Which Staff Protocols (//showthrea...-and-Protocols) were broken Preserve the RP and enjoyment of the server
- If a player breaks a rule, but increases the enjoyment of the server in general, (through roleplay or other such things) it can be overlooked. If no one admin helps (ahelp) a complaint, or seems to be complaining or taking issue with it, it may be best to let it go.
- We're a server focused on the enjoyment of the players. As long as the players are having a blast and not every single rule is being broken, it's okay to let some things slide here and there.
- Do not try to heavily influence the game unless it is for very good reasoning such as for an event, a player purposefully holding up the game, dishing out punishment for rule breaking (Examples: a commander killed a marine unjustly, a squad of marines are killing other marines for no reason, a queen is slashing every host known to man, aliens have stacked too many huggers) or other such things.
Description of the incident The round was nearing 4 hours and we were almost at defcon 1, like .5% away. Was in hydro wearing a partial uniform standing around as the queen was nearing, I was the only person there as we had just got the nuke so everyone went back to lz2. I was on the m56d shooting towards the queen. Starmute messaged me to say my partial uniform was LRP and warranted a ban. I told them that I thought this was an IC issue as things like this always were. No uniform in req line, MP is called, or you get insub from the SO. Starmute disagreed and said that my partial uniform was not an IC issue but was LRP.
Evidence Moderator PM from Starmute:
Uniform Regulations
USCM and USCM-affiliated personnel are required to be wearing appropriate clothing during operations. Deploying marines and MPs should be wearing their uniform, boots, and armor at a minimum. Other crew must wear their uniform and assigned footwear. Headwear, if any is worn, must be your properly assigned headgear or one of the standard issue USCM headgear.
Moderator PM from Starmute:
I'm stating this is LRP. If you have a issue with it take it up with a manager on discord or on the forums.
You have been banned by starmute.
Reason: Ran around nude as a marine. LRP .
How you would punish the accused I'm not sure, this incident is weird. I'd talk to them and ask them their reasoning. It was a long round and everyone was pretty salty. I mean I don't think I was affecting anyone doing this, because the round was basically over, as the nuke timer was ticking down. I do kinda feel like I was punished for shooting at the queen by myself while on the m56d, instead of letting her plow through to lz2 where the nuke and marines were.
Aside from that though.
Clarification for the playerbase and staff. I also posted this in the Rule Clarification 2019 thread because wearing an incomplete uniform without helmets, or gloves, shoes, incorrect armor, spec armor, specs trading armor, smocks, packs, theft of SG gear, and more, and I mean most of the playerbase does these things.
Is wearing part of a uniform considered LRP?
Is wearing part of a uniform no longer considered IC for MP escalation, as well as Insub from the SO?
Can marines collect uniform, armor, and equipment from the planet, or is that also LRP now?
I think we should clarify these rules for the old and new players alike, and also the staff for the year 2019, since over time rules and interpretations of rules change.
