Notes and records were provided by the headmin, and, as per your decision, i am not really a player here anymore, i can't access my own notes nor records In those 5 months i had a single warning after making a huge mistake, and a note regarding an inappropriate joke. That's not really that much to warrant a perma, is it?

First things first, I'd like to tackle the self-harm accusation, in no way was it my intention to make it look like it was self-harm, that's a topic one should take seriously. Whacking yourself with a blunt sword replica with no intent of harming oneself doesn't really classify as "self-harm". The situation in question was pure farce. No blood was drawn. All it was, a simple hit with a dull sword on the arm, singular. You make it sound worse than it truly was. It was said, in the moment, and then proven, moments later, that it truly wouldn't do any harm, and it wasn't supposed to, it was a farcical act. Maybe I wasn't getting the way server works, but removing me permanently without much of prior contact isn't exactly making me get it more, sure, you're removing the unwanted element, but that's not really fair or just. As for being a completely competent resident, It wasn't always the case, I have fucked up on multiple accounts, the notes say as much, so I decided to keep myself punted down in the learning role until I felt good enough about my ability and skill to actually step up to the proper surgeon role, but every time I tried to step out of the learning role I was proven that I wasn't anywhere skillful enough to actually step in. Sure, I was doing good with the basics and some advanced things, but not to the level of competence shown by other surgeon players. As to superior harassment, the wording on the wiki has changed, the role is different now on paper, you're referring to other doctors, but the way you put it makes it look like I was hostile to actual superiors (at the time of the ban, the wiki had no concrete wording on other doctors being superiors), such as the CMO, or the Captain, which I wasn't, ever. It could potentially lead to problems with the actual residency program, sure, that's not out of the question, but such things are dealt with by using words and giving pointers, as opposed to complete removal. I do wholeheartedly believe that it is something that can be worked and improved on instead. To say this is on-par with the self-antagonism done previously is not fair at all, I believe there's are major differences between being upsetting to someone and doing something like: 2018, more than five years ago, ban for self-antagonism which actively included killing people while metacommunicating with another player (I'm pretty sure that counts as raiding). another one in 2018, also more than five years ago, I did what basically was a terror attack on a transfer shuttle, which included gun violence and drugging people I don't believe that it's fair at all to compare what I've done before with what was done now, it's just not there. Do people actually believe that these acts are the same? My history does show offenses far worse, but with it, it also shows clear improvement. I may not be perfect, but, as others, including admins, have said, I have improved as a player, at least a little bit since then. I am willing to show work if you give me a chance to. I was warned before for being an improper fit, I know i really wasn't doing my best, I have made mistakes, I know I made a ton of them, that's why I'm here, but patterns can be broken, previously I have made changes to my act whenever I was contacted, save for now, because nobody even tried to talk to me about being unrealistic or powergaming on a learning role, which isn't exactly fair, because I didn't exactly know I was doing things wrong. It wasn't done to cause grief or malice, maybe I was a systematic fuckup, but to call this a pattern is a bit much. It's been more than five years since my previous ban, surely there's at least a tiny incline to go somewhat softer than a complete removal out of the gate.

BYOND Key: tomatik Staff BYOND Key: abigbear Game ID: N/A Reason for complaint: I feel like the judgement passed was both biased and too harsh, there surely were better ways to handle the situation. Evidence/logs/etc: Additional remarks: it's been two months! I don't actually know how to do this, so i will tackle it point-by-point, like i have done previously. >your behaviour was reviewed and found to not have improved enough in the five months since your unban <It has improved, maybe not to the extent we would like to see, but i really was abysmal at the start of the 5 month period, there are notes and incidents that say as much, but improvements were made, major ones, including those that were made with assistance from bear, it really wasn't the best, but it was something, and it did help. I was willing to improve, i still am >As a resident/intern in medical, you played over 70 rounds and rp as a fully competent doctor, this is power gaming <I have gotten in trouble for being incompetent and making mistakes, to the point of being forced to do a live cross-examination with logs and recordings just to prove that i did nothing wrong, it's not in the notes, which is really strange, but it did happen.(the other incident is in the notes) It was raised to my attention that residency system is different and i have a severe misunderstanding of it, that much can be worked with and improved, i'm certain of it. >Your behaviour both observed by the ooc team and in the complaint is not realistic for a resident or acceptable considering your history. <After reviewing my own history and notes, there really isn't mention of me being that much of a powergamer, or anything else regarding the complaint, the realism or anything of the sort, which is concerning. i very well know i'm not even remotely the best at this but after talking to other players, and even some admins, i was told i wasn't really that problematic as of late >This will be your third permanent ban <this is my first permaban in over five years, five years ago i was a shithead minor, and i don't think it's fair to judge me based off all the dumb shit i did back then. Punishment escalation here doesn't seem fair at all, it was a character complaint, i responded to the best of my ability and instead of getting pointers, a warning, a jobban for the department, anything, really, i got a first-strike permaban on a basis of pretty much first offence of powergaming. I really hope there's a way to right this out somewhat, because it really doesn't seem fair to me, and i would love to get back to the server.

