Banning admin: neerti
Ban type (What are you banned from?): Both servers
Ban reason and length: "Metacomm with Mengde. Don't come back.", Permaban.
Time ban was placed (including time zone): 2014-07-09 20:33:10 GMT
Your side of the story: It's been so long that I barely remember details, although Mengde recently appealed his ban and has more information quoted below. It's as simple as he put it, metacommunication. I received the message from him telling me his uplink password and what'd happened, and in the moment I probably thought my mate'd been fucked over and acted on impulse to get him back, ignoring one of the most important aspects of a roleplay game and breaching IC knowledge.
Why you think you should be unbanned: I'm remorseful for being an immature gamer and fully understand the initial issue, and recently remembered the amount of fun I'd had on /tg/station, which I discussed with Mengde. We agreed that it's something we both want to return to because it was a stupid reason to throw it away - Space Station 13 is a game I struggled to enjoy anywhere else. With it having been over a year, and having matured and living a different life in general, I'd love to give it a go again, ensuring my behaviour falls within both the rules and what would be respectful to other players - because nobody deserves to have their fun ruined for OOC revenge, and because nobody should have to waste their time dealing with us doing that.
I respect that our appeals are close together, but I have zero intentions of allowing a friendship ruin the fun for others, and ultimately ourselves, and I'm sure Mengde feels the same way - otherwise we wouldn't be putting the effort into coming back. I'm a big fan of how this place is run and the community level on these servers and would be grateful to become part of it again if it were possible.
Your side of the story: I have no excuse for my behaviour that round, but I apologise. I was screwing about as a traitor geneticist, put a monkey DNA injector into the corridor labelled "hulk", the detective tracked down my prints and injected it into me. I got angrier than I should have, opened a text chat with my metafriend Rimj0b (The admins were aware we were metafriends previously) and gave him my uplink password, and got him to revolver the detective to death. He was reluctant, but I angrily insisted.
Why you think you should be unbanned: I've come back because I miss /tg/station, I enjoyed my time there and would like to be allowed back. I understand that the metacomm rule is one of the most (if not the most) important rule this server has, and have no qualms about receiving my ban in the first instance, however it has been a long time since then and I very much regret throwing my access to a great game away in a moment of anger, and would appreciate being given a second chance.
