Description of the incident Where to begin? I don't want to wall-of-text this, so I'll really try not to, but holy shit. Allow me to set the stage:
It's two hours or so into Solaris. The marines are down to roughly 23 groundside marines in the FOB, though it's hard for me to be exactly sure. Xenos are down to I believe NINE at the time of the 'event' (I am going to call it a major event, because it dramatically altered the balance of the round and this fits the definition of a major event in the guidelines).
The CO had just come down, and as Grub always does, he goes helmetless, and decides to charge a ravager and gets instantly decapitated. Shocker. Marines, reasonably, pull his body back to the FOB and panic a bit and start to reorganize again.
Jarek declares this as the time that marines retreated and were going to cadehug. I believe logs will consistently show that marines were CONSTANTLY outside of the FOB and skirmishing in hospital grounds, and were not just hiding in the FOB. Jarek went so far as to say it was just one marine outside shooting. I know for a fact it was not, as we were outside in the hospital fighting when the magical T3 flank at telecomms hit.
In addition to this, the marines were making tactical plays to focus down the xenos siege caste, and I believe Jarek also used the excuse that the xenos lost their last boiler as the reason to spawn FIVE TIER THREE ALIENS.
The marines were actively punished for their efforts and for their struggles in a round that hadn't even reached the 'gold standard' of two hours and thirty minutes by the xenos being given five tier threes for free, without even a warning given to the marines that the xenos were getting a huge power boost arbitrarily.
My complaint at this point is all across the board, but I overall feel like this was an inappropriate use of admin abilities and is a textbook case of "I am dead, restart", as by his own admission, he stated that there were more people dead than alive, and he valued the fun of players, so he ruined the round to end it more quickly, and is misrepresenting the actual situation and dynamics of the round to help construct a scenario that appears more beneficial to his own defense for his actions. Just because a lot of people are dead at a certain hour mark does not entitle admins to launch an impromptu major event to directly cause one side to win, especially when it's before the generally accepted timeframe of 2:30 when a nuke should not be ever authorized.
For the record, I believe the xenos pushed in and won within ten minutes of the T3s being spawned.
Evidence Some of these statements are on Discord, the majority of it will require logs for clarification of actual numbers and combat taking place.
