Your appeal:
It’s been indicated to me that the problems are less to do with shooting the mp, which is one isolated incident, and more to do with my overall note history and communication with staff. I’ll address the latter first.
CM is what got me interested in this game, I had only played ss13 a couple times before and wasn’t that interested. I think this is important because I have never played a game before where I have had to communicate with admins as much as this one, so it’s a unfamiliar thing to me. When I have communicated with staff my intention was not to be disrespectful, moreso I’m just reluctant to because I just want to play the game. In situations where I have broke the rules and an admin messages me like in this last ban, my perspective is that both I and the admin know i’m getting a ban regardless of what is said, so it seems pointless to me to communicate here. Maybe I wouldn’t have got a perma had I taken time to communicate with the admin but I don’t know that for sure.
I’ll just give an overview of my notes as a whole from what I can remember. The only example of intentionally griefing I can remember was throwing grenades in the alamo as a friendly UPP i think this would have been a EORG ban had I been a marine, though i wouldn’t have done this had I been a marine. I also pushed out 3 xenos from the alamo, who as it turns out were all afk and right after i pushed them out the queen launched. This was really stupid on my part but also very unlucky. Some of my notes are just me breaking the rules and then learning not to do something, i.e deploying to the field as the QM, or switching my ID with other players which are things I haven’t done since.
Lastly I’ll address the incident with the MP which led to the ban. I was trying to get robust at marine and just wanted to deploy as soon as possible, it was a latejoin so I deconned the window in the hanger to see what the alamo was doing. I think a DCC ratted on me for DTGP which pissed me off since marines use this console to check on the alamo nearly every round. I think I vaguely remembered some rule about escalation with MP’s, and decided I was going to make a run for it so i fired warning shots around the mp not intending to hit thinking this would dissuade him from chasing me. It obviously didn’t since he followed me into maints where I pointblanked him with a shotgun. This is obviously very stupid, I know now I could have just taken two minutes with the MP to resolve the DTGP charge and avoided all of this, but once I fired warning shots i figured my sentance would be longer and just choose to shoot the MP instead.
I tried to keep this as brief as possible, not everything is addressed in lots of detail. I would appreciate if replies were kept open incase you want me to elaborate, or if there is something I didn’t address. It’s also clear to me in addressing my notes that my main problem is griefing, whether intentional or not and If i rejoin the server I will make a conscious effort to RP situations like this last one.
