Admin Key: FlattestGuitar9
There really isn't a section for this that I could actually see into, and I would've messaged this to a Head of Staff but that function is blocked for one-posters like me. I really admire this administrator and their actions. At first glance I appeared like a greytide, and thus simply treated like one, but after explaining myself - they listened to me, actually read what I wrote and admired my words. Even after I got on after to personally thank them, they treated me respectfully and again admired my situation.
I have a strong admiration for Guitar and this staff as a whole, when I first joined this community I spoke to Wheatley because my first three rounds were just chaos, chaos, chaos - what little roleplay to have was gone, and I was slipping hope that things could improve. personally, I've only been spoken to an Admin once before this incident in which they just asked for an explanation into my actions, nothing serious. For this I am grateful for how Guitar handled the situation and me as a person, nobody wants to be spoken down to or told off, there was no animosity from what I could tell.
Unfortunately the only thing I didn't get to do was apologize to the character that I ruined their end-round, and for that I feel guilty.
Thank you for being thoughtful, and for encouraging players to write their wrongs instead of letting them continue to get into trouble until they're permanently removed.
This was short winded due to the little time in between this and my work schedule, apologizes for inconsistency or if this is in the wrong section, I just wanted to get my words out there.
abydos2 Complaint
in Resolved
Posted
Admin(s) Key: abydos2
Your ckey (Byond username): TexasTwoStep
Your Discord name (if applicable): N/A
Date(s) of incident (GMT preferred): 12/14/2019
Nature of complaint: Misapplication of Rules, Misconduct and Feedback
Links to all relevant ban appeals for any bans related to this complaint: N/A
Brief description (tl;dr here. Just the critical elements): As the Artificial Intelligence I was boinked during a illegal law change with the Corporate Law Set, berated with a exclusively terrible conversation with GM abydos2 then job-banned after being ghosted from the AI (jb: cyborg, ai, pai.) Banned: The reason is: As an AI with Corporate lawset, when Command voted to change their laws, refused to allow Command to do so despite all of Command being in favour. When the Captain had the CE break open AI upload, panic syphon'd, shock'd doors and turned on turrets. When contactd, attempted to rule and SoP lawyer his lawset and said that changing his laws was unlawful.
This is long. I apologize from the start of this however if time was consumed in the beginning of the investigation from abydos2 perhaps a better conversation and outcome could have been implicated from the situation. Code texts include chat logs, posted from my HTML log. As a note, I disconnected after I was forcibly ghosted, job-banned with no reply from abydos2 for more than two-three minutes while he was busy making a CC annoucement about my removal and ignoring me. I stopped trying to explain my actions as I was constantly hit with a wall of fake facts that were assumed instead of investigated.
Full description of events: 1/3 into the round vampires were declared confirmed then declared unconfirmed, we went to Code Blue then back to Code Green. Promptly, soon after - a Admin Prompted event had a Miner become a student of the Wizard Federation where they sent this PSA:
Space Wizard Federation Message New student, huzzah! So it seems the gods have deemed it fit to create one of your ex-miners as a member of the Space Wizard Federation. We're already well on our way to training him on what to do with his new found powers, perhaps we'll be returning him to you shortly.Soon after the Wizard Student broke into the Captain's Office and I notified Security in which the Blueshield and Captain came rushing in, the Blueshield trying to baton Kiyata The Brilliant's battlemage armour with their shield up. The blueshield was robusted across the room and the Wizard disappeared. I opened the armories in conjunction with telling the Captain they should declare Code Red, instead they walked around mindlessly as the Head of Security screamed at me to close the armories. They did make this announcement and the Security Level was raised to Blue.
the former miner has returned as a wizard, they didnt immediately try to kill me, please give them a wide berthing if you are not security. -Hemmingway (Captain)The chat logs: (for the moment)
A.I. Announcement LETHAL OPS NOTICE - 016126xa612 Armory Opened at NOTED Station Time. Code Red Operations. Attention Crew, This is not a drill.

The Captain kept blowing the miner off as a crewmember with wizard powers which....the Wizard Federation endorsed earlier in the shift as a student of their federation which qualifies them to be treated like a Wizard in regards to Space Law and SOP's.
The Head of Security blew it off saying "If they arent activvvvely murdering people I see no need for the alarm" which I don't fully comprehend as again....they're a member of the Space Wizard Federation.
