SCP-RP (USA) - Ban Appeal - Dr. Henry Percy

[BlackShephard]

What server you were banned on: SCP-RP (USA)

Your in-game name: Dr. Henry Percy

Your SteamID: STEAM_1:0:76406106

Ban Reason: Fail RP

Date of ban: 12/13/2024

Who banned you: John Silver

Ban length: 3 days

What will you do to stop this from happening again: By following the rules to the letter. By being incredibly incredibly careful about when i use my firearm. Even if it means me dying and potential losing my thaumatologist spot for 3+ hours because its a such a coveted slot. I will just be very careful and will now record all my sessions with medal despite the hard drive space it will require, to avoid bad situations such as this.

This incident was a clear instance of Self defense as a non combatant. A class D stabbed someone i was having a conversation with. And I shot the Class D. There was no other combatants. There was no other security. The Class D ran at me with a knife so i killed them. They were revived by the Teddy Bear SCP and tried to stab me again so i killed them again. I had nowhere to go. I had my back against a door and a bulkhead outside D block and a person with a knife stabbing people in from of me. I then shot the teddy bear because it kept reviving the class D trying to stab me. I ended up catching another Class D in crossfire. Because this teddy bear was running around reviving people in the middle of multiple hostile class D escaping.

Why should you be unbanned: Why should you be unbanned: I contribute meaningful RP to the server. I put in a tremendous amount of Effort. I strongly believe the rules for noncombatant self defense need to be revised as the current system strongly favors combatants and is overly harsh on non combatants. especially thaumatologists.

Appeal Denied​

Hi @BlackShephard,

Thanks for taking the time to make a ban appeal.

After chatting with the staff member and reviewing the clip, I will be denying your appeal at this time. The job of thaumatologist has been stated in the rules as a non-combative job, and should not seek out combat unless you are actively in danger with no escape, even if there is no other security.
​

4.04 Non-Combative Personnel - The day to day duties of the person's job doesn’t require them to involve themselves in combat, these roles and/or departments may not engage in combat unless there are no options available, such as escape or hiding.​

When the D-Class was stabbing the gensec officer, there was no danger towards your character. Only when you started shooting at the D-Class did he start to charge at you with a knife. If the D-Class instantly ran towards you with a knife, then there would be a valid reason to defend yourself. Several other D-Class walked past with no interest in harming you, there was time to move towards LCZ or medbay, and with reality bending powers you could have passively protected yourself.

I believe the length of this ban is appropriate based on your previous warnings along with the confirmation of a senior admin that was in-game, and can be waited out.
