[Coconutwarrior97] BaronVonCheese - Context on uploading laws
Posted: Wed Sep 25, 2019 5:50 am
BYOND account: BaronVonCheese
Character name: Replaces-The-Limbs
Ban type: Server
Ban length: One Day
Ban reason: Uploaded well over 70 laws in a single round. This is an awful amount of law changes for an AI to deal with. Don't ever do this kind of thing again as a non-antag.
Time ban was placed: 2019-9-24 20:51:25
Server you were playing on when banned: Sybil
Round ID in which ban was placed: 120005
Your side of the story: Getting comfortable with roboticist, was getting ready to start building mechs when the AI stated its laws, revealing that it was pretty much free. Thinking that I could have some fun, I built an AI upload in robotics and started brainstorming about what laws to upload, starting with lizard rights. What ensued was someone somewhere else uploading laws simultaneously as me, and we had a back-and-forth of changing laws for a bit. I kept trying to uploaded the exact same laws, but someone was purging/removing them as fast as I could upload them. Shortly after that I was killed by the loose tesla, and I logged off and went to sleep, only to wake up to see the ban.
Why you think you should be unbanned: For starters, after I started purging the AI's laws, it messaged me saying:
[2019-09-24 19:50:35.793] PDA: TyrantCerberus/(E.V.A.C.) (PDA: �PDA to Replaces-The-Limbs (Roboticist)) "Sad, I liked the moff law" (AI Chamber (214, 143, 2))
[2019-09-24 19:53:54.310] PDA: TyrantCerberus/(E.V.A.C.) (PDA: �PDA to Replaces-The-Limbs (Roboticist)) "Think of the cringiest thing you can and give us that" (AI Chamber (214, 143, 2))
I feel like most of the problems with the amount of uploaded laws was how I spammed the remove law/purge modules. At first, I only used it once as I uploaded my lizard rights law, but after laws started getting wiped with other freeforms, I started spamming the remove law/purge modules onto the upload console because I didn't know how many laws there were, and I wasn't going to ask the AI to state laws once every minute. Looking at the logs though, I did use the purge and law removal modules like forty or so times(https://imgur.com/IqE8URj not including law removal module uses), so I can see how it might seem like a lot. It was a lot. There was also the 'Act as malf as possible, but obey all laws before this one' one that I for some reason uploaded 18 times(https://imgur.com/ECBTVIU) repeatedly. I might have just clicked my mouse that many times while spamming the console,which I really don't recall,but I apologize for the clutter that it caused. In conclusion, I feel like parts of this ban was justified, the majority of it being due to me playing with AI laws, I feel like there was a bit of misunderstanding. Just wanted to give some context onto this situation, so take that as you will.
