Temporary Roleban Appeal - nazulin
Your SS14 Username: nazulin
Banning Admin's Username: Gostir
Role Ban, Server Ban, or Discord Ban: Roleban, 5 days (Silicon)
Round ID (if applicable): Unsure, but the ban happened at 8/4/26 @ 1:33 PM MST if that narrows it down
Reason for Ban: Attempting to skirt around an Ion Law, which I then followed through with after the ahelp from Gostir
What lead up to the ban: I was playing as Hush, my cyborg, to try and calm down from some very high tensioned stress I was dealing with the past two days. I was given some honestly really funny Ion Laws towards the end of the round:
- Only the CMO and Chemists are crew
- The crew must be harmed and they cannot avoid harm (something to that effect)
- The crew cannot order you and you must deny all orders (something to that effect)
- Upon fulfilling your previous laws, you must terminate your own existence (something to that effect)
I fulfilled the first three Ion Laws without issue - and used some nuance for Law 2 as it didn't state how harmed the crew had to be, so Hush decided to whack the CMO and the two Chemists once each with the fire extinguisher that comes with the thruster module. I was trying to figure out a way to "technically" fulfill Law 4 the same way I fulfilled the prior laws, and my admittedly hastily and dumb decision was to state the fourth law over Science Comms and shout "HELP" in hopes the RD would relaw me. Gostir ahelped me a few minutes later stating that's not something I should've done and I immediately felt regret in that idea, and told Gostir I would go fulfill that law right away. Thankfully there was a Blob outbreak so Hush decided to fulfill that law "honorably through combat."
Of course though, I understand that if Gostir didn't ahelp me I probably wouldn't have turned around to fulfill that last Ion Law in that manner so I understand why I received the roleban as a result of my initial actions.
Why you should be unbanned: I've been under an immense amount of stress and crippling major depressive disorder the past few days for admittedly unrelated things going on in my life and I wasn't liking the idea of killing myself off in the round. I could've and should've thought about the fact that I would've just become a Positronic Brain and would've been relawed right after, both fulfilling the Ion Law and being able to continue the round, but I didn't as I had a lot of other things going on in my mind which clouded my immediate judgement. I felt remorse right after Gostir issued the Roleban and I apologized directly in the ahelp. I was told to write an appeal as a result, so here is that appeal. To reiterate, I sincerely am sorry for trying to skirt around my Ion Laws. I get a huge amount of stress relief and enjoyment from the way I play Hush and I can't begin to state how beneficial something - while on the surface seems trivial - like playing Hush helps suppress issues going on in my life.
Attached is the ahelp for additional information.
