Ban reason:The ban reason is: "Over-escalation, RDM, and self-antagging: Round removing a botanist because they did not deliver the goods they need." . Length of ban:Indefinite Ban Issue: I did what I was banned for, but the ban is unreasonably harsh
Events leading to the ban
On a previous round me and another chemist phlog fire extinguished a botanist for continuously not providing any galaxy thistle upon many requests after being fed up with the botanists doing we went into botany and phlog fire extinguished him only one spray as to not ash or do meaningful harm to him. In which after we went back into the room to see if he had died to obviously bring him back to med and he was not there assuming that he was fine.
Reason the ban should be removed
The ban should be at least reduced from indefinitely as yes me and the other chemist did do what we are accused of, Unexpectedly there was round removal or so i am told that the botanist faced, in which was not my intent to kill given we went back to save him if needed just was unable to see him. I do not believe the admin in A-Help did not factor in the above mitigations, therefore i conclude that due to our non-malicious intent and attempts to help the botanist if needed I believe that the ban should not be indefinite, as I believe that is a wildly harsh punishment for what was done.
Yes, as it was not our actual intention to remove the botanist from the game. Furthermore after reviewing the replay of round 85608, the attack occurs at around 1:13:00, 1 spray on the botanist from each chemist which only does around 20-40 heat damage with dependance on the spray, The botanist dies at 1:13:44. With the botany being found at 1:14:30 by a cyborg and is placed in a crate. While the borg takes to body to medbay me and the other chemist go check on the botanist to save him if needed and pass right by the borg and the body in the crate without seeing the botanist in the crate as we cannot see in the crate. We check on botany without the botanist being there assuming he was fine and went to security or something. The outcome of the event was unexpected and both me and the other chemist were unlucky after the decision was made. We did not see him in medbay or else we would’ve treated him with the regen-mesh the other chemist made.
Don’t just randomly set people on fire. Don’t just randomly attack people. I feel like I shouldn’t need to point out that using your illegal-ass flamethrower to attack someone because they’re having a slow work day is a problem.
Because I am having to point this out: the ban duration will stand at 3 days. Don’t do it again.
