Your appeal:
I am suprised how long it has been since my last appeal. Damn time has flown unusually quick this past half-year. I did intend to keep to only applying on a yearly basis (so to not annoy by applying under similar circumstances) but I think circumstances, at least for me, have changed enough for me to do it sooner this one time. If this seems like a frivolous appeal, and I haven’t seemed to change any, feel free to discard this out of hand, and I’ll strive to keep my appeals longer term.
I’d like to say again I am sorry for the destructive and toxic way I acted around early 2024. Time has a gradual way of making you hate your past selves, and, reading back some of my old posts, I hate the way I gave up an entertaining community to chase an unhealthy and neurotic spiral. I would like to think, through the deliberate and the gradual, I have learnt to handle the tendencies that caused hurt to my old self and other people.
I shall be honest, 2 years ago I didn’t do much stuff other than CM in my free time. That would be rather unhealthy for anyone to keep up with and, while it allowed me to do some great things, it meant my free time identity began to become intertwined with how things went in the CM community. When things didn’t go well, or I thought I deserved more, or I lost admin, it was really easy to slip into neuroticism and self-destruction. Now that it has been so long, sure I still run some stuff on PVE, but I’m much less ‘swim or sink’ about SS13 in my free time. I still want to see how PVP plays after such a long time, and I still want to contribute some of the time I have (because its uniquely entertaining and nostalgic) to tinkering with the game and interacting with the community, but its not the end of the world if I don’t.
I realise I have not kept up with a recommendation from my last appeal, and that may be the deciding factor against me. Chiefly, I have not (as was recommended) really been interacting with much of the PVP community or staff. If I can, allow me to excuse that it has been rather unnatural for me to interact with much of the PVP community directly anymore, and it feels like I’m forcing myself to interact with people who I share little common ground with (topics of complaint and development have really moved on.) Of course, now that I have some time available, I’ll probably talk to some of the dev/contrib people about finally finishing the damn dropship airlock PR, but apart from that I hope it is understandable how I consider a lot of PVP interaction I could do (so long as I am unable to play the game) false and undesirable. It is ultimately my responsibility, if I want to appeal in good faith, to use denial feedback very actively, but I hope its excusable that I have used most of my free time for other things.
If this seems at all like I could be a positive community member, I would very much like to revisit playing the game after such a long time. I am also sure to enjoy talking about the game to a community which, for any past flaws or toxicity (pot calling the kettle black I know,) is a singular bunch to me.
