Events leading to the ban
I was a traitor. I had two objectives:
- Keep a bartender (fellow traitor) alive,
- steal the hypospray
Using comms the traitors all shared codewords and agreed to group up in the bar. We met in the bar. Another traitor, Armok Scrungus, came up with a plan to help us all complete our objectives. We took over the ATS and bought guns. Immediately prior to this the fellow traitor I had to protect was arrested. I didn’t engage in the melee that occurred during his arrest, because I knew he would stay alive in a cell. I could see on my objective list he was alive, so I proceeded to follow the group of traitors until I could get to the CMO.
This then led to an outright takeover of the station (I had no idea this was the plan). My fellow traitors used this opportunity to kill basically everybody and gib a lot of crew. If you can watch back the gameplay footage (I think recordings are a thing? I don’t know) you’ll see I didn’t participate in much of that. I shot at some people, but that’s it. I made a point not to attack anybody who wasn’t attacking me. I was focused entirely on finding the CMO.
I did eventually find the CMO, in space. I don’t know why the CMO left the medbay to go on a spacewalk. He had been killed by a skeleton, apparently, who took his things. I learned this after the end of the round. At some point in the chaos my target whom I had to protect died. I had no way of resolving that objective at that point.
Apart from attempting to kill security who targeted me I don’t think I was overly destructive. I didn’t kill random crew. I even brought the nuke disk back to the station which the captain took to ATS.
Reason the ban should be removed
I feel like I was not given enough of a chance to explain my role in the events in dealing with the admin who issued the ban; however, I did apologize at the time. I’ve never had any issues before and have put in a fair number of hours. I feel like I could have been given a stern warning… rather than a ban. Sorry again.
