re-attempt to remove ban from Specialist

[stormraider49]

Byond ID: Stormraider49

Character name: Lorde Moon

Admin who banned you: SASoperative (I'm fairly certain)

Initial duration: until I appeal

Duration remaining: until granted

Reason for ban: suiciding and depressurizing the sulaco

Your appeal, including evidence (an www.imgur.com album is recommended for multiple screenshots): After looking at my last post, I see where you are coming from, but I do care about the job. I want to support the marines as best I can as a Spec, I enjoy the weapons I get to use as a Spec, to be honest I was only using the rocket that one time to sort of find the weapon that best suited me, it was more an experiment at the time. As for the suicide, I assure you that was on accident, I panicked (but this is going off what I remember so I could be ((and I probably am)) wrong), and I'm sure you hear this at least 10 times a day, but I learned my lesson with that. I would like to use the smartgun if I had the option, I'm kinda scared to use the rocket again after that fiasco to be honest (I never was the best with explosives to begin with) but in summary, I want to be given a second chance as a gunner rather than a rocketeer, I can't hurt fellow marines with the smartgun, so if you let me, thank you, but if not, that's okay too. (sorry it's so long, wanted to get it all out)

As for the name, I don't intend to change it any further, I quite like the name I have. also, SAS, not to be that guy, but say what I need to do to prove it and I'll do it.

You were denied less than a week ago.

not to be an ass but all it says it to wait at minimum 24 hours before trying again, and I was mostly just getting out the story now that they explained what happened

[stormraider49]

plus to be brutally honest, Spec, Squad Lead and Marine are the only classes I'm good at, I can't engi at all or medic, and command is just a no

[apophis775]

Ehhhh Not fond of that name.

[stormraider49]

okay, I just wanna ask, why is my name bad, cuz I think it's going over my head

[Feweh]

Might have something to with the fact that you've been asked to change your name 3-4 times now.. this is the sequence of names so far.

Moon
Lord Moon
Lorde Moon

Read this:
Since CM started as a medium-RP server we've been fairly relaxed about Marine names. However, as we evolve and learn and grow, we've come to understand roleplay controllable factors vs uncontrollable factors.

For example, the server needs donations in order to remain online. Therefore, we allow players to donate for some cool-looking gear so long as it's within the boundaries of a futuristic space genre. This is an uncontrollable factor. In other words, it's not exactly Aliens-universe or "canon", and thus slightly immersion-breaking, but it's a perfectly acceptable alternative to shutting down.

On the other hand, Marine names are a controllable factor. The rules regarding them can be as strict or as loose as we like without any affect on the server. Or, so we thought.

A reasonable scenario to us was something like a CMO named Gregory House who was excellent at his job, a great RP'er, and had his own unique story. The pop-culture name would be overlooked as amusing. However, as we gain in popularity, we're seeing more and more names like Barack Obama, Marcus Fenix, Vladimir Putin, Akino Himejima, etc. There's no consideration to individuality - it's just people picking names of famous people or pop-culture icons.

To put it bluntly, this going to end. Our Character Names rule is changing. Nicknames will still be allowed, however, pop-culture names from games, books, movies, or any other media/entertainment/society along with famous names are no longer allowed. Read the rule here.

While we're still on Stable, breaking this rule will start with a friendly heads-up that you should change your name (since a lot of players including donors will be non-compliant and not everyone reads the forums). Once we switch to Alpha, it becomes as strict as any other rule, up to and including a permaban for continuing to use a name that is against the rules. Donors - Apophis should be contacting you directly to have your name changed if your name is against the new rule (because getting your gear is directly tied to your character name). If you'd like to help, let him know now by sending him a forum PM.

Thank you.

okay, but in my defence, I diden't know Lorde Moon was from something, and also, the Random Name Generator gave it to me, I've just grown fond of it, but I'll be sure to change it next time I log on, that alright?

Didn't you start out with the name "Moon" and switch it to "Lord Moon" before arriving at "Lorde Moon"? But now you're telling us you arrived at the final result from a name generator? Are you being honest with us?

The issue with Lord Moon is that it isn't a name. It's in the same vein as being called Turkey Bacon, Cloud Bird or Truck Dumpster.

[apophis775]

It's also the same as being called "Fuckface Von Clownstick".

Yeah.... I remember I did deliver this to you. You shot a rocket near the shuttle while there was not even a single alien near where you had fired. Where you could have fired. And where the rocket landed. Aliens were all on the other side of the hanger and you killed 9 marines with your shot and wounded 7 more due to atmospherics

Since you have yet to state any other reasoning after all we have posted DENIED
