Byond account and character name: AssassinT90/Charles Schofield
Admin: Stickymayhem
Time incident occured: 06/29/2014, 04:00 PM (GMT-3)
Detailed summary:
The round begins. I upload a job-identifying script to tcoms, so as to make communication easier between players.
There is no HoS. I invite detective to my office. He will be the new HoS. As I insert the silver ID into the Identification Console, the chaplain Kelenius bursts with guns from armory, where he emagged his way in. I manage to subdue the chaplain and he ends up dead. I then decided to keep the chaplain's e-bow instead of my e-gun. Big mistake. Next thing I do is go to armory and place a barricade so that people can't get the few remaining weapons.
Since we had no AI, I decide to make the traitor chaplain our new AI. Because that's what I do. I keep players in the game. Sadly, Kelenius tells me he was jobbanned from AI. Shortly after that, tcoms is bombed. I fruitlessly try to repair it. After Kelenius tells me it's a double agent round and after seeing tcoms won't be coming back on again, the shuttle is called. While we wait for the shuttle in my office, I hear an e-sword being used in the main hallways. I grab a flash (in case it was a double e-sword) and I go out to see a fully-bloodied security officer dragging another (wounded) security officer AWAY from medbay (he was heading north, towards bridge entrance, instead of east, which was medbay). I shoot him with my e-bow, and reach for my cuffs, only to realize I have none. I keep shooting to keep him down, and then lights run out. I must mention that I was very afraid at this point, so I decided to run inside to the bridge. That's when I get stunned and cuffed and die shortly afterwards.
The officer I shot multiple times (Sven Brunner) with my e-bow went to critical because of the toxin damage. He immediately succumbed to death and ahelped it to Stickymayhem, even though he would certainly have made it if he had stayed in his body.
Me and Stickymayhem then had a long discussion about my "powergaming mindset", with me trying to explain that it was a bad mistake that happened at the end of a very stressful round and he not giving a fuck about anything I said. I then told him to ask Kelenius' opinion, the traitor chaplain whose MMI was in my backpack seeing everything. His answer?
I'm honestly sorry about the officer that died. And I am also sorry that Stickymayhem is not willing to take anything other than "the logs" into consideration. And then he banned me:
You have been banned by stickymayhem.
Reason: Critted a security officer with an ebow for dragging another security officer. Indicative of his powergaming mindset, assuming they must be a traitor and deciding to attack them just in case. Claimed that it was based on his lack of cuffs, which isn't good enough, as well as his fear, which isn't really good enough either. He is a decent guy but his playstyle just doesn't change and he isn't acknowledging his mistake in the slightest.
Notice this bit: he isn't acknowledging his mistake in the slightest.
Now notice this:

Later on:Stickymayhem: His opinion is irrelevant to the situation.
Stickymayhem: I don't need a biased second opinion. I have your account, I have his account, I have the logs and I have your extensive history. [Does that sound like profiling to you?]
AssassinT90: So you're not going to ask Kelenius what he thinks?
Stickymayhem: No because Kelenius' opinion is irrelevant. I have the situation. [Does that also sound to you any bit like someone who has already made his mind and isn't willing to change it?]
Stickymayhem: I determine the motive behind your actions, I determine the factors and I determine what happened by the logs. [In short: I AM THE LAW!
Is this admin really saying that the situation is irrelevant? Is he really saying that all that matters is logs?]
I'm honestly sorry about the officer that died. And I am also sorry that Stickymayhem is not willing to take anything other than "the logs" into consideration. And then he banned me:

Now notice this:
And, well, I'm going to finish with this:PM to-Admins: Perhaps you should consider that I don't have perfect knowledge of everything?
PM to-Admins: That I have to make certain choices in emergencies, and that improvisation often ends up with mistakes?
(...)
PM to-Admins: Yes. It was a mistake to carry an e-bow.
PM to-Admins: I know. The e-bow was a mistake. Yes. It was a mistake.
(...)
PM to-Admins: Yes. I fucked up. Was it because I meant it? No. I tried hard to let everyone have a fun round.
(...)
PM to-Admins: Yeah. I'm not being a condom. I'm actually going out there and doing shit, even if that means I make mistakes from time to time.
(...)
PM to-Admins: When you play captain six hours per day, one mistake or another will happen.
(...)
PM to-Admins: You just lock into a mistake and say: Look, that's all he does, guys. He's a powergamer.
Great advice! Thank you, Stickymayhem.Stickymayhem: Your mistake is that you feel cornered and like your only option is to shoot someone. But honestly, you could just let yourself die.

And remember: The video begins after I heard the e-sword hits.Charles Schofield: Wasn't that guy the one with the e-sword?
Gonzalo Trident: What?
Charles Schofield: Ah, I wish I had cuffs. [All the shots with e-bow would be unecessary if I had cuffs]
Kelenius: Looked like so.
