Events leading to the ban
In this ban appeal, I will go through every one of my actions during this round to provide a clear picture as to why I was banned and to why things regrettably ended up how they did.
My Objectives for the round were:
Kill or maroon Aname Atra, Security Officer
Do it however you like, just make sure they don’t make it to centcomm.
Kill or maroon Jaseen-Jah, Atmospheric Technician
Do it however you like, just make sure they don’t make it to centcomm.
Escape to centcom alive and unrestrained.
One of our undercover agents will debrief you when you arrive. Don’t show up in cuffs.
As the round began I had decided to play as a cargo technician, a role which I find fun and rewarding. As I began to do my job I was notified that I am an agent sent by MI13 on the behalf of The Syndicate. I of course decided to immediately go into the cargo maintenance tunnels and hide in a closet to dig for my PDA to unlock my uplink. I decided to use my TC to order a trustworthy list of tools of the trade that being a Cobra pistol with 5 magazines and a Energy Sword. I have no idea how useful an Exploding Pen would be but it was on sale and I decided to buy it.
Once I was equipped with tools I decided to go to the cargo bounty console to find a good reason to roam the station to find my targets wherever they may be. Conveniently at the same moment as I was leaving cargo two people came up to me and decided to start a conversation. One of them decided to use the codeword that was given to me “Great” to which I answered back with “Crash” which immediately got a positive reaction. I was told in whispered voices that there were 6 syndicate members together and that they planned to order guns through cargo to go super loud. I didn’t mind the plan as one of my targets was a member of security that was Aname Atra, a Security Officer. So when asked to team up and arm ourselves to go loud of course is said “Yeah”.
After that I followed my fellow syndicate members to medical where they were preparing healing items. I could not have cared less and left to order root beer from a nearby Pwr Game Vendor. At this point I noticed that security were clearly looking for someone and that we could be found out sooner or later as we were a big target. Then I was ordered for a drink at the bar by my fellow syndicate member. Funnily enough HoS the Head of Security was at the bar drinking so I decided to join in. After she left I decided to keep on drinking and was subtly clued in on the fact that even the barkeep was a fellow member of the syndicate. As I ordered more drinks, even the HoP the Head of Personnel came by to drink a bit. As more members of the syndicate came to the bar the HoS came back for a second time for a brief time before leaving.
As we went to cargo to further our plan one of us decided that they were going to get borgs to our side. At this point my character was drunk and his vision was blurring and shaking. I ordered a shotgun crate and left to go get it with the cargo shuttle. It seems while I was away getting the order something went down in cargo and one of our syndicate members was arrested. I decided to open the shotgun crate with the syndicate member who happened to be an atmospheric engineer as he could open it in space without alerting anyone. At this point I was thinking that it was over for us but to my surprise when I returned to cargo everyone was there and alright. Also it seems that the plan to turn Borgs to our side was also a success as two were present. At this point I handed the shotgun I acquired from the order to my fellow syndicate member as I already had a firearm. At this point the cargo shuttle returns and a salvager returns to the cargo bay from the main entrance. Upon seeing our group he decides to reveal us to the QM Quartermaster through the cargo radio channel. At this moment the borg that was with us states “They have killed my human form and put me in this machine” which was pretty incriminating. The Borg also states its laws which are the normal three.
We take some consoles onto the cargo shuttle and use it to travel to ATS where the QM is located. As the QM notices our group and that we are not leaving I can already feel that this encounter will not end with him as our friend. As the QM orders us to leave in an even sterner manner our fight begins with us ignoring him and attacking. My fellow syndicate members decide to push with a melee charge which ends up in the QM backing away and pulling out her laser gun to defend herself which she uses on the one hitting her. As she backs away she goes over a puddle of oil which causes most of us to slip and fall. However in the end she only got a few blocks away before being put sideways. I get a few punches in before she dies on the ground. Her body gets gibbed and some of us decide that we should sell her body parts. Some of us leave to get a charger for borgs and the cargo shuttle leaves.
