[APPEAL] https://epicmafia.com/report/148027 I received a vio for gamethrowing, when that was not my intent at all. I only claimed cop bc no one else had (5:17, 5:43), and we were under the impression maf was gunned. Claiming cop as blue and getting shot would be pro-town. And then when Swag cced finally (8:32), I unvoted him. I was then attempting to role-swap with him to protect him, even though at that point I still had a slight doubt about whether he was maf and real cop wasn't claiming. He had even townread me and said so after we were cop ccs, so I thought he might pick up on what I was trying to do. I asked him to retract cop several times, trying to communicate a RS. As soon as he voted me, I realized he was serious and didn't understand what I was trying to do. I retracted, asking him to unvote but he would not (12:19, 12:20, 12:24). He voted me which split the votes between 3 people, so there was no way for me to vote to force a nl or get anyone else lynched. After the game ended, I explained to him what I was trying to do with the rs, but he wasn't hearing it.

For additional context that made it difficult for me to know what swag was doing, he had been saying inappropriate things (3:55, 4:47) and OGI (6:10, 6:17, 6:19) in the game. And although this didn't affect my play, in GY swag called me retarded.

Finally, in the vio, Nicole writes that I should know better than to claim cop as blue. This is a strategy I've used in the past and I will use again in the future, unless there is a specific rule written against it. If this violation is sustained, then it seems like I shouldn't even continue to play here at all. If it makes any difference in considering my actions in this or other games, I most likely have Asperger's disorder and definitely process things differently than others; some things I'm really good at understanding, but some things I really have difficulty with, no matter how experienced I am at the game and the site. I am not trying to use this as an excuse, I would just really like to be understood.

Oh, and I really wanted to appeal this right away, but couldn't view the game due to my suspension. I wonder if there's a way to change that so people are able to view past games (or play unranked games) even when they are suspended.

Thank you for considering my perspective. I know you volunteer your time and effort, and that it isn't great fun to review and decide all the reports that are made.
