[pandarsenic] lilghettoboy - metagaming

[asapworldwide]

Byond account and character name: lilghettoboy (don’t remember in-game name)

Banning admin: pandarsenic

Ban type (What are you banned from?): In-game permanent ban.

Ban reason and length: “Metagaming is bad, mkay. Raiding thte armory from space with your metafriend is not
acceptable behavior.” Permanent

Time ban was placed (including time zone): 2013-09-05 01:23:54 PST

Your side of the story: We were being chased by sec all around the station for some reason (I don’t recall for what). My first instinct was to find a way to defend myself and the first thing that I thought of was to get a weapon from the armory, which was obviously a stupid idea, but I obviously wasn’t thinking at the time. We were discussing our plan on an outside VOIP program and didn’t talk in-game during the armory because of the heat of the situation, but still should have.

Why you think you should be unbanned: I didn’t understand the severity of metagaming in the server and realized that metagaming is taken very seriously on /tg/ and will obviously not metagame anymore. I have been banned for over a year, and guarantee that something like this will never happen again.

I think the way we should try to do this is I'd like you to list everything you did wrong and why it was wrong. if you hit all of the major points, I wouldn't be averse to lifting the ban.

Well the first and biggest problem was using a VOIP program while playing the game because that's metagaming which is against the rules because it puts other players at a disadvantage. Another problem was that I raided the armory which isn't acceptable for someone who wasn't an antagonist.

I'll get this tonight and tentatively add that you prooooobably provoked sec fnr in the first place.
