Your appeal:
I would like to dispute the notion of having had malicious intent. However, it is a logical conclusion to arrive at if seen from the perspective of staff for the round.
For the context of what had occurred, I had originally intended to just spend most of the round observing due to being fatigued, I have been playing CM for many years but as I take breaks from Byond for many months, therefore I do no longer recognise 95% of player characters. The reason I was intending to observe was because I noticed Jester Crimson’s character (the only one I recognized) spawned as CLF survivor in the round, and being outdated on various aspects of the current server build, I was intending to just see how their character could survive since I come from a time period where there were no CLF survivor spawns.
However, the survivor character death that resulted in this ban was not Crimson’s character. The map of this round was LV-624, the survivor (whom I do not recognize) built or placed a coffin not too far from the window of the LV-624 kitchen, in the vines although it was still visible even to non-ghosted characters.
From there, I had the idea to spawn as a lesser drone to go up to them, force them out of hiding (because its technically a high traffic area where xenos often wander around) and get killed by them so I could go back to observing how Crimson’s character would survive. It would allow that survivor the lesser drone engaged to flee to a better hiding spot.
Unfortunately, things did not pan out that way. It seemed my ping was increasing as the server pop increased(I experience connectivity issues when server pop reaches the higher side) and by the time the lesser drone reached the survivor’s coffin to hit it, there was some lag from my side and I probably clicked far too many times more than was intended/required and by the time I heard the sound of bones cracking, it was probably already too late as I disengaged the lesser drone and it then perished from depleting health.
After which my connection to the server broke and I was unable to reconnect for a while. By the time I was able to reconnect, the ban had already been instituted and therefore I was unable to speak to any staff inquiries.
I understand the circumstances would logically lead to the conclusion the staff member made. Furthermore, while I do not know how far back records tied to my ckey go since the server has undergone a few changes over the years, it will at least show I have never committed such a rule break in the past. I will however, make it a point to avoid such foolish actions in the future as I have in this instance.
Thus, I humbly request consideration for the lifting of this ban or the reduction of the ban duration.
