Description of the incident: This round I was playing tank crewman and Dusanking123 was playing CO. Me and the other CO had been upset at the CO for ignoring us completely the entire operation and abandoning us in the underground section of ice for over half an hour despite us calling for help numerous times. We, had this point, had admittedly complained about the CO in squad comms to absolutely no response from command. The other VC did say the CO should be murdered in one channel (which the CO admitted he had not heard in dchat), but I never indicated any violent intent or advocated for mutiny in ANY CHANNEL (though me and the other VC discussed it in LOOC and I had ahelped asking if I could join one were there one).
We finally manage to get out of the underground, and back onto the ship. Mind you, at this point there is an event hive loose on the Almayer and a full on outbreak of cultists, and we are ready to assist. Before we can even drive off the Alamo, the warden runs onto it and clamps down our tank, which begins the incident. Upon asking why our tank has been clamped down, we are told to exit the tank and not given a reason, despite us asking numerous times why. The CO has already BE'd at least two marines this round, so I am reserved about exiting it. I only discuss this in command comms, I do not try to incite mutiny among marines or even tell anyone that this is happening.
After some discussion, I give in and announce my intent to surrender over command comms. I exit the tank, and stand perfectly still proclaiming my intent to surrender while the warden clumsily fumbles for their flash (I had plenty of opportunity to resist, but I didn't). The MP then flashes me onto the ground, and starts to grab me, most likely to cuff me. The CO then barges into the alamo, pushes aside the MP, grabs me and drag me out of sight of the tank gunner (who, separate from me, never left the tank and was never punished). I then tell him again I am surrendering peacefully, and he just says "Still" and executes me while I'm on the ground, flashed.
I believe that while I was guilty of insubordination and disrespecting a superior, I never once tried to convince marines to mutiny or overthrow legitimate command. I not only fit none of the three requirements for a BE (I was not attempting/advocating to overthrow command, I was not a threat to the operation, and I was surely not a threat to personnel). Beyond that, the player in question is ABSOLUTELY STRETCHING the idea of "not in MP custody." I was flashed, on the ground, not resisting, about to be cuffed by an MP as he dragged me AWAY from the MP to execute me. While I was not restrained at the very moment, the only reason I wasn't was because the CO desperately wanted to execute me to the point where he had to PUSH past an MP to do it. I think that this shows clear ill intent on his part and is the most telling part of this report.
Evidence (screenshots, logs, etc):
How you would punish the accused: I would absolutely remove their Commodore rank and strip them back down to CPT as well as a heavy warning. Blatant BE hunting like this is not acceptable behavior for someone on the CO whitelist much less a full commodore.
