Role
Ban Length:
1 day
Ban Date (YYYY/MM/DD/):
2019/08/03/
Round ID:
5987
Ban Reason:
Permanently removed HoP from the round for having AA and protecting his own workplace against armed intruders. Security is meant to protect the station against threats, and demoting/killing a head of staff for little to no reason is not “protecting the station against threats”, it’s becoming one.
Appeal Reason:
It was overturned and not handled exceptionally well from the start.
Hello to you all dear admins, moderators and fellow users as me!
I’m here today to have this ban removed from my record, as it was factually removed years ago, when it was issued.
At the time I filed a staff report about this very incident and not only the ban was lifted, but I was given an antag token too, after the admin team(of the time) considered some issues around the ban. Unluckily I fear the post got deleted when qwerty(I hope he’s fine and well!)deleted the entirety of this forum, a while back. A comma where it shouldn’t have been, I guess.
Having been years, and taking into consideration that my memory isn’t exactly top notch, I’ll do my best to recount the facts as I remembered them.
I joined not at shift start as HOS. Low or 0 security at that moment. The instant I got on station I heard talking of a murder and at least one person confirmed the name of the murderer, the HOP, and the circumstances(If I’m still remembering correctly) while I was on my way to the arrest.
The hop murdered a crew member in front of everyone, switching immediately to lethals, when someone supposedly tried to break into his office from his line. It was a single person and not multiple assailants as the ban states, if I’m not wrong. Maybe the very dead crew member was revived and intercepted me while I was preparing myself for the (very short) manhunt and the arrest? I can’t recollect it more precisely, at the moment.
I apprehended the HOP, that was being played by the admin in question Raging Tuna and dragged him to security. In the meanwhile discovered that he already gave himself AA, even if I think that we had a captain already that shift or that there wasn’t simply any reason for that. To defend the admin in question, even if was never my MO as Hop, a lot of hop players back then gave themselves AA first thing in the round. Still not the brightest of moves, though, at least from a spacelaw perspective. Then I talked with him to hear his side of the story. He completely confirms what happened(he murderging the supposed criminal) and so I sentenced him, as it was the nomal SOP under space law at the time, to permagulag. To be even more honest, spacelaw was considered just a guideline at the time and security and its job resembled far more frontier space sheriffs that the cordials and competent people that we have now. I instead always opted to be cordially harsh, but fair. So to always follow spacelaw, to avoid the bad judgements the heatness of a moment can bring.
After being permagulagged, Raging Tuna then proceeds to… do a bad decision after another.
***** He handles this situation by himself. In his defence, I think there were no other admins online at the moment.
***** He clowns me through his administrative powers, maiming my entire round. Something I didn’t even knew was possible, at the time
***** He then role bans me too
So I made a staff report for this very incident(that seems to have been deleted by that unlucky forum accident by qwerty). Got the ban reverted, got an antag token for this very reason and solved the issue with Raging Tuna(we both spoke with respect and friendship to each other, as we anyway did from the start).
I just want to make clear that even if I spoke briefly and few times with Raging Tuna, I can still remember that all of the interactions with him were pleasant, aside from this very one. And before anyone else would conclude that he was a badmin, I would like to add that we’re all humans, all fallible and that we shouldn’t be judged for 30 minutes of bad calls one after another, when we’re heated. But instead on how we conduct ourselves aside few moments of anger.
Because this ban/note is very severe (!!!) and I’m not the kind of player who does such egregious acts, or at least I still didn’t do anything to warrant such a severe record, I would appreciate it if the administative team can remove it.
I still don’t know why it wasn’t done at the time, I suppose just an oversight? After all years ago the admin team was submerged with ahelps and whatsnot, considering the very different ruleset, playerbase and mentality around the game.

Thanks to whoever read this!
I hope you’ll have a great day!
