    Date of Incident
    October 15, 2021

    Your Character Name?
    Prime Ravager DOR

    Accused Byond Key(if known):
    Vho

    Accused Character Name
    Ancient Empress

    Approximate time and date of the incident (Central US Time for fastest results)
    22:50 CT

    What rule(s) were broken:
    Rules 2, 3 and 4

    Description of the incident:
    NOX was playing queen and deovi'd even before the marines arrived.
    I later heard he did it to gib survivors or something, going as far as to move the hive core there (? unsure).
    Entire hive including queen ended up camping BR medical, forcing a siege and eventually losing.

    It's pure NRP, TDM behavior to deovi when the hive isnt even threatened.
    It griefs not only his side by denying any latejoins evolution progress, but ruins the round as a whole - it's bound to end in either of the sides speedrunning, or forcing a massive "roundstart" siege in which most of t1-t2s cant even participate due to the sheer amount of marines alive and weeding restrictions.

    Evidence (screenshots, logs, etc):
    Dont have anything solid, should be clear thru logs.

    How you would punish the accused:
    Note for LRP or escalate the soft griefer to a jobban already.
    Mostly clarify the rules to make sure things like this do not happen. It aint fun for anyone involved.

    Hi I was the surv they gibbed.

    We had hunted down all xenos that entered the colony so they didn’t get any weeding done til about 12:18(when queen rushed us) around offices, screeched and killed one of us there then chased us to garage(right outside of LZ) about 12:20ish, they breached p easy because of t3s and queen wall/Cade slashing and killed us, queen stayed behind to gib me, around 12:22ish at this point(the time when ds lands if it takes off as soon as it can) and queen moved back to the area west of bar by the time marines arrived in force,
    I had alt tabbed at this point mostly so nothing else to add really.

    I was Captain of the USCM Force that was responding to the distress signal this round.

    DS was sent at 12:24 and landed to encounter queen at 12:25. They were camping medbay with 2 ravs 2 boilers and the rest of the hive.
    This basically forces me into a situation of: 1. Evac or 2. Attack.

    So after being pushed back all the way to the FOB we hunkered down at North-of Medical and fought like hell. We killed off a boiler and then a rav with the help of SADAR and a strong flanking force. Shortly after we encroached down on the queen, who overextended in medbay, and they were killed with small arms. We won in 20-25 minutes from this point.

    Since, for whatever reason, the hive core(the thing meant to protect the hive cluster, just like how the queen is meant to be in the hive until threatened) was in medbay, we decided to OB the actual hive. Which we did. Then we steamrolled the rest of the xenos since they were mostly T1s save for a boiler and beserker rav(who sacrificed themselves to defend the new queen, taking down 7 marines).


    So my issue is not the tactics played here. My issue is camping LZ with full hive and queen. Marine forces were attacked by the queen(who is supposed to be supporting xenos from her hive until its threatened) directly after the drop. This puts the game in a position where it's either metarush or be metarushed. We stomped the big xenos after 10-15 minutes of fighting and then stomped the rest of the hive who had been completely unprotected thanks to the lack of defenses.

    It's an RP expectation problem when the entire hive is camping the LZ with the hive core. And then when they get stomped by marines it becomes the issue of bad gameplay.
    For xenos: They could not evolve and only 3-5 players had any particular role thanks to the attempt at metarushing. God forbid after these situations the queen gets on ovi for 30 minutes to "get t3 slots filled" and stalls the server of 100+ players.
    For marines: They were stuck in one spot of the map and then it was a cakewalk thanks to poor xeno tactics.

    Equally bad gameplay would happen if marines evacced. Xenos would have no gameplay on the ground and marines would have spent 23 minutes prepping just for a metarusher to force evac in 1 minute.
    These are the types of poor, gameplay-ruining tactics which we see lots of jbans come from. Simply because it's not the spirit of the game to try to cheese a round 5 minutes in, but even so, in this case it backfired for the xenos.
