Description of the incident: Preface : Alright. I'm making this report on Ahana for their behaviour on a round a few days ago. I understand that this took place more than 48 hours ago, but given that their was already a report up (against me) about it, I didn't want their to be 2 reports up that would confuse staff. I did plan to make this report after the round, but was simply beat to it (you can even see in the discord LRC that I was planning to). This is also not a "salty counter report", while I do personally believe that Ahana's report was in bad faith against me and an utter waste of staff time, I am not making this report just to get back at them but rather to have everything on the table to ensure that my own grievences with them are atleast handled officially and not forgotten about so this can happen again.
Onto the report itself.
Ahana, while playing as XO broke the roleplay expectations of high ranking officers who are enforced to follow orders at all times. Just as an SL cannot run off and rambo without following his squads orders, an XO is not allowed to run off from their duties to engage in whatever they want.
Ahana's whole reason for this activity was "The CO is not giving CIC any autonomy". In their case this meant I was not allowing the XO to give squads orders, the reason for this is very simple, I am the CO and I am in charge of the marines. The XO had plenty of responsibility to do shipside, departments needed to be madesure they were running, logistics handled, overwatch, OB loading and firing, doing callouts, announcing tacmaps and reinforcing my own orders etc etc. After arguing with me for a good while on comms about me not letting them be in charge, they decided to mess with my round by recalling me to the ship. Their whole "IC reason" for being mad at me is completely bunk and shows a foul misunderstanding of how rank structure and RP works on CM, the CO is in charge of the marines whether they deploy or stay in CIC, the XO is subordinate to them, end of story.
Ahana forced me to undeploy groundside and return to the Almayer, which I did as fast as I could, when I reach CIC I ordered Ahana to stay in CIC and man an overwatch station. Instead Ahana left CIC against orders, and was reported to be organizing a mutiny against me. This mutiny I believe was both unauthorized by staff and a complete rejection of the RP guidelines expected of a role such as XO. I ordered them several times to return to CIC, they refused, it was not an accidental mishearing, they purposely forced me to come man CIC so they could abandon their own duties they signed up for when they rolled XO.
I did tell them to cryo, this may have come off as rude or mean, but I was under the impression that they didn't want to play XO under my leadership anymore (which is fine, you dont have to), and so asked them to go cryo so someone else could take the role as at that point they are just wasting it. Considering they were acting basically insubordinate and undermining me with announcements all round I think I was well within my rights to tell them to either "do their job or go cryo". I was particually angry when I found out they still wanted to stay on round as XO, and so they effectively messed with my round by forcing me from groundside for no good reason, knowing that they could do so by exploiting the rule on CO-XO deployment.
At the very end of the round, while Ahana was hiding shipside, someone ran up to me and grief OD'd me with injectors and I died, I did ahelp this but it was right before the round ended and dont think it got seen.
I believe they exploited the WL guidelines on CO deployment to get me removed from groundside, in an extremely bad faith manner. They did not need me in CIC to help them man CIC, they had the experience to do it and were fine with running CIC without me for the majority of the round.
While not my place to decide I do believe Ahana should face a full ban of leadership roles as they have proven they are incapable of understanding the very nature of playing as an officer, that being that you have to follow orders. They should not be taking important slots from more deserving players when they use it to act in bad faith, break guidelines and abuse privileges to mess with other players enjoyment of the game.
Evidence (screenshots, logs, etc): Alot of the evidence, and I assume the logs that were already gathered were from this report : //showthrea...COC-2-Roleplay
Hopefully staff don't have to waste time pulling logs again and they got saved somewhere.
If anyone needs it, I do have a FULL recording of my side of the round, but I would need to edit it down as their are alot of times I was alt tabbing to check social media.
Do you understand that staff make the final decision in the resolution of this report? Yes
