Description of the incident: Hey I got decaped by a pred, my experience so far:
Beginning of deployment Found a predator dragging off a marine so I shot at the predator ignorantly as a marine first seeing a predator with no info, then they attacked me. I got downed but then the pred threw me back to be rezzed, all cool, self defense.
Then around 1:10 round time a medic without me knowing why got into a fight with a pred and I remembered preds kill(bright guy eh?) so this time I didn't shoot or even go after them so the medic got dragged off. About three minutes later an Engi or someone talked with one to ask for them back. The engi said something like "the medic was-" Then I replied in a marine way "retarded" then asked for the medi back. No gun out, no hostile intent, then with no warning the pred begins to chase and attack me until he drags me off and decapitates me. I hadn't been paying attention to the pred and the engi since I had been focusing on the hive area to our left at the time so I came in ignorantly then realized they were talking about the medic from earlier, so I butted in to try and help. Then, maybe before or right after I asked for the medic back they said something like 'you'll need one two three jkdf8sj after jfdaik' which gave my slow mind an aneurysm thinking then they suddenly attacked.
Pretty sure this ain't right chief. I was just trying to help then abruptly got capped.
Evidence (screenshots, logs, etc):
How you would punish the accused: Since I myself aren't sure the buildup of the situation, why the pred didn't attack the engi or whoever instead of me, what I did, why they decapped instead of at least throwing me back like the pred from earlier, (which may've been the same pred but how in the world am I supposed to remember their mask or something after battling xenos, rearming, not even knowing their name, etc)
I say just tell them to rp better or make more obvious signs or try and defuse or challenge or anything but don't just zap a dude for not knowing. Maybe a light suspension or whatever you more knowledgable guys think, but for me I ask that even if I'm in the wrong and I provoked them, please try and get more descriptive roleplaying, after all its mrp yet barely anyone uses the ME verb, especially preds who (in game) can't verbally communicate well should at least use body language like in the movies.
A small
[(Unknown) looks down on you and gets in a more fight ready stance]
goes a long way in telling you to back off (to safety preferably) or know you're about to get clapped so it's at least something to do instead of run around like a chicken before getting clapped.
Thanks mods for reading my "essay for college" like champs.
