Which Staff Protocols (//showthrea...-and-Protocols) were broken -Do not abuse your power.
-Preserve the RP and enjoyment of the server
- Do not try to heavily influence the game unless it is for very good reasoning such as for an event, a player purposefully holding up the game, dishing out punishment for rule breaking (Examples: a commander killed a marine unjustly, a squad of marines are killing other marines for no reason, a queen is slashing every host known to man, aliens have stacked too many huggers) or other such things.
- Constantly stay cool. Regardless of what a player says to you do not act unprofessional and get angry with them.
Description of the incident We were all preparing to drop to Kutjevo, the XO had made up a plan and was running it while I was deploying as CO to lead in the field as usual.
A MP cadet attempts to arrest a marine on the Alamo by himself, and a handful of marines disarm him and steal his taser. MP's do not have OOC protections, and he was foolish to try and make such an arrest solo against a group of deltas who would protect their friends. This is an IC incident entirely.
Then the cadet draws a pistol and fires a shot off, prompting me to order him to leave as he jumped to lethals.
Grimreaper then spams flashbang clusters on the Alamo. We launch to deploy and get on with the round
Grimreaper locks the Alamo down, forces it back to the Almayer and asleeps EVERYONE onboard while he "investigates".
He keeps this for around 12 minutes until informing us that he doesent know how to mass unsleep everyone, then does it 1 by 1. We get to deploy at about 12:40. Delaying the game for EVERYONE by 20 minutes, ruining the round flow entirely and resulting in a quick fob siege because of a failed arrest which was entirely IC.
While this was happening I messaged a few higher ranking staff members on discord to try and save the situation but no one was online, and Grimreaper decided that he makes the calls on the RP policy now despite MP's not having OOC protections. This was not even a case of the entire alamo dunking on an MP, but one MP coming in to an arrest and a few buddies stopping him. None of the marines used lethals on the MP or cuffed him or anything of the sort, they stole his taser, disarmed him, and bodyblocked.
Their was many other ways he could have dealt with this, such as sending in a riot team or MARSOC unit to apprehend the criminals. He could have gotten the SEA to train the MP's in crowd control measures and lethal escalation (since they actually broke the rules there). He could have just checked the logs and aslept only the people who disarmed the MP if he really wanted to, instead he chose the easiest, most round effecting solution and then was unable or unwilling to resolve it quickly.
EvidenceWhat resolution are you seeking? Grimreaper should be demoted for this or at the very least put on a system role and retrained in ingame moderation, this was nothing short of griefing the entire round. His reaction to it was completely out of touch, seemingly failing to understand "why are people acting so mad" because he stopped their game for nearly half an hour.
