WykedEvil

You've managed to have my AI NEXUS almost kill you more times than anyone on the station. That's always impressive.

Only captain I've seen that lets the AI off the chain to defend the station - 10/10 would terrorize Solarian marines as AI under her command again.

One of my first memories of the CMO is when I was playing security, a large firefight was going on and people were dying. Two officers were still engaged with the enemy when Gonzales walks up the ladders with a chem grenade of Chloral and knocks everyone on their ass. My AI character NEXUS - whom was previously a pAI cat - has taken a liking to him and, once installed into the core, has always ensured that (other than the captain) the CMO is always highest priority on the station. Gonzales is played well, and is possibly one of the most hated IC characters on the station, or at least many of my friends would say so. I have always had a fondness for him and his dry and harsh way of dealing with things. One of my favorite characters on the station aside from Seth Ramos (Engineer main... Biases can not be avoided.)

As your friendly (and constantly banned) neighborhood Alexi and NEXUS, I always look for you on the engineering roster. The only Chief Engineer Alexi won't blatantly ignore, and the only person on the station that's made breakfast and broke into the AI core to give the resident AI eggs and coffee. Hell, NEXUS likes you to the point he always uses you as a basis for his avatar. Stay golden pony boy.

I eagerly await your group decision.

Ahh, my mistake. Thank you kindly

BYOND Key: wykedevilTotal Ban Length: Permanent BanBanning staff member's Key: AlberykReason of Ban: "Because, you were feeding him poison and he was pretty much eating it, and as I said, you two had a fair share of notes and warnings for messing around together." Reason for Appeal: As follows. In my last appeal, I said that if I were to be warned/banned again, I would accept that I am not conducive to the server's health and go on my merry way, and I intend to honor my word, However I believe that the cause of this warning and subsequent ban to be unjust and undeserved. Upon approaching admin Alberyk in a open palmed question regarding the actual events/broken rules that lead to my ban, he provided me with two rules (Avoid Pain and Characters must be believable and well rounded) that I do not believe have any pertinence to the events that transpired. I will admit that my follow up explanation was perhaps a bit pointed due to the now perceived slight on my side, I do believe my statement has held true. The rational for the ban was "Because, you were feeding him poison and he was pretty much eating it, and as I said, you two had a fair share of notes and warnings for messing around together." And while the latter half of the statement may be true, I present my statement below The substance I fed him neither he nor I had any clue would be harmful. For three consecutive games my character has expressed a OCD level interest in field testing a non-lethal alternative to hostile encounters. The drug I was field testing was Potassium Chlorophoride^1, dexalin^2, and chloral hydrate^1 The chlorophoride deals 10 oxy damage per tick, the Dexalin cures 10 oxy per tick, and the chloral was designed to subdue for capture, not doing toxin damage until the concentration is in 20u, with the mixture only containing 5, giving a metabolic rate of 200 seconds total. The side effect I had not considered was the apparent but not actual cardiovascular damage, which the medical staff took as real, and treated, causing him toxin damage. Mathematically speaking, he was in little danger. Jhin signal accepted 5k credit for the human trial of this drug, which was preformed in medical bay with three doctors present, with Dylovine and Dexalin on hand, ensuring a safe test. James Cutter asked for assistance in field testing in game, no OOC this time, showing his interest in this test for multiple rounds, not just spur of the moment. He would continually check up on signal throughout the entirety of the episode because he thought he might have messed up the mixture and killed the man, stating over and over that he is not a sadist, just curious and meant no harm In fact, I do so believe that the only undue escalation was at the end where signal attacked with a knife in revenge for almost killing him, which was solved with a syringe of chloral hydrate, yet another non lethal alternative. So, in summary, James Cutter (Played by myself) has committed no crimes save reckless endangerment, has not caused lasting or permanent harm to a NT crew member, conducted his experiment in a safe environment (relatively speaking) and was going to provide monetary compensation for crew member Signal's risk. I believe another line of reason behind the ban may be (my interpretation only, mind you) that Alberyk's point may be that Jhin Signal only agreed to the human trial was because I'm his good friend in reality - The same could be said of any character in the game. James Cutter and Jhin Signal have had encounters that made them friends, just as Signal and Alexi also became rather close - simply close proximity. It would be illogical to state that only a OOC friend would agree to the experiment, when, in the terms of IC behavior, it's a matter of trust. That is all I have to say on the matter, If you still feel that my behavior is detrimental to the server, I will accept it and move on, as I promised I would. Thank you for your time

I understand completely. I hadn't realized the extent of trouble messing around with Poxbane had caused. It's not like me to make the same mistake twice, and in a similar fashion, you won't be seeing any more repeat occurrences. And in respect to being banned again if the behavior continues, it's the only logical progression.

