Why should you be unbanned?
my ban was entirely unjust and uncalled for, especially for the third-time-in-a-row log-only evidence report that tells no story and has no context. i can once again prove my innocence and that i follow the rules with this demo (the game mentioned in the report that i was banned for): https://www.dropbox.com/s/2chhe2uumejkc8f/2023-03-31_20-09-04.dem?dl=0 alongside any further demos that may be needed.

as it currently stands, "zmaining" is not against the rules in any form and does not serve as a legitimate reason for punishment. my previous appeal has already proven this and sparked the addition of the specific clause in the rulebook.

it also honestly just looks really silly to ban the girl who keeps getting autoinfected, for being autoinfected like wtf :B

I've already told you.
It comes down to the situation. Zmaining is not allowed, but you kept wanting to play only as a zombie.
It ruins the fun for other players and goes under "griefing," which is not okay.
It's not the logs, but this time I saw you switching to zombie

Your previous appeal was pardoned to give you a chance to follow the rules, not because you were right. Zmaining is not allowed - period. If you keep doing it, your next ban will be much, much longer.

im sorry stanley but you havent really communicated with me directly.. barely ever? the most direct communication weve had was your recommendation to make a ban appeal yesterday, and i followed that to a pretty resounding success.

zmaining not being allowed is also not written in the rulebook or anywhere easily accessible, and i cant really be expected to follow rules that dont exist.

It was made clear to you already that Zmaining is not allowed. Not in any form, not with any strategy. The example in the rules is just one example. We can't list every situation.

i think its a more than fair assumption that the clause listing "Dying on purpose in Zombie Escape after autoinfection ends" was added due to discussion sparked over my case, and that if zmaining was indeed against the rules, then a rule specifying this would have been written instead of what we were given. why would that clause be added, and not "do not zmain"?

We talked about this in private chat, and you've been unbanned.
As long as it's not inflating numbers in the beginning, then it's fine.