That's the point of alt titles, isn't it? If we are to believe that this is, in fact, a roleplaying game, it would be silly to treat someone off the mechanical limitations of the game, no? "Probably" is unfortunately not concrete, and if we do focus on the page itself as is, isn't that fun, we roleplayed and *made up* the fact that one needs to be supervised in order to perform their duties. Which isn't a problem because it's a game and all but still. in what world do you just expect the surgery to end in the middle of it? Petrova was not a colleague nor were she observing the process. That's irresponsible, harmful and breaks any sort of work ethic one could follow. Actually happened in a round Melvyn once was in, got in a fight and all, and she is handsy, it's not exactly surprising I'm the guy who makes Melvyn move, if there are actual problems with Melvyn, i can fix them, small corrections can avoid big troubles in the future i assume you do keep the logs, at least round IDs and such when you take screencaps, so, that's your record, hostility in those isn't one-sided. Isn't it crazy how one day you wake up and a guy you knows turns up with a cane and a cast, what happens, you ask him, he wasn't like this yesterday, or a week ago, and he says, "a giant robot attacked me", that can't be true, there were no giant robot attacks lately. I doubt Solarian Captains get IED on their civilian assignments in the middle of the workweek without at least notifying others, you know, like an actual IED attack. That's personal experience, of course you'd get along well ingame if you get along out of it, you wouldn't see or notice all the sharp edges and rough surfaces, that's just how friends work.

The only doctors who can be considered "supervisors" for this case would be, at best, surgeons, the only doctor that is actually considered a direct supervisor is the Chief Medical Officer, as this here thing says. What they forgot to mention was the fact that there was, in fact, a real plasma fire involved there, we were told to prepare for it, so the reaction followed, none of those are meant to be humorous. A) Not an Intern, B) Ripped both out of order, context and it's not even true, she gummed the drill four times in a row, Melvyn suggested he could assist, he gets told off, this isn't the first time Dresden has been rude to him, so "feel free to gut him" follows, he gets told to fuck off. Then she gets berated. It wasn't an act above his station, he suggested he could step in, he got told off, he then was told to fuck off, there is no way it could insinuate that he is better than anyone. It really did happen, it was oxymoronic on purpose, the uniform was mismatched and never stayed on for too long. Melvyn did not, in fact, bring up the varuca surgery, "beat up my patients" line refers to a different incident involving Dresden, who was known to get physical before. Not an Intern, Not Supervisors, and for sure not his bosses. There are people who have pleasant and good interactions with Melvyn, unfortunately it is specifically not you two. He follows orders, he follows direct words of his superiors, he does what he can, his disrespectful behaviour that's shown here can be written off as poor people skills, crude humor and horrible interpersonal experiences. Specifically with Petrov and Dresden. Especially Dresden, let's get to her, shall we? That's just a lie. First time Melvyn is introduced to the ship, First thing that happens? He gets bullied by Dresden, i wish i was joking, and i have talked about it to others, too, apparently she has a reputation of "steamrolling" through people if they don't fit her criterias, and Melvyn tried to make it up, repeatedly, i might add, to no avail, from words of Dresden, she sees him unfit for service due to her own, personal vision of him. Isn't that a nice way to treat someone? To those unfamiliar with the way those things usually work, Residency is a post-graduate education, It roughly goes as follows, Reisdent < Fellow < Attending, Fellows aren't present for obvious reasons. He is an actual, licensed Physician Notice how they're repeatedly being called an intern, as to make their stance lesser, but to say, Nobody is really all that busy "Wrangling the intern", the only time it actually has happened was with Dresden specifically, and it was over petty insubordination while she was a stand-in for CMO, needless to say, he got suspended for that shift, and the entire medical team at the time thought of it as unjust. Speaking of which, Dresden player makes this statement, which is exactly what others have said about Dresden before, and at that, it's not even being backed up, as far as i am aware, the only people to activelly have a problem with Pettersen are you two, i am not unreachable, i have been contacted by players before, and we, on average, managed to better the situations somewhat. Complete lack of empathy towards the preson who has, before, on record, went out of their way to hurt him. This is a breakdown of events nobody at the time was aware of, aside from Dresden And this isn't exactly what happened, that sort of thing would be just highly moronic to do. How can you expect empathy if all interactions you had with him prior were highly negative, and not entirely coming from Melvyn, neither. Except it's not at all what was said. The exact wording was "I got IED'd", clearly a lie, we all knew it, it wasn't about mocking a disability or needing a cane, it was about making shit up. Dresden was called old, that's what the point of "finally someone said it" and openly laughing was about, nothing about her disability, nothing about the cane, "she's old" is the joke. I genuinely have no idea what this refers to. Not an intern, once again. The worst part is the player specifically knows that he isn't an intern, this is being done on purpose. This is mostly he-said-she-said, hearsay. Some of the screencaps provided directly contradict what's being said My DMs are open for any and all questions, any communications attempts and so on, it would be lovely if we could smooth over the edges at least a little bit.

BYOND Key: Tomatik Total Ban Length: Perma, 2018 Banning staff member's Key: mattatlas Reason of Ban: Reason for Appeal: It has been 5 years, things have changed, i have changed, i am still ashamed of this. There isn't really anything i can say that'll prove it. I talked to Matt about it, was told that no vouching was needed, and that the chances are this will be denied, because it was my last straw. Alot of time has passed, my english is now alot better, i learned a thing or two, actually wrote wiki for a while, but yeah, i'd like to maybe get another change at this?

You knew, now this seems really fair.(exept Proxy part, i'm not using neither of them) So, I am promice that i stop metacommunications and... Other things. Greytiding was one of the stupidest things i ever done yet, so i wont do it again. That was surprisingly reasonable.

BYOND Key: Tomatik Total Ban Length: permanent Banning staff member's Key: coalf Reason of Ban: Metacommunications, Breaking the "No-self antagging rule", lying, pretending to have broken english. Reason for Appeal: So, my ban is over, and i cant find a reason for it being permanent, i did not dodged my previous ban, because, if i renember correctly, this is my first one. And also, my english is bad, and yet i'm working on it. Other ones are fair, and i got what i deserved.
