CKEY: Honkhonkclown

Admin’s CKEY: Kasual

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

Ban Type: Server

Ban Length: 8 days

Ban Date (MM/DD/YYYY): 02/23/20 (Server timezone, I know today is still 22)

Round ID: 12796

Ban Reason: Threw a brand new player into a infinite delivery loop as non antag on Golden. Global ban auth Bass

Appeal Reason: The round was a 10ish pop LRP round. I built the loop to dick around with because the round had gone on for a while at that point and I was extremely bored since LRP isn’t fun when it’s 10 players and antags aren’t doing shit so I built it to create some sort of action and threw a random player in chem into it with the intention of unwelding the pipe in a little while. I was cucked by the antag before I could unweld it and both me and the guy that threw him in were 8 day’d for it. I don’t expect a full unban I just think that 8 days for disposal looping a guy for like 5 minutes or something is excessive given that people can shitsec perma someone for a whole round and only get a job ban for like a few days. Also why it’s longer for “muh new player” is somewhat stupid since how the hell am I supposed to know the playtime stats of a random player I haven’t met or spoken to? The ban implies I was going out of my way to target noobs to griff and is excessively long for that reason which is just plain stupid.

Additional Information: I just want a decrease, I agree that I deserve a ban for self antagging but 8 days for me and Rublax for doing the equivalent of a 5 minute brig timer on a guy is pretty dumb

I mean 10 player pop LRP with a single antag who isn’t antagging is basically sextended and that isn’t on LRP for a good reason, that reason being that at some point you basically have to self antag to even have fun on LRP extended

Why not just make a rage cage in the bar? Those who don’t wish conflict can watch and the fighters could fight over the belt. That sounds much more fun than just watching someone go in circles for five minutes.

Before I go to bed Ill throw my response up. It will be copy and pasted to both ban appeals since they are identical situations. Both of you self-antagged/griefed, as well as breaking rule 1 taking a guy out of the round effectively if no one else intervened.

First off you are both mentors, the only mentors we had on the server at the time.

This is the two of you building the infinite loop. Both as non-antags. There are a lot of these so only posting a sample.

This is Honk going and grabbing the chemist. Looking through the logs does get me a bit tilt which isn’t really common. The dude was excited and roleplaying with people as a chemist. He was talking with a borg about cures and testing recipes and all that good innocent shit people do when they are just getting into a game. Yes you had no way of knowing the player was new, but you are playing on a station advertised for new people with the a senior title of mentor. As non-antags with literally no provocation you decided to methodically build out a infinite loop to shove people in.

Rublax destroys the communication consoles shortly after, which is additional self-antag.

You guys talking after he was thrown in showing the intention of putting more people in if you weren’t banned or stopped.

This is the player they threw in not having any god damn idea what was happening. He spent about 5 minutes listening to that clong shit with his camera being thrown all over the floor until I teleported him out once I saw that the fingerprint variables were Rublaxs and he wasnt an antag.

Both of you have so many shitty notes. 3 pages each. Multiple this month. Meta grudging, self antagging, word filter. It’s wild, and I don’t understand why it seems that people who know the most about the game and can offer the most to new players are the ones leading the fight to drive them away.

The new player part hit me in the feels :pensive:

But yeah a lot of goldens bans lately are low pop, got bored
This is a wider issue and needs to be discussed

6

After reading that there is no doubt you did the right thing here. If anything they should be thanking you that the ban is only eight days.

7

I agree, ban seems justified.

Getting bored and forcing people, who are completely innocent, out of the round for any amount of time isn’t a pro gamer move, A breach of rule 1, if you will.

“I got bored.” isn’t a valid excuse. If you’re so bored, try getting people to play on LRP again or just go to MRP, if you aren’t banned from it. Contribute and strengthen the community instead of trying to break it.

8

ah yes let me just thanos snap and transfer half the MRP pop to LRP thank you for great advice I forgot I was all powerful to fix the mess the retarded headmins and coderbus created in the first place

Locking as this ban has already expired.
