Your appeal, including evidence (screenshots, etc):
I'm appealing this after the two weeks (+- 10-15 hours) as said.
To provide a succinct timeline, here's all the actions which led me to that Survivor in maint and gave me the idea of starting a prank:
*A Survivor is found and then escorted to the XO, where they spend 10-20 minutes talking
*That same survivor, after leaving the office and cleared, then begins talking about slavery and mind control to other people / over the radio (details are fuzzy at this point, but it was in that general field)
*<time passes>
*Another survivor is reported to be in Disposals, one that hasn't been cleared / searched to my knowledge
*I go there and find him with an active bounced radio on him
*As I ask him to calm down and not be scared of him, someone who overheard our conversation remarked, "You know you're scary, right, WO?" (details fuzzy, don't have logs, but what's said had a similar thought behind it)
*This, combined with the first survivor's blabber and the fact that our conversation would be listened to, gave me the idea to give a little spooky show for anyone eavesdropping on the conversation
*I begin to speak eerily creepy things ("It's okay. You have nothing to.. worry about.") and the like, which naturally creeped the Survivor out
*Another MP overhears the conversation and comes to Disposals
*I, on the spot, come up with a continuation of the "joke" and say ("Did you bring the shotgun?") - This was completely impromptu and I never asked him to bring one. It simply crossed my mind as a decent horrifying addition to anyone listening in.
*The other MP, Martin Stevenson, literally draws out a shotgun and drops it on the ground.
*I, literally laughing irl while astonished by the coincidence, pick up the shotgun and walk towards the survivor, then wield it and unwield (in a spammy fashion) it a few times.
*I continue to spook him by audibly telling him to get on his knees.
*I then stop the prank (iirc I give the shotgun back to the MP or drop it) as I realize it's been going on for too long / gone too far and simply tell him what I came there for. At this point the whole spooky radio thing has been going on for 5-10 minutes.
*The guy accidentally misfires his gun while giving us instructions (he had a gun out the whole time, and I never approached him within 2 tiles due to that) at the other MP, who was in the doorway (iirc).
*I detain him.
Logs from the latter end of the whole event (I wasn't recording the logs for that round, this was all that I could record that was relevant to the event):
So, summing it up, I really took the whole damn thing too far and I apologize for that. I believe I should never have even picked up the shotgun to begin with and cut the "prank" off probably before even mentioning the shotgun. That was an honest lapse in judgement as I had zero expectations of even getting it, I only spoke it out loud to further the spooky "CMP-has-gone-full-nazi-oh-god" side of it. I didn't have any lethal weapons on me at the time (except for a M4A1 in my holster, which I never drew).
Although I may not have had bad intentions (Again, no plans of ever shooting him or doing anything else to harm him), I was still ICly causing an incredibly distressful situation for the Survivor, who had all the reason to believe he was about to get enslaved or worse - after all, he was locked in with a creepy black trenchcoat-wearing military guy who said only concerning things and this whole thing was worrisome to anyone listening in (although, that was partly the point of the whole "prank".)
