Player/Character Complaint: Kaleb Rasam

[Dark1Star]

BYOND Key: Dark1Star

Game ID: Honestly any round Kaleb Rasam plays on, you just have to see an average science round with him to realise it pretty quickly

Player Byond Key/Character name: Kaleb Rasam (Ckey: Sgtmind)

Staff involved: I have been thinking of A-Helping, but up-until now I didn't, I recently A-Helped at the end of the round and ReadthisnamePlz asked me to make a complaint, which I am doing so now.

Reason for complaint:

Sheer Powergaming, Metagaming, NON BELIVEABLE CHARACTER. I have been meaning to make a complaint for a while now, but I didn't in hopes that he would improve, from LOOC tips and help, and just general experience on playing in the server. Sadly, I haven't seen an improvement. More of a decline really. Where do I start... I'll say the first time I met Kaleb ICly, as my Robotocist John Normandy. It was a bit later in the round, and we had gotten materials from mining, so I had Kaleb come to me  and go "Hey, can you build me a Stealth RIG?" and I said "No, we don't have the research up." he goes away, five minutes later, "I bumped the levels up, how about now?" I said "No we can't" and in return he said "Can't, or wont?". That was my first round with him.

Forward more in to the future, I was a ghost one round, appeared to be secret, no current alerts or anything, code blue I think, anyways, he asks the Robotocist at the time for a Combat RIG, in which in turn, the Robotocist builds for him and Kaleb Rasam somehow knows how to use a military grade/style RIG suit, as a Scientist. I would understand as a Robotocist, you work with RIGs all the time, but a Scientist? A bit much, AMI RIG sure, he also had a energy gun attached, and a taser, plus a bunch of other modules.

Forward to a quite recent round, it was Ninja/Traitor, and we were told that Kaleb has a Hazard RIG, we walk over, aim laser rifles at him, and tell him to take off the RIG, which he did without harm, thankfully. We commendeer the suit because the station was falling apart, I put the suit on and, would you look at that? Hazard RIG and Energy Gun, I ask him, how does he know how to use a Hazard RIG? he just responds with, "Frontier Baby!" Whatever that means.

Fast forward to today, ReadthisnamePlz's Event round with Sol, Science was taken over, blown up, instead he asks a member of command, to allow him in to science because he needs to get something, in which I told him no, we are evacuating under the orders of Sol, he complies, we get to the Red Dock, and then he starts to go on about how we can easily fight them with a well placed bomb he somehow ALSO knows how to build, ovbiously ICly I screamed at him for being stupid, as we were taken over by a Sol RIG Squad, six of them in fact. I told him how they are almost immune to bombs, he still pressed on how we kill their families in their sleep, etc etc. Near the end of the round he asks security for a gun, saying he is TRAINED in how to use a laser rifle, I take the rifle off him as he is just a scientist, as we get to the Odin with guns lying about, he picks up an energy gun, I take that off him, he then picks up a sol rifle, saying he also knows how to use it, and I take that off him, even the Odin guards were getting tired of him.

To TD;DR info, Kaleb knows how to, Pilot, security and military grade RIGs and use the weapon systems, he knows how to use military grade combat rifles and laser rifles that security use, he also, knows how to make bombs, he is also a very unbeliable character and every time I see him it ruins the overall... atmosphere. When you play science with him, you can tell just from the way he acts and talks, he's very power gamey, oh and he also knows well... I say "knows" he uses Telescience, all though fails a lot.

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

Approximate Date/Time: Any round Kaleb Rasam is Scientist

@Alberyk and I will be taking this. We would like to get a round ID or two to find specific instances of bad behavior. A comment from @Sgtmind would also be useful.

I believe one of the IDs was for Reads sol invasion event, which was b26-abPQ IIRC.

Hello

I am not sure how to say this without sounding like an asshole, and I will address each of them.

powergaming: I’ll be completely honest, i am playing here first and foremost to have fun, I have been trying to reduce the powergaming but half the fun of R&D is having tons of overpowered equipment.

Metagaming: I am going to try to work on reducing this 

Poor RPing: I have been trying for a while to work on this character more and at least make him less trigger happy, I did not however know that it was this bad, I genuinely thought I was improving.

i will speak on this more later, sorry for the poor grammar, writing this on a phone.

@Dark1Star Okay, so the logs are from another round since neither of you two are in that round you posted. Please try to find one that shows the behavior you described.

@Sgtmind Waiting for your follow up on this one if you want to still post it. It's usually preferred to have a civilised discussion about this.

Okay it's me again. Closing this player complaint and letting you know that the player in question was handled. Next time make sure to provide proper evidence as it helps us out a lot and makes the entire process faster.
