What rule(s) were broken: Powergaming
Description of the incident: I was the Captain and spent the entire round in the CIC along with my XO, bar leaving for briefing and once at the very end of the round, and as far as I knew there were no SOs, only the XO and I. I didn't hear any radio chatter from an SO or see one whatsoever.
Towards the end of the round, I find out that Addfwyn Meer is, in fact, an SO, and had apparently deployed to unga and kill things without telling anyone, acting like a PFC but with a fancy icon and the ability to get more robust gear. I've obviously not got any issues with SOs deploying, but picking the SO role for no other reason than to be a PFC+, hardly communicating and not fulfilling any of the duties of the role while frontlining seems like something better left to the squad marine role.
It's worth noting here that this is pretty minor, all things considered, and I planned to ahelp it in round but it slipped my mind since I only realized that there /was/ an SO towards the very end of the round, and was busy trying to deal with xenos aboard.
Evidence (screenshots, logs, etc): This is the only communication between Meer and the CIC for the entire round as far as I am aware.
[08:36:37]ANNOUNCEMENT: Michael Braddock (noahkirchner) has announced the following: It looks like most of the marines have made their way back into the colony proper, and I'm seeing no signals in the western caves. If you're just waiting for somewhere to go, head to the west caves.
[08:36:46]SAY: Addfwyn Meer/Ceyella : West is clear
[08:36:49]SAY: Addfwyn Meer/Ceyella : I just came form there
[08:36:57]SAY: Michael Braddock/NoahKirchner : Wait, you deployed?
[08:37:03]SAY: Addfwyn Meer/Ceyella : Of course
[08:37:16]SAY: Addfwyn Meer/Ceyella : Already credited myself a few kills
[08:37:08]SAY: Michael Braddock/NoahKirchner : You.. didn't ask?
^There was no response after that. If I'm somehow missing logs here that prove I'm an idiot who knows nothing about anything I'd love to see them, but I'm pretty sure this is the only communication between Ceyella and the CIC throughout the entire round.
How you would punish the accused: Like I said earlier, I think this is rather minor, and it feels a bit silly making an entire player report about it, just a light warning would make sense imo.
