Character Complaint - Oliver Neely


Recommended Posts

Posted

BYOND Key: CourierBravo
Game ID: cs8-derA
Player Byond Key/Character name:  Oliver Neely
Staff involved: N/A
Reason for complaint: LRP Behavior
Regularly acting in a clownish behavior, along with being struggling to do seemingly basic engineering work. Spent 15 minutes attempting to repair the captains office, only to leave it more broken than he found it.

Did you attempt to adminhelp the issue at the time? If so, what was the known action taken by administration/moderation?: No, I was doing other stuff in round at the time. I was too focused on the round to ahelp.
Approximate Date/Time: roughly 40 minutes into round, around 2:30pm PST?

Staff Involved: N/A

Oliver spent most of the round wearing a fat suit, and later a cardborg box, while on the job. I'm not sure what if any engineering help he gave, I just remember seeing him in the bar frequently, seeming to pester the patrons and bartender.

can you give me more context about the captain's office situation? What lead up to it? What else was going on?

Around halfway through the round, a call came in over the comms about some damages in the captain's office, so I volunteered to take a look. The atmos alarms were pinging and every window/door had shutters over them. Some of the window shutters were behind objects, so I had to unwrench some filing cabinets and a table to be able to reach. I tried to unwrench a display case, but that ended up breaking it instantly, which was not my intention. I was having trouble fixing the atmospherics, couldn't find any leak, so I asked for help on discord, which lead to it getting fixed slower than expected.

I’m not sure why you're drawing parallels between goofing around in the bar at the start of anther round, to me having difficulty repairing atmospherics. In the second round you've mentioned after me and the other engineer had set up the supermatter, thrusters, shields and RCON, you kind of run out of things to do as an engineer until something breaks. Usually while waiting for an engineering problem to arise, I'll goof around, which I haven't had gotten any OOC complaints about before. Everyone in the bar seemed to be enjoying themselves, can you tell me exactly what issue you took with my roleplay?

It was a Jockeys round, and I late joined. When I came in, about 40 minutes or so into the round(?) the captains office was depressurized. Security characters in round were less than helpful in providing the information that the captains office was broken in to, but that's largely irrelevant to this outside 'what happened'. I called up engineering, and Neely was the one who responded. He probed some questions, what was broken, and what he'd need to fix it. I knew what was wrong, but the character I played at the time is a bridge crewman. She wouldn't know what he'd need to fix those windows. He clarified that he only had two hands to carry things, so he wanted to know what he'd need so he didn't have to make multiple trips. I asked if he had a backpack, surely he can put things in there. He said something to the effect of "oh I can't use it, I have my lunch in there." I told him to figure it out.

I then check cameras just to make sure there's no carp, but the room is dark, so I pass that on. I observe him break into the office to do the repairs, and leave to do other things. I cant quite remember if I checked on him via cameras much, but I do remember him stating over radio, "I left the room more broken than I found it, but its pressurized again." I look inside, and I see one of the glass cases is shattered.

I know that the glass cases not being well implemented and the filing cabinets not being able to be put back together isn't PrutteHans fault. However, I think its a reasonable expectation for a fully fledged engineer to be able to assess a room and repair it without breaking more things.

As stated. Your character acts incredibly immature, and I find it both immersion breaking and unreasonable for an adult to do while on the clock. I'd be singing a completely different tune about wearing a fat suit and a cardboard robot head for most of the shift if you were off duty. I can't speak for any of the other players involved in the second round, but I did not enjoy seeing it. I can't imagine the others did, either, so I made this complaint.

I'd like to tack on, I don't like to say much in the on server OOC about someones character to avoid dogpiling possibly happening. Nor on Discord. I think the forums is just the best format to voice a concern, because of its ease of moderation.
This complaint isn't made with some kind of malicious intent or to get you banned or something. I'm voicing my concern, so the moderation team can decide if its unfounded or not. And decide a course of action from there.

Since a couple people who are tangentially involved at best have been posting here, please only post if you are involved. Seeing someone once or twice anecdotally without round IDs is not being involved. If you still think you might be involved, message bear and ask for permission to post, but this is not a public thread for feedback and the peanut gallery

Having spent some time on this we have decided there is not enough here to warrant calling a character LRP. I'd advise to take it easy on the semi-memey behaviour and remember that you are in a setting where your character is in public and at work. While some of these shenanigans may be amusing few would be willing to go that far in a corporate setting. Beyond that, it is always advised to ahelp these issues in round regardless of what your char may be up to so that the entire context can be looked at by staff.

Unless there is anything else I will be locking and closing this complaint at the end of tomorrow.
