Your Byond ID:KingPhilipIII

Character Name:Haythem Castian

Type Of Ban (Job-ban, Timed Ban, Permaban): Job-ban (Xeno ban, to be specific)

Admin who banned you (if known): Jaketeaking

Total Ban Duration: Permanent

Remaining Duration: The rest of eternity, and all that shall come afterwards.

What other servers do you play on? Baystation 12, Paradise Station, TG station

Are you now or have you been banned on any servers? Which ones? I once received a twenty four hour ban on both TG and Paradise, the Para ban because I was angry in LOOC after being caught, the ban on TG for killing another assistant after a fist fight got out of hand. These were both some time ago.

Reason for ban (If you have a Permaban, it should be the EXACT MESSAGE YOU GET WHEN YOU LOGIN with the Error code that looks like this: X##XXX##. If you do not provide this EXACTLY you can't be unbanned): BBlatant metagaming, Melted alpha and bravo prep weapon vendors. Player was understanding when questioned. ]

Link to previous appeals for the same ban (if applicable): N/A

Your appeal, including evidence (screenshots, etc): I was banned for meta-gaming, because as a spitter on the Almayer (Outside of the unpleasant business that got me banned, it was an absolutely amazing round with a perfect ending of my rescuing xenos crushing me with the hijacked ship) I melted the weapons vendors in Alpha and Bravo prep. I've been playing as a marine for the last week and I realize just how blatantly that was crippling and unacceptable in terms of playing the game. I had initially thought it was considered part of 'acceptable meta' in that after observing the marines it was valid to attack things that otherwise would have been inconsequential to the xenos(I'd seen dozens of marines gearing up while considering whether to emerge from my vent to bite their heads off.) but I had not realized it was considered unacceptable in any circumstances.

I really do apologize, I've definitely gained some perspective and I'll most definitely watch myself more carefully, it was never my intent to violate the rules but I realize I'd let my competativeness allow me to ruin the spirit of the game and that was wrong of me. I was told it was due to a prior collection of notes what would have been a very heavy warning became a xeno ban, and when they were listed for me I found these were notes I have what I personally think to be valid reasons to defeat them.

With regards to the first note about slashing nested hosts, my memory was fuzzy about that particular instance but I believe the marine was uninfected and I was neither capable of getting eggs nor getting someone to infect them. I was already busy so I tried to incapacitate them so they wouldn't break loose and escape. I was under the impression that only infected marines were not allowed to be slashed, but I can admit my mistake and I've not repeated the mistake.

With regards to the altercation with the marine, they were nested and continued to escape. Eventually they got out a flamethrower and grenades, and me in all my brilliance slashed the nest and destroyed it while trying to disarm them. At that point I had no other open nests and judging my options (I was not a caste that could build new nests) I opted to severely injure the flame spewing marine rather than risk further chaos and wait for assistance in building a new nest. The marine quickly accused me of destroying the nest on purpose so I would have an excuse to kill him, and while I maintain that wasn't the case, judge as you will. I'm just here to explain myself.

One of which was 'Meming as a xeno. 'Used skree''. If this was the occurence I think it was, it was a few days after an admin(I forget who) announced during a round they were enforcing higher standards of roleplay for xenomorphs. I explicitly remember in the message them saying 'Reee' and 'Skree' were considered acceptable so long as they were not excessive or annoying such as REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE or something along the lines. A few days later I said 'Skreee!' as I chestbursted (Which is quite literally the noise they make.) and I recieved an admin PM telling me that violated the new RP standards. I reported what I'd heard before and I thought the matter done, I refrained from saying it further and I did not realize that incident would come back to bite me later. I understand the purpose of the note system is a paper trail to track the continous problems of a particular player but it's to my opinion given the circumstances that could be disregarded as a fault in my behavior, atleast considering I ceased once told that it was in fact not okay.

The other note about laying eggs under a door, as a Queen I was walking around to reach my hive and I was laying eggs as I went. I laid one under a door without even realizing that was prohibited or that I did it under a door at all. I don't expect it to be disregarded but I did cease and I hope my explanation that there was no intent might support my case.

The next one was fairly recent. I had burst on the Almayer and I'd been looking for a safe room to grow. I found a tiny room used for atmospherics. In line with many other servers it is a massively overpressurized room with a single, normal canister inside so you can easily tell which gas is inside and refrain from accidental atmos-fuckery. I became a drone, planted weeds and melted the canister to give me more space. The marines wound up finding me and so began the long wait of them trying to get into a literally impenetrable room while I sat and watched, trapped because they had removed the pipe I'd used to crawl in and they were outside with a large number of shotguns. I got PM'd about not messing with atmosia and I said it was to give space and it didn't actually affect atmospherics(Primarily since the ship rarely requires a refill of air in any case because it is not prone to breaches, which is the primary purpose of those rooms) although I said I would leave if me hiding in there was an issue. It was declared an IC issue and I thought all was well up until that note came back to bite me. I understand not messing with the air since it causes all kinds of mayhem but I had not actually done anything(Atleast I think) but I feel like a note just saying 'Deleted air canister in atmos.' is somewhat vague with regards to what had actually happened.

I'm refraining from addressing my general notes since I don't think they really require an explanation in that the problems were obvious, solved and life moved on, plus I'm more concerned about my xeno problems.

I hope you all consider repealing my xeno ban. I've developed a new appreciation for playing as the marines, one I've not had since I first began playing the game, but it is always nice to have a chance to rejoin and play the game after I get my head torn off or I get lit up by my balding comrades that can't aim and decided burst fire with AP was a good idea at medium to long range.

Alright, I stand corrected, those were the three notes I was informed of at the time, I will edit accordingly however.

Thank you for the list @VitorThauma.

So, your apology and understanding of what you did is very genuine, and I really do believe you, but having accumulated as many xeno notes as you did during just a 3 month period of time, it feels to me like it would be best for you to take a break from xeno for about a month and reacclimate yourself with some of the rules.

Alright, I understand. Thank you for the prompt response.
