I'll have to agree--you do deserve some punishment for attempting to do-si-do around the administration, regardless of intent. (If you love-tapped an opposing robot in the loading zone last year so the human player could actually get a tetra on it, you would still get a near-guaranteed loss a thirty-point penalty.)

Is seven days a little steep? Going solely by the yardstick you laid out, I'd be inclined to agree. If you work within the system and try to explain yourself and beg forgiveness, you might get lucky and have a day or three lopped off. No consolation when it comes to prom, I know, but it is if nothing else good practice for the other times you'll have to negotiate from the weaker position in life. Good luck.

(Was I the only person in the world who thought prom was overrated?)