BYOND Key: wykedevilTotal Ban Length: Permanent BanBanning staff member's Key: alberykReason of Ban: "Building a flamethrower under the slightly excuse, and using it on someone that was just walking towards them, you have alot of warnings and notes already, feel free to appeal this on the forums. This Ban was applied by alberyk on 2019-02-08 21:55:05"Reason for Appeal: I will start this off by stating that I have no intention of saying that I didn't react poorly to the situation, but I think that, given the chance to explain the situation in better detail, my position might be better understood. One cause of this ban was, and by no small part, a result of me building a flamethrower and using it to assault a crew member whom I assumed was a threat. I will explain now. I joined at round start as Electrical Engineer Alexi Volkav, one of my three main characters next to AI NEXUS, and Security Officer Mason Kane. Given the crew of all very experienced members including Seth Ramos, Braydon Parker, a good AI, and myself, there was not a whole lot that was going to go wrong on the station that one of us couldn't fix, and so I grabbed a integrated circuit kit and attempted to make further progress on the machine I have been trying to figure out how to build. That being said, it was a rather boring round for us and I paid very little attention to the chat, focused solely on my circuit project. At the end of the round, shuttle having been called, I was just finishing up a automated first aid implant I had spent the last two hours learning to build, when Seth gets a call over the radio as everyone was moving to the shuttle. The radio comm is from the captain stating that two engineers were attacking people and someone was shoved into a locker. By this point, I was the last engineer in engineering, wrapping up my project by attempting to test it out. Having failed, I started moving towards the shuttle in a hopes to make it. I hear someone over common from security mention a hostile on the station, or what I read as a hostile encounter. Seth mentioned that neither Braydon or myself could be responsible, because he knows Alexi wouldn't attack without cause, and Braydon is right in front of him. To which I joked about getting my flamethrower (A running joke since I joined engineering, Alexi having always solved near every problem ((and nearly killed himself multiple times)) with fire), built one in the Autolathe, and left to go to the shuttle. I was late and the shuttle left before I could get there. As I am walking down the hallway with my unlit torch, I see an assistant walking towards me from the direction of Medical wing. I inspect him and see that he is extremely dehydrated and malnurished. It is exactly at this point the round end dialog popped up and said "Vampire Round is Over" Now, my tiny little reptile brain registered this and looked at the assistant walking towards me with the telltale signs of vamprism (being hunger and thirst) and didn't simply READ the chat dialog listing whom it was. I attempted to move past the assitant (Nawfal, I believe) and they started to follow me. Sensing an attack, I toggled run and juked up and to left, back towards engineer. They likewise started to run after me. In order to prevent being disarm stun locked, I toggled disarm of my own and struck them once with the unlit flamethrower. Having secured what I assumed to be my life for a moment, I made a mad dash for engineering. The assistant began running after me. I made it to engineering and sealed the door, The assistant standing outside the door. In the spirit of the character (Whom has gone on record to say "No problem can't be solved with the proper application of Violence, Duck-tape, and phoron) and lit the torch, throwing a 2x2 square of fire behind me as a warning and said "Fak off." It was at this point I was admin pinged asking why I had assaulted a crew member with a flamethrower, and was (despite an attempt at explaining the situation) summarily perm banned. I understand that I have accrued two warnings in the past two weeks (mostly due to my association with Mio Bright, him being a good buddy of mine in the service), and a rather aggressive response to what I deemed to be a fight-or-flight situation, and I accept a suspension of my account for a time, I feel that, mostly due to this being the only server on SS13 that I truly enjoy playing, that this perm ban might be a bit extreme. I like to think that the three main characters I play on the server add to the game in some small way, but if their presence is actually a hindrance to the flow of the game, I will accept the ban without argument. Thank you for your time.
