Ban reason: Metacomms
Date of ban: March 17th 2023
Length of ban: Indefinite until appeal
Events leading to the ban: I was playing on [EN] Wizard's Den Lizard [US West] with a friend of mine. We were in a voice call on discord hanging out as we figured out the game, enjoyed the chaos, and roleplayed out scenarios. My friend went afk since they were tired and needed a break with no intention of coming back, they made that clear to me. Playing a medical assistant, I watched as people kept trying to resurrect them. I didn't want them wasting their time, so I told the rescuers my friend wasn't playing anymore. I told them I was in a call with them and they had left the game. It was a few minutes after that I got banned from the game.
Reason the ban should be removed: I didn't know being in voice calls outside of the game was against the rules, my mistake for not reading them properly. I didn't think there would be an issue since we weren't cross-teaming or rigging the game against anyone, we were only talking to each other to figure the game out and have fun in vc by roleplaying silly scenarios, like running a bar or assisting in medical. We were enjoying sharing our experiences with the shenanigans that went on in the game.
I had tried to talk in OOC about my friend being AFK, but I didn't see my messages pop up and no one responded, so I talked in local chat where I knew others would see it.
I'm sorry for breaking the rules, it won't happen again. It was an honest mistake.
