BYOND Key: mikeywrenn
Total Ban Length: (The total time of your ban. You can also note your remaining time, though it is not required)
Banning staff member's Key: Alberyk
Reason of Ban: Infecting members of the station with a virus whilst not an Antagonist
Reason for Appeal: This was my second game of SS13 and I was set as a Virologist. I have no experience in this role and soon realised I was stuck as this for the entire round. I took to wiki and guides to try and learn how to do the job, but struggled a lot, finally just settled to roleplay. I talked with the two other Virologists until one of them left and I stayed with the second. I felt a bit pressured at this point and just mucked a few things up, I injected myself with some blood I'd taken because I wasn't properly focused, but was cured afterwards. I was then given a syringe and vial, and told to perform tests on the monkey, and the second Virologist left. I just injected the monkey and just waited for quarter of an hour, but nothing happened. So I walked out and along the corridors, at which point I threw the bloody vial onto the floor and ran away. Then when I was back near medical I found an SSD player and injected him with what was left.
I'm going to admit straight up, I was being a mong at this point. I didn't mean to throw the vial of blood, but I knew full well what I was doing when I injected the sleeping player. I ran back to Virology after this and was about to leave when I got contacted by an admin, questioning what I'd done. I freaked out and quit, because I knew what I'd done was stupid. It occurred to me that the virus would spread and then I was just worried after I'd left, but went to bed.
When I got back today, I was understandably banned. I'm sorry, I didn't understand the role and ended up taking out my frustrations in a stupid manner. I'd spent the last round, my very first, as an Antagonist and struggled to get out of that destructive mindset. I'm sorry to those effected, but I want to try and improve from this experience, since I have friends who are going to play with and help me with my choice of jobs.
Thank you for reading, and I hope we're able to resolve this.
Wrenn.
