Game ID: cGv-aaM2

Player Byond Key/Character name: Unionguy/Bishiop Sterling

Staff involved: NA

Reason for complaint:

During this round I late-joined as CMO and was made aware of the fact that Sterling, the shift psychologist, was being arrested for vandalism. He was only being fined, so interruptions to the department would be minimal but at the same time we were hosting the survivors from the previous round's event in the recovery ward. I looked up Sterling's records, which included a number of similar arrests over a short period of time, and my CMO bristled at the idea that Sterling was ignoring possibly traumatized patients to indulge in whatever it is they were doing which led to the arrest. When Sterling came back to the department we spoke in the CMO's office, and I basically told them that I expected them to do their job, to be professional, and that further incidents would result in suspension. They proceeded to argue with me, jumping from excuse to excuse saying they were doing their job, they had other patients (Miguel Garcia), that the survivors didn't need to be looked at right now, ect. I asked if they could show me reports or anything related to the work they claimed to be doing, to which they responded that full psychological notes/reports were not kept in the medical records system, but in another system which I had no access to due to privacy laws.

All of the above is IC context, but it leads to the reason I created this complaint; engaging in LRP behavior and then trying to shield his character ICly behind non-existent systems. I have no issues with characters who cause problems, but you have to deal with the IC consequences when they eventually arrive. Saying that proof exists of your doing your job only in some inaccessible system cuts the legs out of under any meaningful RP we could have. It ignores in-game reality and leaves me only with the option to pull rank and suspend you. When asked about his arrests he attributed it to him being "something of a comedian" but if he's trying to play some kind of psych who heals with laughter it only comes off as annoying at best, and unprofessional/unemployable at worst. In hindsight, I should have ahelped at the time, but instead I'm making this report.

Did you attempt to adminhelp the issue at the time? If so, what was the known action taken by administration/moderation?

No, at the time I thought pulling rank and suspending them was enough. Thinking further on it though, it only addresses the IC events of that round, and it does not address any OOC aspects.

Staff involved:
Reason for complaint: Malicious IR
Approximate Date/Time: Sunday may 24 2026

Fenodyree has talked a lot about how EMPs don't work and demonstrated it in videos on the discord. In a round with combat robots and an enemy IPC he and a few other characters insisted I give them some ion weapons and I didnt, because I didn't think they would work as well as just using normal guns at that point. Then he IRed me and made it all about how an IPC which EMPs basically don't work on at all which he gone on about at length killed a security officer, and it's my fault the security officer got killed because I didn't give him EMPs. He ignored my obvious OOC consideration which is literally like a direct result of shit he said. This is a misuse of the IR system, in my opinion.

Below is a video he posted on the discord.

During the round mentioned, I got really uncomfortable vibes from this player.

Firstly, they were playing a Gadpathurian, and felt like to me that they were really playing up a stereotype as they did, especially the constant use of phrases like, "Oh my good sir," "my friend" and similar.

Secondly, the character openly and intentionally misgendered at least one trans character, though I believe it was two. In any case, the one I know for certain was against @Stripes' Vien Xuan Pham. It was not a one-off use of the phrase, it was a repeated and insistent use of "Sir" even when explicitly told not to. This did lead to an IC confrontation that I was involved in as well, but combined with later incidents, I do feel like it was more than just RP. The second instance I haven't spoken to about mentioning them in this complaint, but they can chime in if they want to.

Thirdly, as I was leaving the round, they said "See ya guwan!" and then proceeded to follow it up with "I really should ask what that means." To be clear, at the time I was playing Mira Tilton, who is a human. "Guwan" is a pretty significant insult, but also one that completely does not apply in the circumstances. It felt like a very targeted, character breaking insult made just to be a cheap shot as I was leaving.

Did you attempt to adminhelp the issue at the time? If so, what was the known action taken by administration/moderation? I ahelped and spoke with Melaria, and below is the ticket.

