Thebossdude22 - OniWan: Staff Complaint

Subject: thebossdude22

Policies or Expectations Violated: Ethical policy would have been violated along with respecting other players.

Do you want this complaint to be made public after it is processed: I don’t care

Detailed Summary: I was playing as a rat king on a LRP vulture server. I was trapped in engineering because the entire station was either spaced, super hot, or super cold. Well, thebossdude22 was playing as the Captain at the time and came into engineering with a shotgun in his hand. I attacked and killed him because anyone with a gun coming at me I’m assuming is gonna try to kill me. He called that meta-gaming tho however because I think he killed me in a previous life as a rat king.

I hung out in engineering because I was trapped in there as mentioned above and there was not much I could do. I went and broke telecomms because I did know breaking stuff like AME or atmo is against rules but didn’t know telecomms was off limits too. The rules state you need to try to kill the crew as minor antags. Isn’t breaking stuff in engineering as long as it isn’t something that could mass kill the crew (i.e. Atmo, singulo etc) trying to achieve that goal wihen I’m stuck in there? because it forces the crew to come check out telecom and find out what’s wrong with it and there for I could kill them or they could kill me whatever.

Anyways, my main complaint is the fact that this game admin chose to call me a dick after the fact OOC while using his IC character. He let his emotions take over because he was upset that he died so he was just itching for a reason to get me in trouble for it. said “I hope you’re prepared to be punished for this” or something similar i don’t remember his exact wording. I said why? and he said “For being a dick”

He said I’m getting a warning for breaking telecomms and I apologized. I asked him to apologize for calling me a dick and he refused and said it’s not against the rules. So, calling your members/players names ESPECIALLY as a game admin is okay but breaking a telecomms servers is where we draw the line?

I would like the warning removed from my record and thebossdude22 to be reprimanded for not fully understanding his own ethics as a game admin and how they should act when handling encounters OOC such as rule violations.

I feel the warning was unjustified because I was trying to get the crew to come to engineering which is the part of the rule that he covered that i broke specifically.

Also the admin did say i was meta-gaming some how and I have no clue how yet. The admin just dodged that question when I said why and the admin chose to call me a dick.

Findings

  1. This complaint was filed before the rules rewrite, therefore it will be handled using the set of rules prior to the rewrite.
  2. thebossdude22 is a trial administrator.
  3. The complainant played multiple rat kings during the round. Rat kings were a minor antag that were given leeway on their actions due to their ability to speak, so long as it benefits them in some way.
  4. The complainant was murdered by the captain (thebossdude22) after they had attacked a janitor.
  5. The complainant respawns as a second rat king, drinks blood puddles, then attacks the captain on sight when seeing them in engineering. The captain was holding a shotgun while returning scrubbers in engineering.
  6. Rat kings did not need to follow escalation rules, as they were a minor antag.
  7. The complainant later enters telecomms and partially destroys communication relays, still recoverable. Considering the fact the hallways were inhospitable due to a tritium leak, attempting to lure crew into comms instead of going outside was a reasonable reason to break telecomms.
  8. thebossdude22 expressed their anger in dead chat with some colorful language, as well as directly confronted the complainant with insults.
  9. thebossdude22 ahelped the complainant and issued a warning.