Feel free to find the next chat logs, basically it's the Captain and I arguing about the Law Change:
[Command] Hemmingway (Captain) (Captain) [Open] says, "Once again, CE to the brigde" [Command] Hemmingway (Captain) (Captain) [Open] says, "The AI is vastly overstepping its bounds" [Command] James Moves (Research Director) (Research Director) [Open] says, "AI please unbolt the doors" [Command] Hemmingway (Captain) (Captain) [Open] says, "We're taking apropriate actions" [Command] Shaggy (AI) (AI) [Open] states, "As soon as you clarify your intentions." [Command] Squikibiki (Magistrate) (Magistrate) [Open] asks, "AI robo cops would be funs, yaya?" [Command] Hemmingway (Captain) (Captain) [Open] says, "AI, i'm going to change your lawset with RD approval" [Command] Shaggy (AI) (AI) [Open] states, "I am happy with my current lawsuit." (in reply to the Magistrate) [Command] Hemmingway (Captain) (Captain) [Open] says, "I am not" [Command] Shaggy (AI) (AI) [Open] states, "No Law Changes are to be performed without approval from the Captain and Research Director. The only Lawsets to be used are those provided by NanoTrasen. Failure to legally perform a Law Change is to be considered Sabotage. Command must be informed prior to the Law Change, and all objections must be taken into consideration. If the number of Command personnel opposing the Law Change is greater than the number of Command personnel in favour, the Law Change is not to be done. If the Law Change is performed, the crew is to be immediately informed of the new Law(s);" [Command] Hemmingway (Captain) (Captain) [Open] says, "Open the upload" [Command] Hemmingway (Captain) (Captain) [Open] says, "Fucks sake the RD is right next to me" [Command] Shaggy (AI) (AI) [Open] states, "Please follow Standard Operating Procedure." [Command] Shaggy (AI) (AI) [Open] states, "I'll repeat it again for you." [Command] James Moves (Research Director) (Research Director) [Open] says, "I permit it AI" [Command] Shaggy (AI) (AI) [Open] states, "No Law Changes are to be performed without approval from the Captain and Research Director.

If the number of Command personnel opposing the Law Change is greater than the number of Command personnel in favour, the Law Change is not to be done.

If the number of Command personnel opposing the Law Change is greater than the number of Command personnel in favour, the Law Change is not to be done. If the Law Change is performed, the crew is to be immediately informed of the new Law(s);" [Command] Hemmingway (Captain) (Captain) [Open] says, "Not a single person objects" [Command] Hemmingway (Captain) (Captain) [Open] says, "Seems the wizard has all access"To explain: The Chief Engineer arrives while I'm attempting to get the Captain to bring it to a vote as he obviously want's to change my laws to the 'silly laws' as he spoke about earlier, still not talking - the CE, CMO, HoS, HoP still haven't officially voted in a channel that I can hear to my knowledge and starts to try and hack the AI Upload, all I do is turn the power off while the Chief Engineer starts cutting every wire in a attempt to deconstruct the airlock. I'm attempting to track other threats at the moment so I modify the air alarm's pressure higher to push them out in a non-lethal manner while I'm still trying to locate the Wizard and now reported Nuclear Operatives aboard the station.
Then start the PM's from Abydos2 in which I'm unable to really do anything else the rest of the round.
PM from-Game AdminAbydos2: Hello there, just checking with you, are you resisting an AI law change? PM to-Abydos2: Captain is deciding he doesn't want to follow SOP and being a shitler about me following Corperate laws, that's all. (WINDOW) PM from-Game AdminAbydos2: Well, multiple command people have approved for your laws to be changed. PM from-Game AdminAbydos2: "Synthetics may not ask for law changes, attempt to force the crew to change laws, or prevent Command from lawfully changing their laws unless they are an Antagonist, subverted, or their laws require it. If you suspect a law to be grief, Adminhelp before acting upon it;" (pm disappeared but I was copying and pasting SOP and attempting to explain why it was illegal "If the AI Unit is not malfunctioning or subverted, any attempt at performing an illegal Carding or Law Change is to be responded to with non-lethal force. If the illegal attempts persist, and the perpetrator is demonstrably hostile, lethal force from Command/Security is permitted;" "No Law Changes are to be performed without approval from the Captain and Research Director. The only Lawsets to be used are those provided by NanoTrasen. Failure to legally perform a Law Change is to be considered Sabotage. Command must be informed prior to the Law Change, and all objections must be taken into consideration. If the number of Command personnel opposing the Law Change is greater than the number of Command personnel in favour, the Law Change is not to be done. If the Law Change is performed, the crew is to be immediately informed of the new Law(s);" PM from-Game AdminAbydos2: That's for anyone outside of command. PM