HALO: SPACE STATION EVOLVED BAN APPEAL FORUM

 When I was banned, there was some joking about scams. I told Warlordtoby that he should follow a link to make thousands of dollars a day as a joke about scams. To add to it, I looked in another discord and copy pasted a shady link, which was dumb and unnecessary. My goal was not to spam the server, but I can definitely see that it did not contribute to the discord. It was a mistake to post it, and I'm sorry for being a dumbass about it. To avoid this in future, I will not use shady links to make jokes about scams, and will only use the normal Nigerian prince/IRS jokes. If this was a temporary ban, I apologize for appealing, but I am currently unable to contact Bloxgate due to being banned from discord. I was planning to explain my mistake there, but I will do it here too. I promise to not post shady links anymore.    I'm also sorry to Warlordtoby, who followed the link and may have gotten computer AIDs in the process.

Was not sure where to put this the discord server link on the main page https://projectunsc.org/ has expired so I can't get onto the discord would love to so I can ask a few questions here and there without needing to be on the server as well as chatting with fellow players.

Your Byond/Ckey Username: CaelumZ

Your character name (if relevant): Rex 'Chance' Lombardi

Who were you banned by:  Desolane

Date of ban: 5/30/2018

Length of ban: Until Appealed

Full ban reason: Reason: muti-keying and bomb grief early round start.

Appeal details/ Why should you be unbanned

There was no rule against multi-keying at the time of my ban. It was never a stated rule or a rule put in place. Nothing about it, the only think even hinting was ban evading- Of which I was doing none of. 

As for the early grief round start bomb, I was going for a hostile takeover of the mayors office. When I saw a cop was in there, I made my move- When I was race changed. Oops! I was Kig-Yar at the time as an Innie (A funny joke in my opinion, it certainly spiced things up!) But I was race changed into a human. With no other options, I grabbed for the bomb that was dropped, holding it in my hand. I told the police officer to back away and RPed pointing to the bomb. He charged at me multiple times, so I did my only option and tried to pacify him with the bomb.

We both got blown up by it. I RPed the rest out from there.

I honestly think there's no reason to ban someone over a rule you didn't set in place. The second one I can understand, but it wasn't really grief since the RP created out of it was arguably pretty good, all things considered. Anyways, the multi-key wasn't even a rule in place, and there's other servers that dont have multi-key rules either. Multiple admins that I asked about it either said nothing or just shrugged it off, and even a member of staff (Pillow) who said it was alright as long as we RPed it correctly. So I mean... It felt pretty wrong, pulling us all aside, sending out bans, breaking people off whitelists... All because of one rule you forgot to put in.

Hell, put it in now. Put it in and act on it. But to ban based on a rule that wasn't anywhere to begin with... It feels wrong, and feels like a power play just to get rid of me. I think my fellow players will agree with me.

What position are you applying for (Development or Staff)?
Staff

How old are you?
19

Known IC Names Or Ckey:
Liam_Gallagher

Discord Name? (The projects preferred chat application):
OsamaBinBrahmin

What timezone are you in?
CST and CDT

How active can you be?
If the server is up, I'll probably be on it at least one round out of the day.

How long have you been active within the Space Station 13 community?
I think 6 years

Do you have a history of bans?
1 day ban on para for not knowing the rules on end of round grief (which they changed like a week afterwards...), and a temp job-ban on CM for memes (declaring war against all of monkey kind as a commander is apparently "Meta").

Do you have any past experience as server staff/moderation?
I was trial mod on CM for about 2 weeks.

*If you are applying for moderation, Describe what you think is the most important in moderation.
Bias  A thorough understanding of the rules and a fair and just decision making process. Something that is also important would be restraint and a cool head.

Why am I applying? I already contribute to the server outside of the actual game with spriting and I want to be able to contribute while playing as well. So instead of just slacking off on developing every time the server is up, I'll be doing something productive.

