Description of the incident The incident occurred across the span of the round.
Prior to roundstart, ito had delayed the round for what I’d presumed was preparations for their upcoming event. Through OOC he asked players to ahelp for spots as event characters. Ito stated that they would reply to ahelps with a “yes” had we been given the event role. I had ahelped gibberish as I was interested. I waited for a short while and did not receive a reply, so I readied up to spawn in as a shipside role instead. A few seconds prior to roundstart, ito did eventually respond to my ahelp, however I had just spawned in as the Liaison. Interested in RPing as the Liaison in the event, I replied stating they could give my role to someone else who requested. I hadn’t received any further response after this, so I presumed everything was sorted.
Events transpired shipside that made me invested in the role. Around 40 minutes into the operation, ito had pulled me from my character and inserted me into one of the event roles (later in dchat I had learned he did this to other players as well), in the middle of and interrupting RP between myself and other players in my office. Annoyed, I had OOCed to be returned to my body, then ahelped to do the same. I cannot remember the exact reply ito gave to me word-for-word, but it was something along the lines of “You could either continue playing as the CLF event role or ghost, I do not have time to deal with your request.” Bear in mind, the shipside players at this point have yet to come into contact with CLF; everything by this point still seemed to be preparatory for the CLF-based “MRP” event. I’d also like to note my CL character was left in my office rather than what I’d assume to be the bare minimum after doing something of this nature and cryoing/deleting it.
I’ve been told both by former and current members of staff that the ability to move a player from character to character is very simple and only takes a few seconds. I understand that ito was operating the event solo, so there was already a considerable amount of focus needed for them to make sure their MRP event runs smoothly, but to reiterate:
Returning me to my body is quick, and the event was still in preparation.
I’m robbed from an event round I was actually enjoying and was actively participating in because ito deemed it too time consuming to repeat some admin command they had used not a minute prior. I’d have expected better treatment regarding such from someone who has spent so long in staff, oversees mentors, and trains staff.
I should also add, since this is somewhat within the scope of the incident, that ito felt my desire to play as the Liaison instead of playing one of their event characters was me “getting clever"” which was (for a lack of better words) weird. I never acted with malicious intent against the event or its progression when I decided to not play an event role.