Additionally, when I learned that it had already been ahelped, I spoke with Stripes and confirmed that she was the one to ahelp and had spoken with Evandorf, 
Approximate Date/Time: Server time: 05:30 2025-08-28

Short version: during an canon event round, Mae Lin as a character engaged in excessive elitism: she attempted to enforce a specific playstyle on the paramedic and stated that it should defer to physicians and herself on all things. There are two parts to this: a needless, security-enforced micromanaging of my paramedic's equipment, and an IR aggressively pursuing an OOC mistake on an obscure mechanic. Mae Lin went to the head of security, and when the head of security refused, the Captain himself over the bag micromanaging. The IR is over this and an obscure mechanical mistake despite both resolution in game (the character affected agreeing not to pursue charges + the Captain agreeing with that) and OOC resolution (the affected player and I agreeing to retcon it- though staff informed us this is no longer an option). She is pursuing the obscure mistake so intensely that the character is IRing the Captain himself.

All the while, she enforced other aspects of elitist play: she cites her friend as 'the best paramedic' (despite the character in question not being that job!), claims to be an authority over other jobs, and chased all of this at the expense of actually engaging with a canon event round.

This is the behavior that drives away new players. It ruthlessly punishes mistakes and any deviations from the in-group meta. This is a game, not real life: characters shouldn't be bullied into following a specific meta, and mechanical errors will happen and deserve some grace, especially when the actual players involved agree to gloss over them.

I think other medical characters leaned into this behavior that round, but I am focusing on Acetrea, as she escalated to the IR.

Long version:
 

Quotes/Screenshots (I can provide screenshot or log form as necessary: I trimmed out anyone else talking for readability)

Mae Lin stating that paramedic characters should completely defer to even the pharmacist. Aside from micromanaging a role which is not her subordinate, this feels like powergaming.

Demanding to inspect my character's equipment (again, as the pharmacist) + commanding their loadout at threat of security involvement.

This gain feels like plain elitism: claiming yourself or friends/members of an in-group to be the best at something and enforcing that method of play on all other players via that self-assigned status. This is especially egregious when the characters in question aren't even playing that job, and leans into powergaming.
 

The other player stating they intended to let it go by gently due to being an OOC error.
 

Regarding the "Blood Shortage"

Throughout this entire interaction, there were no less than: 4 IV stands with O- blood bags in the ETC, 2 IV stands with O- blood in the OR, and 4 more bags of O- blood in the OR closets, on top of the crate of typed blood, and at least one bag of saline. I know this for fact because Adzi showed it all to the Captain in person during the prolonged investigation. It is simply not true that they were "unable to supply the GTR". They also refused over medical net to use any of the stockpile in the ORs. Claiming there was any issue with supply is purely a vaneer for micromanaging of a how another player filled their bag, and escalating into charge-worthy accusations by claiming it was causing critical supply issues.

Let me preface this by saying I’m not really an experienced engineering player (I regularly played it during the Aurora II, so about three years ago or more, with my Horizon engineering rounds coming here-and-there irregularly), with me mostly hanging out in security or medical, so I don’t necessarily have knowledge of what systems and expectations engineers are/should be familiar with.

I spawn in on a new engineer and get called to the lobby, then get intercepted along the way by the CE, Cam Mueller, who tells me he needs to take me down to the lower level to “test my knowledge.” of some systems. I’m not unused to hearing about CEs wanting to “knowledge check” new characters, so I figure I need to go on and show I’m not some hub player who doesn’t know what they’re doing. So I go down and get told to pull open the engine purge valves, being told they’ll put gas into the engines. I have no reason not to believe this – it’s my in-character boss, he seems to be testing me for my knowledge, and have no idea how the thrusters work as a player, so I go along with it. There is a desire, I find, to look as if you know what you are doing in front of your in-character supervisor. We do this to both sets of thrusters, then I get a short speech about how important it is to know atmospherics as an engineer.