Ckey: Sirhelgate

Discord name: Haresay

In-character name: Tchar Kal

general character info: Tchar can be found where the Pay goes, he's easily lured into working for groups that pay him well. Tchar belongs to the subspecies T'vaoan 'Skrimishers'. He's often persuaded by large sums of weapons, and failing that valuable jewels and gold hold his attention. First and for most above ALL else he fights for valuables. He can be easily enticed to fight for the covenant, Insurrectionists, or anyone else willing to pay for his time. Though he's highly secretive about things that extend beyond the confines of his pay, and he's more often to side with his own kind than anything else. He's slim and agile, prefering to hold true to the name of 'skrimisher', and ducks out when things are looking rough to seek better fighting positions. He's got a deep dislike of Jiralhanae due to their aggressive, upfront nature.

Reason for joining : always enjoy playing aliens of the sneaky Variety, I've always been fond of jackals and their subspecies. More over I am a big fan of the 'privateer' style of things.

Welcome,
Prophet of Harmony

Accessing file: Special Operations, Sangheili, Vaka'Zuvum

Promotions: Minor (Year 2507), Major (2511), Special Operations - Temporary (2524)

Reason for temporary status: Lack of manpower, emergency promotion made. 

Service History



Minor: Leader of an Unggoy boarding squad while hunting rogue Kig'Yar pirates harassing Covenant traders. Noted effectiveness in close quarters and responsible for slaying a shipmistress in single combat. Note: Shipmistress was of a smaller vessel from the Kig'Yar pirate fleet. Analysis suggests being inexperienced in command and in combat. End note. Commended for successfully capturing the ship in a joint operation with another boarding party. Promotion to Major was received post elimination of the pirate threat in-system.

Major: Led one Sangheili Minor (Muv'Karam) and several Unggoy of ranks between minor to major. This squad and two others were deployed in response to a small Jiralhanae rebellion on the mining colony of Magellan IV. Rebels were noted to be using mining equipment along with makeshift melee weapons to kill their handlers and guards, then arming themselves with weapons from the fallen. Spirit dropship came under fire from hijacked outpost defences and was grounded, leading to minor injury among the squad. Approach to the outpost was covered by rock formations, likewise with other drop points. Vaka'Zuvum's squad attacked from the east in conjunction with squads to the south and west to cripple defences in order to allow further reinforcements if necessary. Rebels provided stiff resistance and slew several Unggoy, but lack of armour and training made them ineffective. 

The attack on the center of the outpost was made with the combined forces of all three squads. Several Unggoy were coaxed to use their grenades to break the lines-Being informed to arm them and charge forward. This tactic proved effective and opened a breach in the walls, allowing the remaining squad members (Including two other Major/Minor pairs and eight Unggoy). The Jiralhanae were far more effective in close combat and slew one Major and two Minors (Including Muv'Karam), as well as all but three Unggoy. Vaka'Zuvum is noted for ordering his squad to cease fire support and engaging a particularly large grey-haired Jiralhanae in single combat with his type 1 energy weapon. He emerged from combat with a severely injured shoulder caused by a mining drill.

Special Operations: Lack of manpower to operate in Nameless systems to prevent breaking of First Contact protocol until a decision is reached has caused several temporary promotions to higher ranks in those assigned to the Prophet Of Harmony, including Vaka'Zuvum. Upon acquisition of further manpower, Vaka'Zuvum will be required to train further and prove his worth as a Special Operations operative if he so wishes.

(OOC note: The whole temporary promotion thing is because applications for Special Operations don't exist yet. Once they are, I'm sure I'll be bumped down to Major and have to apply for it. And I'm waiting until brutes arrive to really make my main race choice permanent, because I like them both very much, and having a permanent character for them means people will recognise me and know if I can play well or not. When brutes arrive, I'll be taking a look at both, and if I believe brutes are better in melee combat, and I simply prefer them due to how they roleplay or how they function, are equipped, etcetera, I'll be discontinuing Vaka'Zuvum in favour of a Jiralhanae character.)
