In response to the chat log, he barely ever spoke to me nor anyone else, was very minimal with words but I still knew who he was due to the species and fairly memorable name/round together. Honestly he just followed me around so I just went with it because I had never had a BlueShield before and the main reasoning behind me just picking him is because no new players will experience that, and new things like that tend to lead to fun rp situations. I can see how this looks from an admins standpoint and yes I too would be suspicious but in my defense I would have never chatted IG with him in the first place if I was metacomming.
Response
1. No idea of exact dates, was over a 1-3 months ago (I remember the experience itself due to it's uniqueness, yes I realize how bad that looks.)
2. Multiple rounds (very few), No major interactions outside the one shift.
3. No
4. I have never coordinated to join or play together with anyone, the most I've done is join whilst a steam friend was also playing (joined to play by myself).
5. I think I know what you mean? No, I have never coordinated outside a round on what to do in a specific round.
Additional: With all that being said, I have never metacommed and had no intent to harm anyone's round. I will admit to favoring Juan for the BlueShield job due to a previous shift, however I had no bad intentions and just wanted to have a good time with someone who I remembered from a previous shift, which yes, I regret to say is "metagaming". After thinking and writing this I have realized the potential harm I could have caused to the round and community, and I am sorry. Thanks for reading, it won't happen again.
