What rule(s) were broken:1 Lethal Force -
► Show Spoiler
This is defined as one marine purposefully using lethal weapons (guns, explosives, sharp objects, etc) on another marine (including beating a marine into crit/death) for a roleplay or in-character reason. The difference between this and grief, is that it normally involves 2 or more consenting players in a role-played incident or role-played escalation. A verbal argument followed by immediate murder is not "Lethal Force". You must properly escalate the situation (Argument>Pushing/Shoving/punching>Melee weapons>Guns). If you participate in a lethal force situation (even defending yourself) you are waiving your right to admin assistance (defined below). THIS DOES NOT PREVENT IC CONSEQUENCES SUCH AS DEMOTION OR ARREST. The key part of "Lethal Force" is that it is Roleplayed.
*Staff assistance - Defined as any action taken by any Staff to heal or aid in a player's negative state.
Examples:
Marine A and Marine B are arguing by the RO office for an extended period of time. Marine A threatens marine B's life. Marine B punches/stabs marine A. Marine A punches/stabs/shoots back. This is LETHAL FORCE and allowed by the rules (but expect to be stunned into senselessness by an MP or beaten down by nearby marines).
Marine A is upset the RO refuses to give him a specific modification. The RO continues to refuse, even after the marine threatens his life. Marine A shoots at the RO with his rifle until the RO is dead. This is GRIEF (even if the RO responds by shooting back). There was no RP escalation. Argue>shooting will ALWAYS be grief if there isn't some sort of physical altercation involved first.
Marine Z is upset with Bridge Officer Q. Marine Z draws his bayonet and knocks the BO down, then stabs him until he dies. This is GRIEF. If you are going to escalate, you MUST give them time to respond with similar (or greater) force. Meaning, if you stab someone, you MUST give them a chance to say something back IC, retrieve their knife to fight, or draw their weapon before you continue.
Player: "Help! This guy is shooting me!" Admin: "You used lethal force on them first. Good luck."
Lethal Force is a very SLIPPERY SLOPE, so it's best that you avoid it. Additionally, if you CONSTANTLY resort to lethal force in-game when inappropriate, it may start to be considered griefing.
*The bottom line: If you use lethal force, you're on your own, even if you're defending yourself.
