a. Contact anyone involved and get their side of the story. Also, check logs. It may not be immediately visible WHO caused the situation, and you may need to talk to several people to figure it out. Try to do this as quickly and efficiently.
Description of the incident During an LV-624 round, I decided to do something different. I asked the permission of Fitchace before I set out, and he gave me the go-ahead: to play as Captain Bill Carson. I wanted to know what it was like to be in the shoes of Bill during his captain rounds, and that’s what I tried to accomplish. I joined the round, gave orders for our FoB and Delta Scouting, and attempted to play a normal round. As the marines deployed to the surface, however, things started to go off the rails.
I had to deal with a multitude of ship side issues, ranging from the Mps pranking me with a fake execution, predator gear recovery, and a potential High Command fax. Seeing this, and with the marines winning handily, I left the operation in the hands of my XO while I was straightened everything out. As I handed over command, I thought we’d wrap up the operation in a few minutes.
I was wrong.
The tide quickly turned, and before I knew it the marines were being routed to the FoB. It was looking grim, and to make matters worse, I realized Delta was planning a mutiny against me. Not wanting to take on Delta squad with my CIC and MP forces, I called the marines back to the ship to try and put it down.
During which I constantly heard on Delta comms of a mutinying happening. At which time I kept hearing for Delta to find me, and a multitude of things that made me fear for my life. So, I ran around the ship. Later I ran up to upper engineering with delta still screaming for my head, and hid in a locker for about thirty seconds. After thirty seconds I ran out into the hall and Delta surrounded me.
When Delta had me cornered, I made the decision that I was not going to let a band of mutineer bastards take me alive as hostage. However, instead of killing myself via Mataeba, I used the Predator relay as a suicide bomb. Here, I admit fault. I should not have meta’ed the relay as a grenade, and I accept the responsibility and note for that. As for why I’m writing the report – THIS is the note.
“Player heavily warned for impersonating Bill Carson (with permission from the actual player of Bill Carson), resulting in extensive LRP, screaming about wanting to evac despite the dropship not having been hijacked yet, and overall, in my personal opinion, baiting a mutiny. The player also blew themselves up after being captured as part of the mutiny using a Predator beacon, which they would have no IC knowledge of being a bomb. The behavior exhibited was unacceptable, especially for someone playing as CO. |
Please get this shit fixed.”
This note doesn’t accurately describe the situation. Playing as another persons character is not against the rules as far as I know, and I even went through the effort of getting Fitchase’s permission beforehand. I don’t believe my actions regarding the evacuation should be considered Lrp either. As for the mutiny baiting, I truly did NOT try and bait a mutiny, I gave legitimate orders and left the mission in capable hands.
