Banning Admin's Username: DimesEqual9
Role Ban, Server Ban, or Discord Ban: Game Ban and Role Ban from Security (I'm not sure which one of the two is appealable)
Round ID (if applicable): 16830
Reason for Ban: Over-Escalation x 2: As a security cadet during round 16830 on cirno, in response to a minor provocation by a clown, unloaded an entire magazine of a mk58 into said clown.
What lead up to the ban: I discussed a bit with the admin in Ahelp, and apparently I have received multiple reports of over-escalation, so I'm not sure what the other reasons are. With the admin, I only discussed the case with the clown so I will talk about that, because I genuinely don't know what other over-escalation I might have done.
Essentially, I was playing a Cadet during this round, I was just sitting in the station doing nothing, then I get some requests by HoS to get up and follow an Officer around for patrol. So I get up and get patrolling, mind you this was all during code red, the Officer accompanying me goes momentarily to some other part of the station to do something so I am left alone in the middle of an hallway.
Suddenly, a clown creeps up on me, I recognized him because I saw him bothering other people before, so I create some distance.
The clown then says something along the lines of "you know what's gonna happen now, right cadet?" and, out of nowhere, pulls out a fake gun and starts shooting all over the place. I instinctively reached for the gun I got from code red and say over sec comms something like "the clown has a gun" and that he wanted to kill me. So I, foolishly, start shooting at him with my real gun, not recognizing that the gun was fake.
After clarifications, I put away my gun and communicate over comms that the clown wasn't a threat and that I was wrong.
The clown was unharmed, as in he didn't even need medical attention, and I walked away.
The other instances of escalation happened all under code red, so I genuinely don't know what the admin who banned me was referring to, I almost arrested a janitor for possessing a gun in her belt, then arrested an assistant for assaulting me and my fellow Officer who was accompanying me.
Why you should be unbanned:
I want to apologize to the trouble I caused, first of all.
I know I did some dumb shit this shift, I acted out of instinct under code red when I shouldn't have, by shooting the clown who was shooting me with a fake gun; at the same time, all the actions I did during this shift were natural developments of pre-established escalation, being my first shift as SEC and being alone, I had no idea how to manage that stressful situation under code red and I did a mistake, but I wouldn't call it over-escalation, simply because I had no way to know that he was shooting a fake gun in the heat of the moment.
I don't feel like my actions had any negative consequence on the enjoyment of other players, if anything I probably got a few laughs at the people who were spectating, and the clown continued to taunt me even after all of that happened, there were no ill feelings.
