Description of the incident First of all, somewhere in the middle of the round we got a XOOC about not going to some "fucked up area", I tried to ask QM thru hivemind where it is, but was left without an answer.
Later on I was told there's invisible walls just west to the hive by TKO the runner, the area was also completely deeweeded. I ahelped to have it reweeded and TKO later informed me the invisible walls are gone.
Sadly though they werent gone at all, and the main fighting area was still littered with invisible obstacles which blocked me for several seconds.
I have absolutely no clue what the admin in question tried to pull there, fucking around with immediate hive area while xenos were severely outnumbered (like 10 pooled with 13 alive and no t3s), and not even informing the hive or the queen about it.
I would have probably let that shit fly though, since luckily it didnt end up impacting us much. But as the round progressed, I got launched onboard Alamo as the queen, leaving most of the hive planetside.
I spent the next 5~ minutes killing MPs and marines without even losing my shielding slash shield, absolute wipe.
I figured that since its prob gonna take a while with just the queen to find all the marines, im going to let the ones planetside have fun rather than force them to afk observing till im done - I remade a hive core, a pool, and proceeded to mass banish them (ICly it was for leaving their queen's side and letting her come up on Alamo almost unguarded) so they can at least have SOME fun as T1s.
In the middle of the banishing, I was suddenly gibbed without warning, only after that I was PM'd that it was mechanical abuse and I shouldnt be doing it.
Ignoring both the IC and OOC reasons, the staff claimed im doing it to get an "advantage" (yeah bro I totally could just not take Alamo down and up again for t2s and t3s, certainly spawning larvas/T1s shipside is a better plan), despite it being painfully clear that I could just walk around the ship killing them all with no effort.
Had staff PM'd me to stop I would have obliged and just went around killing marines, yet for some reason they decided outright gibbing me was the best choice.
Further staff PMs with Forrest revealed that he has an unwarranted bias towards me, as he mentioned me causing trouble as queen and my notes possibly being a cause for imminent ban (im pretty sure I have never had a queen note).
He claimed the 'sheer number" of xeno notes makes my lack of queen ones irrelevant (I dont think I was noted as a xeno since the door spam warning like a year+ ago), and that him "personally" telling me to cut things out, "alongside other staff" somehow plays a role here - I dont think I've been in any issues with staff for the past 6 months, the last "conflict" I can remember is over killing cryos which is definitely longer than half a year old now.
I've had many shit interactions with staff but damn, I dont think I've had such clear bias shown against me before. Threatening bans on someone w/o notes without even admitting that perhaps he should have just PM'd first instead. Real funny.
EvidenceHow you would punish the accused Just do a community poll to remove him from staff and let the players decide, the amount of issues players and ex-staff including devs had with this person is ungodly long.
