UponASeaOfStars Posted January 20, 2023 Posted January 20, 2023 (edited) BYOND Key: UponASeaOfStars Total Ban Length: Permanent (medical) Banning staff member's Key: WickedCybs Reason of Ban: Spoiler After many talks with staff about overstepping your bounds in medical, first as a FR and later as a Physician you continually kept finding any reason to try and make medicine or powergame in the department. Even while off duty you#39ve attempted to justify full on running the department and taking equipment as part of your character, and you didn#39t seem to understand or care why that isn#39t a good thing to us. Afterward you proceeded to joke and shitpost about it on th Discord. Other than this day ban you#39re also being abnned from all medical roles until you appeal that and can tell me what the issue was with what you were doing without any veneer of irony Reason for Appeal: When I successfully appealed the dayban, I requested the medical ban be kept in place until I was able to refine my character enough to fit Aurora. I was also asked a few questions, which I'm going to answer as succinctly as I can- let's keep it brief this time! Quote So why is it important that your character doesn't know everything, can't do everything and should be able to stay in their lane? Why is it not a good thing to step over people, order them around and attempt to do their jobs? At the same time, why is the absence of other people not an excuse to "step up" and do what should be outside of your expertise? Nobody knows everything; nobody can do everything. That's just bad RP. Staying in your lane is important because it gives other people a chance to shine as well, and because it breaks immersion to have one person running around doing everything. When other people choose a role, they want to do that role- taking those opportunities from them is a dick move. And when nobody has that role, then that's just as good, because it'll push the situation more towards "something is happening and nobody can fix it", which is just as interesting (and arguably even more interesting than "something is happening and it has been fixed so now nothing is happening"). Really, all of this just sums up to "doing these things is bad RP and makes for a bad experience for everyone", and we're all here for good RP and a good experience. Quote I'm actually going to request the medical ban stay until I've been able to finalise the new Aveline (This one's from me.) New Aveline, TL;DR, go. Retcon: her combined medicine speciality doesn't involve chemistry at all. She's never been especially skilled at it; chemistry is a much more sedentary profession than she's used to, and although her previous mentor did attempt to teach her, Aveline was only able to learn stuff like "water, inaprovaline and dylovene makes tricord". She's a very active person, and sitting down at a dispenser for half an hour pushing arbitrary buttons isn't something that really fits her-- and she knows it. She's much more of a hands-on Actual Medicine person. New developments: After her workplace accident that resulted in the loss of her right arm (and the subsequent recovery time), Aveline had little choice but to reflect on her life up to that point, and the choices she'd made. It was the first time that her willingness to help had actually resulted in serious harm to herself. Maybe if she'd been more careful, less hasty, she'd have noticed the falling elevator in time. Maybe if she'd waited for just a few more seconds. She learned an incredibly valuable lesson from this, though just a few moments too late. Aveline still detests sitting around and waiting while people get hurt... but she's no longer the type to throw herself on the cross blindly. She just wishes she'd learned that a little sooner, and she'll carry the weight of that failure with her for the rest of her life, a synthetic reminder of a lesson that all professionals learn eventually. "Slow is smooth, smooth is fast." (If it's deemed necessary, I'll also be happy to get a few character references- other players that can testify 'yeah, Stars is good, she won't fuck up again'.)