Fast forward a bit, shortly after transfer’s been called, and I get told to go to security by an investigator. I walk there, ask what’s going on, some lines are exchanged, and the investigator starts holding me at gunpoint and telling me I’m under arrest for sabotage. This is, understandably, a shock to me and I initially assume there must have been some misunderstanding, like I pulled the wrong valve or something. My radio is taken, the engineering key popped out at the direction of Mueller (per security), and I’m thrown into processing, questioned, then put into permanent holding. I remain in it for the rest of the round.

I play with OOC turned off, so my communications with the player were after this via Discord. I said some things I should not have, and I apologize for those. It was inappropriate for me as a player, let alone as staff. Returning to the matter of the complaint, I don’t really agree with the justification behind the player’s actions. A head of staff wields immense power over their subordinates and is expected to move the round forward, but I don’t believe that’s a good enough reason to have one of your subordinates – who may be a new player – arrested and thrown into security for 20-30 minutes when they’ve done nothing wrong. I was excited, with a new character who seemed to be clicking with the rest of my department – perhaps this was finally the character I needed to break into engineering with a solid, good personality – but that experience, and my agency, was ripped from me by the decision of my head of staff. Not an antagonist head of staff, not an antagonist themselves, but my head of staff, who wanted to get money for disabling the thrusters and needed a “fall guy” for his attempt to drive the round forward. Sabotaging your own ship and blaming one of your subordinates is not something I believe a character would reasonably do for any amount of money as a head of staff. Furthermore, I do not believe the argument of, “my character is racist and nasty,” is enough to justify this. There were two tajara and an unathi in the department when I arrived – why hadn’t he decided to involve one of them in his attempt to drive the round forward? When I first joined this server years ago, I played with antagonist heads of staff and was one of the voices pushing for their removal, which was ultimately successful. This round reminded me of why I, and others, fought so hard for the removal of antagonist heads of staff.

Considering the totality of information, I must ask if this is what we want from a head of staff, a role which we place behind a whitelist in the hopes they’ll be able to direct the round? A player who is taken to security and handcuffed loses all agency, and ordering their radio taken away from them only exacerbates this lack of agency – their round is, in essence, ruined, and their time wasted. It’s nothing a head of staff should do outside of exceptional circumstances, such as if they are an antagonist – a loyalist, for example. Ultimately, with my initial anger at it having faded, I find myself more disappointed in this than anything else. A head of staff should know better.

This round served as a clear example of the issues I have with Vershal Plaz as Chief Medical Officer (CMO).

My primary reference for this role is the CMO wiki page which outlines what a CMO should and should not do.

In this round, Plaz failed to keep the crew informed about the situation and instead assumed the role of a very mechanical paramedic and surgeon. From my character, June Dyer’s (a paramedic) perspective, she was immediately ordered on a rescue mission. After some roleplay and airlock issues, we lazily returned, only to find the horizon overtaken by hostiles. Naturally, Dyer was confused about what was going on.

I noticed Plaz running around in paramedic gear and assumed they were taking on first responder duties in the absence of the designated paramedic. However, there was a window of time where Plaz could have at least briefed the rescue team, including the paramedic, to pull back immediately.

Later, Dyer repeatedly asked Plaz to perform his primary job as a liaison and provide updates on the situation. Initially, he outright refused, then offered vague responses without detail.

Despite the presence of a paramedic, Plaz continued to act as a first responder. While this could be justified, he could have been more communicative about it. For an hour, it was incredibly difficult to get Plaz to engage in any way other than helping with patients.

Meanwhile, the medical bay descended into chaos. A surgeon decided to leave the bay and shot a warform, believing it was about to attack him. This could have been avoided if the acting CMO had been coordinating instead of performing mechanically heavy tasks.

While I understand many officers died despite Plaz’s help, that is part of the game. It’s not solely his responsibility to extract them from enemy fire and stabilize patients, especially when the crew is confused or assisting antagonists.

