Description of the incident: I just woke up around 12:20 into the round. Briefing was still going on the time I finished prepping 12:27. I hear the plan is LZ2 FOB on Science Annex and it's confirmed by the status. I won't go into the specifics, but LZ2 has more disadvantages than LZ1. I tell the XO I'm taking over briefing and give my plan laying it out to the marines (marines receive this positively). My original plan was to deploy, but when I returned to CIC to do my final checkup before I deployed, the XO tells me they no longer want to command and tell me I must stay due to CO guidelines. I was excited, it had been a while since I did CIC, and I was ready to settle in for some good Shipside RP. I was a bit off put that the XO was using the CO guidelines to control me, but didn't care much. Kenneth stayed around for OW. Passive remarks were given during the operation by the XO that his plan was better and mine was failing due to marines being too spread out. The XO suggest to make a bravo FT1 to help with front. I say that's a good idea and to order. This is where the main problem begins. The XO says he can not. I was confused and after the last passive remarks I was at my last straw with him in CIC (of course all IC, I wasn't actually frustrated at this time). I yell at them they're a senior officer in the USMC, and don't need my authorisation to give squads orders for the op. I tell them to leave if he can not handle giving basic orders to squad instead of just call outs. They leave CIC so I order the MPs to arrest them for NOD. MPs arrest them, Kenneth complies with little issue. I keep going with the op then have power issues due to Shipside events with PMCs and insurance (which I didn't know at the time, I was too busy dealing with the XO and OP as I was solo in CIC now). Jamicans came onboard for gear retrieval from a fallen pred that we took onboard. The Shipside situation got worse with power issues and me losing the ability to communicate with marines due to comms going out and OW consoles losing power. (I thought the MT Shipside could handle it and I got too busy with the XO that re-appared just to snip the wire back). While powers going out and I'm more focused on the op, Kenneth is released. Kenneth comes back to CIC (by this point I'm a bit frustrated by all the issues that aren't allowing me to do CIC and the XO acting like a child before with the passive aggressive remarks). The XO request they be allowed back in CIC. I ask them if they're ready to give orders, they respond they're unable too cause of my authority. I tell them to go to req, and that they would be demoted. On code red the XO decides it would be time to demand an appeal for the demotion, and refuse to head to req saying it would be NOD for them to do that. I tell them to leave CIC as I have too many issues to deal with him. They refuse, I give them a partial appeal. The appeal made me positive Kenneth was soft griefing by keeping the XO job and refusing to do his job and was focused on being right rather than helping the marines. The appeal goes south turning into an argument with the CMP being lost in-between us (I want logs to specifically back me up here) as Kenneth did the thing that annoyed me the most. They started to twist ML and my words, out of context to help them. Then the FOB collapses while I'm taking to the XO and CMP (The CMP had just woken up). Marines are wipped ground side and a few make it out on the Normandy. The round ends with me being crushed by the ERT shuttle (which I thought was the funniest thing of the round). To sum it up, I changed to my plan, the XO didn't like it, used a rule to keep me Shipside, and then acted like a SO plus and was removed for that
Evidence (screenshots, logs, etc): Logs will state everything I have said
What resolution are you seeking? A job ban. Far too long Kenneth Lance has put up plans that aren't fun or interesting, but get the marines massacred. They've also gone against COs more than once, and they've had more munities under them than I can count. It's against staff policy to ban someone for being incompetent, but by now something has to be done to let them know they're ruining the fun of the server for other players.
