"Consistently runs shitty gimmicks as captain"
Why do you get to decide for the players what gimmicks they want to enjoy? Who made you the person who decided what was good roleplay and what isnt good roleplay? What's the line where it's a "shitty" gimmick or a good gimmick? Where are the defined rules on this? Is this because my roleplay wasn't "realistic"? Do we ban for unrealistic roleplay now? I need more specifics than "shitty". Who decided it was shitty? Why was it okay for me to do one round with a head administrator thinking it's funny, and then another round I get banned for it? I didn't even go around griefing and raiding places. I literally sat in my office talking to and interacting with people all round. It was roleplay. Why do I get banned for it when the guy who literally plays Adolf Hitler gets to run around and gets an admin event based around him?

You'll know when it's shitty because your gimmick will get fucked up by the people in the round and the admins.

You'll know when your gimmick is good because other people will play along and the admins will assist your gimmick

if you're running a gimmick and people go offscript it's time to stop running your gimmick.

That's the thing. Players were going along with the gimmick and having fun. The admins were the ones who disapproved. Why do they get to decide it's shit if players enjoy it?
