[Shadowlight213] Emily Ranger - IC OOCky ban in bad faith
Posted: Thu Oct 01, 2015 3:26 am
Byond account and character name: Amelius / Emily Ranger
Admin: Shadowlight213
Time incident occured: 11:00 ESTish
Detailed summary:
This was midgame in a changeling round. I, and the other changelings had put a crazy amount of work in setting everything up. I myself, even, had our team objective, Fiz Bump's ID and so forth, which I planned on using later in the round (we had a team objective of replacing one guy - Fiz).
While trying to subvert the AI by hacking in through the gravgen, meteors started raining upon the station, and a Centcom report was provided notifying all crew and spectators that the event was occuring. I, during a MAJOR lag spike where OOC was spammed with 'lag', in my haste, I accidentally said 'Mmeteors' in OOC, right before finishing my subversion. As subverting the AI loudly typically does, the HoP, HoS, and RD all beelined into the upload. I downed the HoS, and ran off with his body into southwest maintenance. Banned out of nowhere for five minutes tugging a barely unconscious HoS while braindead for five minutes. Of course, I come back and I'm eaten by a singulo (apparently, I thought I was incinerated), with no end to the round in sight.
Firstly, the sole reason for the no IC in OOC rule is to prevent OOC knowledge from contaminating IC knowledge, i.e. stating something OOCly that even a single person is not aware of, means that the sancticty and fairness of the game is compromised. However, this did not occur here. Everyone, both spectating and ingame receives the Centcom notification that meteors are raining, and, given that the statement was immediately after the update, it's impossible that even a single person, IC or OOC would be notified about meteors without being aware of them in the first place (ignoring the fact they shake the screen and make a crapton of noise).
Secondly, no notification to the player was made, i.e. at no point did Shadowlight attempt to contact me, or ask if it would be possible to find a safe location to wait out my ban, or to even just wait for me to escape my pursuers before applying it, which I find is rather distasteful and, as an antagonist in a situation that is transparent to the entire crew that is actively hunting me (I believe the AI notified the HoP/HoS/RD somehow, and probably a lynch mob elsewhere, and I had *just* ran away from the HoP/RD with the HoS, and had BARELY crit the HoS before being forcefully disconnected). Hell, he could have just teleported me to Centcom prison if that.
Thirdly, he admitted that these two cases are true, but didn't seem to care that he destroyed a central antags round with a ban in poor faith.
