What rule(s) were broken: Rule 4: Grief
Description of the incident: I really dislike making reports, especially when i'm playing a character that I prefer not to be known as one of my own, but this really calls for an exception.
I grab my shotgun, go to the Alamo. I'm a naked marine, so obviously it grabs a few people's attention. However, instead of pointing and laughing or making a funny remark, Mason Spike, Yazmin Ramirez, and Magnus Mauer begin to disarm spam me to try and steal my shotgun and drag me off the Alamo. It's whatever, I don't really care as this happens every now and then.
What isn't supposed to happen is the Delta specialist, Magnus Mauer, purposefully disarm spam me after the others calmed down to force a gunshot from the disarmed hit. Obviously, Mason Spike and Yazmin Ramirez know this was a forced disarm shot. It clearly says it in chat, and neither of them are new players as far as I am aware. Regardless, they begin assaulting me again to try and steal my weapon claiming that I "Purposefully shot the Delta spec". We manage to land, and i'm trying not to cause a scene, and just get my shotgun and get off the ship. Mason Spike drags along Magnus and Mao Slayer, a Bravo RTO, and has them attempt to gun me down. Mao starts shooting at me, but didn't realize they had their B8 on their L42, so instead they began to hit me with the gun. I attempted to evade them, to stop the marines from ganking me with spam disarms, them assaulting me on the ground. Eventually, Mao picks up an E Tool and starts beating me with it. Eventually, I pull the only weapon I have left which is my boot knife, and stab them so they back off. The rest of the marines gang up on me, and Mason Spike, alongside Mao, a random bravo who was uninvolved previously, and Magnus gun me down.
Mason Spike drags me onto the Alamo, and refuses all treatment of me. I had already ahelped before we even landed in the first place about the specialist purposefully disarming me to get me to shoot him, but it wasn't until around the time I was being killed when it was finally responded to. The Synth eventually steals my body, as all the marines involved are killed or arrested ICly for murder, as forced by ARES (The admin responding to my ahelp).
Unfortunately, this backfires too. The ARES announcement gave literally zero context as to what they did beyond "Murder". The PO from earlier gets mad that I was not arrested for defending myself against OOC rulebreaks, and lies to the MPs, telling them that I killed people in Bravo Prep. A straight lie because he's mad his friends got in trouble.
The MPs arrests me with zero investigation, I ahelp, but it's unheard of until long after the situation is "resolved" in the brig. Marines are pissed because they have no idea what the arrested marines did to get arrested, plus they saw me get falsely arrested, so a jailbreak occurs, of which frees me, but leaves me without an ID and in the dark, without a weapon. Thankfully a marine dropped me off a weapon, but by this point xenos had landed and it was far too late to reposition myself anywhere outside of the CIC Brig area, effectively securing my death.
All of the involved parties blatantly griefed me, yet in the end I was the only one "Punished" at all. The marines who died before they got arrested dodged any "punishment" they were supposed to receive, the marines who got arrested were almost immediately freed to both a jailbreak, and the xenos crashing. The PO who could've stayed uninvolved after the entire situation purposefully has me falsely arrested because he's mad I was in the right. In the end, the only person who was punished was me, because I had to go through all that shit which essentially ended my round, as I was dead until evac occurred planetside, then immediately arrested when the xenos crashed in the Almayer.
Evidence (screenshots, logs, etc): Logs will come by soon. Expect a shit ton of disarm logs, a few punch logs, a bunch of M4A3 logs, a couple L42 logs, some knife logs.
How you would punish the accused: The IC punishments were far too lax for what occurred through the round. The proper punishments for breaking rule 4 should be applied in this scenario.
