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.
Everything could have just been resolved IC if the MPs weren't completely incompetent.
Enforcement of the rules
- Whenever a player receives a punishment they should know why and what they are being punished for.
- Ensure that all incidents are adequately investigated before giving a ruling.
- We are not a government repressing their citizens. Don't hassle players for literally everything.
When I blew up the brig door, nobody was seriously injured. One guy walked too close and took a little damage, but I made sure to place the c4 when there were no MPs around so nobody would be hurt.
Description of the incident Round starts, everyone goes to gear up, someone breaks the delta req windows so people can get the stuff from behind the counter. MPs show up way too late to see anything happen, immediately start accusing people of breaking it.
Delta SL Windhealer escapes MPs, runs to the hangar, and avoids MPs while the CO is apparently hearing about the situation. MPs start tasing and flashing people on the Alamo to try and get Windhealer, they manage to grab him and drag him east and northeast of the Alamo before more of Delta interferes. MPs start tasing other delta squad members, including assaulting one with a tazer by bashing him with it.
CO repeatedly state that delta is pardoned of their crime of breaking a window, MPs refuse to listen and continue dragging Windhealer and other Delta squad members to the brig. Seeing as the MPs were breaking the rules and ignoring orders, I chose to blow up the north brig doors to try and distract the MPs so that Delta could get everyone else out of the brig, since MPs were being extremely shitty and blatantly ignoring a pardon from the CO. I hide in a cryo bag on the Alamo to avoid MPs, and successfully deploy. The xenos lose ground pretty fast, and I intended to say "I blew up the brig door, let the other guy go" after we deployed, but I was busy breaching through walls to keep the push going.
Dusanking123 PMs me to ask if I blew up the brig door, saying that he just needs to know if I did and that I will not get in trouble. I choose to comply since that was the right thing to do, as I assumed it would resolve the issue as quickly as possible and allow everyone to continue on with the round.
Hunk later PMs me to say he is taking over the issue and that I will be receiving a 3 hour ban for 'roundstart shenanigans' and 'metagrudging MPs', since last round I had been permanently brigged as Delta SL for 'sedition' and 'encouraging a mutiny' when my squad was using a M56D on the firing range, which upset the CE since apparently it broke a wall. I had no clue that the walls in the firing range could even be destroyed. I told the CE to "suck a fat one" for getting mad that the marines were using the firing range, because I thought the CE was just being difficult for the sake of it.
MPs apparently brigged the wrong engineer for the entire op, as well as the delta specialist for protesting the unlawful brigging. I evaded the MPs for the entire round, but the MPs still ruined the rounds of two completely innocent players due to their refusal to listen to the CO. The round end was also delayed for some time due to gathering logs.
Evidence Logs, conversations with other players, people from Delta, and the unfairly brigged players
How you would punish the accused Removal of notes, possible warning for the MPs and staff.
