[AwkwardStereo] Nope22 - Note appeal
Posted: Tue Aug 02, 2022 7:19 am
BYOND account: Nope22
Character name: Doorknob
Ban type: Note
Ban length: Note.
Ban reason: "During Round 187740 called another player a faggot directly in dead chat. Player was a ninja that ended their Malf AI Delta attempt by killing them in the last few moments. Told this breaks Rule 11 and to not do it again."
Time ban was placed: 2022-08-02 06:24:02
Server you were playing on when banned: Sybil
Round ID in which ban was placed:187740
Your side of the story: Short story, get midround malf AI, run into a lot of problems, the first of which was an atmos tech who while technically didn't AI proof the pipes made it such a fucking mess and maze of filters, values and god knows what else that it was impossible for my pea brain to figure out, already cutting me off from an AI's most powerful weapon to use, plasma flooding.
Ironically the next thing that happened that was another problem was me converting said Atmos tech into a cyborg with a factory, he instantly commits suicide upon conversion, fucking me over even further, then I encountered some wacky error with the processing power unable to go over 100 points for a few minutes, all of this eventually lead up to the final minutes where I had gone delta and was defending my core from mechs, magic carp zombies when out of the blue a space ninja who I had never seen up until now, sauters in, EMP's then converts my malfunction hacked cyborgs then teleports into my core and ends me with 10-15 seconds left to the nuke.
Suffice I say, I was salty, I was mad, malding out of control by saying how bullshit that was and calling it cancer beyond measure and in my final insult before flushing it out of my system and acknowledging it happens and to move on, I called him a faggot.
Why you think you should be unbanned: The interpretation of this word is frankly, wonky, I could have chosen other words that wouldn't have net me with this problem, correct but with what happened that round I was a salt mine running on overdrive, although I know *very* clearly when it's crossing the line when it comes to slurs against groups of people, this wasn't one of them, it was a just the in the heat insult because he fucking owned my ass, not a jab, attack or otherwise tearing into the player in question, I just felt scammed getting ninja'd with nothing I could do about it with 10 seconds left to go on the clock.
I also wish to point out, as Awkward himself references rule 11 to put this note on me that there's specifically a lining in that section
"This means rather than warning or banning for quoting a usage such as "Griff McNazi got banned for calling somebody a faggot" or even things like "nigga pls" and "what are you faggots playing" which are generally not statements made to be bigoted, we'll focus more on statements like "you talk like a [insert stereotype]" or "x is a [insert slur]"."
I don't like to rule lawyer, I didn't even want this to be discussed on the forums and have it dealt with on the server but my attempts to try and get the point across that it was merely an in-the-moment salty insult and not a bigoted attacked on the ninja player met with a conflicting viewpoint, so here we are.
References of good conduct: It's a note
Anything else we should know: Not really, I was just salty, I flushed it out and got on with it the next round, I just really think the note was unnecessary as It wasn't an attack
