Description of the incident:
My character missed the dropship and went for the Liaison's room for playing the arcade while waiting for another chance to get into action.
Liaison came from his office, asking about my presence. And offered to call the dropship.
My client lagged, text suddenly jumped down (without playing the endgame audio) and I was caught by surprise with the liaison shooting at my character.
Since liaison sometimes get ANTAGONIST missions from his fax (including hostile stuff like "elliminate witnesses" or "get aliens aboard") I tought that was the case and returned fire once.
As the text scrolled down again, I saw blue OOC messages, the audio effect of round end finally played, I realized the round had ended and so didn't clicked him again.
I was going to AHELP the griefer, but then suddenly I got a EoRG temporary ban from Ordukai. (????????)
Guys?
First, there is no way for a player to know if the liaison is being an antagonist, or just a griefer. We may expect anything from him.
Second, you must pay attention to the constant LAGs impairing a players judgement and causing unintended clicks. (It was ONE shot back to the liaison by my log, obviously this was not my character actually engaging in a gunfight).
Evidence (screenshots, logs, etc):





How you would punish the accused: No idea what would be adequated.
But at least, tell him to take IN-GAME context in consideration next time. (It was the liaison, not a marine or other character. Liaison sometimes is an antagonist.)
The player actions log too (it was one shot fired back at the liaison, not a lot of them).
The possibility of LAG interfering in players actions.
And the protocol, that was ignored. (I received no messages. Nothing was investigated.)
Diving into rules and applying bans without taking the context into consideration doesn't result in a good player experience.
And also I hope you do me justice on the annotations / blacklist topic / whatever you have.
-> I am not a griefer of any sort.
