Hey, guys, First and foremost my apologies if I broke any rules. I did somewhat troll as commanding officer, but I did nothing too drastically effect or ruin the game experience for anyone else. I was simply trying to make life difficult for the Executive for disobeying an order. I decided to change his personnel profile and printed it out and handed it to a few of the crew before logging out for the night.

I have played successful games as CO before and had very rewarding role-playing experiences and this is the first time I've ever had a brush-in with any other players. So, I apologise to the person who was playing the executive order -- I was merely just trying to spice up the role-play by playing a disgruntled commanding officer.

I wasn't aware that I was breaking any rules and I hope that the administration has it in their hearts to remove the ban and the restrictions apposed to my account post-ban. I chose this server because of the amazing community and the focus on heavy role-play. Thought I could role-play into some shenanigans but I learned from my mistake.

If this appeal is rejected -- no harm, no foul. Amazing server you guys have here and I wish you guys the best of luck!

All the best

 

Completely understand. Aim was to discredit the executive officer to win over the crew; obviously that didn't work. My cheap trick failed terrible. People assumed the commander had gone mad and rightfully so. One thing that didn't occur to me at the time is that I might have actually been offensive -- that was never my intention.

I've had many wonderful experiences with serious role-play as many different classes, including command; and honestly I preferred those times. I felt that try to create some shenanigans through role-play just cheapened the experience.

As for rule 15, just had some family matters to attend to but I intended to return, just wasn't an option. My apologies.

Again, I respect the ban. In hindsight this wasn't funny and just annoying. If you do decide to lift the ban and the restrictions imposed, I can guarantee you that it wont happen again. My actions cheapened the experience for all involved, that was not my intention, but it happened.

Here are the rules I feel I broke:

Main Rule, 7. Don't Powergame.

Although it technically isn't powergaming by definition, I certainly think that my actions could be considered as a form of powergaming; I took advantage of my role to manipulate a players information.

Main Rule, 15. Leave play correctly.

I didn't enter the cryo chamber which meant for the duration of the round no-one else was able to access this role. It was unintentional, but regardless I did break this rule.

Character Rule, 9. Roleplay with regard for others.

I clearly didn't do this in regards to the executive officer. I meant no harm, but can definitely see how it may have cheapened his experience.

 

You could definitely argue that, but more specifically rule 2.3

Common sense was not used when making alterations to the executives file. In which you could also argue rule 2.1. My character responded immaturely for someone of his rank.

I didn't think so at the time, but hindsight had definitely given me a new perspective.

Going forward, I would think it's wise not to try to influence the role play nor the narrative using cheap and silly roleplay tactics and instead let the narrative form naturally through actual gameplay mechanics and rule abiding role-play.
