What rule(s) were broken:

Exploit (Disposal Loop)

Description of the incident:

The hijack was close to ending most of the xenos were looking for the last survivors. I see the marine "Tim 'Mountain Tim' Moxley" and begin chasing them, they open a door to an evac pod and there's a disposal input right there which sucks them in and then me. You can see in the video provided that other xenos were also stuck in the infinite loop. Permanently taking them out of the game. The person in the pod was named 'Andrij Panchuk' I suspect they were the ones which built the pipe given there was only one way into the pod. There was also no reason to wait at the pod unless they wanted to pull this stunt. They play CE so they would also know how to setup such a device.

Evidence (screenshots, logs, etc):

What resolution are you seeking?

Proper punishment. This abuse of an exploit took a lot of xenomorphs out of the game and probably a few humans too.

Left out some Ahelps logs, but this is what I could find relating to this incident. The nameless ghosts are KHS and Tim, sorry initially there was only one..

Lurker KHS here.

I was lurking around the ship. In a pod I saw marine and immediately pounce at him, after it, pipe version of Uroboros ate me. The end.

Agreed that is exploit and must be fixed.

[LilPenpusher]

I was the mod who handled the ahelp of KHS, but since it was essentially the round end by that point, and the chutes had been destroyed by the time I responded, I couldn't really do anything.

I did see the CE in an escape pod however, as seen in the video. I requested for this report to be made for full logs to be pulled.

What resolution are you seeking?
Proper punishment. This abuse of an exploit took a lot of xenomorphs out of the game and probably a few humans too.

Also I'd love to give my two cents here.

I'm not offended by that joke. From my point of view it was acceptable round end shenanigan. It didn't affect round at all, so it was even funny (for me at least). The only thing that worries me, it's opportunity to make such traps. It obviously can be used for shittery and such things, which may result in a very bad UX. So I think it should be fixed to prevent it's abusing. Also at last 2-3 days I've noted that pipe traps in a trend right now. So maybe it give the admins headache soon.

[Somenerd]

Confirmed with head dev is confirmed as a bug which has now been patched.

I think the actions taken are very obviously non intended behaviour and Maikalayal will be receiving a warning for bug abuse.

Report Accepted, apologies for the delay.
