Detailed Summary: In round 42272 I was playing as a scientist, doing anomalies. We just unlocked the newly added item “Gorilla Gauntlet”, and had an active anomaly outside of security. I had been actively monitoring it, and decided to try and move it to sci using the new item. However, the anomaly slipped into a ‘growing’ state without my realizing, leading to it eventually going supercritical while I was punching it towards science, and killing me. I then received an AHelp from Sphiral advising me to “Be careful next time, please.”, and, while this isn’t exactly the rudest comment, I do feel it was unjustified and implied I was somehow breaking a rule for what was genuinely an in-character mistake/accident. Timestamps in screenshot are in AEDT timezone.
Hi, I’ve begun looking into this complaint. The round was Leviathan 42272. A replay is not available due to server migration. The ahelp is provided below:

Hello Forums! I just wanted to personally apologize both to Weax, and to the community for having a dip in professionality. I was very tired as I sent this and shouldn’t have been on at the time, and it lead to me messing up. I will make sure to double check my need to ahelp, and “be careful next time” myself. I hope to see y’all in later shifts, hopefully not in bad terms. Sorry again, and have a good day? Night? Designated time period!
