Temp ban Appeal - Adriann

[Adriann1]

Your SS14 Username: Adriann

Your Discord Username (only needed for Discord ban appeals): N/A

Banning Admin's Username: Fluxie

Role Ban, Server Ban, or Discord Ban: Temp server ban until Oct 3rd

Round ID (if applicable): N/A

Reason for Ban: Antag Rolling 1x / "The admin team has noticed a pattern cryoing early on into round recently, please only join a round if you intend to see the entire round through"

What lead up to the ban: As mentioned in the ban, from time to time, but especially the last week I had joined the round and cryo'd quite early on.

Why you should be unbanned: I was not doing this to roll for antagonist, some work/real life stuff occurred, especially this past week in particular, and I had to step away, as such I chose to cryo instead of going SSD with no guarantee of return and leaving a slot locked.

I never roll for antagonist in the thousand hours is SS14 and I believe around 300 in funky. I find it too stressful. I believe I have one thief game under my belt, but as far as I recall have never played nukie, traitor, wizard, ninja etc. (maybe a RK or Dragon at some point, once or twice?). I play the game more as a job simulator more than anything, so antagonist is not something I feel like playing, ever. My only other ghost roles are usually pets or mice.

As a general rule, if I feel at all unsure about if I can play the round out, I do not pick any vital role (like command) and this is why I primarily play janitor (well mostly because cleaning the station is fun). Even then I try to ensure whatever in-round business is occurring is sorted (like putting all my cleaning gear away for another jani). I would not want to cryo as an engineer before I sort out power, atmos and have another engi there to handle things, or leave patients hanging as a doctor with no other staff, etc. since that would just ruin the experience for everyone else and I would not want that to happen to me either.

I also do not ragequit cryo or anything similar due to things not going my way. Because I treat this game as a job simulator, I just do my job and RP along whatever situation occurs, there is no "win condition" for me in that regard and no round is "too boring to play".

I am applying to hopefully clarify that this was not done maliciously, to roll for an antag. I was aware of the concept of antag rolling but did not consider my behavior to be seen as a problem due to the reasons stated above, and did not fully understand it since I never play antag, though I see now reading through some Discord discussion how an admin cannot tell if we actually have antags enabled and why I may come across as someone trying to roll for it.

Going forward I will do my best to avoid joining in without intent to see the round through.

Sorry for the long post and thank you for your time!

Hi, I'll be handling your appeal today. As it is a ban below 3 days, it is not subject to a regular admin vote, because the ban would already be over before said vote is finished. Despite your ban already having passed, the appeal is still denied, meaning it will stay on your record.

Antag Rolling describes the behaviour of frequently leaving rounds early, as well as taking actions that purposefully make you an antag. While I understand the wording makes it confusing, frequently leaving rounds very early even when not antag rolling is still in breach of this rule.

There are two main reason for this. The first being that we as admins cannot have insight into everyone's intentions. We can grasp at it, and try to consider intent and circumstance often when handling punishments and ahelps, but at a certain point we do have to apply punishments on behaviour.

Secondly, leaving a round early, even if you carefully put all your equipment away and have all your affairs in order, can still have a negative impact on the round. You might be a target for syndicate or heretic, you might have taken a job that someone else was hoping to roll roundstart in the lobby, or you might have been a witness to something that someone else wants to have you talk about in a court case, as just a few examples.

In the future, we ask that you do not ready up for rounds if you don't think you'll be able to play for the full round, or at least for half of it.
