Monstrosity

They do, they'll be unavailable until tomorrow but common usernames I know of theirs off the top of my head would be cooter, or cootsi.

I still have no clue who was the original coordinator of this all. To me, wufleee was just the person who brought me in on it. As I mentioned earlier I legitimately know no else alongside all the other people making appeals for this incident besides randy. I do not believe it is justified to execute someone over that no, however in the moment it felt like it came off as an order from the captain specifically which is why I did participate in it. Thinking about it now it feels similar to a "If your friend jumped off a bridge and told you to do the same, would you?" type of scenario. I feel the sequence of events begins to be considered overescalation just after probably no more than two punches to someone in a non-crit state. Also related to "metagaming" and how difficult it may be to disprove it as an admin I would like to show you the only evidence I have that at no point during the round was I ever in communication with someone who was also playing during the round. I was in a call with someone long before the incident began and ~2 or more hours after we had all been banned.

1. I myself had absolutely no idea or knowledge of any admin approving of the plan or anyone telling me an admin approved of the plan. I can't answer anything you're asking in this question. 2. Yes, however we were simply informed that it'd be a chronological order thing and we were moreso identified by a number more than our name. I would also like to mention I didn't even know who more than half of the other people were, as in I have literally never seen their existence inside or outside the game in my life other than two other Samuels - and even during the round it was still practically impossible to identify anyone that I might have known. 3. I was informed of the idea by wufleee. 4. I was unarmed with quite literally anything the entire round I think, the Captain beforehand telling us to execute said person claimed he had been injected with emergency pens of all sorts multiple times by the person he ordered us to kill so I did help kill the person. The captain had told us to kill him so y'know a lot of us I think really did try to kill him past crit and before the captain had said for us to stop the body got gibbed. I will come forward and say I'm quite newish to the game still compared to many other people so I have no idea what the gibbing threshold is or how much damage humans are able to output with their fists alone since I have only played as a lizard and are familiar with their damage output only, so I was genuinely surprised that the body did get gibbed. Anyway, my involvement was punching from when the captain told us to kill to when the captain told us to stop and I am almost confident by the time he said stop the body gibbed.

SS14 account username: [Monstrosity] Ban reason: [Metagaming, self-antag spree] Date of ban: [02/04/23] Length of ban: [Permanent I would assume because it's appeal only] Events leading to the ban: [Was informed of a neat roleplay idea where a group of people would join Lizard at the same time where we all HAD to believe what any other person had told us. This was like days beforehand and there was nothing else discussed of it and there was ZERO (at least myself personally) metagaming? metacomming? whatever I don't know there's so many terms being dished at it in the discord. During the round I had bumped into another Samuel and from there on as a Chaplain I decided we must all go to the church to pray in which we did. I will admit I did break the lights in the chapel just to fit the mood of having a group prayer session. From there an officer had stumbled in and a bunch of the other Samuels didn't really like their presence so I asked them to leave but they decided to stay so we SHOVED them only to entice them to leave. I guess the other people took it a bit further than that and chased em off while still shoving and by the time I realized that, I kinda didn't wanna be involved in that kind of behavior so I tried preaching peace to the other Samuels and to the Captain as well. The captain agreed to achieve peace but first he told us to kill someone so we kinda just did that and afterwards peace was announced. From there on I kind of stuck with the Samuel group a bit and really tried to just not be violent or annoying etc and encouraged the others to be so as well. I went about the round completing just general crew tasks, getting drunk, helping an officer arrest someone who killed the CMO, helped prevent kudzu spread or at least tried to since I only had my fists. Later on we had all stumbled upon bridge where there was a big KILL sign above captain and I was generally confused about it all and just a few moments after that I was banned.] Reason the ban should be removed: [I mean according to the official server rules there was no real metagaming (again, at least with myself) that took place. "Do not talk with other users actively playing the game through outside game means..." I only engaged in in-game chat and radio the whole round. Users in Discord discussed that well okay, if you say you weren't metagaming then you were "metafriending" and at this point it kinda just feels like people are just trying to find a way to blame it as something. If metafriending is the case then everyone in the SS14 Discord who have their in-game character's name present in their Discord nicknames are subject to metagaming or metafriending whatever since people know who that person is now. I also really did try to not be a nuisance but since I was involved in the crowd of other Samuels and some of their bad actions it's with no doubt I was also punished.]