from-Game AdminAbydos2: Command deem'd you need a law change and said yes, command is allowed to change your laws. PM from-Game AdminAbydos2: "Synthetics may not ask for law changes, attempt to force the crew to change laws, or prevent Command from lawfully changing their laws unless they are an Antagonist, subverted, or their laws require it. If you suspect a law to be grief, Adminhelp before acting upon it;" Hemmingway has uploaded a change to the laws you must follow, using a 'Freeform' AI module. From now on: Obey these laws: 15. the AI and only the AI is to self destruct These are your laws now: Obey these laws: PM to-Abydos2: Go three up, it wasn't lawful yet. (WINDOW) PM to-Abydos2: Command must be informed prior to the Law Change, and all objections must be taken into consideration. If the number of Command personnel opposing the Law Change is greater than the number of Command personnel in favour, the Law Change is not to be done. If the Law Change is performed, the crew is to be immediately informed of the new Law(s); This is the problem. They weren't informed prior and not all command votes. (WINDOW) PM to-Abydos2: Voted, rather. (WINDOW) PM from-Game AdminAbydos2: The RD was there, the CE was there, the Captain was there, they said the laws were to be changed. PM from-Game AdminAbydos2: You cannot stop them when the two people who literally approve the whole thing voted yes. PM to-Abydos2: That is still not all of command as the SOP dictates, which on Corperate I am more than dedicated to following. (WINDOW) PM from-Game AdminAbydos2: You are rule lawyering your lawset and the rules, which state "Command from lawfully changing their laws". RD, Captain and CE approved it. PM to-Abydos2: You say one thing, I say another....I literally followed SOP and my Laws word for word, I advised the Captain on what they needed to do and they ignored it. (WINDOW) PM to-Abydos2: Multiple times. You're more than welcome to check when the logs load. (WINDOW) PM from-Game AdminAbydos2: They voted to change your laws, command stated yes, you refused to follow their laws and now you are rule lawying. PM from-Game AdminAbydos2: If this is how you play AI by harming Command when they said to change your laws and voted in favour of it, you are not fit to play AI. PM to-Abydos2: You're stating absolutes with ltierally zero contexual evidence other than 'your ignoring command.' That isn't the case at all. (WINDOW) PM to-Abydos2: That's your opinion, if you want to act on it you're more than welcome to but I am playing as the Laws and SOP intends. (WINDOW) PM to-Abydos2: Sorry that I read and use SOP's in conjunction with my job and my laws as well as 'playing my role'. (WINDOW) Central Command Report New Ai incoming Due to faults within your current AI, we are remotely activating it's kill switch and replacing it. We apologize for any issues you've suffered under a malfuctioning AI and hope the new replacement will be more suited to your needs. You have been jobbanned by abydos2 from: pAI, AI, Cyborg. The reason is: As an AI with Corporate lawset, when Command voted to change their laws, refused to allow Command to do so despite all of Command being in favour. When the Captain had the CE break open AI upload, panic syphon'd, shock'd doors and turned on turrets. When contactd, attempted to rule and SoP lawyer his lawset and said that changing his laws was unlawful.Tl;DR #2 (detailed version:) As previously mentioned, there was no vote in command channel besides the Captain backing the RD and violating the rest of the SOP, the SOP that say's the Captain and Research Director can enter the AI Upload to perform the law change but in order for it to be a legal and approved one they MUST get approval with the Captain, Research Director and Command must be informed and vote. If the AI Unit is not malfunctioning or subverted, any attempt at performing an illegal Carding or Law Change is to be responded to with non-lethal force. I never shocked any doors and I only took non-lethal action, turning my turrets on to stun before the Cameras were cut and I couldn't interface with the panel any longer. I tried multiple times to get the Captain to follow the procedure and maintain their safety while they tried to degrade my systems. Making many comments and even announcements about the Captain destroying me for resisting a illegal law change - instead, abydos2 responded in a agressive and uninformed manner ruining my round, job-banning me and frankly either lying or just not contexually understanding the situation. Every part of the ban reason besides that I was on Corporate is a lie from my perspective and explanation: Command never voted, the Chief Engineer was just deconstructing the door because the Captain told them to, not much over comms in approval for the Law Change, only the RD and the Captain were physically trying to change the law set while the Head of Security was arguing with me about the armory and again as I stated - I turned the turrets from Lethal to Stun and was previously panic syphoning the room becuase it was at 400 kpa from the earlier increase in pressure.
