Lordnesh Posted July 24, 2021 Posted July 24, 2021 (edited) BYOND Key: Lordnesh Game ID: cda-djow Player Byond Key/Character name: Hesphos/Frank Pewter Staff Involved: none Did you attempt to adminhelp the issue at the time? If so, what was the known action taken by administration/moderation?: issue was not ahelped Approximate Date/Time: 1800 CDT, 23 July (taken from related IR) Reason for complaint: At round end, moments before entering the shuttle, my Ta, Ryllesc, was shot by the warden with a disruptor. I believe there was not nearly enough justification for such an act, despite originally not thinking much of the incident. Additionally, there is the issue of a warden firing upon a Consular. While they did a very good job throughout the round to establish that they were quite unsettled by my presence, this does not excuse this final act of violence. As I usually do on my Vaurcae Consular, I went around talking to people, and inviting people to have a dialogue over the radio with me : the actual conversation would take place in my office, or somewhere else usually. I don't recall precisely when they first started messaging me, but over the course of several minutes we exchanged over a dozen messages. He was belligerent from the start, but I didn't take it personally, both IC'ly and OOC'ly. I also took the time to engage them in person when I visited security, but they acted in such a way to convey they wanted as little to do with me as possible. Why do I bring this up? Because I believe they will mention this in their reply, and I figured I would address this now, rather than later. After our encounter in security I don't believe I saw them again until reaching red dock where the incident took place. It was at red dock that my Ta offered to help the gardener onto the shuttle (which was an excuse to use the fireman carry that is so popular). So I grabbed the gardener, and picked him up. I then turned around and started walking towards the shuttle when the warden stepped in front of me, yelled, “put him down!” (or something to that effect) and immediately shot me repeatedly. Bear in mind this happened in a matter of seconds. I hadn't originally intended to file a complaint. I hadn't even thought the incident worth remembering until I saw the IR, and realized things had gotten a bit more serious. I then approached a friend, who recommended I talk to an moderator. Which I did. The moderator was Roostercat, and they informed me that this individual has a history of being outwardly hostile towards them, and that I should file a complaint. After taking time to process the information I agreed. Edited August 6, 2021 by Faris
CampinKiller Posted July 24, 2021 Posted July 24, 2021 So, I posted the IR and was informed of what had happened ICly- in addition, I can provide background and why I feel it’s more of an IC problem than one of OOC behavior/pattern. Pewter had earlier in the round expressed his concern with the Ta, due to a koi’s outbreak that had occurred on the previous shift (an extended round). When Kathira collapsed from an overdose mere minutes after the Ta had visited the brig, he felt that it was the Ta that was responsible. Obviously that was not the case and he was admonished for his response, but I feel this contributed to his IC justification for shooting the Ta. Obviously ICly he should not have done so, and will answer for that, but from an OOC standpoint his character had justification due to their own beliefs and prejudices
Faris Posted July 26, 2021 Posted July 26, 2021 @Hesphos When you have the time, kindly give a run down of what happened from your perspective.
Faris Posted August 5, 2021 Posted August 5, 2021 I'll be going forward without the testimony of Hesphos, after speaking with others that were there and reviewing the logs makes it unnecessary. In accordance to witnesses and logs, it seems like the Warden fired at the Ta a single time and the circumstances and interaction around this incident and the round do not seem too egregious to require moderation staff intervention. If they did attack Vaurca and especially Vaurca representatives very often then I encourage you to ahelp it during the round itself in the future. I'm going to mark this as resolved and permit the incident report to progress.