In conclusion, I do not believe Vershal Plaz is fulfilling the role of CMO effectively:

• He does not delegate the workload and instead silently performs surgeries and rescues, using ORs and paramedic equipment sparingly.
• He refuses to communicate between command, security, and medical, failing to inform his subordinates about the situation.

Additionally, I believe the following concerns should be addressed, though they are not directly related to this round:

• Plaz’s transition from paramedic to CMO is questionable. Before assuming the CMO role, he had to retcon his backstory to become a surgeon. However, he still uses paramedic equipment sparingly in violent rounds.
• His asocial tendencies are concerning. I’ll ask Penri’s player to clarify their character’s interactions with Plaz in this thread. 

I don't have any problems with the player, but the character is not performing well as CMO. Plaz could serve as a great surgeon or paramedic instead. Please don't take any offence towards yourself. 

Screenshots explanation: 

1. Dyer asking for the CMO to explain what's happening.
2. Plaz refuses to do so.
3. Plaz explains the situation briefly after Dyer repeats her question. 

Amy Veir broke their foot and started pressuring the The machinist into fixing. After talking in looc that its not allowed they kept pressuring them and complaining about it in looc, Ic and ooc about it.

They then start attacking me in OOC about how I should not say anything because I'm not a admin

They kept talking more in OOC that a surgeon should join to fix them and over all kept being aggressive and complaining about the whole deal that the mechanist should be allowed to fix their bones because no one else could. Also talking about how others are going to die now because they can't do surgery because the machinist can't fix them.

I'm not the best at making these so if there is anything I need to add or post let me know.

Quick edit - For the record, I'm not expecting any action taken now. I am following the advice given to me by server staff after the previous incident, and I'd like there to be an official record of this behavior in case there is a next time.

Game ID: Across the course of the last month. However, for this complaint cvX-cKIx, and cvX-anUZ
 

Player Byond Key/Character name: lofiai.art
 

Staff involved:
Melariara for a log from the round cvX-cKIx
Yonnimer for round cvX-anUZ

Reason for complaint: Lofiai for the past month has demonstrated a pattern of OOC disrespect, tantrums, and poor IC behavior which I believe is unfitting for someone who claims to have “learned alot in the past year” and wants to “demonstrate that they can be a reasonable player in the community”.

In extended round: cvX-anUZ, Lofi’s character, Daniel Richter, was verbally hostile to several crewmembers and attacked two officers with an active baton who were trying to detain and charge him for an assault he committed earlier. At the round’s end, Lofiai was hostile over OOC chat, saying people who would write incident reports need to “get a life”. I took this as the player believing actions taken against them ICly by other characters means someone dislikes them OOCly, and that rather than compromising, fighting to the death is more acceptable for someone who holds a job aboard the flagship of the SCC than filing an after shift report to CCIA and contesting the charge would be.

In extended round: cvX-cKIx, Lofi’s character, Daniel Richter, who the night before was the offender in a rather heavy Incident Report, joined and proceeded to act antagonistic over the common channel to anyone that would engage with him. After around ten to twenty minutes, Daniel Richter went to cryo, climbed in, and said “Flacid” over the common channel in response to Armand Gessler’s reply to an engineer about the thrusters running at half-power. I took this as lofi joining the round, as the sole member of security, to stir up trouble, and when he didn’t get the action he was looking for, quickly leaving the round instead.

The two cases, especially from round: cvX-anUZ, demonstrate that Lofiai has likely not changed or learned anything from their time on the server and list of warnings or previous ban. Attacking players OOCly is unacceptable and breaks rule 1 of this and most SS13 servers.
 

Did you attempt to adminhelp the issue at the time? If so, what was the known action taken by administration/moderation? Yes, in round cvX-anUZ, my ahelp was answered by Yonnimer. I am unaware of the action taken.
For round cvX-cKIx, I contacted Melariara to confirm the “Flacid” comment, for this complaint.

Approximate Date/Time: 9/30/2024, both rounds.

