Ruining a Round for an Entire Hive

Your Byond Key: Quakes72


Your character name: Jason 'AED' Fisher. Often the Queen.


Their character name: May-June 'Salt' Unk. (CL at the time of incident)


Their Byond key: Not Possible.


Approximate time and date of the incident: 11:00am.


What rule(s) were broken: An extreme case of meta-gaming.


Description of the incident:

The Marine forces had just launched a mass attack on the alien hive in the North-West caves. This attack was quickly foiled by one Crusher and the four Sentinels. With most of the Marines neutralized I changed the Hive orders in preparation for an invasion of the Marine Hive (Sulaco). The aliens marched with me to the shuttle landing pad and we called the shuttle to the planet. Upon its arrival we all (roughly 11 + 2 Larva) embarked on the shuttle. Suddenly all of us were stunned and an explosion was heard on my head set. Seconds later another explosion then another. One following another for five consecutive explosions. Before all the explosions had finished my alien hive was completely annihilated (With the exception of 1 Drone and 1 Sentinel who were still outside getting ready to enter the shuttle). As I mentioned before the player who organized and constructed the explosives that killed the hive was a Cooperate Liaison. There is no possible way according the server rules that he could have the skill set to construct such devices. Furthermore, with none of the aliens operating the shuttle earlier in the round how could he be sure that we would have the capability to call the shuttle and to use it to invade the Sulaco. Overall, maybe even more of an issue than him not having the in game capabilities to conduct such an attack is that he ruined the remaining round for 11+ aliens and the remaining marines who wished to attack as a second wave from the Sulaco. If you have talked to me (Im always the guy using various German words [its my first language]) then you know I often laugh off situations that may be worth reporting, but in this case I feel that this incident has disrupted more than just myself.

How you would punish the accused:

I feel that that person should be firmly informed of his/her actions results, and encouraged to play the game in a way that will not allow this to happen again. I hate the idea of a ban as it often ruins some of the games enjoyment, but I also feel that a permanent job ban should be issued in this case.

Interesting enough, the shuttle was exploded again two minutes before my post, killing MORE.

Ohh so that's how it happened.

Corporate Liaison is mostly a passive position, a lot of people are not role playing the position correctly. Perhaps some serious enforcement of the position, or restriction to players without experience? I've seen the position first hand involved in serious counts of metagame, completely off-canon and abusing the job as a whole.

Hmm gotta agree on this one i belive
The liason shouldnt know chemistry or how to make nades,even more that xenos can use the shuttle

I was the researcher for this round (The only one and I was a late join).

The moment I got at researcher, the CL was in there, making an autolathe and trying to do research by themselves (Unsuccessfully) until I came in and helped. I hadn't any idea that she was doing explosives as I was focusing more on upgrading things and getting a third cloning pod at the cyro level of medical going.

I came down and saw that they were looking at a security camera through their laptop, they apparently installed a camera on there and when a lot of aliens went onto the shuttle they dented around 4-5 explosions that they had hidden under the chairs.

When the marines were re-doing the shuttle, the CL made another 4-5 explosives and told the marines not to touch them as they hid them on the shuttle (under boxes, office chairs) ect. When the aliens came on again a second time, she deontated the explosions which killed some more aliens and almost got the queen as well.

Now you see. This would have been a goodd report if it was not done the exact same time it was being handled during a round. odds are that it was handled as I hopped on to the same round to see about 5 different staff members online

odds are that it was handled as I hopped on to the same round to see about 5 different staff members online

During the time, there was only two and both were trial moderators. The CL did the first batch of explosions, and then around 10-20 minutes later, did the second batch of explosions. They were attempting to help / command the marines.

Still it was a issue that was resolved during the round. Just because we do not reply to your Ahelps does not mean we are not handling them or resolving them. If you did Ahelp than odds are it was resolved before this report was even made

[SASoperative]

So as said this has been resolved as I saw talk of it in staff chat so I will make the assumption that my staff had the common sense to handle it if they were talking about it during the time it was taking place.
