BYOND account: Geologee
Character name: Isabella
Ban type: Server
Ban length: Two weeks
Ban reason:" After complaining in dchat, immediately OOCed in IC about "shit roleplay" when spawned in as a ghost role for centcom, then began buying minibombs and attempted to blow up their entire team. When ahelped was unrepentant and claimed it didn't matter. You are currently banned for lack of caring about your team, and these actions indicate a lack of care for anyone else who spawned along with you's enjoyment as well. Please take this break to come back with a better attitude towards your fellow players.
Time ban was placed: The timestamp from the first minibomb was https://tgstation13.org/parsed-logs/syb ... 8/game.txt [2022-05-15 20:51:15.952]
Server you were playing on when banned:Sybil
Round ID in which ban was placed:round-183208
Your side of the story: I was a pretty salty cmo from the medbay being on fire and everyone infected. I died and prayed to the gods just to blow up the shuttle, just to straight up grief it and just kill em all cause rawr world burn and i wanted to vent to the gods. Well I get an option to spawn in as something and I just click yes because theres only a minute until the shuttle gets to centcomm so I figure its gonna be moot anyway just the server rng being rng.
I was typing in deadchat and finished my last word and pressed enter as I was spawning in as a syndicate strike team at centcomm waiting for the shuttle to arrive in a minute and the round to end. I didn't intend to talk to the strike team and even in that scenario I don't feel it was a major ooc/ic role with the situation being everyone spawned in from ghost. As soon as I spawned in I just opened my uplink searched minibombs and started throwing them. The first minibomb didn't esplode and I armed and tossed the second while buying a third and fourth, the second and third didn't esplode either and i didn't swap hands in time and the last one I didn't manage to throw and it esploded in my hand. This is when I died
Why you think you should be unbanned: First and foremost I felt as having prayed to the gods to blow up the shuttle and being spawned in as a syndicate strike team as a sort of blessing to have a little ooc fun to get over the round rage.(*I will post a post script to back up my belief that I was free to do this from the rules down below.*) It was/is my understanding the once a person is at centcom and the shuttle seconds away the game is essentially a free for all and while you are free to act like a dick at centcom you will probably get beaten up by others. I get it was a dick move to quickly buy esplosives but the fact i had prayed for the shuttle to blow up as well as the fact that the bombs i threw away didn't esplode attributed to me thinking the others wouldn't and the last one esploded because the x key on my keyboard is broken (Pasted that from google). This is in addition tot he fact the moment the shuttle arrived at centcomm everyone both syndicate and not were esploded by a member of the crew not letting the syndicate strike team actually do anything as well.
References of good conduct: I feel if you look at my record of bans and admin notes you will see the history of my incidents lower and lower in frequency and I have used the same character isabella dunn as a way to establish a sort of meta reputation as well as acting better ooc. I have tried within the past year+ of playing to become a less action focused and more roleplay focused person. I often play on high and lowpop as a doctor to ensure that the ability for anyone who joins the server and dies by accident has the ability to keep playing that round as I understand some people have a limited time per day to play and with the round lengths varying people may only have one or two rounds per day to play if that.
Anything else we should know: If a ban is felt necessary I would still argue that the length of two weeks is disproportionate to the rule violation and the circumstances. I keep empathy in the back of my head as everything i do ic recently and try to make a ic/ooc effort to understand the other character is a person playing with their own emotions and I really want to stress my understanding in the difference between a persons ic station character and a random ghost role spawned at centcomm is what led me to doing this and I try not to do stuff recently that would leave a negative lasting impression on the person behind the character.
* From the rules page is some of the information i was thinking about while acting out at centcomm. "Rules still apply until the emergency escape shuttle has reached Centcom and the round-end antagonist report has appeared. When the shuttle has reached Centcom, players are free to act as per lone antagonists, detailed in Rule 4. Non-antagonist grief upon the shuttle, from spamming flashbangs for no reason to spraying space lube, can be met with instant 5 (five) minute bans or more."
