I unbanned your brother so you should be able to connect, but if he reconnects and does this shit again and gets banned, this will end up being automatically reapplied.

Your tone was extremely aggressive and you should not be replying to people like that.

@NG+7 Gael I hid your last post because it was absolutely unacceptable to reply to someone like this. Do that again and I am banning you from the game as well.

We deny people based on playtime only if they're very, very new -- we're talking one or two weeks worth of playtime. At that point you aren't really ready to be a Head of Staff, mainly because you aren't familiar with OOC proceedings regarding security (which you will need to handle, a lot, every time, no matter what Head of Staff you play -- acting captainship comes to mind) or, in general, how command staff is supposed to act. You can go to the archives and see how often we deny people for low playtime. I, myself, got my head of staff whitelist in 2017 after a month of playing, and 3-4 weeks is the standard we generally expect. We can't do this, as it's a form of seeing player activity that's a bit easier to see than by using the WI (since we have to go character-by-character and some people have a lot of characters). It also ensures that we aren't dealing with people that are practically transparent IC. We can't do this either. I already argued my thoughts on active playtime to a large extent in this thread: If you aren't active or committed, I have no real reason to give you a whitelist.

Given the amount of notes and the amount of times you broke our trust on the server, I cannot in good faith allow you back in. I simply cannot trust you as an individual and I am more than certain that you would end up banned again. Denied.

Main issue I can see is that this makes holsters completely useless, as you would be able to just put a pistol in a webbing or drop pouches.

Accepted.

Sorry for the delay. Accepted.

Archiving.

This is Voigt's reasoning for the mutiny charge, mentioned IC. This definitely fits, so I'm not sure why the charge was contested. This is Abbasi's reasoning for charging the reporter. This also fits because, as described on the corp regs wiki: Then, Abbasi says this, I presume, on security comms: And here are CSSU's objections: It seems to me like you did a lot more than "being absent from the round" and "I only said mutiny doesn't freed once". You knew that they were to be charged with mutiny, you directly objected to it (as you were speaking to the warden that was charging the prisoner), the head of security told you that it should have been mutiny, you doubled down on it, then the HoS repeated that it should have been mutiny, you doubled down on it again, and said "Fight me". You can definitely be charged as a co-conspirator here, if all you had was a "moral objection", why on Earth did you triple down like this? As for the warden, it is kind of hard for security to charge them too when you're being so flagrant about this. In their minds you were probably the brain behind the sedition charge, so to speak. I'm sure the warden would've been investigated if it wasn't round end too, but I don't think they had the time or mental capacity to do that at the same time as your arrest. So, I am ruling this complaint as a non-issue. It will be locked in 24 hours.

Entirely new character is preferrable.

From what I have seen, I cannot allow you to play this character as a head of security at all, and I would rather not have you retcon a character so you can play them as a head of staff.

I think your roleplay needs some work. Joel does not seem to be a particularly developed character from the cursory interactions I've had with them, and I have seen some questionable handling of some situations. However, I think you have potential, so I'll be accepting this application. You should work mainly on getting a better understanding of other departments, branching out in your characters (specifically, I would like to see you play a head of staff that is not a continuation of your current character, and to use more exotic planets from human lore -- think New Hai Phong, Gadpathur, Dominia and so on) and your roleplay in general, in the future.

Here are our rules on end of round conflict: Therefore, this entire debacle happening at round end does not really break the rules if it has proper reasoning. I will say, from a cursory look of the complaint, it does seem like the charge on you was justified. However, @Faye <3 could you please comment on your side of events (specifically, why a mutiny charge was chosen, and why the IPC was charged with aiding and abetting instead of something else)? It is not really a good look for you to say "fight me over it" to a HoS. Under any circumstance ever this would have gotten you arrested. The rest of your sentence does make it seem like you were specifically aiding the detainee by going around a HoS' order and suggesting a new charge.

This appeal is denied. First and foremost: do remember that we are under no obligation to strike you first. As per our Discord's rules, staff may ban at their descretion. Furthermore, it is not unreasonable for me to believe that, since you sent a message after your internet died, you have the capability to continue sending messages, through mobile data or whatever else. Secondly, I do not believe you understand the social gravity of using a profile picture that represents one of the worst Nazi brigades to exist. For your profile picture, and thus something you associate with or like, you chose to use an anime representation of one of the worst set of people in Human history, with all the crimes connected to them. I will not go into details about what exactly the Dirlewanger brigade is on this forum post, but alarm bells should have rang in your mind. Your profile picture is something people see and relate to you every time you speak. Your irony, or whatever other reason you had for choosing this image as your profile picture, is not something that reaches people that do not play the HoI4 mod you mentioned. And even then, you should have the basic social sense to keep these two spheres (what you associate with and "funny memes", even if I have no idea why you would find the Dirlewanger Brigade funny or relatable) separate. Given that you defended the usage of your profile picture and that you, in your original post, admitted that you "could debate that it's appropriate", I simply cannot trust you to 1) not associate with what you put in your profile picture and 2) make good judgements as expected of a normal community member. In addition, I would like you to know that using your profile picture in Germany, Austria or Brazil is a crime. Do not appeal this ban. It will never be lifted.

I believe you should actually explain to me why you think a Dirlewanger Brigade Schutzstaffel femboy profile picture (with rather obvious nazi markings, might I add) is an appropriate profile picture for the server.

Accepted.

Some roles are like that unfortunately. I'd suggest playing another role before putting up this kind of application.

On trial until 10JUL2022.
