Dunno if my opinion matters that much since I am just a Regular, but I can vouch for his sincerity as a member of the community. Clearly, he has held the server in high regard until now and has shown his full intention to become a supporter by applying for Trusted a few days prior. Though he does not have the necessary qualifications for the rank as of yet, his application was genuine and showed he cares at least a little about the community. Through the many experiences I have had with him, he has followed the rules and been a very good player, having little to no gags or mutes(while I was playing with him at least), and following TTT rules to a T. Based on my experience with him as a player and his coherent and cohesive story he has told both here and on his prior staff application, I think it is clear this was a genuine lapse in judgment that came from his assumption of being T. Clearly he should be punished for ruining the round for so many people, but I don't think a Permaban is correct. Slays + a longer wait period on staff application should be more than enough for him to get back into the groove and regain his position on the server because banning him would be losing another genuine player on the server.
