Ban reason: Failed to connect to server: Connect denied: You, or another user of this computer or connection, are banned from playing here. The ban reason is: "86743; Self-Antag, Role Abandonment, Intentional Rul
Length of ban: 1440 minutes
Ban Issue:
What I was banned for is not against the rules

Events leading to the ban

I queued to join as AI and cyborg only. I unlisted all the other roles. I was mentally exhausted, and didn’t want a role with lots of responsibility. I got chemist, which is the highest-responsibility role I’ve ever played, so I killed myself because I couldn’t play that role at that time.

Later in the day, an admin banned me. They said that me killing myself had resulted in a bunch of stuff in chemistry being broken, but I don’t think that’s true, and the admin confessed that they hadn’t seen the round nor the replay.

If anything did break, then it’s only because I misunderstood the game mechanics of how the explosion would work. I also accidentally exploded the beaker in the chem dispenser, when I meant to explode it in my hand away from the chem dispenser. That was my error, not an intentional act of destruction. If you ban me for this, you are banning me for being bad at the game.

Reason the ban should be removed

If you ban me for breaking chemistry, first, I don’t think anything actually broke. Please check the replay before making such accusations. If anything did break, then it’s only because I misunderstood the game mechanics that would allow that to happen, so you are banning me for being bad at the game. You can’t call someone a self-antag just because they didn’t know how the near-infinite number of game mechanics work in this.

You can’t legitimately ban me for abandoning the role of chemist, because I never accepted that role. I only queued as cyborg or AI.

Alternate Accounts

I will not be processing your appeal, but I will be adding additional information for the admin that does process it.

Within six seconds of the round starting, you had grabbed a large beaker.
By 28 seconds into the round you had prepared a solution of chlorine, fluorine and potassium.
At 56 seconds into the round, you had caused a relatively small explosion, and barely survived.
You then went to grab another beaker, and by 1:29 had made a second CLF3 potassium bomb.

This is the before and after:

I want to point out that we can’t read your mind. What we see is someone load in, make bombs, blow a hole in chem so that nobody else can use it, and then leave.

We’re not punishing you for being bad at the game. We’re punishing you for making it harder for the other players and then leaving. It’s a 24 hour ban - just touch some grass for a day.
