BYOND account: EmpressMaia
Character name: MaiaRoentgen
Ban type: Server
Ban length: 7 days
Ban reason:
Time ban was placed: 2022-05-08 02:50:29
Server you were playing on when banned: Manuel
Round ID in which ban was placed:
Your side of the story: i dicked around on station while a wedding was going on at CC, i hacked into the armoury and grabbed a flash bang grenade, ran around the station ssome more before returning to the wedding, once the wedding ended and the bride and groom vanished i threw a primed flash bang grenade into the area between the pews.
Why you think you should be unbanned: It was a single flashbang, and i payed for it by getting spaced by the admins online and dying so i couldnt fuck with the wedding anymore.
Anything else we should know:

I was the banning admin and I'll explain what happened. During an admin event you chose to act disruptive in a way that wasn't conducive to the situation, as well as the choice you actively made to break into the armoury as a non-antagonist. I want to know why you thought this was a good idea, especially considering your existing ban.

[EmpressMaia]

i thought the rules would be laxed during an event, so i just wanted to fuck around. i mainly thought the rules were laxed because i saw an engie or atmos tech maybe turn the tool storage room into a pure plasma chamber

[EmpressMaia]

which i dont think is usually allowed? could be wrong though

[Cheshify]

I do not believe seeing someone else potentially breaking the rules, and then deciding the rules are allowed to be broken is a solid train of logic. Additionally, you had previously hopped the bar counter, set the bartender on fire, and then complained when you were attacked in turn. This will be added to the note, since it does factor into the ban.

The bottom line is, you saw an event, and attempted to disrupt it and break common-sense MRP rules like "don't break into the armoury while you're a non-antagonist and there's no threat."

Note Updated to:
"Banned from the server for 1 week - As a non-antagonist, acted disruptively during an admin event, attacking event jobs and throwing drinks at people enjoying the event. When finally escalating to fighting other patrons, they were crit, deathgasped, revived, and then hacked into the station armoury so they could throw flashbangs at people enjoying the event."

[EmpressMaia]

i didnt mean to set the bartender on fire, i threw drinks at them because they punched me and table slammed me multiple timess

Ban reason:
Time ban was placed: 2022-05-08 02:50:29

That's not correct. The ban was placed on the 28th, not the 8th.

[EmpressMaia]

oh my bad

[Cheshify]

I want to know why you chose to act disruptive at the bar (throwing drinks at people, starting fights, hopping the counter), and why you chose to break into the armoury.

[EmpressMaia]

i threw drinks at the bartender because he table slammed and punched me, i hopped the counter because i wanted to make nar sours, i dont have an excuse for breaking into the armoury

[Cheshify]

Alright. You very much could have chose to work diplomatically, by talking to the bartender and asking to be allowed on the other side of the counter to make drinks, and none of this would have happened. As such, I will be denying this ban appeal.

[EmpressMaia]

i couldnt have acted diplomatically. i was assaulted and pursed to death, not even by the bartender. i tried typing and talking to them but they kept attacking me

[EmpressMaia]

and me and the bartender later came to a truce

[EmpressMaia]

is this appeal still under admin scrutiny

[Drag]

As Chesh has stated above your appeal was denied. Of course you can request a headmin review but as it stands your appeal was denied.

[EmpressMaia]

id like a headmin review

[Timberpoes]

Both your appeals are under headmin review at the moment. We're in the process of discussing them, but have no ETA for a proper response at this moment.

[mrmelbert]

We're going to uphold this ban.

We've agreed that hacking into the armory to throw flashbangs into random groups of people as a non-antag in general is a dick move, more-so under our MRP ruleset. As such, we believe the ban is just.

Considering this occurred during an admin endorsed and hosted event, we also believe the duration was acceptable. The rules of our servers don't entirely disappear if an event is being hosted by admins, and being a jerk will likely net you greater punishments for attempting to disrupt special events. Admin events are often observed by multiple admins, so stirring trouble during them is not a very good idea.