Basically during a vampire round I had geared up with armor and weapons toward the end and snuck into the maints tunnel behind the brig to try and convert the arrested people and free them. When I walked in I didn't see anyone so I walked further to the sec hallway and saw two officers and started typing to offer a trade deal. Instantly was met with security comms of me and my location, along with gunfire while I was in the middle of wielding and aiming my gun at Rakka. Zilrq joined in on the gunfight which I don't blame them since they would've heard gunfire and gone in to help. I had mentioned over radio comms earlier about asking for veil followers to reveal themselves to save themselves from death, but I don't think it would warrant a shoot on sight. Maybe I just missed out on sec comms but it felt weird to walk in to be greeted with lethal ballistics while I'm trying to type and even aim my gun as antag.

ss13-chatlog-20240622-063603.html

This was bizarre and I've been ahelped/talked to for doing roughly the same thing previously. Given all I saw when I got there was all of our security gone and 5 greimorians about, I tried to ask ICly what occurred and then ahelped to see if we could get some further info. My thought process is, with only 3 security present and the ship having been assumed to be vented/a derelict and thus not worth checking out, why send anyone at all, especially when there had previously been a threat on board and we were so understaffed? Doesn't this just needlessly risk life and limb?

Apologies if all of this is a bit jumbled or disorganized. It wasn't at all expected from my perspective, and I barely had time to adjust.
Did you attempt to adminhelp the issue at the time? If so, what was the known action taken by administration/moderation? 
Yeah. Here's the contents of our ticket.

Approximate Date/Time: 04/29/2024, about 5 PM EST?

DISCLAIMER: I swear I don't mean any of this in bad blood, I'm not trying to get anyone in trouble, but I was told to make a character complaint so a proper investigation could be opened just in case this was out of line. I said in the ticket and I'll say it here, I got there about 20 minutes until the end of the round, I know literally nothing.

Afterwards, some days later, I was informed about the deadchat stuff. ² It immediately bothered me on the basis that it was clear he wasn't complaining about the character in a real sense, Sasha is a cunt! That's the point. If you wanna complain about that go for it, but then we get into "a bit weird that he's 50" and "he's zavod" as if either thing matters. I was also told he does this to other characters³. 

Then, today, he just seems to be at it again. I concede this is far more minor, simply saying "RD shouldn't do xenobot,"⁴ but it's just getting on my nerves and frankly he's just being a dick at this point. I don't really know if any of this is serious enough to warrant a complaint, but I feel like that kind of pessimism is horrendous and if he's hounding other people for just existing as well, I don't think that's great for the community.

TLDR;  As minor is it may be, I feel like Muko Suand is breaking rule one; don't be a dick.

Did you attempt to adminhelp the issue at the time? If so, what was the known action taken by administration/moderation? 
I tried to ahelp it during the round cs1-aVIV, however it was getting late and after waiting 20-30 minutes I logged off without a reply. Mel DMd me after and said to make a player complaint.
Approximate Date/Time: as this spans multiple days, all dates and times are attached to the screenshots

I'm not about to mog someone for not being able to parse the 2D spaceman pixel sprites, so I thought no harm, no foul.

Unfortunately, I didn't collect screenshots during the following times, as the incidents where the characters interacted are relatively few and I thought they would be one-off incidents. Deshan Baral continued to misgender Meret, after being ICly and OOCly corrected that yes, this character is a woman. It was starting to annoy me, but this escalated into what I would call suspect after Fluffy did this on a different character, Mike Lenivier. Meret was being rude, as she often is ICly, and in one of Lenivier's emotes, Fluffy referred to her with "he". This irritated me, but I didn't recall off the top of my head that Fluffy had been corrected about this character's gender before, and I didn't want to ahelp over what at the time seemed a fairly small transgression. I told Fluffy in LOOC that I didn't appreciate them going on to misgender my character in emotes, which are not a character's IC thoughts. If I recall correctly, he responded that "Meret" seemed like a masculine name owing to not having an equivalent in Italian.

