Is this for both servers or just one? If so, which one: Sage MRP
Which server did the ban happen on? Sage MRP
Ban Type: Server
Ban Length: 7
Ban Date (MM/DD/YYYY): 2021-01-17
Round ID: 26173
Ban Reason: As scientist held a flamethrower for “self defence” against cult before halo stage. then went into maintenance and fired the flamethrower unprovoked which resulted in 5 death in total, cultists and bystanders. You are not a security officer to deal with cultists, and you are not allowed to hold such items “just in case”.
Appeal Reason: It wasn’t really unprovoked: one of the cultists attacked my scientist pal and started dragging him away, and i think others were coming for me, so i fired my flamethrower and ran away. Also, i never heard about not being allowed to posses or make certain items (exept high-risk ones). Flamethrower is just another fun and potentially dangerous thing that can be made in sci and i never had trouble with any of them. I especially need clearance on that, as i like making dangerous stuff and woldnt want to be banned again.
Additional Information: I was truly spooked: i heard smashing, chopping, screams and some magic around RnD for good 10-20 minutes, maints were covered in blood, comms weren’t working propperly, the lights were out and nobody seemed to do anything. I’m not even sure if this can be calld validhunting, since we just went to investigate the screams that were right next to us
Power gaming. Your banned for valid hunting and power gaming. Also any reasonable person who hears screams and sees blood while knowing there’s a cult of literal satan worshippers with magic would not go “hmmm I have a flamenwerfer” and charge in
Don’t make flamethrowers as non antag unless your on LRP. Honestly, your play style as sci seems fitted for LRP where power gaming is encouraged
How is this power gaming? I literally made 1 item that was not directly part of my job, only had a firesuit for protection and ran away when i saw cultists. If you say it is, what other things are off-limits? What about grenades, poisons, drugs, nanites with suppresion programmes, letal viruses with zero transmission? I usually make those things in case someone wants to murder me or if anybody needs them to fight the antags.
What about grenades, poisons, drugs, nanites with suppresion programmes, letal viruses with zero transmission?
That’s all PowerGame. good stuff, and if you wanna use it wait to be antag or go on LRP where you’ll be able to find excuses and it’s more than allowed
Read the rules again before the appeal, but didn’t notice the second tab with powergaming defined, sorry.
I dont play on golden exactly because i dont like validhunting and powergaming, i’d rather not play for a week.
Took the firesuit because i wasn’t sure how powerfull was the flamethrower and didnt want to be roasted if i ever needed to use it. I reported screams in comms multiple times, but i don’t remember if any of it got trough due to comms being down occasionally.
So, i sholdn’t try to make the deadliest syringe or grenade even if it is just because i like the craft?
Honestly, i never concidered the RP fear factor because RP is pretty low even on MRP. Being “grown adult working on a research station” and an occasional interesting conversation is the most i’ve seen from a non RP-heavy role.
Thanks for the clarification!
The only thing i don’t understant is where is the line between powergaming and what you described. What should i do if i get caught by antags while i have something like that? Not use it and run away? Sec are often a pain to give or explain something to.
It won’t get better if peopel won’t respect our RP rules.
No.
Go to golden if you want to do something because of craft, MRP is place for people to do their job, interact with others and not to powergame into oblivion.
I am going ahead and denying this as the ban is only 7 days long Sage ban issued for powergamming and validhunting.
