BYOND account: Ateryk

Ban/note type (Server Ban/Discord Ban/Forum Ban/Note): Server Ban/Note/Job ban?

Ban/note duration: Permanent
Ban/note reason: Banned from Roles: Abductor, Xenomorph, Blob, Blood Brother, Changeling, Cultist, Heretic, Hivemind Host, Malf AI, Space Ninja, Operative, Syndicate Mutineer, Revolutionary, Revenant, Head Revolutionary, Space Dragon, Spider, Spy, Syndicate, Traitor, Wizard, Voidwalker permanently - During a lowpop round on MRP as an antagonist, wordlessly killed and dusted multiple people for no discernable reason. When pulled away for a ticket, DC'd immediately instead of responding. Ban moved to this ckey since this was meant to be their 'new' one, instead of the one they did this on.
Time ban was placed: 3/23/25
Server you were playing on when banned: Manuel
Round ID in which ban was placed: Round 250511

Why are you making this appeal? (Put an x in the boxes):
() - The ban/note is factually incorrect
() - The ban/note is not against the rules
() - The ban/note needs modification
() - The ban was unjustifiably harsh
(x) - I was permabanned and I want another chance

Why should this appeal be accepted?: There's not really an excuse I can give here to brush off what happened. It was late and I wanted to see what was going on before going to bed and I incidentally ended up as a traitor. While the admin characterizes the lobby as "low pop" there were actually 30+ people and like 6-7 people in my department, specifically IN atmos, with half of them not even being roles with any reason to be in atmos (like the chef if I remember). So instead of trying to slowly sabotage everything I got frustrated after a few minutes of just being unable to do anything without some random being there who, from my perspective, really had no reason to be there so I just got a gun and went postal wordlessly. I think if this just happened it would've been fine BUT as I was doing that one of the people I killed turned out to have been a changeling. So I killed him again and then dusted him and I'm pretty sure I ended up dusting another two people in my sadistic rage which is where I'll admit, even barring the wordless aspect of this, was a step too far. The admin then pinged me then teleported me into a secured location in the middle of a stand-off and I was already tired and kinda forgot I was on manuel since I was just going through both servers without regard so I left and was willing to take a temp ban or an antag ban for not responding but I got a full antag ban which, sure fair, but it has resulted in less than stellar experience for myself in ways I hadn't anticipated. Cult conversion is essentially round removal for me as another player takes my body which has happened about three times since the ban and is not a great experience and I can't play a lot of ghost roles like spiders. I'm fine with antag bans as a punishment but the cult one being a round removal and a lot of the ghost roles also being included I feel is a bit harsh.

hey there, had to go find my ticket with you since i was also confused why i would pull you to adminprison - it looks like i did it just so you wouldn't Get Got while talking to me, and to minimize the amount of people you were actively dusting during the confrontation. when you just DC'd instead of responding, this was moved into a permanent antagonist ban due to that, in an attempt to have you acknowledge what went wrong before having it lifted.

given you've already served a month of this ban, i'm willing to lift it altogether, and am currently looking into methods to check how many players were active in that round (rip scrubby my beloved) so that i can determine if i need to amend your note to remove the reference to this happening in lowpop altogether.

Yes, that was the reason you gave me at the time as well. I'm just going by the population that I saw on the pre-selection screen. I'm unsure if that counts ghosts or not, so it very well may have been lower than the 30's count I saw.