I was suspicious but decided to let it go, until the events of a recent round I was observing, where Deshan Baral was interacting with the character Levi Kersaavi.

Levi's pronouns on their examine text had been changed to "they/them" for a couple weeks (I think, it might have been longer), and they'd been "Levi Kersaavi" instead of "Lana Kersaavi" for a few months. Baral had interacted with the character as "Levi" before; it would be basically impossible not to know their name in their records and used in public was "Levi". With all the combat logs and non-involved character dialogue excised, here's the exchange:
 

At which point I decided to bite the bullet and make this complaint; I did not ahelp, as it was the two minutes before round-end.

Even after what I've described prior, I'd still like to assume that Fluffy's comments were just ignorant and not malicious. I know that not everybody is up-to-date on the climate of gender and sexuality in the modern day, but these incidents have stacked up, and it does not reflect well on him. I understand some of this complaint is hearsay, and not really "actionable". Regardless of the outcome of this complaint, I'd like to make it clear that this is not really a good thing to do or say, ICly or OOCly.
Did you attempt to adminhelp the issue at the time? If so, what was the known action taken by administration/moderation?: I did not, owing to the first few incidents being relatively minor, the "misgendering Levi" being at the very end of the aforementioned round, and the de-pronouning PR being discussed by headstaff.
Approximate Date/Time: N/A

Oddbomber3678 (as Mitsuki) and and unknown player (as Song Eun-seo), spawned as Konyang pirates. I found out via deadchat that at an earlier point they had hopped a fence and looted the Konyang Telecomms Outpost, before taking their shuttle to Point Verdant, which had spawned. At face value, this may have been acceptable - but then once in Point Verdant, an ostensibly large city, they opted to duo storm the Konyang Police HQ, take the LT hostage, and then gun down a crowd of responding 5-Cheung and other civilians/army personnel after looting the police armory.

The ghost spawner for the Konyang Pirate role says this:

Highlight mine.

I would say, quite obviously, assaulting the Police Headquarters of an entire prefecture with just two people because of dead hour/a lack of the ability to accurately represent the actual amount of police officers that would have been there/etc is acting as an antagonist, unequivocally. The Konyang Pirates are not Traitors, Revolutionaries, or Changelings. The rules we have, specifically the 'sane and mature character rule', are not exempt from them as they are antagonists whose job it is to drive the round. A Bridge Crewman from the Horizon got swept up in the whole mess, Samga Kuhlan, and was radioing back to the ship for security - in essence dragging the Horizon into this, and diverting attention away from actual antagonists, in theory. It was a Vampire round, and he died in Point Verdant, but had there been other antagonists, this long overshadowed them.

I make this complaint because the guidance in the role's description is very, very clear, and it's hard not to take 'having the police superintendent hostage/raiding the police armory/shooting up half of Point Verdant' as anything but antagonistic, and thus a flagrant violation of that guideline. I would not like to see this sort of action or conduct become more prevalent here; it strains the bounds of credulity and the suspension of disbelief, and so long as we have players choosing to be antags, diverting and subtracting attention from them is a net negative. Otherwise, if this is what the staff team want from this ghost role, then perhaps a revision of the guideline on its spawn menu should be made. Whatever the case, that is the reason I make this complaint.

During the round, Bobby Kapoor spent the round essentially greytiding: Getting repeatedly drunk, asking the pharmacy for ethylredoxrazine, getting drunk again, throwing themselves off a railing and making veiled death threats ICly and generally behaving without much consideration for the setting. Doing this while also having a character with a dark skin tone + large afro and getting mad at someone for "Snitching" is also fairly spicy, I think, when paired with everything else.

Sorry for the lack of logs n' screenies, I hadn't considered to take them and I'm about to fall asleep as I make this.

