Approximate time and date of the incident (Central Us Time for best results): 4:30pm 10/23/16

Which Admin Protocols (viewtopic.php?f=57&t=5647) were broken: Abuse of Power, Drastically influencing game outcome

Description of the incident: About 45 minutes into the round, after securing T-Comms, engineering, and the nexus, Alpha and Bravo moved north to secure the Med Dome and Hydroponics. We caught a whole bunch of xenos with their pants down. We killed a ton of T3s and other aliens and cleared out the weeds and what not. After that we fortified a front along the river at probably an hour into the game. Aliens were fighting us and coming over the river, many marines were being dragged across. I, as an SL ordered no one to cross, as well as command, however some did anyways. As a result, Coroneljones thought it necessary to spawn in hordes of snakes, panthers, and space carp to run us away from our fairly taken stronghold. We were already wounded, and fighting power aliens, and now on top of this there are random animals attacking us too. He then called in orbital strikes on our positions, killing many marines. It was not a metarush, it was a procedural retaking of the colony that happened to be far more efficient than most, and this kind of abuse of power ruined the round for many many people on the server. Crossing the river and the disobeying of orders was an IC issue that command needed to deal with. All Coroneljones accomplished was interfering with the round, and ensuring a xenomorph victory. It felt like we were being punished for playing too well.

Evidence (screenshots, logs, etc): I don't have access to the logs, and by the time I'm making this report the text has scrolled too far back to find the admin announcements, or carnage. However here is a screenshot of the space carp horde. http://imgur.com/a/RdQ9w

How you would punish the accused: I don't think I would have them punished if it were up to me, I just wanted to bring this incident to the staff's attention as it really bothered me, as well as many people playing that round.

Information thats relevent:
Prior to this, marines blew up the tunnel within 3 minutes of landing, Chased down and murdered atleast 3 aliens (Despite no way to know they were anything more than local fauna), A squad rambo'd toward tablefort and barely got held off, And then despite multiple warnings and progressing levels of motivation to fuck off, marines would not stop rushing across the river. They ignored not one but 6 swarms of mobs, 3 bombs, and more stuff getting progressively worse with plenty of warning.
Also, not really the marines fault but the survivors had ran around killing monkeys, one rushed crashed ship and killed two aliens there, and so on and so forth blah blah, Admin was just trying to keep them round from being unfun.
To put perspective on how soon marines were rushing across river, I died as a young boiler not even 600 progress (admittedly, Probably would have been mature if our queen hadn't been incredibly late to evolve)

There's a reason why you caught us pants down, you meta-rushed and meta-chased.


It was meta defense. We would have been wiped out 1 hour in the round.

I wasn't aware of the early round stuff going on, the Xeno chasing and tunnel blowing and what not, now that is bullshit. But I still believe everything after that happened fairly, as we did retake the rest of the colony piece by piece, and north was the only thing left.

We simply had secured everything else, medical and hydroponics were the last structures to be secured, and we had command's permission.

>alpha and bravo
More like alpha,bravo, charlie and some deltas
As soon as they could, every squad, or atleast three of them, rushed the river, not securing medical or hydro and pushing directly north
Even command told you to leave, you stayed, it was 37 or so minutes in, and you rushed the hive early

It was the THIRD round in a row where the marines rushed the river
I did the best i could to stop the marines
A mother report to warn them of migrating animals in the river, and i spawned about 10 or so of a random animal everytime the marines started crossing the river

As for everything being secure, it wasnt, only the nexus was, the xenos walked right into engineering and tcomms

Med and Hydro were barricaded immediately. Xenos got into T-Comms and Engineering because of a tactical error on our part of not leaving anyone to guard it. And I'm not saying we should have CROSSED, I was trying to order people back, but I think it was wrong to just ensure xeno victory by bombing everybody, even us on the colony side of the riverbank.

I never bombed anyone, simply sent in the mob swarms
As for ensuring a xeno victory, the round was still ongoing last i checked, and its the third time the marines did this, it did NOT give the xenos a victory, its always the same
Rush,lose,retreat,wait,bomb the rasp with nade spam.

Were the orbital strikes not you? Command was saying it was not them. If that wasn't you I apologize for the accusation.

[freemysoul]

The orbital strike was me as Coroneljones had to leave to do something, if I remember correctly NOT a single marine was hit in it. I infact made sure no one was hit. The only "hits" the were the 0/0/0/1000 Flash bombs to scare you off, And I did give you warning via MOTHER twice about them.

However there was one Orbital strike from command, that was on the left flank by the river curve.

No action will be taken.

I have multiple staff claiming it was warranted and multiple players.

Resolved.
