Why are you making this appeal?(Check what applies):
(x) - I was permabanned and I want another chance
Why should this appeal be accepted?: I've had a few people (including admins) request that I give this a shot due to how long it has been, which I have been quite hesitant about. But here we are.
During 2022-2023 I was a part of a discord where things could get very, rule bendy at times. Things there were pretty toxic often, and there were quite a few angry ick-ocks/metacomm moments. On this day I was addressed by headmins with the instances that I had broken the rules in the discord so I'll discuss them now.
Offense 1: Nations bitching
I don't have a defence for this one; I was just being a little bitch over it being a 'Nations round'. Admin Mr.Fish was running an event in which engineering was meant to build a fort, the players uttered the words 'Engitopia'. Because of this, I took the most mature approach I possibly could have; I bitched about it over Discord by telling people not to join and then sulked by asking. The round thankfully wasn't impacted by my behaviour, Mr.Fish has told me that my actions didn't do anything, and reiterated that essentially I was just being whiny over it.
In an ongoing round, I was PMed in private by a player in the discord about someone's questionable behaviour. This was around midnight for me, so I got out of bed to join in on ahelping said behaviour to get extra attention on the case, as the PMs made it seem like they were having difficulty doing anything. While logged in for the ahelp, the person doing questionable things got killed, so I malded at him in deadchat. At the time I didn't really think of whether logging in for this action would be against the rules or not, this part of the ban made me realize it is definitely a big rule break. Sorry about this, didn't mean to cause trouble with this one.
I will opt out of posting the evidence of this one to prevent more drama. Playersclub doesn't get more fuel.
Offence 3: Ick Ocking over carp
During the time prior to this event taking place, there was a code oversight in which carps were ignored by turrets due to turrets not targeting normal mobs. This was first reported in this PR and was an ongoing issue at the time. https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/issues/73809
During this round, I heard the noise of a carp teleporting into my seat; without saying anything in the game, I simply closed the client and bitched about it in the discord. It seemed like an unwinnable situation to be in, and at the time, I didn't think of contacting admins.
Where I have been since then.
Since the ban, I have mostly been playing on Lobotomystation, a server themed around the Project Moon franchise. I have over 100 hours on their main server, and another 100 on their RP map. Unfortunately, I can't provide proof of the RP hours at the moment. I gained approval as a trusted player during December.
Drama bullshit
My interactions with the catcord have been, pretty limited. I've spoken with the admins on my relation with individual members since then; if any admins observing this thread wish to know, they're free to request information from me or the admins. The last thing any normal person wants is more drama from this situation, so information will not be made public to players.
Now what?
It'd be nice to come back; it has been about six months since the ban, and I miss quite a few people from TG. Being able to return would be nice. I apologise to the admin team about everything that happened and the lengthy investigation over the discord. The admins treated me well during this time; I appreciate their kindness and professionalism.
