[Resolved] Player Complaint - Valkrae

[Vulcenus]

BYOND Key: Vulcenus
Game ID: b8D-cJLu
Player Byond Key/Character name: Valkrae
Staff involved: None
Reason for complaint: Thralling without/bare-minimum RP. I was approached by their character and their thralls, greeted by "Hi, Monday" and got flashed and thralled in a flash. I was then ordered to eliminate the Head of Security and that was all the interaction we've had. I think this was not cool.
Did you attempt to adminhelp the issue at the time? If so, what was the known action taken by administration/moderation? No, it was roughly round end and I was busy following the orders of their Vampire, trying to eliminate Petra Volvalaad.

Hi, I am the one in question.

I'll keep it rather simple, and short.

Round was coming to an end, and I was making my grand move. Could I have added a bit more flair, and interaction between it? Probably, but I was already lagging to the point where combat was a no-go for me, and I figured in the brief interludes between lag/not lag, I could have another fighter. 

My reasoning was that, because Volvalaad had been increasingly hostile towards members of Security, they would be more than willing to assist me in getting rid of him.

TL;DR:

Crew transfer shuttle was enroute, wanted to speed things up a bit, figured that since it was round end it would be okay.

If it was really a matter of lag, no biggie. I just wanted to adress this since I think it is/was a running thing, as a previous changeling round with your Tajaran had a very limited conversational approach, too. The problem I've got isn't the reasoning behind "why" to kill Petra Volvalaad, but rather getting flashed and thralled in a matter of seconds with only a brief greeting. You did proceed to do the same thing for the next security officer, too.

That's a fair point to bring up, and I really have no excuse other than I didn't think I had the time to RP before I was inevitably ganked by the encroaching loyal Security Department.

Which was you, August, and Volvalaad. I didn't really see the opportunity to give more than a basic greeting at the time, but I'll try and be a bit better with those roles in the future.

And, to give an example of the lag, I had D/Ced at least twice on the walk from Cargo to Security, and my only real 'movement' was in spikes of 5-10 second intervals. Which was the interval I used to try and quickly pull you into the group, in order to deal with the rest of Security.

Well, I don't really have anything else to bring forward, and I don't really want to push forward for a punishment given the player already acknowledged the situation and how it can rub people off. I would've preferred to handle it in-game through a ticket without making such a big fuss, but we didn't really have the time.

Could be archived, honestly.

Can confirm the lag, they DCed before and wrote about them in Looc

Well then. Archives it is.
