I wish to thank ThesoliderLLJK for reopening the case even when IRL matters made the hasty decision making. Now onto my thoughts and views of the situation..Spoiler:
@ Call me ArtySpoiler:
Defense appealSpoiler:
This was my first time having you as my TC. Any other TC can admit and credibly describe my actions on how I play as a TC. At the beginning of each round, I hide in my locker waiting for my TC to open the locker, then promptly ask them whether or not they are driving or shooting (I hide in my locker to check player manifest and general mentality of the player I'm rolling with since TCs have to be in sync, otherwise problems would arise). Which I did for you, but without the added locker part since you never checked my room.
Let me start off with, just because I was running with a paper hat doesn't mean I'm LRPing, my appearance shouldn't be the base of all my actions. I always change my outfits, and this round I decided to blend in with the standard marines, since I had a bad feeling about this round, due to your lack of response of me hollering on command channel for a response. Which you gave me "I was changing my frequencies" (even though you had the same frequencies from round start enabled).
When I said just drive, I was referring to the shutters on the med bay area, since it seemed as though you were unaware that you can destroy the shutters with the tank. Although previously, you're movement of the tank questioned me whether or not you knew how to drive, and the whole crashing into the wall part kinda reassured me as too (that one person that claims that they know what they're doing but seriously doesn't attitude). Why would you drive into sec when med bay and cargo area are the two confirmed ways of traversing the area?.
If you are unaware of the tanks load out and capabilities (which you stated multiple times in this report, and general observations dictates as such), its best to rely on the person that chose said load out for the best result. If I state fire, even though I'm aware that the blast is near our zone of range, and still state to fire said weapon onto the enemy, knowing full well of my causality; why would I state to fire such weapon and why would I undermine you if you didn't fire said weapon? You even hesitated to fire your secondary weapon, when I clearly asked for the secondary weapon to be fired (I had to LOOC infront of the xenos, which gives them insight of the player, on using the middle click for the secondary weapon. Stating that there was friendlies nearby, even though they were dead on the other side of ETA lab pod lock hallway, which the blast couldn't of reach the alive wounded / medical personnel behind of us.
We defend the retreat of countless marines, ordered by the CO in between the secure tool storage and cargo area. The only reason I ran over anyone was our armor was at literal 0%.. Once we repaired, we head back through cargo area, pass the store, pass med bay, then stopped in front of cargo area with two accompany charlie marines, to verify if anyone else made it. I even pushed as close to engineering to verify if anyone was salvageable. Then the two charlie marines got ganked by two runners which then I ran over them to protect them from damage, and requested the fire of grenades on our position.
I never received said grenades, so then I proceeded to run over 7 xenos under our tank, which downed them all, promptly calling the rest of the hive to come in efforts to help them all, even though I was requesting you to "FIRE THE GRENADES" which you haven't fired a single one. Thus your statement of me spinning erratically, any other time I stop the tank, and provide tracking of the firing arc of my TC to maintain a proper kill; if the situation requires me to ram to neutralize the subject rather then risking the firing of the main weapon, I would have to decide under the conditions that I am in.
Then I proceeded to move back and start calling you out on your incompetence, "the whole quit life" is referring to how we were surrounded from front to back and you decided to stop firing the main weapon. So I proceeded to back us into med bay walls to save us, which it did.
I can even mention that one xeno saw this and posted in "LOOC: I think today I will suck" as a direct insult on the TC gunners abilities to properly secure a kill. The C4 was to blow open a hole in the wall, we were stuck in between the wall and the body sleeper in med bay (which we used the body sleeper to get out of being stuck in the wall). The battlefield execution is unrelated and was actually role played to the max, since the CO practically played Russian roulette with my battlefield execution and my crimes were in a sense applicable.
Defendants opinions and views of: Call me Arty
Spoiler:Majority of this report seems to be about a new players thoughts and opinions of a role that they were not familiarly in, and seems biased about the defendants every action or usage of said actions.
Ranging from the use of certain words and or phrases (since they have to take in account that its impossible to convey emotions, tone, pitch, and clarity of words through text), their general appearance, and the execution of the defendant. Even though the incident wasn't remotely referencing the tank role itself.
Even commenting "Oh they got executed for a cat but not for the loss of a multi million dollar tank" (the CO was telling me to pet Jones and to call it a pretty kitty, so I promptly took the cat and toss him into the trash chute, which Jones survived by a MT and was battlefield executed via Russian Roulette; added note, the CO told me to take it easy on you when I arrived in the CIC even after I commented about your performance)

