Would be nice if you could put yourself in my shoes for a moment instead of just defending your Mentor.Feweh wrote:Resolving this as an IC issue.
Your complaint is that the CO wasn't following his procedures, yet a huge no-no from yourself is right here and going against Marine Law.
10:52:31]SAY: Darius Ico/WestHybrid : I won't even put you in a cell. You can hang out on the shuttle for ten minutes and come right back.
[10:53:01]SAY: Darius Ico/WestHybrid : Insubordination, neglect of duty. Allegedly you have been getting in the way of the Commander's establishment of the FOB.
That in itself is going against Marine Law as you must brig the person for the laws they commit.
Obviously Solid didn't see this, but he was right in his accusations in the end that you yourself were an actual issue and potentially could cause him problems in the future.
Provided with Solid further having an actual plan and discussion with others to remove you from CMP (justified or not) shows RP and no ill intent to cause grief.
Further-more, the EORG will not be considered grief as the execution was follow up RP.
Provided West himself egged on the CO to even execute him using IC means further engaging along the role-play that was being generated.
All of this is being deemed IC and both side themselves dealt with it the entire time through IC means.
There was no reason to further take it to OOC means afterwards honestly.
For clarifications, Chaz could of been battlefield executed himself planetside, the CO as West himself stated had all the right to be there and orders around any marines he wanted.
This was actually a decent RP set up turned bad due to saltiness at the end.
You're missing the big point. Yeah, the issue is IC, but that's what I'm trying to talk about. Beyond the fact that he's a Mentor, and a pretty good one at that, he's on the CO whitelist and he did these things as a Commander. His IC behaviors have to be held to a higher standard, or what is the point of the whitelist to begin with? I'm also on the goddamn list, and if I did something like that at the end of the round, with reasoning made of sand and paper mache, and killed the CMP, you'd be sure as shit hearing from your Mods and your Mentors that some scrub committed improper escalation and ought to be removed from the Whitelist for being a bad CO. But he's on the inside track as a Mentor, so his side is easier to take than mine. He's in your ear, I'm not.
The issue is IC, and that's the point. It's easy to peg me as salty, but I was actually enjoying the roleplay up until I was shot. And yeah, that seems obvious, I died, boohoo, but in reality I would've been fine being arrested, demoted, brigged, even executed down the line if it was up to more than just Solid on a spur of the moment escalated murder. He took a vote between himself and two other people, whereas the entire MP department refused to take part and pretty much told him it was a poor idea. Had the round not ended, he could've told High Command to demote me, put me in a cell, had be executed later on. It didn't play out like that. And even then, with the round ending right then and there, he could have had me brigged or we could've kept talking, gone to High Command (like he should have, and it would've been easy, because he IS High Command), etc.
I wouldn't have given a shit if he didn't make a selfish choice. It didn't benefit anyone's round but his own. It didn't make mine or the other MP's, the other marine goon or the Lieutenant that followed him have a more significant round. And of course it's not his job to make everyone else have a good round, but it could be argued it's at least not his job to make anyone's round a shitty one. I don't care if the Commander plays a rational guy or a sociopath, and I have no ill wills against Solid because I know he's good at his job, but the moment you start using the privileges of your role, the role that is used to push narrative that benefits more than just yourself, and you use those privileges for selfish reasons, I don't really feel like playing with you anymore.
That's my beef. I'm not salty. I'm passionate about Colonial Marines having a high standard of roleplay, because that's where the server is headed and has been developing towards. It's a place where there is a military structure and shit is supposed to make sense. If I'm wrong, tell me.
