Which of the following are you reporting? 3. Enforcement Action Taken
Description of the incident So I understand the ruling regarding the OB is that we do not fire it after the dropship departs the hangar.
I am unsure exactly if the OB was fired was right after Alamo took off as prior to firing, I had checked the CIC bubble to ensure the launch command wasn't inputted and before heading to the OW to hit the fire button I checked the Alamo cams to ensure it was still in the Hangar. I don't blame him for that as all the launch delay, the OB firing delay and the fact I had to walk to OW consoles to fire the OB means that I could have missed the shuttle launch command as I am no longer next to the shuttle controls in CIC
and have no idea it was launching despite the Cameras showing it was in Hangar. Not to mention none of the marines called out the telltale engine start up sound effect so I had no idea it was launching as I hit Fire.
Regardless I feel that Tsunamico might have just have just been doing his job and this might have been a misunderstanding
However I feel that his behavior was quite unfair as before noting me he first tried to note me for meta gaming because apparently firing OBs after the Operation was called off according to him is Metagaming. Which I would like to question because multiple admins have not had issues regarding this.
The first thing he told me regarding the incident was that I was metagaming. Which apparently firing OBs after Evac and calling off the Operation is considered Meta-Gaming? I will even quote his words that 'You know as an XO how EXPEEEENSIVE OBs are and wouldn't waste it for exactly n o t h i n g on the landing pad, as you had no clue the xenos were there.' I checked and there's no rule clarifications against OBing the FOB while the ds is in the hangar/immediately after evac.
Most of the discussion was regarding if I was Meta Gaming or not which finally ended with him noting me for firing after the DS left which feels really dubious.
Maybe it's because I got noted but I feel like he was just trying to find a reason to nail me. Which I can somewhat understand is partially my own fault. Because I gave him a reason to.
I probably would have grudgingly accepted him noting me about the DS leaving if I had been told that was the reason immediately and just go on to curse my bad luck for the bad coincidences. Because I did make an effort to check before I fired the OB and if I had seen the Alamo in flight I wouldn't have bothered.
