Dr. Farson Posted December 24, 2021 Posted December 24, 2021 (edited) BYOND Key: Dr. Farson Total Ban Length: 2 days Banning staff member's Key: peppermint96 Reason of Ban: Went SSD in limited slot role (chef), did not inform admins Reason for Appeal: This is really rather simple: My internet went out, and I DCed. It came on shortly after, like around 20 mins later, but I didn't think it was worth it to rejoin, as I thought someone would have either moved me to cryo, or the round would have ended. I didn't think to contact an admin after the fact, on the discord, because again, I was thinking about game progression, and I didn't think the chef was really as important as something like, perse, a medical doctor or a security officer. I admit I wasn't thinking about the number of slots for said roles, and assumed someone would move me to cryogenics. But during the period I was DCed there honestly wasn't much I could do.

Peppermint Posted December 24, 2021 Posted December 24, 2021 Hey, Whilst chef might not be a super important role, it's still something that players might want to do. By not freeing it up, you stopped other folks who wanted to play it have a go. Likewise, you went to play Bay instead during the timeout from what I can see and understand. Why's that? For reference, it's a 3 day ban rather than a 2 - we do increments around 1 / 3 / 7 / perma, just as a heads-up.

My internet was indeed out for 20 minutes, but again, at the time I did not think to contact an admin regarding the issue. I had went and used a friend's data connection to play bay around 5 mins after the DC. I'll admit, it would have been more productive to relog, but I had not thought of that at the time, due to my prior line of reasoning (me not focusing on the issues regarding player slots.) Primarily, I believe this to be an issue of a misunderstanding of the rules, and specifically, a series of mistakes on my part. While I'm willing to accept and abide by any decision that's made on this matter, I really opened this ticket to provide some clarification. Edited December 24, 2021 by Dr. Farson
Peppermint Posted December 24, 2021 Posted December 24, 2021 Thought about it a little, and I'm going to go ahead and deny this. Going by the timeline you've given me, you lost internet for all of five minutes before cutting it loose and heading off to Bay instead. In doing so, you took a slot from someone else and prevented them from being able to join. Appeal denied.
