Koenigsegg's PK Appeal
Posted: Fri Sep 21, 2018 3:02 pm
BYOND Name: Koenigsegg
Reason Banned: Week ban for self antagging and overall troublesome behavior as Prax Resca. Additionally, when you return, you may not play Prax Resca again, as they have been jdged banned from use. Continuing to play as Prax Resca will be considered ban evading.
Admin who banned: Jade Manique
Length Banned: One week.
Appeal Reason: Foremost, I entirely accept the ban. It is completely justified after what happened. I had joined as paramedic and, eventually, the round became quiet. I decided to leave for surface one and went to the auxiliary tool storage, where I built a fake wall and started digging a tunnel, as well as digging some 'rooms'. After building a few structures such as a table and stools, I offered another character to join me and chat a bit. We did that for a good while and then a cyborg joined the round, namely Kori-030. I started insulting them over stuff they have done with a specific character in another round. The security team told me to stop, and I kindly refused, as such I was asked to report to the brig. Busy roleplaying with the other character I was with, I did not come. After a while, another character joined us, they had no idea of what the place was nor who was in there, supposedly found it with optical meson goggles.
We spoke a little, told them not to mention my presence to security. They didn't seem to care much and just started chilling, just like we all were. Then a naga engineer whom I forgot the name barged in, not too sure what they did but I asked them to leave. They did, afte claiming that were merely looking for stuff that may've been damaged. After leaving, they came back and clawed me, to which I retaliated for a few seconds just so they would eventually leave, and for good. Once I came back, they had called security and, when back to chilling with my 'friends', an officer entered the tunnel with a baton out, and turned it on. Due to the unfair treatments I am subject to, I had planned an 'escape tunnel' and went for my drill then dug the last rock to go outside and flee from the security officer that, obviously, only had one intent, despite me not even being an active threat. The rest is pretty obvious, phoron leak that flooded the tunnel and the auxiliary tool storage as well as the hallway, although not on my doing for the latter.
I was finally arrested and put in HuJ (Hold until Judgement) for the rest of the round, which was maybe half an hour. Now, I fully accept the ban. However, I had never heard of the permakill and tempkill or suspension system. After reading the rules, I discovered than, according to it, I was never warned about potentially facing any of those courses of action, be it in admin PM, OOC, LOOC or announcements. I am fully aware of the nature of my character, the fact that it generates a lot of salt / angst and hatred, however as of lately I haven't done anything malicious, most importantly, I have improved with my character's behavior, barely hostile anymore to strangers over a simple attempt to an introduction, for example. I have been working on a clean background for Prax, in order to instate some sort of line of conduct for her, because I do not show any interest in a clusterfuck simulator either. And also because there are other players and characters I care for enough that I wish to improve, myself.
Should the PK 'notice' on Prax Resca be lifted, I promise that I will make considerable efforts in order to improve on her behavior and make it appear less of an antag, eventually having it slightly more open and friendly to others. I figured I'd apologize about all of this, this was not my intent and, despite the fact that the goal and ins and outs of my character are often, if not always, misunderstood. I do focus on providing fun to everyone, as much as possible, however I cannot satisfy everyone and some players may be less open to specific parts of my roleplay. However, I know that doing something at the cost of a player's enjoyment, even if it's only one, means that I'm doing it wrong and that this'll change in the future, if you decide to forgive me and give me a second chance.
This is a game, I am here to have fun. We all are, and I am sorry if I was more of a bother than a fun partner. There is a lot to blame me for, there is a lot to change too. Nobody is perfect and, I personally consider myself below average. Even below poor, most of the time. I'm aware of my flaws and I seek to work together to make this work out. Prax was never meant to be a shady antag, but an original character with whom people could find and experience something unusual, something that we do not commonly see on the server. I can tell that I have failed. Perhaps the idea is not bad, but the way it was played was poorly handled on my side, due to the lack of a clear and specific line of conduct. There was no background at the time, no example on how she would've reacted to a specific situation, instead making it some sort of free pass to fuck around recklessly. This is entirely my fault for playing an unfinished character with a dangerous concept that, well, eventually led to this ban.
I am sincerely and deeply sorry for my behavior, and I promise solemnly that, should my character, Prax Resca be once again allowed to be played, there will be efforts made to change the way I play her. Should I fail again, I will accept the decision made and not even bother appealing, because this is with humility that I deem the recent decisions taken completely justified. However, I now beg to be forgiven for my mistakes, not even for my own sake, but the sake of the players and characters I've left behind me, with whom I had good IC relations and that I failed to focus on to build a better character.
Additionally, at the beginning of the appeal reason, I hope it was alright to post a summary of the events, in order to give you my side of the story, since nobody inquired at the time. Of course, this is not posted in order to prove the admin wrong, it does not constite a reason for my actions either.
