Username: Eowyn
Banned Roles: All command and medical jobs
Ban reason: 'Unreasonable incompetance in role + DBAD'
Length of ban: 6 Days
Ban Issue:
I did what I was banned for,but the ban is unreasonably harsh
Events leading to the ban
In round 84385, I wanted to test some things out with desoxyephedrine (meth). I rolled CMO.
At shift start, I took several jugs from the Vendor Restock, including all three carbon jugs. However, one of the chemists took one of the carbon jugs.
Initially, I planned to use these chemicals for my own experiments—primarily with desoxyephedrine—as well as trying out some other chemical mixes. However, after going to Cargo to try and buy both plasma and a Vendor Restock, I realized Cargo was broke. I then backtracked on my plan and returned the chemicals to Chemistry.
By this point, the two chemists were frustrated with me. The mute chemist had labeled a jug indicating they wanted to set up their own med-bay. I told them to go ahead with it, and they left.
I wished them good luck with their private clinic afterward.
I made chemicals until Veronis came back. I tried to kick them out believing they were trying to use Chemistry’s resources for there ‘Clinic’, however after calling Security to Chemistry I was notified Captain had promoted the other Chemist to CMO, was about to demote me, and they hadn’t setup any Clinic at all.
I talk to the Captain and HOS, before having a private conversation with the Captain where I lie and give my side of the story to avoid demotion.After this backtrack, Veronis and the new CMO resign. I realize that the resigned CMO did not return the crew monitor, and confronted them with the Captain to return it.
I continue to substitute in for Chemistry after posting an announcement asking for people to apply at HOP before I am ahelped.
The admin asks me for my side of the story, which I give a very short explanation of,before I go back to making chemicals for a little while. At this point I got bored, and went to cryo and play on another server.
I played one full round and was early into a second round when I was ahelped being notified about the ban.
Reason the ban should be removed
I believe the ban should at the very least be reduced due to several factors I will list below that in my own eyes minimize the incompetence I displayed as well as providing reason for my hostile interactions with the Chemists:
-While I initially did take all the Carbon jugs, believing I would need them,I tried to leave a Jug of the other chemicals I did take, as well as only taking from the vendor restock instead of directly from there Machines.
-I only very briefly had these Chemicals,I brought them into my Office, and immediately went to Cargo to try order Plasma and a Vendor Restock, after which I returned the Chemicals back to Chemistry. I only had these chemicals for at most five minutes before attempt to return them to the Chemists.
- I also believe my intention to order a Vendor Restock asap to replenish the Chemicals I had taken was easy to miss, as I do believe I only asked for the Plasma, as after learning they didn’t have enough money for Plasma, realized they wouldn’t have the money for vendor restock.
-Initially I was cordial with the Chemists prior to learning they had tried to get me demoted.While me telling them to go make there own clinic could come off as rude, that was not my intention and I even wished them good luck on radio on the venture I believed they were going on. I believe acting hostile after them coming back was a natural progression due to there attempt to get me demoted.
-While Medicals medicine was hampered by my decisions that caused the Chemists to leave, I took this unto myself to rectify by making the Chemicals myself, both times they left.
-On the Disconnecting side, while I had been ahelped, the admin did seem to think the issue was IC, which I said myself, and I didn’t even consider that the ahelp was still ongoing since the conversation had seemed over on my side when I disconnected. However, this is still my fault, as I definitely should have made sure that prior ahelps were still being looked at. I just want to clarify that this was not a malicious attempt to avoid admin decisions but accidental stupidness on my part.
With all these points, I believe the ban should be reduced, but not outright removed.I feel while my actions were disruptive to Chemistry, they weren’t downright incompetent and the actions I took to make sure Medical wasn’t completely neutered like trying to get a Restock ordered asap and making the chemicals in there place show this, as well as my hostilities not showing until they had reappeared later on trying to get me demoted.
The reason I feel it should only be reduced and not outright removed despite my belief I was not incompetent in the Medical role however is because I did leave the server before a admin decision was made, and while it was not malicious on my part it was stupid and it shouldn’t be taking leniently on.
