rawnoodles Posted October 4, 2023 Posted October 4, 2023 BYOND Key: Rawmoddles Total Ban Length: Permanent Banning staff member's Key: @Melariara Reason of Ban: Left the round as a burglar, then rejoined as an assistant and attempted to get in on the antagonists' gimmick. This is a gross violation of metagaming rules, as you harassed them for knowledge your character should not know about. Reason for Appeal: Ok, I will not recite the things I had said in my previous appeal as I find it unnecessary, so I will be focusing more on reasoning on the level of breakage I fell onto instead of just admitting I committed a mistake, Which while I did, Just saying "I'm sorry" won't prove to be enough as it proved itself in my last appeal, So I'll start off by bringing up the difference between premeditation and what I call, "Heat of Passion", as well as mixed with my stupidity and unthoughtful acts, Being dumb, in less-than-clever ways of speaking. So, what I did in this metagame rule breakage was not premeditated, If it was it would make me more guilty and make it less genuine of a mistake if I was deliberately thinking, planning, focusing, and acting upon things that break the rules, So in my reasoning, and as well as in most actual, real justice systems, My punishment could and should be looked upon in a lighter way, as again, I was not actually wanting to break the rule of metagaming, So I don't think I should be treated as if I was intending to Metagame, as I mentioned in my previous appeal, and I quote, "I had thought with the character I had, I could do what I did.", A simple yet easy to fall for mistake, Each and every one's characters have different stories, knowledge, backstories, skills, etc. You could make an example by someone who roleplays as a surgeon somehow having professional gun and close-quarter fighting skills, while they mostly play their characters otherwise, Would it be considered metagaming to do so? In my case, I play a character with a variety of criminal associations in his past, and while I don't try to actively play an "Evil" or "Insane" character, I try to get into the character of someone with mental problems that were caused by such activities. In the eyes of my character, with the context of his "Exploitable information", it would make sense for him to be captured by someone looking for information, For all we and even I know, He may have been in the same or similar position before. So again I ask, Would it be considered metagaming to use your character's experience as a base for something you think would be allowed? If so, Then I humbly apologize for doing so, After being banned for a month, I have realized that I have to be more careful in my actions, And I will bring up the factor that I am quite a frequent player on the server, Despite having a few warnings, they were never premeditated actions, But were mistakes I did which I again apologize for and hope I can improve on not doing them again. And by being a frequent player who at least doesn't intend on breaking any rules, I think I qualify as someone who can be forgiven for breaking something so crucial as metagaming, which while I acknowledge being such a crucial rule, I don't think would upset or harm anyone by simply being forgiven once. Especially in this context where I didn't actually upset anyone by doing so, No-one by myself and possible admins who saw me break it, But what mattered were the ones involved in the primary context (The antags and hostage), Of which barely had any actions with me, And I am going to even recall that I didn't even intend on finding, joining, and ending up dead in their hostage situation, as I was simply just a victim of being exposed and forcefully put into it, although I do agree that I should've left while I had the chance to do so. I apologize if this appeal sounds a little messy and rambly, As I'm writing this in 11 PM and am quite tired and stressed.
Melariara Posted October 8, 2023 Posted October 8, 2023 Sorry, I'm not available for another twenty four hours as I am currently on vacation.
rawnoodles Posted October 8, 2023 Author Posted October 8, 2023 Then can a different admin handle this?
Melariara Posted October 8, 2023 Posted October 8, 2023 No need because I got some time to read this post. From your last unban to this one was two months. I don't feel comfortable unbanning you, as I do believe you will go back into your old ways, and I would rather not have that attitude on the server. Apologies for the delay on denying this.
