Reason for Ban Frontlining as Researcher
Link to previous appeals for the same ban (if applicable): -
Your appeal, including evidence (screenshots, etc) Context to the ban:
I was one of two researchers on LV. We had extremely lucky RNG and created a stim better than the T3 Techweb. We rushed it out the door, gave dozens of stims for Req to drop onto Hydro/FOB, and Command announced their arrival.
However, marines were still losing and I had the suspicion they were not taking the stims. I deployed to FOB with a reagent pouch, stimming 80-90% of the marines I saw on my way. I arrived to Hydro and stims were untouched. Marines were still losing against Xenos in the caves.
Faced with this, I went to the caves and stimmed as many marines as I could. 100% were unstimmed and I was confident the chem was a game-changer. I exhausted 600u+ of into marines, before returning to Almayer, restocking, and returning to caves again.
However the frontline had changed even though I was keeping a close eye on comms and Command announcements. I went into the same place in caves as last time, Queen screeched, the frontline utterly collapsed, and I died with it.
Moments later I was PM'd. Long story short, 3 hour + shipside job ban for frontlining and for being argumentative.
I don't blame the mod - I had a "heavy warning" for frontlining as doctor the previous week. However:
1. I didn't even know I got warned/noted the previous week, this was before the first Discord rule clarification on deploying doctors - which explicitly allowed doctors to deploy provided you were offscreen from Xenos and not being a combat medic. I was offscreen from Xenos and not being a combat medic; The warning even says as much when it writes I was "nearly Queen screeched" whilst performing surgery.
2. I was heavily warned for a rule which didn't even exist at the time.
As for this researcher incident, I'm now aware I was breaking the rules, and I admit that I screwed up by walking into caves as a Researcher. To my regret I got carried away in the heat of the moment when I ran into caves to inject marines.
In the future I'll always stick to LZ FOB and shipside only. If marines are not taking stims it isn't my role to run to frontline to inject them. My sincere apologies to any immersion breaking LRP my behavior has caused, and I promise it won't happen again in the future should you give me the chance.
I enjoy shipside roles very much - especially Doctor, Researcher, and CT. The shipside role ban neuters nearly all the roles I enjoy playing in CM.
Thanks for taking the time to read this far, and sorry again for my frontlining behavior.