Approximate Date/Time: 2/3/2024 12:30 AM~ CST

Melvyn Pettersen constantly puts down other doctors who are his superiors, making crude jokes over common, and even upsetting other heads of staff. In one case as my Surgeon (that I sadly don't have screenshots of) an antag(s) had put a few of the Crew into medbay and they all needed surgery. Medbay was understaffed at the time (just me, Pettersen, a Pharmacist, and a First Responder) and I was working on someone with around 2-4 Arterial Bleeds. Pettersen proceeded to criticize my way of Surgery from the opposite OR table while he worked on his own patient, telling me that I shouldn't be using hemostat because it would "save time". I proceeded to let him know I was not going to not hemostat bleeds on my patient with multiple ABs. In the same round, he shoved me out of the way of a patient who was on the OR table (switching his character with mine) and proceeded to tell me that it was his patient. I just let him do this because we had other patients who needed surgery and I didn't think it was a good time to start an argument. I don't recall the date for this occurrence, but it was the first time I'd had a bad round with him.

The second time I (and the whole ship) had a bad moment with Pettersen was when he made a distasteful joke about the Violet Dawn. Leo Barnes had asked why the holodeck didn't have a Mars option, as that's where he is from, and Melvyn replied with a joke about how there were concerns about "plasma flooding" the deck. Even Captain Alessia Marino was upset about it.

In the same round, he got onto Executive Officer Ebele Mambwe's radar by harassing his assistant (which I believe was a pAI). I don't know exactly what was said/done to the pAI, I just know he was told to watch himself over Medical comms.

He tends to make quite a few "plasma" jokes over common.

I've heard instances of Melvyn Pettersen making fun of Amelia Dresden walking with a cane, though at the time, I didn't understand the context.

In this past round, he berated Amelia right in front of her while speaking Freespeak about the surgical drill misfiring while operating on a Vaurca Miner. He proceeds to say that he knows she can hear him but doesn't care. During the surgery, he says to "feel free to gut [the Vaurca]", and tries to act like he's above his station, saying that Amelia should step aside, insinuating that he is better than her while she is a Physician and he is an Intern.

At the end of this last round, he bought a Sol Navy Junior Officer Uniform and a Ceremonial Sword (that he stabbed himself with to prove to the XO he should be able to have it on his person), along with an Interstellar Aid Corps Armband. It was said by IAC Darwin that it was oxymoronic that he wore the two together and CMO Sampio called it mismatched and said it was a good way to get yourself shanked. Amelia added on that if he did get shanked that it would be by "people who served and hate Sol". He proceeded to bring up the Vaurca surgery once again.

Overall, I don't think this is how an Intern should act toward those who are meant to be his supervisors as well as his bosses, and his disrespectful behavior would've likely gotten him fired by now.

They sent this message over common after I RP'd with an Unathi chef about not liking what the chef made (I play Karyn):

[Common] Virgo Panahi yells, "HEY, THAT FUCKING KAREN IN MEDICAL SHITTALKING THE CHEFS!!! KILL YOURSELF NOW!!!"

That's not something that should be said to people, RP or not - I'd never met this person before ICly or OOCly. And it unfortunately affected my mood irl.

By the time I loaded into the round, crew transfer had been called, but in the leadup to round end, I witnessed progressively poor conduct by Baldos who was acting as that round's changeling. Earlier, he had consumed a security officer who was a Unathi in what the player described in deadchat as them 'waiting until he roleplayed and then dragging him off into maintenance', and then this led up to the changeling inhabiting the body of said Unathi. The Head of Security, Tokash, had died, and the changeling in question was trying to gain access to the forensics lab to get his body.

They had also somehow acquired a laser rifle and combat armor, presumably from the officer they killed who had been injured fighting greimorians. Either way, they then proceeded to whip out their laser rifle and shoot the security players in the legs (the limb meta), blowing them off before running in with the armblade to finish off the organic investigator, as the other officer was a shell. I mention this here, despite the staff's incredulous assertation that the 'limb meta' does not exist (it was a bannable offense just a year or two ago), because it is simply the precipice to the powergaming displayed.

