why I should be unbanned:
if you ban or even note me for breaking the rules then it will hurt my chances of appealing bans I received on other codebases after breaking their rules because when they read about my rulebreaking it will give the impression that I broke the rules (which I did)

People really just need to not put themselves in situations like this. If you see something cool happening, feel free to take a ghost role, but there's zero situations where you can say "oh look something cool is happening", then take the role and immediately run to where it's happening where we won't see that and go "Oh, you're metagaming".

lamest shit i've ever seen. sets up cool encounter for players to stumble upon then this loser metagames it just to try and get the gamer gear. be better than this, it's not hard.

Also ashwalkers are antags so its perfectly fine to powergame as them.
Where did this guy get the idea that antagonists didnt have to follow the server rules dictating knowledge obtained while dead?

we can talk about meta gaming all day long but realistically what is the expectation here? realistically, if the ash walkers didn't find the ruin, would admins not have pressured them into finding it? like the end goal is for them to find the ruin.

it tangentially reminds me of the supermatter spider incident, because again, realistically, what is the goal here with the event?

also the lavaland box is literally like two screens wide, the ash walkers would have ended up finding it pretty quickly. again wtf is the goal here if not for them to find it

on second thought i've just realized that there were probably other ash lizards who were already playing for a good while, and the admins were intending to interact with those folks. it's kind of a dick move to spawn in and steal the show like that because High Damage Sword or whatever. i understand now.

He doesn't even really have THAT many notes, like I understand the concern and anxiety over it, but anyone who'd ask me if he should be QC or rule 0 banned would get a big ol' "not really" from me.

If nobody found it, the admin would have probably given them a hint as to where it was or breadcrumbed them towards it in some way, at which point it wouldn't have been metagaming. I think your insistence that this is some kind of trap kinda says more about your attitude about admins than it does anything that happened here.

- I didn't do the cheating that I clearly said I was about to do in dead chat
- But if I did it would have been fine
- And it's allowed for me to do it
- And you shouldn't note me for it because it's fine to cheat anyway
- Which I didn't do btw
- And if I did you should be grateful that I did

i didn't say it was a trap. i was just saying that it's weird to set up an event and then not expect people to go for it.

but i didn't realize that there were already other ash lizards, which was what the event was intended for, and not some bozo spawning in and swooping the fun from under their noses.

once upon a time i used to DM d&d for a friend group and they once lamented that they'd never gotten to complete the "classic" modules that everyone talks about. tomb of horrors, white plume mountain, temple of elemental evil, curse of strahd, etc.

so i started running it all for them. i wanted them to experience it fresh and let them enjoy something that could only be enjoyed once before you know the secret and the magic fades away. one of the members of that group started secretly obtaining and reading the pdfs for the modules so they could be the one to "accidentally" stumble on the treasure and "accidentally" solve all the puzzles so they could have the glory and gear. it was such a petty and shitty thing to do, not just to me as someone who was sacrificing her time and effort to plan all this shit but was also usurping the genuine exploration and discovery from the rest of the group who were excited to get to play. it was such an asshole move that i still remember it over a decade later and it still annoys me to think about.

obviously this is not a 1:1 translation of what's happening here but it's the same sense of entitlement that deprived another group of a cool little adventure that someone had gone through the effort to make for them. i really really hate this sort of attitude when it comes to these kinds of games. please don't be so fucking selfish when you're playing a multiplayer game that requires a social contract of trust in each other to not cheat for it to work at all. and definitely don't go all woe-is-me after you get caught about it. have a little bit of decency for goodness' sake.

sorry if i'm popping off hard on this because it feels like i am but genuinely this is the one thing you could do to piss me off more than anything else. i even think archie was being lenient here with just a ghostrole ban.

god, i remember back before his space ban he used to go grab the secret documents from a ruin and try to force centcom to give him even more gamer gear in exchange for them. and this was every round nothing funnier than seeing him harass the captain to let him use the communication console to message centcom for fifteen minutes just to get smited or have interns rob him.

We were playing Hoard of the Bitch Queen and this fucker was playing a rogue with a portable hole going to all the rooms with treasure and tucking it in said portable hole.

We ended up rather verbally kicking him and a friend of his (who was a colossal asshat) out and divvying up the treasure he's collected.

THERE WAS SO MUCH SHIT

so i started running it all for them. i wanted them to experience it fresh and let them enjoy something that could only be enjoyed once before you know the secret and the magic fades away. one of the members of that group started secretly obtaining and reading the pdfs for the modules so they could be the one to "accidentally" stumble on the treasure and "accidentally" solve all the puzzles so they could have the glory and gear. it was such a petty and shitty thing to do, not just to me as someone who was sacrificing her time and effort to plan all this shit but was also usurping the genuine exploration and discovery from the rest of the group who were excited to get to play. it was such an asshole move that i still remember it over a decade later and it still annoys me to think about.

obviously this is not a 1:1 translation of what's happening here but it's the same sense of entitlement that deprived another group of a cool little adventure that someone had gone through the effort to make for them. i really really hate this sort of attitude when it comes to these kinds of games. please don't be so fucking selfish when you're playing a multiplayer game that requires a social contract of trust in each other to not cheat for it to work at all. and definitely don't go all woe-is-me after you get caught about it. have a little bit of decency for goodness' sake.

sorry if i'm popping off hard on this because it feels like i am but genuinely this is the one thing you could do to piss me off more than anything else. i even think archie was being lenient here with just a ghostrole ban.

We ended up rather verbally kicking him and a friend of his (who was a colossal asshat) out and divvying up the treasure he's collected.

THERE WAS SO MUCH SHIT
it's not true d&d unless someone has to be physically restrained from trying to strangle the rogue

It just sucks cause now cowbotty boy will have a reason to deny my next appeal because he goes out of his way to find recent info about me.
"this sucks because I know I won't get (n+1) chances in the future"

if you know someone is on your ass, make sure you're not being a shit

also kudos to them for realizing they'll probably do something to get banned again. I'd look up their history but shit doesn't seem to be working for me
Weirdly based on their earlier posts I think they are talking about bans they are appealing on non-tg servers
I got that, I was thinking regardless of server they know they'll probably fuck it up