A TC is like your weapon or the person that wields such weapon. If they are out of sync, then not one, but two people are having to deal with the issues for the one. The XO is correct in his statement as too why I directly undermined my TC.

Like you stated previously, you're not a character witness, nor were you involved as the othe TC for that round or this round mentioning your eye witness testimony, but since the reopening of the case. I wish to add your opinion into my case. Yes I stated "I'm tired of this meta shit" in LOOC, then picked a flamer and grenades. Picking a weapon load out, in my opinion should be subject to the gunner using it. If other people complains about a decision made as what may appear to be as "a shit load out" then it is their decision to do so. If not their decision, then why add such a choice to begin with? I chose those weapons because I knew how xenos are, and how much they hate the flamer, so to make a long game happen, I decided to cripple myself to give a fair advantage (since majority of new comer mentality doesn't realize that your facing another player base, and after the countless amount of times of "Xenos Mad" or the meta rushes involved. I wouldn't be surprised if I was hated for such decision. Although it was a dumb decision to pick that load out prison, I took it anyways from extra fun~
The time that I got arrested was the time that (SolidFury7 playing as the CMP) for insulting the CMP and refusing to say sorry (they were willing to let me go, but I chose not to for RP sake since the round was Trijent damn and having no tank available for the first few minutes should spice things up), so I promptly told the TC to do whatever for 30 minutes. If anyone was curious as to if I ruined the TCs round, there was a active synth on board the ship and the use of the tank can range of a lot of things without the need for it be fully manned

I have no idea who this individual is, or the relation to the CM community as a whole (they do not have any references as too who they are besides my old discord photo).
@ MaximusRexSpoiler:
Defense appealSpoiler:Your whole character witness statement isn't about the round itself (more or less seems like a personal attack as too how I operate and play this game) but other rounds you noted my actions on doing. Even though you've only accounted for the times that I have either messed up or have been unsuccessful. You have not accounted the multiple occasions with multiple other TCs of succeeding and or preventing captures of the enemy and their advancements through the same tactics I've been using, ever since the tank was first introduced.
I deliberately run people over, if A: They block the pathway and think that a puny small arms can compare to that of a heavy ordinance weapon. B: They just block the way C: For the tank to block the way (since xenos can't move the tank whatsoever, and a dead or dying tank blocking the only passageway seems like a good use of it). Besides that, I cannot recall ever seeing you play TC, and too compare the reliance of the other TCs capabilities too another without even having them as a TC to begin with seems kinda biased don't you think?
Defendants opinions and views of: MaximusRexSpoiler:As stated in the Defense appeal section, I do not recall seeing them as a TC, and if ever they were TC during one of my rounds as TC, I would think that their opinions of me would differ to that of the common observer~
@ ThesoldierLLJKSpoiler:
Defense appealSpoiler:Really cannot use something that wasn't in round, and out of context as that to be evidence. If anyone checks the main logs of said round for that chat log, and the reason as to why my responses seemed so chillaxed is that the logs used as evidence is out of context. Bob was goofing off with me in the tank and told me to run him over during first drop, so i proceed to do so.. multiple times, and told the moderator that saw the situation about it.
Resolution: Besides the new players observations of one round, the other testimonies (in my opinion), seems inadequate to be considered as non bias evidence. Come on, its not a witch hunt here~
