Additional remarks:

Metagrudge:

I was banned from the server for metagrudge. Having asked both over the Discord before I was removed and on the aforementioned thread for evidence of said metagrudge, I was completely ignored, with said staff member instead locking the thread without conclusion. This is pretty telling, really. No metagrudge has taken place, as neither myself nor the other player have been in contact for a long time, with there also being no stated metagrudge on my notes. Alberyk has repeatedly tried to pin things on me that do not apply via adminPMs in server before, including, recently, one sentence that had absolutely no bearing nor impact on the round as "metagaming". This highlights a bias against me from Alberyk, with punishment for nothing happening on any excuse he can reason.

Removal from Discord:

As can be seen in the aforementioned thread, a certain player went on a verbal tirade against me, including personal attacks. This player got off without any punishment, whereas I was removed. This further shows Alberyk's bias towards myself, where one player gets punished for 'taunting' when I was genuinely curious about the situation the player was mentioning, whilst the aggressive player gets away with murder.

Previous Confirmation of Bias:

Many a month ago in Discord, Alberyk admitted to having a grudge and bias against me. I brought this up at the time, and have brought it up numerous times since, but have been ignored by staff.

Locking Thread Without Conclusion:

This related back to the removal from Discord, which the thread in question was about. The player, again, got off scot-free, whereas I received punishment. The player in question has exhibited repeated occurences of behaviour of this fashion, which can be seen through their notes as well as asking players who have been in contact with them.

As well as this, I've been told and have experienced in the past one of Alberyk's characters, an Unathi, and one of the aforementioned player's characters, a Tajaran, frequently buddying up in numerous rounds to the detriment of others. This included an occasion where Alberyk's character slaughtered the majority of Medbay staff when the aforementioned player's character received a DNC order.

All of my interactions with Alberyk have been of a negative nature. I have frequently asked for another staff member or avoided him completely if can, due to his tendency to target me. This has included both IC and Discord.

If you need anything expanded on or clarified, I'm more than happy to comply.

From the rules:

 

Metagrudging is not allowed. Metagrudging is whenever your OOC opinions of a player or their character negatively affect your IC interactions with that character. Basing your IC interactions with a character on events rendered non-canon is also considered metagrudging.

 

And in that round in question, your character somehow knew about reports of what Ana did, even if those reports did not even exist, neither your character would have access to them. Also, metagame for knowing and using an info that you are not even supossed to know in character.

[20:52:57] bczOZf SAY: Chaznoodles/(Gainsboro) : (Ceti Basic) That is a good joke from you, madam. Don't you kill people for calling you a cat, madam?

[20:53:32] bczOZf SAY: Chaznoodles/(Gainsboro) : (Ceti Basic) This unit has seen reports, madam.

[20:57:25] bczOZf ADMIN: PM: Chaznoodles/(Gainsboro)->Alberyk/(Sslazhir Yinzr): As in, reports of Ana's actions onstation, filed by crewmembers off-duty, about her violent tendencies.

Also, there are prior notes about you and this kind of behavior;

 

 

On the top of the week ban for ooc behavior issued due to a complaint.

Now, I did not take this action alone, before, I got in contact with the entire admin team and we had a discussion, and both headmins did agree with my call. And even before other admin found that your actions were indeed rulebreaking and issued a warning:

 

 

So, no, I did not act only by myself, I was not biased in this decision, because it was reached together by the admin staff. I fail to see how it is bias when the majority agree with this punishment. Also, I am not sure if not agreeing with you over dev matters would be any sign of holding a grudge, while I did deal with other issues related to you, and acted for or against your person when it was clearly needed. Also, in none moment I did say I had any short of grudge.

 

As well as this, I've been told and have experienced in the past one of Alberyk's characters, an Unathi, and one of the aforementioned player's characters, a Tajaran, frequently buddying up in numerous rounds to the detriment of others. This included an occasion where Alberyk's character slaughtered the majority of Medbay staff when the aforementioned player's character received a DNC order.

 

"slaughtered the majority of medbay staff" did not happen, and this situation was already by the staff in a complaint and it was cleared as valid.

 

All of my interactions with Alberyk have been of a negative nature. I have frequently asked for another staff member or avoided him completely if can, due to his tendency to target me. This has included both IC and Discord.

 

Care to explain when any of my characters got out of their way to do anything against yours? Also, when you asked for other staffs to look upon issues, I never really denied it, as like I said several times before, this decision was not mine alone.

Ban was valid.
