BYOND account: Cooldude22333 Character name: Jack Anton Ban type: Security ban. Captain ban. Ban length: 7 days. Ban reason: Banned from Roles: Captain, Head of Security, Warden, Detective, Security Officer for 1 week - (MRP) As a detective, used lethals against a shaft miner who was known to have a power miner. The shaft miner in question was attempting to break into the bridge in order to attack an abductor who had already kidnapped and experimented on roughly four people. As per roleplay rule six, killing the shaft miner while there was little to no escalation doesn't fit the punishment for them nor does it fit the standards for security on Manuel. You already have a history of poor plays as security and your tendency to use lethals when it isn't warranted is starting to be a common occurrence. Please be more careful in the future, any more instances of this will be met with a harsher punishment. Time ban was placed: 02:34:53 Server you were playing on when banned: Manuel Round ID in which ban was placed: 170811 Your side of the story: A miner was threatening to kill two abductors in bridge after they had contacted us and where passing notes to the captain, explaining they had completed their objectives on SSD people.
The miner had a power miner and he broke one of the doors into bridge, so the captain and I attempted to arrest or put him in crit, and because of the power miner we responded with lethal force until he ran away. After a bit of chasing I gave up because he was no longer actively threatening to do anything. I ran into him along with the captain in the hallway and we began to argue over his justification to attempt to break into a secure area until beepsky began arresting the miner. At that point I brought out my gun knowing a fight was going to happen. The power miner came to defend the miner and I began shooting him with a 38. Captain assisted in this as well. The miner was dusted, ending the encounter. Why you think you should be unbanned: I believe the wording in this ban is leaving out the fact that the Abductors where not actively threatening anything and also speaking with the captain. They had told us they researched on SSD people, and while its not exactly great, we had no reason to believe they where lying and they had proven non-hostile. The miner had mad threats against the abductors despite the words of me and captain and broke a door into bridge and attempted to get all the way in. He had attempted to break into a secure area, directly after threatening two people within it, meaning we had no way to tell if he was going to back down. I also attempted to speak with the miner after the first encounter, trying to reason with them, yet they refused to listen to anything me or captain had to say, also claiming we may possibly be "Brainwashed" when we where not. This ban note and sec ban is worded in so it seems I actively sought to kill the miner, or that I was supporting actively hostile abductors who where kidnapping people, when in reality they where relaxing in the bridge and writing on paper to communicate with us, as well as the fact I attempted to peacefully resolve the situation after the initial fight. It also claims I have a "Shoot first, ask questions later" mindset, and while I recently had a note where I shot a clown over a altercation with a honk mech, as well as words, and it mentions history of "poor plays", and while I am willing to own up to honest mistakes and having a lapse in judgment, I do not believe this was that, nor do I believe I handled this in a way that breaks rule 6, as he was attempting to break into a secure area, and from everything prior, we had to assume he had murderous intent. During the second fight with the miner we began by speaking to him, before the beepsky came along and arrested him, by that point both parties had prepared to fight. If things had gone differently a peaceful outcome might have been possible, but the circumstances at the time made it difficult to arrest him due to his angered power miner. I would like to thank you for taking the time to read this, and while I disagree with the decision made here, I hold no Ill will toward Harricross.

Hi there, thanks for making an appeal.
We'll be going through your reply in chunks, so please bear with me.
I believe the wording in this ban is leaving out the fact that the Abductors where not actively threatening anything and also speaking with the captain. They had told us they researched on SSD people, and while its not exactly great, we had no reason to believe they where lying and they had proven non-hostile.
After reviewing the logs, I can agree that the abductors did experiment on SSD people. I will change the note to reflect that.
The miner had mad threats against the abductors despite the words of me and captain and broke a door into bridge and attempted to get all the way in. He had attempted to break into a secure area, directly after threatening two people within it, meaning we had no way to tell if he was going to back down. I also attempted to speak with the miner after the first encounter, trying to reason with them, yet they refused to listen to anything me or captain had to say, also claiming we may possibly be "Brainwashed" when we where not.
First of all, there was no indication via logs that you ever attempted or had the intention to de-escalate the situation by responding with, "I'll fucking kill you bitch." At this point, it's clear to me you were looking for an excuse to shoot your revolver at the miner.

Roughly a minute later, you actually did shoot at the miner with your revolver after threatening them with death. Keep in mind, this was also after you had pursued them back to cargo.
The miner's holoparasite retaliated once you shot them.

The captain did make vague indications that the abductors were friendly with the only reason, "They alreadt completed their objectives." They never explained the situation about the abductors only experimenting on SSD people. You, however did not at any point try to elaborate the situation to the miner or talk to them over comms first.
This ban note and sec ban is worded in so it seems I actively sought to kill the miner, or that I was supporting actively hostile abductors who where kidnapping people, when in reality they where relaxing in the bridge and writing on paper to communicate with us, as well as the fact I attempted to peacefully resolve the situation after the initial fight.
The ban/note does not imply you were actively helping the abductors. If that were the case, I would have stated it in the ban/note that you were actively assisting the abductor duo rather than escalation, punishment and security standards issues. Again, from earlier loggings, you did not attempt to peacefully resolve the situation.
It also claims I have a "Shoot first, ask questions later" mindset, and while I recently had a note where I shot a clown over a altercation with a honk mech, as well as words, and it mentions history of "poor plays", and while I am willing to own up to honest mistakes and having a lapse in judgment, I do not believe this was that, nor do I believe I handled this in a way that breaks rule 6, as he was attempting to break into a secure area, and from everything prior, we had to assume he had murderous intent.
By looking at your notes and bans, you have an extensive history of being excessive with your use of force and were noted the day before for dumping your revolver into a clown for calling you a coward. There are four instances of notes related to security, over-escalation and poor behaviour which you've accumulated within a five month timespan (excluding this note/ban you are appealing).
The ban should've been harsher as it appears to me that previous issues from earlier notes are resurfacing. Seven of your notes from 2019-03-25 to 2020-12-08 are also related to security, over-escalation and poor behaviour. These seven notes exclude non-security issues.
In relation to you breaking rule six, you applied lethal force to someone that yelled at you for shooting them and then you shot them again.
To add to this, you were hunting down the miner after they backed off of the Bridge and shot them at the Mining Office where you then later get into a yelling match with the miner. You finish them off with you starting the fight with hotshot .38 bullets.
During the second fight with the miner we began by speaking to him, before the beepsky came along and arrested him, by that point both parties had prepared to fight. If things had gone differently a peaceful outcome might have been possible, but the circumstances at the time made it difficult to arrest him due to his angered power miner.
I must admit, it's impossible to tell through logs if the holoparasite manifested and attempted to charge you, the captain or rest of security, but that question would've been brought up had you not logged out mid-ticket while roundend was delayed so we'll be going based off of attack logs.
Things would've gone smoother, had you handled it in a matter that didn't involve threatening the miner and shooting them. This all stemmed from that initial incident stated above.

All in all, using lethals with little to no effort to de-escalate as a detective where you know the end result is round removal for the other player and then committing to it isn't up to the standards for security on MRP servers. Additionally, hunting them after they had already backed off to cargo while threatening them even more is exceptionally iffy. I understand that it's hard to restrain someone that is using some sort of holoparasite, but it's not your duty as a detective to initiate, hunt and then execute the person involved when they had not made it clear they were some sort of antagonist.
I'll be changing the note some time today or tomorrow to better reflect the situation. However, the note itself is justified based on how you conducted yourself that shift and was escalated to a job ban in regards to your previous notes/bans.
