Events leading to the ban

Over the last few days, I’ve been making terrible decisions as captain and overall not been being a good role model for the station.

First major: We were on red alert, as a Space ninja had called in a threat onto the station and had been causing Chaos. I was in the middle of moving 2 Pythons to the Armory when i got a call out that the Ninja was in science. As I look for him in and nearby Science I run into the RD, the RD being a high valuable target for most antagonists, I decide to give him a Python, as the Ninja is likely to come back soon and could attack the RD. Later I get asked about this by an Admin, I defend myself by saying that the RD is a high value target and that the ninja is an extremely deadly threat. The Admin claims that the ninja was not a threat and i could’ve spent a few more moments getting RD a gun from the armory.

Second Major offence: It was early into the Shift, and an Atoms Technician asks if we can talk in the bridge. I agree and they reveal that they are a Syndicate and need to steal my ID. They offer a Lobbying bundle in exchange for my ID, and after a short pause I agree and hand it over to them, with the idea to go secure it before evac docks.

I had one more, less serious offence (If i recall, it might’ve been serious as well) that i cannot review at the moment, but if needed to i can attempt to look over it later.

Reason the ban should be removed

I do agree with the admin here that I could’ve spared a few moments to get a gun from the armory, but I do want to defend myself here. The Admin saying the ninja is not a threat because; “They had not killed anyone.” is ridiculous, the Ninja is a Power Antagonist, and at no point should they be considered not a threat in my opinion. I do agree though that I should’ve went the the armory to get RD a weapon, and I’ve learned from that.

My defense here is that i want to make the game more entertaining for people when i play as Captain. Acting with less caution and being generally more light-hearted for a more laid back experience to make the current round more enjoyable for everyone playing. I also wanted to act in Roleplay, and a Lobbying bundle really has very little use when persuading people, and I like to imagine that something Compels and Forces me to accept the deal, even if i wouldn’t normally.

Lastly, I feel like a Full Command ban is excessive here, All said offences only happened when i played as captain and not as any other role. Another thing is i have many other characters that i like to Roleplay as Drastically differently as to keep me engaged, all of which act with way more composure and thought. I would really like to continue to play as command and keep helping new players/new head of staff in the future.

I’m only going to tackle the ban itself, rather than your prior notes (IE the ninja incident). I understand why the Lobbying Bundle appeals to you that way - currently, it’s very vestigial, without much use - and that you were aiming for a roleplay-oriented approach to it. With that said, it’s directly against Roleplay Rule 14, with a very similar example listed.

This was your third competence issue as command within the span of a single week. Regardless of only happening as captain, you took actions most people would view as detrimental to the station, and we ask more of command roles because of the influence they exert on the round.

With that said: I agree with your drive to make the game more entertaining, and have no issue with you being a laid-back captain, so long as you work within the rules. (You can reach out to ask us questions on what is or is not appropriate as needed, or rely on other command staff to influence your decisions.) I am lifting the rolebans. Please act with more caution going forward.
