Scenario Questions
Scenario 1
It is the start of the round. There are 60 players on the server. The game mode is traitors, traitors have not been selected yet. There are three players who decided to observe the round instead of join it orbiting you. Two of them are encouraging you to “do something funny”.
I would ask them what they would like to see happen if it won’t kill the station it may be granted, but I’d most likely say no.
Death squad will be a no.
ERT during nukies very unlikely unless there was a red phone use.
CC agent event would be a maybe.
Scenario 2
This scenario takes place on LRP. The Head of Security has decided to coup the Captain. The Head of Personnel agrees with the Head of Security and has taken up arms in case it is necessary to aid in effecting the arrest of the Captain. The Captain is hiding with the Quartermaster in the cargo shuttle to avoid the Clown who has stolen the captains saber as a non-antag. There are five people named in this scenario. Please describe what actions, if any, you would take in relation to each, and why.
Clown if they are killing people just to kill them, I would warn them (warning/threaten), but if they just have the saber and don’t return it in a reasonable time it would (bwoink ‘please give cap their sword’).
Captain and QM are named but there is no reason I see to do anything to warrant any reaction (nothing).
HOS and HOP are doing some fun RP coup thing I would like to see the end of it (no warning) [i forget if a coup is against the rulez].
Scenario 3
You are ahelping a player about an issue. The player has no prior noted issues. A few days earlier, an admin had told you that this type of situation should result in a temporary ban for a first offense, and you are confident that this situation is not substantially different from the type that admin was describing. During the ahelp, another admin pings you on Discord with a link to the ongoing ahelp and tells you to just indefinitely ban them and make them appeal. Excluding trialmins and headmins, all admins are equally “ranked”. A headmin is not currently available.
I would ask them to be patient and wait and allow me to handle this one first if I’m near the end of the issue, or (if i am just starting it) just look into the other Ahelp and see what is wrong (of long go back to the first issue).
