Ban reason: [...] due to repeat instances of powergaming (MRP violation), violations of space law as security/command, several instances of metagrudging, and unreasonable incompetence in a command role. [...]
Length of ban: Indefinite
Ban Issue:
The ban is fair, but I would like a second chance or reduction

Events leading to the ban

Powergaming:

  • Not saying anything when the Captain gives me their spare ID as HoS and just accepting it (before anything major happened).
  • Repeatedly grabbing a medsec hud as HoS.
  • I was told asking for all access as a Paramedic is powergaming.
  • Taking more spare ammo to reload as HoS might be powergaming?
  • Asking for a “Janitors Key” (All Access) as a Janitor to keep the station clean.

Violations of Space Law:

  • Possession of Contraband (as HoS and Captain):
  • After confiscating or being given Syndicate Contraband, forgetting that I put it in my inventory, causing me to keep it on me for long periods of time until I notice.
  • Affinity for grabbing cat ears.
  • Rarely taking the contraband crate to Central Command.
  • Keeping on Syndicate Hardsuits on Evac during a Nukie Round and then taking it off at Central Command when it should happen earlier.
  • Alledgly keeping a China Lake from Nukies and using it on Evac, bombing Evac.
  • Using a Syndicate Uplink to buy an Esword during a Dragon attack when not in a life or death situation.
  • Failure to uphold Space Law:
  • Releasing a Nuclear Operative on Parole after giving them an electropack.
  • Deciding to keep a Head Revolutionary alive as Captain.
  • Not punishing people for some crimes maybe?
  • As CMO being overly aggressive when to comes to losing chemical medicine.
  • Collaborating with known Antags:
  • As HoS, willingly letting a Ninja copy a Captains ID (to try to shoot them while they go into the same room as me, but you wouldn’t know that. You can’t read my mind).
  • Getting my hands on Syndicate Comms as HoS and using it to trick 2 Nukies into not attacking me and standing by them neutraly.

Metagrudging:

  • It says “several cases of metagrudging”. I can’t recall ever metagrudging someone to the definition of “treating someone differently IC because of events of a previous round” (except a more special case). So I would like some info on that one. Like several as in several people or several cases with one person?
  • Metagrudge baiting someone (the special case).

Misc:

  • Unreasonable incompetence in a command role? I am not sure what this means exactly, so I will need more info on what is meant by that.
  • Minemoder told me “Abuse of Authority” as HoS. This might be in reference to the Syndicate Contraband. I am not sure.
  • Minemoder told me “Extreme Negligence/Incompetence” as CMO. I really have no idea what this is referencing.

Reason the ban should be removed

Regarding the Captains IDs, yes, it is my fault just accepting it and I will do better in the future.
In case of the medsec hud I thought it wasn’t powergaming as I traded flash protection for healthbars. Without flash protection I had a pretty exploitable weakness, which is why I thought it wasn’t powergaming. I also asked in the admin questions chat and at least once during an ahelp conversation and got no response. But I will cut it out now that I know it is not okay.
I did not know asking for access was powergaming and I can stop it.
I am not sure how I can change forgetting that I put something in my inventory…
Regarding the contraband, I thought because the cat ears are a joke item that it is fine. If it is regarding other cases, please tell me. But I can cut out the cat ear business if it is an issue.
With the contraband crate, not sure if it is bad.
If needed I can drop syndicate contraband ASAP in relation to the situation of keeping hardsuits on instead of waiting to be in sec at Central Command.
The China Lake thing wasn’t me, which was confirmed by Minemoder.
The Uplink thing is truly my fault and a while back. At the time I was told it was not okay and never did it again to my knowledge.

Being overly aggressive as CMO in cases is truly just a failure on my part. I will strive to do better in such cases.
Regarding the Ninja thing. I tried to bait them with the ID, but they were too fast with their treleporting making it look like I justw anted to help them.

I am unsure who I metagrudged in the case of treating them more harshly IC. I would need to be reminded if there is a case?
About the metagrudge baiting, I talked to Minemoder about that at the time. She told me not to do that and I never repeated it.

Regarding tzhe unreasonable incompetence I would really need to get more info to be able to say anything regarding that.
If the abuse of authority is referencing contraband, I will try to be more in character. I kind of let myself go.
And lastly regarding the incompetence as CMO, again, I don’t know what is being talked about here.
