Description of the incident: Copy pasting part of my role ban appeal here:
So the round started off like all others, with me rolling Spec and boot to lobby if I don't get it. I didn't get it, clicked join USCM, saw 0 SL's, and clicked SL. Saw only a few engis and medics (concerning, but comes up later in this appeal), gear up, mass vend req, and talk to my squad.
XO says to leave our engis at FOB due to a lack of engis, which I agree to and make sure my squad knows that means we have to stick together since no cades = xeno advantage if we get hit hard enough to have defibbable marines.
We get a briefing at Hangar and Charlie SL gets arrested (first warning signs of a bad operation start). I ignore this and don't interfere as the SL also complies peacefully. I go to Alamo when I get my orders to check for gaps in fog, and then as I am seated around 12:20, I see Charlie Spec also get arrested (second warning sign). Then I get told this isn't the only spec arrested; there is another spec arrested, and a engineer was being arrested as well.
As a SL and CPT whitelist holder, I understand the flow of the game very well. I also know that being down TWO SPECS, an SL, and a Engineer (especially since we had only a few engis) would lead to massive issues as the game went on.
Start of sorta new information:
I was told they were arrested for "breaking a window", with the SL and Spec being put in for Aiding and Abetting for 10 + minutes (since I was also told they full stripped a few of the prisoners before they even started the timer).
The reason I am making this report is because I believe Crimson spearheaded these arrests, as Brett (one of the other MP's I saw) is much more level headed and understanding; that doesn't mean he won't arrest, but not for something this minor. I am not sure of the other MP's histories as I don't know their names, I just know there was around 3-4 MP's.
Specifically, this report is about Crimson, because this has become a massive pattern whenever Crimson is MP. He always uses Marine Law as a weapon against marines, using any excuse to put high timers on anyone he can get, which almost always cause problems if not outright mutinies. Ive said it time and time again as a joke, but its becoming a reality more and more.
Whenever Crimson is MP (especially CMP) its a 50/50 coin flip on whether or not marines will mutiny. I don't know whether this is intentional by Solidfury, or how he plays his character, or whatever reasoning it is; I believe it has to stop.
Evidence (screenshots, logs, etc): N/A
How you would punish the accused: Either through an adjustment of Marine Law and what is acceptable (since MP's are more OOCly accountable nowadays than they are IC accountable), or cracking down on the people who abuse Marine Law in cases like this to stall or outright halt the entire round due to marines mutinying in protest.
