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.
Enforcement of the rules
- Ensure that all incidents are adequately investigated before giving a ruling.
Description of the incident OK so I am a marine so this comes from a mainly marine focused perspective.
We drop with orders to FOB up Hydro Road as our CPT wants us to do a mega FOB of some sort. OK cool; so most of us drop, go to Nexus, go North... and face a wall. Turns out, RNG isn't on the CPT's side, as Hydro Road is gone and the only way to Hydro is via West Nexus. We decide to hence go to Hydro through the Gym.
This is when we spot our first xenos. The xenos decided to weed Gym and impede our access to Hydro by spamming resin doors and walls all over Hydro and parts of Gym. OK cool; I find the fireaxe on the map and use it to bash away walls... and meet a Drone.
Said drone runs away and goes north... to the similarily resin doored and walled Bridge.
So RNG made Hydro Road disappear but in return we got a non-fogged Bridge.
Marines start to stack up with elements of each squad at Hydro and we start shooting down and bashing all the resin structures down while dealing with a Crusher and a rail gun boiler.
Once all of it is clear, we have to face a normal AND railgun boiler, but nothing much else. The xenos offer very weak resistance (usually they have a good amount of T3's guarding bridge but this time it was just a Warrior, boilers, and a few other T2-T1 mixture).
This is the xeno's first mistake, which lets us CAS and push in with only 10-15 marines past the bridge due to lack of T3 resistance.
The second mistake the xenos make is that they retreat without fighting back; they let us have Containers with minimal resistance, and only some small fighting at Caves west of containers, which lets us get past TWO MAJOR CHOKE POINTS.
This is when Grimreaper decides to MOOC that we are "metarushing". When this doesn't stop us and we're at Central caves pushing West caves, he decides to do a stupid announcement of a "cave in"; I suspect if we didn't retreat then he'd literally wall off the marines with permanent walls.
This is not OK. Nothing marines did was a meta rush; it was organic gameplay. Admins should NOT be stepping in and meddling with the round just because one side sucks and the other doesn't. Marines were on point and xenos were not. They sacrificed one of their boilers to be a rail gun which meant they only had 1 decent boiler providing cloud cover, and they didn't have enough T3's dedicating effort to blocking off choke points. It wasn't "meta"rush at all as xenos had been in contact with us the entire round and lead us directly to West caves due to their constant retreats and passive behavior.
Its also not "meta"rush as we know what xenos are capable of; and we know they have hives and that they grow stronger over time. And actual xenos led us directly to their hive with little resistance. So the logical conclusion is that we should push while they are still weak.
TL;DR just cause xenos mad and bad that round doesn't give an admin the right to step in and adjust the round to favor the losing side; thats the Developers job.
Evidence Logs can be pulled.
How you would punish the accused Idk
