Reason of Ban: (You can see this when you attempt to log in to the server)
You have been banned by tomiixstarslasher.
Reason: Went into the engine room and roleplayed as a drunk stereotypical russian, irradiated himself and caused a power delay that required security to respond. Please do not play psychotic characters who don't care for their wellbeing. This character and their records are not believable, and would of been fired a long time ago. Please rewrite the character (Yakkov Petrushenkov) and rereview our rules. You may appeal this decision on our forums..
This is a temporary ban, it will be removed in 1440 minutes.
Reason for Appeal: (State your reason for why you think you should be unbanned)
To start I realize it is a 1 day ban and you will just ignore it anyways because it isn't that big of a deal. But I am responding because I feel that there needs to be clarification and that my character was mischaracterized. I also would like the warning and ban removed from my record (if it is possible) because I believe it was misguided and all the facts were not taken into account. But it is your call of course.
Yes I play as a usually drunk russian character for fun. However, I did not 1) irradiated myself nor 2) cause a power delay that required security to respond.
1) The picture attached shows how I am at 100 health not irradiated.
2) In addition with regards to the engine, the first thing I did was get my gear, my cigs, and fill up my flask at the bar (and drank it), and came back to set up the engine, but had to be afk for a phone call. When I got back I was informed nobody knew how to set up the engine, so I proceed to do so by gathering the phoron tanks. Also a CE just arrived to to help out - so that was nice. Was I drunk? Yes, but I was doing the job that the others didn't know how to do before the CE came. We just got the tanks in place when security arrived to take me to the brig for detoxification (sit me in a chair to sober up), which was fine, I didn't resist or anything and even walked there myself along with the security, proof being I was allowed to be there with all my gear and without restraints (picture). So the security did not respond to a power delay caused by me. It was more like, "hey lets just get that guy sobered up."
3) I don't play a psychotic drunk or a psychotic character in general because that is how you get banned. I play a character that usually is a visitor or assistant with an issue with heavy drinking. Completely harmless. And a character that does care for his well-being, isn't suicidal nor actively hurts himself, he just has a drinking addiction. 4) The character's records are written by me for the purpose of adding intrigue:
:::Criminal Record:::
Minor infractions: Stealing
Disorderly Conduct
Assaults (Non-fatal)
Investigations: Possible links to Gorlex Marauders and Cybersun Industries.
*Leads came up null.

It plays to his backstory of coming from a rough background and a misguided youth. Would he have been fired? I disagree, because he was cleared to be hired in the first place and I've cleared his IC record with an admin before. Being an engineer or miner is a rough and dirty job, and my character is a rough and dirty character.
In regards to re-writing my character that I've played for a while and never had any issues, I believe this is unduly asked.
In regards to the Warning, in the beginning of the round when someone was saying a bunch of stuff about a wizard federation over comms, and everyone else was talking about a wizard federation, I just thought some loony was on the comms. So I said in a sarcastically joking manner piggybacking off the comms "goddamn space wizards", because I was putting together the comm talk about wizards and the fact we are in space, so I just made a funny statement that is outrageous and that nobody believes, not even my character - it was just an off-handed quip from a drunkard. Immediately I am spoken to by the moderator and given a warning for metagaming. When I didn't even know the actual antag was a wizard that round and was just joking about the existence of something outrageous ICly in regards to some funny talk on the comms. So, I believe the warning was unwarranted too.
In closing, with these facts laid out and the picture complete, I believe the explanations acquittal Yakkov, clarify the situation/correct some accusations, and show there was a logical answer to all the issues raised by the moderator. This whole thing I believe is just a culmination of miscommunication and lack of all the facts behind the judgement leveled.
Thank you for your time.
