[Saegrimr] - banned without cause
Posted: Sun Sep 21, 2014 2:51 am
Byond account and character name: Slammo1 - Randy Giles
Banning admin: Saegrimr
Ban reason and length: 1440 minutes - Reason: Unreasonable escalation of an accidental flash into murder. Metagaming that he may have been a rev, or a traitor, despite not even attacking him afterwards. Brained him afterwards to get a response and then flushed the MMI into disposals while I was mid-conversation with him
Time ban was placed (including time zone): 9/20/14 - 10:23 pm EST
Your side of the story: I was the sole roboticist. Alias Coldwood (might have name wrong) signed up as roboticist after round started. Within seconds of him entering the department, I get flashed by him. Yes, it's meta, but I assumed rev. When I got up and was not a rev, I assumed traitor. Regardless, I thought I was being attacked. Once I get up, I run out of the department, see Alias running around grabbing items, offering no explanation for why I just got flashed- I come back in, trying to stop what I believe to be an antag having tried and failed ineptly to kill me, and attack him with the surgical saw until death, receiving a "I'm not surprised." comment from him in response. Since we are in robo, I debrain him to turn him into a cyborg, because I don't want to completely ruin someone's round and give him a chance to explain himself. I would have happily rebrained him or borged him. Before the brain is even in the MMI, I start getting queries from the admin Saegrimr. All the while, the now MMI Alias is telling me how I am out of control, general OOC comments. I say in parantheses (I would have borged you, but now I have to explain myself to admins) or to similar effect. I explain what happened to Saegrimr, but from the start, he had clearly made up his mind that I was in the wrong, and refused to even consider the fact that 1) Unknown person runs into the dept 2) flashes me and my response to attack him was justified. According to him, I should have recognized it was a mistake (even though Alias offered no apology or acknowledgement for his flashing me for a good minute after it happened) and it was meta to attack him. After Alias continued his OOC "you will get whats coming to you" comments, even after I explained why I responded how I did, I simply threw his brain in disposals. Logs attached below, I should have started logging during the initial inquiry, but I crashed and lost half of them, but I assume admins can check that stuff. After I mentioned I was logging things, he banned me immediately with the comment "I look forward to it", even though the earlier conversation he had said that I was getting a warning.
Why you think you should be unbanned: How is it metagaming to assume someone who flashes you without providing any apology as to why they did so is an attacker and respond in kind? Additionally, what kind of argument can Saegrimr make for entering the conversation "you were wrong", when clearly I was not? I know that part of the logs isn't here, but admins please look into it. I wasn't aware that if people randomly flash you, you are required to wait and have them justify the flashing to determine it was an actual attack before trying to defend yourself.
