ban message:
appeal: For some context, I ran into this guy who was a Plant. We went down near the gateway and saw it was open, and I explained what it was to him. He wanted to return to his homeworld, and I decided to help him. A few others joined us, and our new goal was to open the gateway to return plant home. We tried a few things, including ritual sacrifice and runes (of a already dead soulless corpse), asking the captain to message centcom a few times, and making statements on comms. Nothing was working and after about, like half an hour or so of trying, we decided to send a message to centcom ourselves, since we weren’t sure if the captain did or not. So, we went to the bridge and were let in by a borg going by. I borrowed the HoS’s PDA to try to send a message, but it turns out you can’t send messages to centcom with it. Captain came in and knocked Plant down and stole his plant form behind his glass. I used the pda to drag the plant out of the area to the gateway, and then gave the PDA back to SEC and it was returned to the HoS. Then I was brought to the Brig to be searched and what not, and released. Then I got a MONTH ban applied.
So, I didn’t grief or affect the HoS in anyway. He got his ID and PDA back moments after, and I didn’t use it to greytide into any areas, instead only to attempt to send a message to Centcom, and to leave the bridge. As for the ‘rioting’, I don’t understand that part at all. I didn’t harm anybody, nor did I fight anybody. I did however make a joke on comms about going to shoot Plant, in which he, right next to me, jokingly replied to it. It was obviously a joke, and it was in an attempt to, once again, get the gateway opened for him. Nobody seemed to care, and nobody was harmed. Once again, no rioting.
So, I would like the ban removed. I did not affect any players negatively nor the round. I was doing a gimmick along with a six or so other players. No reason to be banned over something so harmless.
