Byond account and character name: Cactos - Zoop
Banning admin: randolfthemeh
Ban type (What are you banned from?): Server ban
Ban reason and length: "Intentional release of the tesla engine as a non-antag with his clown associate. Upped to a week after further investigation." One week, 10080 minutes
Time ban was placed (including time zone): 2018-05-27 at 07:49:43 server time, Round ID 88551
Server you were playing when banned (Sybil or Bagil): Bagil
Your side of the story: I was riding a borg as a Mime, and after strolling around the station for some time, the borg had the idea that we should set up the tesla. It was my first time setting up this engine as I don't often play engineer (or never have), and I agreed as it might be a great learning experience. During some time as we worked on it, the borg drifted out of the room to do something else. The clown walked in through the open door and began helping me. After about 5 minutes we got the emitter thingies working, and we turned it on. The clown exclaimed "MORE POWER!!!" so we cranked it up to max. As we thought we were doing great, we called our borg mentor over to check on how things were running. The borg rolled in and said "Good work." The assistant who I believe rode in on the borg then screamed "TURN IT OFF, THE SHIELD ISN'T UP!" We turned it off but it was too late. The tesla was rampaging around the chamber. Some time later, it killed me. After the clown and I died, I said in deadchat, jokingly, "Clown, we did great work today." I'll admit this was not the best thing to say in the current situation. I waited about ten minutes after my death for an administrator message, but never got one so I assumed it wasn't that much of an issue. In hindsight, I should've ahelped this to get it solved before I left, but at the time I was feeling like playing on a different server, which was about to start a new round and I didn't want to miss any round-start role opportunities.
Why you think you should be unbanned: I don't think the ban should be lifted completely, as I did sort of ruin the round for everybody, but the ban reason itself seemed harsh to read, as the tesloose was not intentional. I personally believe a week ban is a little too harsh for an accident influenced and assisted by multiple people, even if all three of us received the same punishment. I think a three to five day ban would be more appropriate considering the circumstances, but that's not up for my judgement.
