[rubyflamewing]- Eastwardrope- Banned from cult for betraying my team

[Eastwardrope]

BYOND account and character name:

Banning admin: rubyflamewing

Ban type/duration (where you are banned from and for how long): Permanent: Main Cult Ban

Ban reason: Banned from cultist - Apparently suicided when converted to cult, and disconnected sometime afterward. This is a violation of Rule 6.4 ("If you are recruited into an antag team (rev, cult, etc), help your team. DO NOT EXPOSE YOUR TEAM PURPOSEFULLY. Job-banned players are removed from their bodies and replaced with a willing ghost upon conversion. If you like being in control of your own character then don’t go against your team."),

Your side of the story: I didn't suicide as a cultist when converted to cult I was sharded as I was the chaplain. I disconnected afterward a good bit later because my internet crashed and I had to reboot my router I came back after this. I had already called them out repeatedly because they locker-ed me and cuffed me as the CHAPLAIN so I called my exact position out and said ALL of their names damning them to be hunted. I went against the opposite team while I was chaplain then helped them for a bit after I rebooted and then died to mass laser fire when security invaded. The only way I could have suicided is against a firing line trying to kill security as a construct.

Why you think you should be unbanned: Because it's entirely false. I didn't suicide as a cultist. I didn't call out my team. I didn't go against them when I was a cultist. I didn't even get a chance to refute any of this before the ban was placed as well.

Becoming a shard is joining the cult. While I am unfamiliar to this previous admin, I would assume they slapped this if you were being exceptionally bad as a shard, not if you were being a chaplain.

Beyond that, this will need a headmin’s approval to be lifted due to the fact said admin is no longer here.

[Eastwardrope]

I had done all the calling out before becoming a shard I screwed the cult over BEFORE becoming a shard that's the thing I had seen all of what they had before sharding and I still had my headset and was fully alive. I had then crashed in-between sharding and becoming a construct like I had said my internet died I came back and immediately died to a wall of laser and ballistics.

Honestly, so long as you switched to helping the cult when you were sharded, which you said you did, I see no reason for the ban to stick. As a non cult AND the chappie, you're free to try and hinder them as much as possible. I'd put my support in this being lifted

[Eastwardrope]

I did support the cult as much as life and my internet would allow (Which wasn't much after being sharded) I think I lasted until I got shelled on mining? Not too certain on the fine details as it's been a long LONG while. It's also been a good bit since anyone, headmin or otherwise, has responded to this and I'm uncertain as to what to do to get it through the administrative cogs.

Hi Eastward, I'm happy to see you took the time to appeal your cultban.

Considering this ban was made in 2017 and that you've explained the reason of why you left the game as a shard, I am completely fine with lifting this ban.

Do make sure to help your team whenever you get cult again, but I'm sure you will do that now.

Have fun!
