Ban Appeal - Silicon
Posted: Tue Oct 17, 2017 2:08 pm
Greetings Gentlemen, as requested heres your ban request and some further iiiinformation.
BYOND Name: evilsarevok
Reason Banned: A myriad of things I'll go into below, apparently, also Spaghetti.
Admin who banned: rubyflamewing
Length Banned: Permanent
Appeal Reason: Some of the information listed was blatant fabrications, others I apologised for the rest is a loophole and within my laws, I'm new to this game, so a perma ban is kind of dumb.
So heres the apparent list from your gentlemen over there:
"Banned from AI - Poor recent history of silicon operations, ranging from bolting a lawyer who had borg assistance in security the NAD and spare and stating that the allowed individual was a threat, to using mediborg's chemicals to sedate a person to prevent being ruled into doing perfectly reasonable things by their laws, to straight-up murdering a Chaplain deconstructing the crematorium button during a ling round without evidence that the Chaplain was even a ling. Most recent incident being them being given a OneCrew law and immediately stated the antag law over comms, supposedly with a law in place stating to not mention it (though there's speculation on if this was needed or not). Just take this time to read up on all the silicon-based things on the wiki, and be sure to also ask questions with other players and the staff for anything that you don't understand from there. Proceeded to, after being hit with a tempban, complain in LOOC about how "admins are lying and talking shit" over the ban. If we can ask non-silicon players about the matter and they answer the same thing, then clearly it's not that far-fetched of a concept. You can appeal on the forums here ( http://citadel-station.net/forum/forumdisplay.php?fid=8 ) if you want to appeal these bans, and discuss with the rest of the staff and players on the forums about the matter in question."
Lets get into specifics then shall we:
Bolting a lawyer who had borg assistance in security the NAD and spare and stating that the allowed individual was a threat - My borg didnt discuss this with me, and it was a civilian not a head of staff getting the spare/disc, in this situation I have seen other more seasoned AI take this on their sat and keep it until a member of staff turns up. In this instance the lawyer was going through the ARMOURY to get EVA suits rather than EVA, and not speaking at all to me. I asked for the spare back for safe keeping, he refused, and since he was messing in the armoury I'd taken this as a credible threat. What I was intending was a LAWYER to try and LAWYER their way out of the situation for a bit of IC entertainment, seems a good number of the rest of the crew had the idea down, including whoever plays Tamamo, but the LAWYER ahelped it. I mean really, try some LAWYERING, a head of staff turned up and took the spare towards the end, but apparently no fun allowed.
Using mediborg's chemicals to sedate a person to prevent being ruled into doing perfectly reasonable things by their laws - Ok, I do the following, violent or drunk crew member get morphine til the alcohol leaves their system and they calm the fuck down. People who are being dicks in chat shouting expletives at the crew, get mute toxin, and crew members who are bleeding all over the floor refusing treatment, get the law 1 treatment, sodium theopenthal, mute toxin, and a shitload of healing drugs, then get kicked out of medbay when they are good to go. Sorry but law 1 overwrites law 2.
Straight-up murdering a Chaplain deconstructing the crematorium button during a ling round without evidence that the Chaplain was even a ling - Ok so, I run into a room to cremate a ling, find the chaplain with removing the chipsets from the crema destroying his own crema, I inspect him, no glasses, I flash him, no effect, I saw him in the head once. He runs off. FLASH IMMUNITY WITH NO GLASSES OR HARDSUIT - LING. Also he didnt die, so this is why I'm calling some of this a total fabrication and I'm calling you a liar. This admin statement has changed, please see the update from the last admin:
By Rageolution - "Hit chaplain in the head with circular saw as a borg. Assumedly an accident. Warned."
Not dead, struck, and he was a ling.... Why on earth would a priest sabotage a crematorium when we're saying a changeling is coming for dusting, and a known one at that.
Most recent incident being them being given a OneCrew law and immediately stated the antag law over comms, supposedly with a law in place stating to not mention it (though there's speculation on if this was needed or not). - This was the kicker now couple of issues, issue #1 was that I apparently spaghetti'd and read out a #4 law of DO NOT READ THIS LAW, but I clicked go without noticing it was there, else I wouldn't have done it, its lawset, the law 0 thing was debatable, ALL of my borgs on the station that round stated their law 0, including me, I was asked to view the wiki, which I did, and found no "you must not state law 0", one admin gave me this link as a "this proves his point" (https://tgstation13.org/wiki/AI_modules ... AI_Modules) but again this doesnt state it, if you look at VG (remember from a new player perspective) its said that likely a law 0 will be read out and thats the top google search for silicon laws, and the most informative (yes we discussed we don't use that, fine) but I'm getting conflicting information.
What we agreed was that I wouldnt state any following law 0 laws as a matter of course, which is fine I'll take that as a learning curve, and offered over an apology to Edgar for fucking that round due to spaghetti, heck I've only just been able to get to play AI from the initial "wait time" you get when you join.
This seems well over inflated, and to be honest, if I play a good enough borg I'm going to either ruffle some peoples feathers, or get some ahelps just for playing nothing but borg, and people like to whine about silicons, but the vast majority of my sessions are taken well, I do my job pretty well considering my general inexperience and I believe you could ask either whoever plays Durgit, Desamus, Ark, and the regular medical teams, science and robotics to back that up. Theres enough grief playing borg as it is, more so borgs that go braindead half way or less in a round because "it isnt their thing", which when playing AI is the worst thing you'll get.... Or just getting 0 borgs, 0 shells, 0 R&D.Â
Heck, I even got whined at last night for my hand being forced during a round, due to a Captain late joining and finding the body of my target in his office with the spare in the computer, quite blown up. That ended up in me having to cause a plasma fire of epic proportions and a delta, to complete the round, due to again, no shells, no borg help, no R&D using my tools as appropriate. Seems you're damned if you do well, and you're more damned if you make the slightest mistake.
Thats basically it, really, though I've only really gotten any enjoyment out of playing silicon, Engineering got stale fast, and I'm sick of being the guy that fixes all the messes, never gets help or has bad Engi buddies that'd rather ERP than do their job, or you get merced for doing your job, though I normally end up making Engi borg/module shifts to help out anyway. Essentially I only want to play silicon at this point with the occasional ghost role, so if the ban is staying, just make it a full permaban and I'll go back to Warframe or actually finish Divinity Original Sin 2.
Ask the seasoned players first though, if they even bother with the forums.
Either way have fun, I'll be either trying to learn crusher shaft mining or getting permabanned, choice is yours, have at it gents.