There was disconnect between the time the first shots were fired and the murders. Enough time, several minutes, for help to be called. Nobody else in security was armed. They had to go to the crew armory, and as medical and the singular cadet with a rifle appeared, the changeling (in a Unathi's body) turned on adrenaline sacs, dragged the still alive but wounded investigator behind him, and sprinted at mach speed 10 through the ship because of how adrenaline sacs + Unathi sprint work together, taking them into maintenance on the far other side of the ship in a matter of seconds. This is the second instance of gross, inexcusable powergaming.

Adrenaline sacs have always been a problem child ability, but combined with the Unathi sprint, which in essence makes the ling move at supersonic speeds with absolutely no real consequences or way to counter it, with the classic 'drag someone behind me at full speed into the tunnels', it is my opinion that this is inexcusable powergaming. Baldos is antag often enough to be fully aware of this combination and I have no reservations to the idea he chose to do this on purpose. Antagonist players, or any player, really, have an expectation not to go out of their way to abuse mechanics in this fashion. Had it been short bursts of speed like normal Unathi sprint, fine, but keeping it on for protracted periods of time to move at such a level nobody else could ever hope to achieve is a gross abuse of their status in the round and utterly self-serving and selfish.

When the round was over, as this escalation all happened post-transfer vote, they also said in OOC that they wanted to go horrorform, break a window to space, and then just fly off into the overmap to make sure 'nobody could feel like they won', acknowledging that 'security had been destroyed'. This is also evidence, in my opinion, of a self-serving selfish desire to 'win' rather than create an interesting narrative. They easily slaughtered people who could not even realistically pose a threat to them and then with their frags secured wanted to jump off the ship and abdicate their responsibility to create a narrative so they could feel secure in their victory, while the rest of the crew barely even knew anything was up until the crew armory was opened.

I have had problems with Baldos' antag play in previous rounds, but I cannot recall anything more recent to add onto this complaint. I personally think this changeling round is a prime example of extremely poor antagonist play, and I would like it examined by staff. Just because game mechanics allow you to do something does not necessarily mean you should, and permanent Unathi sprint is egregious and obvious enough that someone who plays antag as often as Baldos should know better.

Did you attempt to adminhelp the issue at the time? If so, what was the known action taken by administration/moderation?: Yes, spoke to Bear about my concerns about Rawmoodles, and the possibility of them being spoken to by staff. I was encouraged to make a player-complaint instead regarding the situation.
Approximate Date/Time: Ongoing problem, no concrete dates.

------

I've watched Samson's numerous traitor rounds and they routinely leave a lot to be desired. Primarily, their antag rounds boil down to doing something minor, should it be stealing something or shooting someone and then escaping into space. From there, the round turns into Samson running from security and commonly misunderstanding game mechanics, then dying. From my interactions with Samson, and my time spent watching Samson, he doesn't try to have any gimmicks or interactions with anyone in the crew. Instead, it feels like him prioritizing 'beating security/winning' over anything else, a feeling which isn't helped by the fact that he will commonly hop into lockers at the slightest hint of trouble. Every time he is an antag (which seems to be very often), he tries something very similar to his other rounds with nothing new or engaging being thrown in. 

In the round that I ahelped the situation, crT-dtL9, he had taken the traitor powers that allowed him to teleport, which could be fun, if it was used to create something interesting. Instead, he used it to teleport endlessly to evade security, creating a segment straight out of Looney-Toons where he would teleport from one locker to the next to hide in. This isn't engaging, and all it does is force security on a goose-chase for a character. This, as mentioned, is quite routine for his antag rounds. Again, there are no attempts to interact with the crew, and interactions with security are also a bit silly as a lot of his discussions with officers or investigators end up being very goofy.

I've aware of Samson apparently being new, but it may be good for them to step back from antag roles currently - at least until they can get more familiarity with the server, and a better grasp on playing antag.
