Ban appeal for Volteq611 by Bloons3

CKEY: Volteq611

Admin’s CKEY: Bloons3

Is this for both servers or just one? If so, which one: both

Ban Type: server

Ban Length: permanent

Ban Date (MM/DD/YYYY): 01-28-2021

Round ID: 26543

Ban Reason: Confirmed metacomms with PoobusManJones

Appeal Reason: Me and my friend like to talk together while we play ss13. I didn’t know that it was against the rules to do so and we were immediately banned with no warning or any sign from anyone. We were just having low rp chaotic fun playing on the server and chatting over discord.

Additional Information: The guy could have locked the door. My friend whose character is Dawton Waer was also talking with us and he didn’t get banned.

Do you guys respond on this forum?

Most of the responses have been in the sister thread. This could probably be merged with it honestly since whatever affects one half of it is going to affect the other.

Where can I find this other thread?

I stand wholly corrected. The thread is right here and is also empty

Title: PoobusManJones banned by bloons3

Which server did the ban happen on? Golden

Ban Type: Server

Ban Length: Permanent

Ban Date (01/28/2021):

Round ID: 26543

Ban Reason: confirmed metacomms with Volteq611

Appeal Reason: I just like to talk with my homies on discord while we playing the game. I was unaware at the time that talking with him outside of the game was against the rules, since I am fairly new to this game compared to most players.

Additional Information: IC name Dawton Waer (I believe that’s how it is spelled) was also communicating with us, and he didn’t appear to get banned for doing the same thing.

Went ahead and merged these into one thread since, like I said above, this is going to be handled as a package anyway.

I don’t see a reason not to unban, as we normally do with players who are brand new and didn’t even realize it was considered cheating. Up to @bloons3 in the end though.

What if he doesn’t respond like he already hasn’t?

@PoobusManJones

Okay, so have you read our rules on meta-comms?

I hadn’t read the rules until I got banned, but I have now yes

I have read the rules now.

Can we get unbanned yet?

So, I looked this over.

One of you was an traitor, and the other was wordlessly assisting as the Head of Personnel.

Jan 28, 2021 @ 22:13:00.269 volteq611 \ Sergio \ Scientist \ traitor \ ROUNDSTART

Jan 28, 2021 @ 22:13:21.693 PoobusManJones \ Mathias Wilson \ Head of Personnel \ NONE \ LATEJOIN

You gave them all access without either of you exchanging a word.

Jan 28, 2021 @ 22:14:50.609 ID: PoobusManJones/(Mathias Wilson) assigned /datum/job/captain job to Sergio’s ID Card (Scientist), overriding all previous access using the identification card (Captain) at Head of Personnel’s Office (102, 120, 2).

Volteq plasmafloods Toxins on accident, the AI sees this and claims that they did it on purpose.

So the two of you decide to kill the AI:

Jan 28, 2021 @ 22:41:51.443 ATTACK: PoobusManJones/(Mathias Wilson) has disabled [Antechamber Turret Control] (AI Satellite Antechamber (143, 55, 2))
Jan 28, 2021 @ 22:41:54.293 ATTACK: Volteq611/(Sergio) has fired at no key/(Officer Pingsky) with the laser from AI Satellite Antechamber (NEWHP: 25) (AI Satellite Antechamber (142, 54, 2))
Jan 28, 2021 @ 22:41:54.348 ATTACK: Volteq611/(Sergio) has shot no key/(Officer Pingsky) with the laser (NEWHP: 11) (AI Satellite Antechamber (142, 54, 2))

The Research director shows up to figure out what’s going on, and you both kill them as well.

Jan 28, 2021 @ 22:45:49.198 ATTACK: Toogrand/(Bombyx Mori) has grabbed Volteq611/(Sergio) passive grab (NEWHP: 100) (AI Chamber (142, 34, 2))
Jan 28, 2021 @ 22:45:55.099 SAY: PoobusManJones/(Mathias Wilson) “so” (AI Chamber (142, 33, 2))
Jan 28, 2021 @ 22:46:09.730 SAY: PoobusManJones/(Mathias Wilson) “shut up” (AI Chamber (141, 33, 2))
Jan 28, 2021 @ 22:46:14.730 SAY: Volteq611/(Sergio) “what was the truth?” (AI Chamber (143, 34, 2))
Jan 28, 2021 @ 22:46:19.135 ATTACK: Volteq611/(Sergio) has fired at [floor] with the laser from AI Satellite Hallway (AI Satellite Hallway (142, 47, 2))
Jan 28, 2021 @ 22:46:19.329 ATTACK: Volteq611/(Sergio) has shot Toogrand/(Bombyx Mori) with the laser (NEWHP: 65.5) (AI Satellite Hallway (142, 49, 2))

After you killed the RD, you shuttle call for no reason

Jan 28, 2021 @ 22:54:17.191 GAME: PoobusManJones/(Mathias Wilson) has called the shuttle.


Given that this is both cheating AND griefing, I really don’t see any reason to accept this. You each had 40 to 60 hours on the server, so ignorance of the rules isn’t an excuse.

You killed multiple players, including the AI and the Research Director, neither who did anything against you.

You don’t even bother trying to say that you’re sorry.

@GameAdmin Ban stays.
