Ban Appeal, Shotgun to head.

[Seeker3331]

Beyond ID: Seeker3331

Character name: Arthur Dallas

Admin who banned you: apophis775

Initial duration: 10 Days

Duration remaining: 5 Days

Reason for ban: Grief (Suicide)

Your appeal, including evidence (an http://www.imgur.com album is recommended for multiple screenshots): On Sunday 2nd August (I'm Certain) I was banned for 10 days. http://i.imgur.com/WpirV9W.jpg

Essentially what happened was that a fresh round started and I was not in the game for various reasons. I came back a few minutes into the match, I ran into the mess hall and saw fellow marines already geared up with their weapons, armor etc. I usually grab attachments from the Requisitions ( attachments ), so I thought I would grab attachments first, pocket them, then gear up. I ran to that area and I was 2nd in line waiting, a while later an Executive Officer came up 4th in line, he yelled at me to go Gear up before I grab some attachments, I said I would later, when I was served the Requisitions Officer told me he won't serve until I've listened to the Executive officer, I say to the latter that i'll be back with my gear.

I run off to the Squad prep area, and I grab a shotgun. I walk straight back into the Requisitions area and i get within two tiles away from the Executive Officer, he screams my name again, I simply say nothing, I cock my shotgun and placed the barrel into my mouth, I then blew my head off literally all over the floor. I then close the game and play DoWII to remove more Xeno scum.

I assumed I was banned because I griefed the RP? or I griefed the floor with my blood 5 minutes into the game, regardless, an unwise man would claim I was Role-playing trying suicide from the pressure of the military, like Private. Pyle from Full Metal Jacket(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vc2cPuwpqTg), albeit without saying much. Fortunately I am not unwise. So I apologize for killing myself and destroying the RP at the beginning of the round.

EDIT - Filled in the Admin who did this and added my ban picture.

Pressure from the military is getting yelled at to get ready and then someone calling your name. Okay.

[Seeker3331]

Nah, what I said was I just shot myself for no reason, hence I made the cheeky remark, "I'll get my gear sir." There was no RP, which I assume is half the problem.

[Biolock]

If that's the reason, then ten days seems way too extreme, I've got a strong feeling that wasn't the reason. We'll need a banning admin/mod to clarify, which I trust SAS will acquire.

http://i.imgur.com/WpirV9W.jpg? Actually yeah I was banned for 10 days for killing my self in front of Executive Officer. (banned 5 days ago)

[SASoperative]

Well Apop banned you... And he probably had good reason I assume but I will talk to him...

[apophis775]

The reason was, he was ordered by the Executive officer, several times to go get geared before getting equipment. He ignored the orders all the times, then left when the XO called for Military Police.
He said "Righto, I'll be back" returned with a shotgun, and blew his face off.

I know that, Biolock was writing up a ban reason for him, around the same time I did it.

But honestly, the situation did NOT give for an "RP suicide", especially such a public one.

If I shot myself when I was in the Army, anytime an officer gave me an order I didn't like, I'd be dead a hundred times over.

[Biolock]

He wasn't right to suicide over it, but a ten day ban is usually reserved for the worst offenses, pending a perma ban, no?

[Seeker3331]

Hate to sound like an arse, but will I have to wait the remaining 4 days to be unbanned?

Like stated above, I killed myself in the first 5 minutes of the match without a real reason, I did so in front of many people, especially the XO.

So in reality my only defence/justification is that I know what I did and I apologise for griefing the server (RP) by killing myself early in the round, the only thing I can say is that I know what I did wrong and I won't do it again.

[SASoperative]

I honestly do not know..... Apop delivered the ban so I am leaving that up to him.

[apophis775]

Except, you were also an important position. You were the squad LEADER.

That's why the ban was so severe.

That's why the ban was so severe.

Sorry what? I have never been a Squad leader, my setting are for Marine Engineer: High, Marine Grunt(I think): medium. I have never put squad leader on high/medium and because of that I have never played Squad leader, especially when I killed myself.

Check if you can, but I am very certain that I was just a engineer (or grunt).

EDIT: Added "engineer" at end of 2nd sentence.

[apophis775]

No, you were a Squad Leader.

It might randomly "force" you into the position. but you were a squad leader, and they needed to get a replacement.

Appeal resolved plus ban timer is up.
