What will you do to stop this from happening again:

I will make an effort to not do stupid shit like this on ERT again, considering the anti-team damaging isn't perfect. I have already made an effort to change my behavior in regards to receiving RDM warnings, considering my last RDM warn/ban was over a month and a half ago from my more roleplay-leaning playstyle.

Prior to this, have you ever been warned/kicked/banned?

Yes, I have 6 RDM warnings and one ban. All warnings are expired.

Why should you be unbanned:

This incident was a complete accident on my part. I understand my fault in placing down a proximity mine, even though I didn't expect it to damage other players. A contributing factor to my poor decision making was something you can see in the video of the incident; both Claire and Aki placing proximity mines, which don't damage any ERT due to the anti-teamkilling. This influenced my decision to place one down as a joke/just to mess around.

Unfortunately, seemingly due to a bug which has been reported, my proximity mine killed all the ERT in the elevator. Of course, this doesn't excuse my behavior in any capacity considering that I shouldn't have placed one down considering the roleplay expectations and rules of the server, along with common sense in just not placing one in a group of people. I think my ban should be reduced from 2 weeks considering I had absolutely no malicious intent, and did not expect the mine to kill 4 ERT considering the mines usually do no damage.

How can you ensure that you won't break any other rule?:

As stated prior, I have already been changing my behavior towards roleplaying more to not break the rules of the server - this can be seen in how I have not received a RDM warning or ban in the past month and a half, which I used to semi-frequently receive. I will continue to shift my behavior towards more serious roleplay oriented gameplay to better follow the server rules.

Why do you want to rejoin this server?:

I spend a large chunk of my free time playing Civil Networks, considering the server is enjoyable and lets me meet new friends and spend time with them. I have worked to receive roleplay-oriented positions, such as being in the GOC. I want to rejoin the server because it's enjoyable to play on.

Hello, @checkraisefold


I had given you the ban due to the fact you knew a proxy mine will be able to kill you, as shown by Aki's clip.
In the sit you said it was not intended, but the clip quite does show you knowing it will kill people
"You said the way you do it, is you grav gun it, and it should kill people"
then the elevator blows up
I will admit that I did place a proxy mine outside the elevator, and stand on it, knowing it will not kill me, due to the fact of the bug of the proxy mine, while you knew it will kill people, and you still tried it.



Stay safe,
Claire

Appeal Accepted​

---

Hi @checkraisefold ,

Thanks for taking the time to make a ban appeal.

I have made the decision to accept your ban appeal, however, it will not result in a full removal of the ban. The reason for this is that you were knowingly abusing a bug that allowed a proxy mine to teamkill other ERTs. I will be reducing the ban to a week.

Kind regards,
Alex Bones​
