Ban Appeal
Byond ID? DEADmetal03
Character Name? Travis Pointdexter
Type of Ban? Job/Role Ban
If jobban, which job are you appealing? Xenomorph
Admin who banned you (if known) Sakuyoi
Total Ban Duration Indefinite
Remaining Duration Indefinite
What other servers do you play on? Only CM.
Are you now or have you been banned on any servers? Which ones? I have a job ban on Paradise Station. I've received it when I was new and decided to spice up the game by soft griefing. I thought it's not against the rules.
I also have a marine job ban on CM server for ghosting in random locations (lockers, dark and remote locations on the station). I didn't knew that I was supposed to ghost only in cryopods.
Reason for Ban Not following queens order which apparently was for young xenos to not push outside of the caves (LV-624) and dying two times as a young and mature runner.
Link to previous appeals for the same ban (if applicable): -
Your appeal, including evidence (screenshots, etc) I have no chat logs or screenshots as I've logged off just after dying as runner for the second time. For the same reason, I couldn't have been contacted by admin. So I'll describe what happened in that round from my perspective in respect of what is important regarding this application.
I wasted no time and proceeded my usual routine - smashing barriers, opening doors and breaking windows, to make the map more xeno friendly. When marines landed, I backed off and started to gank them mainly from the north side of the river. I've attacked several marines successfully, placed in some fractures, and killed one of them. I was also stalking them between the landing zones and there I saved an ancient runner (107) from a sure death, by dragging them a long way to safety and on the weeds, and guarding them until they started recovering. They said I was their hero. I'm sure they could testify for that.
I would evaluate the first half of my gameplay in that round as quite effective, considerate and careful. However, it started to go downhill when I decided to attack a lone marine with flamethrower. I noticed that they are a good player, yet still I pressed on with my attempts to knock them down. Eventually they managed to set me on fire. I ran, but they chased me down while I was still on fire and killed me. My runner gameplay was far less careful, so I died two more times as a result. In the meantime I've missed the queens order. As far as I remember, admin reported that the queen reported me more than once. However, I didn't get any messages from admins. I don't remember if I had logged off between my deaths. I'm inclined to think I didn't.
My poor performance and not noticing queens order had a lot to do with how tired I was. I shouldn't have actually started that round, as I needed to get some sleep bad.
The next day I have contacted the admin who banned me and they have told me that one of the important factors in this decision was my poor xeno notes from May. Turns out they have also played as xeno in this round and they have felt that the queen was too controlling (I will ask them to comment on it in this thread). Also, in my opinion, if this queen can be considered as too controlling, then the queen from the round in which I received my previous (24 hour) ban back in May, was extensively and needlessly controlling, and perhaps even targeting me personally. She was ordering me to evolve from Ancient Lurker into Ravager. I do think it's an important detail as again, it was a factor in this case.
Here's the link to my appeal for the old case:

I'm not denying my fault however. I would have followed queens orders if I saw them, so it was my fault for missing them. I realize how wasteful dying three times in one round is. However, I do consider myself an effective xeno player and even decent players have their bad rounds, right?
