I don't deny buying the shuttle, however, I feel that this note should be removed in it's entirety.
Why you think you should be un-noted: This note is not justifiable because there is a headmin ruling on this exact issue here: viewtopic.php?p=623677#p623677 . My interpretation of this ruling is that Captain's are allowed to purchase whatever shuttles they want, however, the crew is allowed to mutiny or lynch the captain if the captain purchases a terrible shuttle. This is further reinforced by what the Wiki's Headmin rulings section says:
Which can be found here: https://tgstation13.org/wiki/Headmin_RulingsHeadmin Rulings Wiki wrote:Buying terrible shuttles as captain - Allowed, but the crew is also allowed to mutiny/lynch the captain.
The Headmin Ruling does not mention anywhere that buying these shuttles is actionable by admins, and based on both the wording of the closing post in the Policy Discussion thread, and the listing in the Headmin Rulings, no one would reasonably come to the conclusion that Command is not allowed to purchase these shuttles at risk of getting bwoinked and noted, only that the crew is allowed to mutiny should they choose to do so. Like, that listing in Headmin Rulings is pretty damn explicit that it is allowed.
References of good conduct: N/A, as this is for a note, and I haven't had to play elsewhere
