Why is end of round grief banned.

See title, is this a technical issue? Because simply disabling combat log generation after a specific point in time would be rather simple.

I really don't know. I'd assume it's because at the end of the round, new players observing would get the idea this is okay to do at the end of the round and just do this at round start.
You will never be as bad as the baldie who picked up a tactical shotgun while a hunter was pouncing on top of a CMO for 4 seconds, with his only response being to pace around before being decap'd by said hunter. You are not Brett Kimple, and you never will be. You are not the reason why I regular MP.

It is due to the fact that we are a mediumRP server. The RP continues until the next round starts.

We are trying to support the idea of a server with RP. This server is supposed to be military RP. Would the real army start randomly shooting each other after they win a battle? Then you shouldn't either.

Snype and InterroLouis have the right of this. RP continues into round end. You don't suddenly get to drop all RP at round end and shoot your buddy right in his face because he slept with your girlfriend when he's supposed to be YOUR BEST FRIEND!!!!!!!!

Right... but yeah. No EORG

Aside everything else already pointed out, it's just not that fun getting shot in the face by a baldie, who had just woken up from cryo, after fighting off hordes of aliens. On the technical side, combat log generation is important after round end, because even after the round ends the marines may be in conflict with a faction. Deathsquads, Iron Bears, rarely the PMCs, or other antagonists, maybe out and about, and sometimes the round may be delayed to see how this plays out. It's still possible to grief and ruin people's fun in these situations.

I actually don't think this is a RP issue.
This is actually a more of a bay12 issue, because holy fuck does it get laggy and shit when you have over 10-40+ people shooting each other.


Seriously, thats why, if EORG was allowed, half of the time i am preety sure the server would crash, RP issue is just a blanket to cover it up.

It is primarily the RP reason.

On other servers that encourage eorg, it helps get pent up violence out before roundstart.

CM is always violent, so there's no need for a release valve of that time.

Well can we atleast have more antags for the Sulaco?

Except if the antag is even somewhat threatening marines would auto-lose the round.

Even with easy access to guns for 'non' antags yeah, a decent syndi-traitor for example would single handedly ruin the Sulaco, mainly sense no one expects him.

Vanilla, everyone is not to be trusted, CM, I more or less trust everyone, even the baldies. I don't feel bad when someone is in the tile next to me, Vanilla on the other hand...Well, if you get in the tile next to me and you keep doing it, I'm going to ram a pen in your eye.

From what I've been told, it generates logs and if the admins are looking at the records as a procedure to ban a player, gather proof or check something those logs makes their job harder

Give me a full toolbelt, and I can make the round HELL ON EARTH, even without cutting cryo and briefing open to space, OR spilling phoron. So... I'd say no.

Anytime Ive custom done antags outside of the Norm theyve wrecked shit.

No one pays attention to anything but xenos on Sulaco. A traitor could go around blowing up half of Sulaco and no one would notice.

Granted, blowing up half the Sulaco could be a traitor or just a bad MT/CE so....

Primarily, it's an RP issue. We are a medium RP server, and RP continues after the round ends into the conclusion. In fact, sometimes if the Liaison is doing something super sneaky, the round may get delayed so he can complete his objective (if it's not too long).

the secondary reason, is combat log spamming. If we are investigating an incident, the spam can cause a problem.


Honestly, I've never liked end-of-round grief. I mean, it can be funny on lowRP, but when you RP a shift and someone at the end just blows the shuttle up, it's kinda a bummer.
