Ban Type: Job (Virologist)
Ban Length: 5 days
Ban Date: 04-04-2020
Round ID: 14221
Ban Reason: “Released a virus full of grief symptoms. Not lethal, but all of the griefer symptoms. “ALL NEUTRAL JOKE VIRUS” No.”
Appeal Reason: Virus was harmless, not intended to grief but to be a funny harmless joke in a greenshift. Hell, I even prayed for the anomalous virus food, so the admins on before this were totally fine with it.
Symptoms were:
Pierrot’s Throat
–Did not meet any thresholds. This just made the infected HONK while also saying the word “Honk” out loud. That’s it. Harmless.
Polyvitiligo
–Literally just makes you change color, like if you’ve eaten a crayon. That’s it. Harmless.
Wizarditis
–Did not meet any thresholds. It just makes you think you’re a wizard that can cast magic. You get flavor text like “You have a strong urge to cast Summon Familiar!” while also saying things like “Abra Kadabra” or other magic words. That’s it. Harmless.
Viral Evolutionary Acceleration
–Literally does nothing. It changes the stats, but the did not raise the infection threshold above “transmits by blood” which means I had to infect people manually. That’s it. Harmless.
I had 2 versions of the virus, one with a neutered effect, and one with a different, and active effect. The effects were as follows.
SBG Syndrome (Neutered)
–Normally makes roaches crawl out of your face, but that’s horrifying, so I neutered it. Only reason I kept it were so I could have a disease with all the anomalous symptoms. But it was neutered, so it did absolutely nothing. That’s it. Harmless.
The next version had, instead of the Neutered Symptom, this:
Facial Hypertrichosis
–This is the one that makes you grow a Gandalf beard, which is both funny and goes along with the Wizard aspect. That’s it. Harmless.
Additional Information: Was not told to stop spreading the disease until much later, after several bwoinks I thought were just asking me about it. Was also not told I got a job ban, which I learned is against the admin conduct while making an admin report against a different admin.
I literally only learned I got a ban for it when I complained about the weird bwoink on the forums, here:
The reason I’m @ing bloons here as well is because it looks like he was involved in the ban, due to having information on my virus
Yes it was. The flu is more harmful than that. I’d understand a ban If I’d released the flu, but for this? Ridiculous. If chem is allowed to make drugs as a part of his job, which are much more harmful, why can’t I do this?
Oh dear, random colors. How evil and trollsome and interrupting. No man could possibly do his job while colored BLUE. Not like you can cure it from a vending machine and wash it off in the shower!
Only the “incantations” symptom was a thing in my virus, due to not meeting any of the thresholds, and in fact, I recall seeing in a thread that the teleportation symptom’s threshold is straight up impossible to meet.
one of the thresholds does in fact make you clumsy if met, but I did not meet the threshold for that. So it just makes you honk. What a crime. What a troll.
Again, does nothing but change the stats around
Again, it makes you grow a beard. How debilitating, and griefy!
Arguably the later one was “more griefy” due to me replacing a neutered symptom with an active one.
At most should’ve just been told, “don’t infect people with it unless you know they’re fine with it” instead of mass curing my virus without telling me or telling me why or telling me to stop until much later, and then banning me without telling me in game.