I decided to return the cargo shuttle to the ATS through the console that was there. I piloted the cargo shuttle and docked it onto the ATS. The moment I docked the cargo shuttle a fire fight happened between my fellow syndicate members and who I think was the Captain. The fight ended with the HoP dead and us victorious. As they were fighting I went into the shuttle and found that someone was trying to board it. I kept guard to keep the shuttle in our control as it was the only way for us to leave ATS. At this point I gibbed the Captains as one of us was taking his clothes and ID. As I return to the shuttle, someone is trying to take it again so I shoot them but thinking back on it I regrettably think it was one of us.
After this we return to the station using the cargo shuttle to dock at evac. At this moment I think the plan was to go for AI and radio communications. As we enter the station we are immediately spotted by a passerby, however we just warn them and let them be before continuing on for our goal through the maintenance tunnels. As we enter engineering we pass by many atmospheric engineers without even talking to them before going into the disposal unit that leads to the AI. As we enter the AI room I greet the AI before going for the telecommunication server which my fellow syndicate members stop me from destroying.
At this moment I am in the AI core and slowly running out of oxygen before being led to the server room by my fellow members of the syndicate which they proceed to destroy. While we were leaving my game disconnected and I woke back up in the adjacent room. Security were already aware of our presence and had sent a squad of three to get rid of us. My fellow syndicate members manage to defeat them with me delivering the finishing blow on two of them with my Esword.
At this point after defending ourselves from security i think we are in the clear and begin to look for my second target in engineering. Because I didn’t find my target I decided to leave engineering with most of the syndicate members. At this point one of us says “ Only kill sec and those who fight us”. As we walk along the engineering hallway we meet armed resistance from security with many of them wearing hardsuits. At one point during the hallway shooting I run at them and try to shoot back however I am not sure if I successfully hit them. However they hit me and I got dragged back to safety by one of the syndicate members. I start to heal up and prepare for another attack. Some of us backed down and I saw someone in a security hardsuit follow in tow so I decided to shoot at them but it turned out that they were a fellow member of the syndicate so I stopped. Behind them was someone unarmed wearing grey clothes so I decided not to fire upon them.
More security came and shot me down again but I was healed up again. I start looting the security corpses for ammo and weapons. As our holdout of engineering continues what i think was the HoP comes and tries to check for ID with them holding a disabler. Knowing that at any moment they would shoot, I shot at them causing them to attack and get killed. As the fight ends I return to the room where we were healing to find out that they had gibbed at least two bodies. At this moment I spot my target and tell them that I want them dead in a nice little RP.
At this point I head to security to look for my target. At one point I notice a security cadet near a laser rifle on the floor charging something on the nearby charging station so I decide to get the first shot in case of a fight and attack them. I truly believed that that laser rifle was real but found out it was the practice laser rifle after trying to recharge it. After this I decided to hunt for security as I wasn’t sure If my target was dead. At one point I gave a warning shot to a lizard that constantly tried to slip me with a banana. After this I Roamed about and ended up in medical which was a bloodbath for some reason. Fellow syndicate members gibbed someone in I think genetics for some reason. They also attacked some random doctor but I have no idea why. Then a fight started outside of medical some reason and that person got gibbed by them as well for some reason.
At this moment my atmospheric engineer target arrives into the medical bay without ID so I ask their coworker for a name. I confirm it is him and ask his friend to just leave him as getting him marooned is also acceptable. His coworker decides to continue healing him so I just leave as I don’t want to kill someone defenseless and he might not even get into the escape shuttle.
However he gets healed up and I find him in the backroom of the shuttle. I RP that I need him dead for the syndicate and execute him in the corner of the room. As I am doing this I get messaged by the admin that banned me. Then as I start to answer the admin someone starts attacking me so I try to scare them off with the Esword till the end of the round. As the round ends I barely get to explain myself or message them before I am banned.
Reason the ban should be removed
I only attacked those who attacked or highly threatened me and kept my attacks focused on either command or security. I was not given the right situation or enough time to explain myself to the admin before being banned. I have my gameplay footage of the round in .mkv lossless format if needed. I believe a warning would have sufficed in this situation.
