Events leading to the ban
On a particularly bland and long game, I finally tried doing something and swiped Caps pda. My character had done his job and played music the whole round, not a single suspicious or antagonistic thing. At which point I was immediately gunned down without a single word of warning at all, and promptly murdered on the spot. In character, as a Syndie, Victory or death is the way to go. This lined up with how I felt outside of game as well, as I had to deal with someone breaking logical character and was angry and they didn’t even have the decency to leave me with ANY items, thus fully disregarding “Space Law.” After that, I took on the role of Hammy. I was trapped in my glass cage, starving and dehydrated on the brink of death. After finally escaping with the help of Pun Pun, or some other nearby monkey, I do not fully recall, I hopped into the trash and went on a journey. The journey just happened to land me right next to where the Captain, the same neglectful tyrant who imprisoned me. No longer able to control myself, I lashed out, attacking everyone nearby, including the captain. To my surprise, the captain once again, out of character, sliced me to pieces with his sword without any hesitation at all. Is it normal to slash your miniature pets to death if they bite you?
Reason the ban should be removed
Was I annoyed by people constantly violently breaking character? Yes.
Were ALL of my actions perfectly reasonable and in character? Yes.
Have I ever received warning or punishment for anything here before? No.
Did I “Overescalate”? I… don’t know? What does that mean? I overthink everything, is that the same?
Self-antag? I thought that was allowed within reason, people do it constantly.
Dismissive in ahelp? This is subjective… I wasn’t trying to be dismissive at all, it feels a bit like projection honestly, since most of my argument was just dismissed for the most black and white view of things.
I spend almost all of my time being as passive as possible in game… I don’t play to shoot and attack and do combat… that isn’t what ss14 is about. This is why I get so frustrated when people break character constantly just to start blasting and smashing the crap out of anyone and anything.
I just want to play the game with a friend today I haven’t gotten to play games with in several months… the particular day of this is the only reason I’m going so far with this appeal. I’ve already been informed it’s likely completely pointless and a waste of time.
