UponASeaOfStars Posted February 10, 2023 Posted February 10, 2023 BYOND Key: UponASeaOfStars Total Ban Length: Permanent Banning staff member's Key: Melariara Reason of Ban: Quote Consistently powergaming. You were tempbanned for this in the past, and you clearly haven#39t changed. You can appeal this on the forums when you think you have. Reason for Appeal: I'm sorry. Let's just get that one out of the way now: I am genuinely, actually sorry. I'm not going to go "uwu I didn't mean to do a bad", because that doesn't matter- it's not about what I meant to do. If you trip and fall while holding a knife and accidentally stab someone, that might be morally less fucked up than wilfully stabbing them with that knife, but it still has the same end effect - someone gets stabbed. I get that now, and it took a few days of introspection and reaching out to people for second opinions to realise it. So yeah, I'm sorry. I know you'll look at this and think "it's only been three days, where's the deny button again?", but-- this is one of those bans where time isn't really a factor. The goal is rehabilitation, right? It says there, You can appeal this on the forums when you think you have [changed], and you can't measure change with a clock. You can only measure it by giving someone another chance and seeing if it works; I could ask you now, or in a week, or in six months, but I'd still be the same Stars: someone who tries really hard not to break the rules for any reason. It's just that the Stars of today has a different perspective on things. So how am I going to demonstrate this change? How will I prove I've learned? I've got an answer for that one too. My notes, and the reason for my ban, is because I gave the impression of being a powergamer - someone that plays exclusively to win, and focuses on game mechanics at the expense of roleplay. And I understand how people might come to that conclusion. So if this appeal is accepted, I'm going to limit myself for a while, avoiding roles that have a lot of mechanical complexity to them (such as my usual medical doctor, scientist, security officer), and focusing more on jobs that prioritise roleplay skill and writing ability, while having a very low mechanical impact. Bartender, psychiatrist, chaplain, investigator, reporter. The Idris jobs. The ones that everyone loves and that have very little ability to 'win' -- because even though I know I don't care about winning, I want to prove this to you as well. Thank you.
Melariara Posted February 10, 2023 Posted February 10, 2023 Hello once more. Let's get to it then. To the surprise of no one, I will be denying this. If this had been your first action after being banned, I may have considered it. Maybe. But the fact you went on a forum crusade about how bad the staff are, and now you're attempting to come back once more, expecting this to be blown over? All while getting two people involved who should not or have to be involved. No. As stated by Alberyk in your second(?) complaint, you have a number of notes from one month. What was it he said? Quote In less than one month, you got: -14 notes -2 warnings -3 bans This is roughly one note every two days. No. You can try again in six months. Do keep in mind that that may change with actions you may or may not take. 1
Melariara Posted February 11, 2023 Posted February 11, 2023 Keeping this locked, but due to recent events this can never be appealed. You have an immense history of breaking staff trust, and then you go and do this. Never, ever return. 1
