Every explanation you had given already where at best, attempts to avoid a ban.
You knew the bwoink was coming, as without saying anything about what the issue was you said this -
Everyone knows what “Hey there, got a moment?” means.
Not only are holoparasites unable to EMP, the holoparasite in question was healing an IPC, not attacking a mailbot. Also, you saw active RP between a holoparasite and a security officer, yet you also claim not to see any security in sight when in medbay.
I didn’t know they couldn’t EMP, in or out of character, and that IPC’s whole gimmick was that they delivered mail. I didn’t see any sec in the moment while I was in medbay later, not then. (And if the rap officer was there, they weren’t wearing their uniform, making them harder to spot)
Healing effects all show a very nice healing graphic/animation/animated sprite, as such you should maybe have taken a moment to actually look, rather that going guns blasting.
Which are hard to see in the light blue medbay IN THE DARK, when panicking, thinking I’m about to die.
The Holopara user is an IPC, so even if the holoparasite set off the EMP, they would have been in trouble for doing so as it took out their own master. As such, maybe a bit of common sense could have been applied to this situation and you could have taken a moment to think about it.
You actively ran from a zone without the antag, into a zone where you knew the IPC antag was, after an EMP, and shot them dead with no threat to yourself as they where still unconcious from the EMP.
I ran into medbay as it was the closest safe area, and I didn’t want to die. Yes, it would have been smarter to run into science, that’s a skill issue, not a character or a rules issue.
I presumed the EMP could not hurt friendlies, and I didn’t realise the IPC had been down by the EMP.
So not only did you kill someone who was unconcious without any RP, you could have arrested them as they where unconcious, or called security to deal with the situation.
I didn’t know they were unconscious, and the big scary holopara was doing just fine, from what I could see.
The CMO, Captain, and a security officer had all had positive RP interactions with the IPC and Holoparasite in the moments before the EMP. And the CMO was in the process of upgrading the IPC’s ID to help around medbay, as the holoparasite could heal.
I wish I’d seen that, but unfortunately I didn’t.
Not once did the IPC or Holoparasite attack you, or make any moves to do so, this wouldnt be self defence.
I had thought I’d just seen it attack the single least harmless person in that room, so I thought it was about to go full murderbone.
I’ve also just checked previous round logs, You’ve played holoparasite yourself in the past 2 months, so should at least have some general knowlege about them.
No I haven’t? I fought alongside a holopara as a giant space carp once, but that’s it. From that experience and having looked at the wiki, I only knew holoparas had different powers, and that their powers were likely friendly/enemy aware, and reacted accordingly. The holoparasite was even light blue, same as the EMP, so I guessed that was some sort of EMP holopara or something.
Zero RP. You saw a “ghost” the Holoparasite, then mention over comms that Daniel the IPC has a Holopara. Then you yell about air alarms, and run into medbay.
Calling it a ghost was my knee-jerk reaction to seeing a holopara, something my character had been briefed on, but had never seen before.
Then afterwards, as my character had time to think, and put 2+2 together after watching the IPC bleed following the holopara getting smacked.
Then all of a sudden the air dissapeared, I realised it was the EMP, tried radioing the AI to get them to fix the air alarms, realised my radio had been deactivated, turned it on and tried again, finally getting through to them.
If thats the case, you should have had them arrested by the security officer you saw during the rap battle. Or even had security come down to medbay and deal with the situation.
The security officer I didn’t see then, or the security force I presumed would take too long to get there before I got mauled?
This just shows that you would have been happy to validhunt in this situation, even with a security officer present.
The hell? No it does not. If I had been validhunting, I would have hunted the antag, which I did not do.
You have a Two week server ban, and a Month command ban.
Command staff are held to a higher standard, and your behavior recently has not improved.
What recent behaviour? Only thing I can think of was the hive mind incident, which was an unfortunate combination of inexperience, and the wrath of dynameme.
Edit: Oh yeah, there was also the TTV, that came from a misunderstanding of the rules that I have not repeated once. (End of edit)
I have acted and played in good faith for the entirety of my still very limited playtime, so this seems unfair, and way out of proportion for what was an OOC blunder. You seem to have the impression that I am acting in bad faith, which is strange and not at all true.
The wiki is a shaky resource at best, with a whole lot of contradictory or strangely placed information.
Also take a look at Command SoP and Re-Read our Rules, and the Escalation Policy.
I have done this and the vast majority of the time follow it completely.
I understand, and am sorry, that this messed up someone’s rare tot round, but operating on the information I was aware of at the time, and with the very limited time to think I had considering the circumstances, I did not knowingly break.
