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

Ban Type: Perm

Ban Length: Forever

Ban Date (28/04/2021):

Round ID: 29201

Ban Reason: Murderboned on Golden before round end, as attested by multiple witnesses. Can be appealed on the forums.

Appeal Reason: I’m a denthead and I don’t fully understand the specifics of how murderboning is categorised under the rules; with some clarification I’d happily avoid making this mistake again.

Additional Information: I got paranoid about the detective catching my prints on an SSD’d sec officer’s stuff, then got even more paranoid after my name and description was announced for bombing medbay. I gunned down the detective to stop him getting prints, the RD was a genuine moment of panic, the assistant saw me killing the RD and I didn’t want a loud witness to bork my greentext so close to round end. In total I directly killed three people, indirectly killed (I think) my target via PDA-bombs and a few people in medbay with a bomb aimed to prevent cloning/cryo/easy access to surgery and revival. I had other opportunities to jump on defenceless loners or turn evac into a bloodbath - but chose not to.

If your story is backed up by logs this isn’t murderboning.

I don’t mind stern moderation in a game like SS13, but if this is true then it takes the mick a bit to get permabanned because of salty false ahelps.

Alright, so - my personal apologies. By the time I got to the round you were long gone, and I had to delay rounded to allow addressing it at all. I’m somewhat new to the interfaces still, and I wasn’t able to find your hours or note history, only that you had killed several people. I had several people’s testimony, and thought it most likely that it was a throwaway account come to kill some people on Golden. Luckily, you’ve appealed, and we can examine it in full now. I’m sorry for the hasty permaban.

Thanks, I appreciate the apology. Would it be too much to ask for you to either remove the note or alter it to reflect this resolution?

Edit - That is to say, assuming that further inspection concludes that I’m innocent of the content that the note describes

We frequently ban people just for them to come to forums and explain.

but dude, at end screen im pretty sure you werent listed as an antag, besides having your prints foundon an SSD seccie isnt even a major crime and isnt even close to justifing killing 4 or 5 people.
also i was a scientist you killed for no reason in a hall that was pretty empty

I don’t remember killing you, but if I did, then logs will show both that and the use of PDA bombs and a syndicate bomb which are usually exclusive to syndicate operatives and nuke ops. Sure, prints aren’t a major crime, but they certainly help to incriminate; then perma someone.

but you still killed 5 people over fingerprints man.

I killed one guy over fingerprints, I panicked when I saw captain’s hardsuited guy coming from the direction of security, and then again when an assistant ran past. Five is a bit of an overstatement, and over fingerprints misrepresentative of my screw-up.

@Inithis bump. 20 ch

This has festered for long enough - taking it over so it can finally be resolved.

Went over the logs and your actions definitely were pretty indiscriminate, but the actual killing incidents are a bit more inconclusive. There were 36 players on and you were responsible for killing only a small handful of them for an admittedly flimsy reason, but not for no reason, so with that I say…

Regardless of exactly what you were or weren’t guilty of though, this ban has already been in place for way longer than you deserved based on the relatively limited level of chaos I see.

  • Going on a killing spree and shooting people down in the halls just because you have guns is bad
  • Bombing a central part of the station for no particular reason is bad unless you at least have objectives to complete there. Large bombings as a distraction are not allowed.
  • Bombing a key target such as a problematic AI, or bombing the station’s O2/N2/Air supply to force an evacuation are fine.
  • Killing people you suspect are onto you or that inadvertantly witnessed you doing something is fine.
  • Doing very obvious shit in very public places and then trying to kill everyone nearby while claiming they’re witnesses is bad. (For example brandishing an energy sword while walking down a hallway).

Acknowledge these and this ban will be lifted.

Meant to ping @mrstrawman in that last post.
I can see you’re still active on the forums.

Edit: Well, they were anyway.
