Noting / Banning Admin: naosuko
Length of ban: Permanent
Ban reason: As Captain, announced they were hiring a BSO, then four seconds later decided to hire their Traitor metafriend the_number as a Blueshield Officer with borderline AA while a Blueshield Officer was already present. Did not mindshield before giving AA.
Ban issue: I did not do what I was banned/noted for.
Events leading to the ban
I did announce that I was hiring a BSO. I only noticed that BSO had arrived only after I sent the announcement. I was like “okay fuck it I’m still hiring!”.
Nobody responded until the clown started screaming “hire meee yes hire me!!!”
I was thinking sure why not and hired him. Did everything that I announced I would do. I later told him to go grab a mindshield from security, which he did do, but I guess they were out.
After 15 minutes I get banned for metacommunications because APPARENTLY the clown was a Traitor, and by the words of the admin I somehow knew that and still decided to roll with it.
Reason the ban should be removed
Because there was no metacommunication at all?
I hired the first person who responded to the announcement. If it was an assistant or anyone else I would have done the same thing, it just so happened to be the “Traitor Clown” as naosuko stated in his ban note.
This example could be repeated for 2 more people.
I made the first bartender who said something funny the acting HoP because we didn’t have one.
And I made a random assistant who walked into bridge in full sec gear a security officer because why the hell not, it suits him well.
But somehow said example could not be applied after hiring a random clown to be the second BSO after announcing it and hearing him scream in the radio “me me hire me!”. Apparently this one is Metacommunication, Metafriending and Metagaming with all the Meta combined.
