Character name: Hunter Deadshift
Type of Ban: Server Ban
Date of Ban and Duration: 2026-01-28
Reason for Ban: "Appeal-only ban for EORG and Rule 12 violation. Detonated several explosives at Trade Mall injuring several other players at the end of round #5065 as the janitor."
Your side of the story: I am fully genuinely at fault here, I'm still new to all this and I had forgotten the rule of EORG-ing, I was weirdly under the impression that doing stupid stuff at the very end of rounds was alright, as I thought I had seen this done in prior rounds without issue, though I am sure I was either misremembering and/or misinterpreting that. For more context for what happened exactly; I was in possession of multiple explosives as someone had left them behind in the Trade Mall earlier, and like previous contraband I was going to turn them in to the NFSD or my higher-ups, but I had the really stupid thought of causing a little bit of chaos at the end of the round, as I thought it was an alright thing to do given what I had incorrectly gathered from playing previous rounds. At the end of the round in the mall, I threw a pipe bomb right around when the End-of-Round Statistics window popped up, I think I had also used another bomb as well but I'm not remembering it well. Several of the Wawas, some other players, and I all got hit by the explosives, and initially I was jokingly mad because I couldn't use the other bombs I had still, but after people started yelling and discussing in the chat about it, I quickly realized that I had done something really fucking dumb. I wish so badly I just owned up to it then and there in the chat, but my stupid fucking anxiety got the better of me and I logged off for the night. I spent the night after that worrying about this whole thing and I'm genuinely extremely sorry for my lapse in judgement of the situation.
Why you think you should be unbanned/have ban reduced: I've been growing to really love playing in this server, I love the interactions I've had and so many of yall are genuinely so cool!! I haven't had the ability to roleplay in a long time due to personal stuff and life, and getting to play here re-ignited my love for playing a character and experiencing things and connections through that. I've read over the rules on the Wiki more closely now, going over it again as I'm typing this appeal, and I promise I'll try everything in my power to keep it all more in mind in the future, as well as be more keen to ask if a specific action would be okay rather than just go off what I thought the vibe was.
Extra Notes: Again, I can't emphasize enough how sorry I am for this incident, I'm willing to do anything to rectify those who got hurt by it, whether it be helping in specific stuff and/or tasks, payment from my in-game balance, or anything else that comes to mind! I don't want this stupid mistake to ruin my chance to connect with people here, and I hope yall understand that !
Please take all the time you need to get to this appeal, I'm sorry for sounding like a broken record but I am again really sorry for all this
