Events leading to the ban

I believe i joined the round late and joined engineering. Shift was going pretty normal until engineers started to get arrested.

From what i heard from the other engineers it was an engineer who was arrested for trespassing in sec when he was actually in there doing repairs. The other engineers where unhappy and we were outside Sec protesting. I joined in with the protest as it seemed like a fun RP opportunity to protest and demand things from the captain similar to stories ive heard about cargonia. i suggested we all go back to the engineer break room and talk about the plan/demands we want to make. once in the break room someone else which i think was a lizard called chews (the one arrested) was leading the conversation on what we should do, as i was distracted by someone who had arrived at the door. I believe his plan was to trap sec in but before i could RP further all the engineers had started to leave. I ran with them to sec, i welded a door to the court room and planned to weld a door into sec when walls and an admin message popped up asking me what was going on.

In the engineer radio at some point i used the phrase “we revolting”. Now im newish to the game and i am aware of Revolutionaries and how what i said can be seen as linking to me trying to start a revolution. It was a poor choice of word at the time and i only used the term once whilst using the word “protest” multiple times. I never once threatened violence, hurt anyone or held a weapon or tried to try and overthrow security. i was also not the instigator of the protest and was just joining in with my departments RP.

Reason the ban should be removed

im unsure if its a perm role ban or not as the admin didn’t say.

In general i feel the ban is harsh for a first time offense using the incorrect word once. i understand now given my ban its a key word in a certain game mode and shouldn’t be used in other ways. id also thought forms of protest were part of the game given stories ive heard and read and was just joining in with the rest of the engineers RP.

i didn’t once use violence or aggression or any form of power supply sabotage to threaten the station as a whole. Ive seen grey tiders do worse and just be in game arrested which is where i expected the outcome of the story to end up before the admins got involved.

As im fairly new too i was unsure how to handle the admin chat and felt like i was attacked rather than spoken too. I was swore at once and i was more confused/shocked that i was being messaged that my responses where from a state of “oh whats going on, what have i done wrong” rather than trying to defend what was happening.

I am sorry if i have broken rules that i have misunderstood or just haven’t understood. If i could get clearer clarification on where ive gone wrong and what to avoid in future id greatly appreciate it.

Alternate Accounts

Just found the admin message stating what i did. Its a role perma ban for my first offence, which feels harsh. Id just like to clarify a few things after reading it.

I never damaged substations or attempted to flood any areas with carbon dioxide. All i did was protest and weld a door.

After reviewing this, we’ve decided to overturn your ban.

Please do not participate in any actions that can be considered a revolution against command or security as a nonantag without admin appoval.
