Description of the incident: In short, round start I wake up windhealer comes to my office and asks for rubber bullets. I say now as per rules rubber bullets are for training only. They can cause unnecessary FF incidents due to the nature of how rubber bullets work in the game. Currently, there is a bug involving the SEA Training vendor that allows anyone regardless of access to easily bypass it and acquire rubber bullets. Knowing this I grab the vendor and toss it down ARSR. I wanted to prevent a mechanical exploit with the vendor.
Windhealer trespasses into my office round start when I wake up and caught int he act begins to ask if I can give him rubber bullets. I say now. He says he is going to hunt rats and I still tell him no. He leaves A short while later Windhealer comes to my office with another MT and begins harassing me and calling me names. Not long after as im writing fax to HC about the issue of the defective sea vendor Windhealer comes into my office with a bottle and chases me down maintenance. I attempt to flash him but he has welder goggles on. He proceeds to bottle me, Recommends i carry a bottle because its non-lethal , zip tie me and then parades me around engineering attempting to sell me to other maintenance technicians in the area. Windhealer begins to claim that he is a slave trader and is attempting to sell me. He said he was running out of ideas and decided to sell me as a slave to whomever would want to buy me. Would you like to buy a SEA and ETC. By this point I ahelp. Windhealer then strips me of command radio and uniform to prevent people from tracking me with the suit sensors. After a while of taking me around the ship he leaves me in research saying I am free to go now.
Rule 2: Roleplay
- I would argue there is no absolute reason for Windhealer in RP standards to have a valid reason to bottle me over the head at round start. Up until that point, the only talk I had with him was about rubber bullets. He then after leaving proceeds to gather materials to kidnapping me such as manufacturing zipties and acquiring a bottle. This is quite literally round start shinanigans and if this was some random marine doing the same thing they would have gotten banned at that point.
Rule 3: Community Expectations
- By this point as CO and the many reports, Windhealer should have a in-depth understanding of what ML and community expectations are on the server. As CO he represents the community and to conduct himself in this kind of manner is unacceptable given the current circumstances at play. SEAs are quite literally there to help people on the ship and he thought it was appropriate to hit me over the head with a bottle and kidnapped me for not giving him rubber bullets which is against the rules. Any and all gear issued to SEA is strictly prohibited to be given to people as per Mentor Overseers and mentor guideline rulings.
Rule 4. No griefing
- Windhealer griefed me by essentially bottling me over the head and kidnapping me for no valid gameplay reason. I was stripped of my clothing, communication devices, and paraded around the lower engineering halls like an idiot. His actions certainly ruined the round for me as I was planning to take time and play SEA for the little time I have given that I returned to school at the university. Had this happened when I wasn't I might have rolled with it but even then I would have given strong consideration to ahelping and reporting.
Rule 5. Mechanical Exploits
- SEA Training vendor is bug and everyone knows it. Windhealers knowingly attempted to exploit a weakness in the code which is being patched soon to acquire rubber bullets for whatever round start shinanigans he had planned for the round.
Rule 6. No Metagaming or Metacommunication
- Again breaking into my office round start to acquire rubber bullets for his own purpose. He was standing next to the machine ready to hack into it had I not arrived when I did. He used his skills to willing acquire illegal gear that he dam well knows can cause a lot of trouble very quickly. Rubber bullets are not even issued to riot ert. The only reason why they were given to SEA was to train new recruits and not to serve as suede laser tag / robust MPs. He is metagaming by round start breaking into my office to steal rubber bullets.
Rule 10. Lethal Force
- Windhealer utilized lethal force on a person who did no such actions to endanger his life. He bottled smashed me in my office which will incapacitate a person and cause them to bleed out should it not be treated. "Do not attack another player without a legitimate, explainable roleplay reason that could be applied in a similar, real-life scenario. A fistfight does not suddenly escalate into a gun fight." Windhealer as stated earlier attacked me with a considerable amount of force without I [pal johnson] doing anything to initiate any kind of confrontation that would require him to defend himself in such a manner.
Final Remarks
- I just wanted to get on and relax in CM13 for a bit. Since entering the master's program to get my degree I haven't had alot of time to play. I wanted to spend the round relaxed, talking to people, and do a bit of helping around the ship aswell as work on other MRs I am wanting to advance. I haven't got alot of time to spare and to have this just happened does upset me a bit. I don't normally get upset at this because its just a game at the end and we could resolve issues in IC but what occurred today is unacceptable especially from a highly regarded member of the community.
This situation and the given circumstances I cannot just resolve IC and thus I wrote this player report. Time and time again situations like this have arisen with similar people and unless an example is made I am afraid not much will be done to improve the quality of the server in regards to Roleplay Standards should situations like this be commonplace.
COs when and when not in the Role are held to higher expectations in the community given their status and windhealers actions today demonstrate that he has yet to understand what qualifies as roleplay and what is griefing which is rather concerning for a person like a whitelisted individual is windhealer who holds and an immense amount of influences across the server.
To round start break into SEA office, attempt to steal rubber bullets (against rules), then when rejected go out of his way to grab cable coil to make zip-tie cuffs, acquire liquor bottle, equip welder goggles to prevent flashing, and proceed to kidnap someone like SEA is unacceptable.
Finally, to @ me on discord and to call my MRs to hotfix bugs shit MRs is well quite frankly in poor taste given the situation. Just because you don't like an MR doesn't mean you have to call it shit on the public forum. If you have an issue debate it and elaborate why it should be changed or reconsidered. This is harassment at this point. I have little time out of the day as is and I try to contribute to the game in whatever way I can whether its coding or spending time training a new recruit how to play the game in the hopes that he survives the operation. I have spent countless hours just trying to help and to hear this from a community member like him is disheartening, to say the least.
Screenshots of IG. I also have a video of it but its mainly me being paraded around engineering. If you need it I shall provide it.
