Our investigation is done. We focused on three key issues in this complaint: OOC attitude, the sacrifice rune spam and the conversions. The rest seems fine - the brig fight, for instance, was fine as it seems like standard escalation to me.
The OOC attitude was found to be a nonissue by Goret. It didn't look that heated.
The sacrifice rune spam was handled in round.
I looked into the conversions, especially Derrick's. Here's what I found:
SAY: Alvin Mildred: (Ceti Basic) Mens.
SAY: Alvin Mildred: (Ceti Basic) Help me with something?
SAY: Derrick Mens: (Ceti Basic) What is it?
SAY: Alvin Mildred: (Ceti Basic) I need help carrying something.
SAY: Alvin Mildred: (Ceti Basic) Can you come assist.
SAY: Derrick Mens: (Ceti Basic) ...carrying what?
SAY: Alvin Mildred: (Ceti Basic) I just need to carry something...
SAY: Alvin Mildred: (Ceti Basic) Dream sign ''Evil sealing talisman''!
After this, Derrick was stunned, cuffed, mouth taped and converted. This is not proper antagonist roleplay. We are not here to win, we're here to roleplay and these actions aren't conducive to roleplay. At this point the cult hadn't gone loud, so there was no proper escalation and there was definitely not enough roleplay given to the victim. A warning will be handed out for this behaviour.
In essence, this round was really bad. It happens. Not every round can be great, there will be some bad ones. All we can do is reflect on how to make them better. I am sure we all learned something from this one.
