Bottom post of the previous page:

Honestly I'm just being tongue-in-cheek and pointing it out for fun rather than any malice on my part by this point, so I hope nobody takes my comment(s) as a negative thing. After reading throught the comments I can legit see both sides of the debate now - and I'm only pushing it for debate really, rather than stirring the pot.

Some great answers and replies in this thread from both sides, so I do appreciate it.

As for me, I think on low pop I'll stick to theft objectives and bugging items and killing pets. That said, if I get chased or attacked, in my mind they're valid salad for a bit of the old ultra-violence though. And if I get the chance I'll chuck them in medbay or at least somewhere semi-visible.

So yeah, best of both worlds. I hope nobody takes my posts as anything but a discussion. I was a bit annoyed in the moment, but now I'm just happy to see all sides.

A lone antagonist is completely allowed to do as they please, so it's equally fair to hold them accountable for their behaviour if they decide to do something in bad faith.
there is nothing "bad faith" about literally playing the fucking game

you know what you sound like right now? You sound like a dude I ran into in syschat in Elite Dangerous a while back.
There was a story event going on, a war in a particular system that would decide the current plot arc. Players had to go out to conflict zones in that system and score kills for their side.
Some dude showed up in open mode - the one where you can just meet other players with no restrictions, as opposed to private group or solo - and went to a CZ.
There was another player on the opposing side. He joined anyway. That player immediately saw a hollow red pip on the radar, assessed them as a threat, and blew them out of the sky.
The exploded player proceeded to bitch for about an hour in system chat about this dude shooting at him.
His reasoning: "HE KNEW I WAS ANOTHER PLAYER, WHY DIDN'T HE JUST STICK TO FARMING NPCS?????"
Unsurprisingly, literally everyone else, PvPer and PvEer alike, was like "you went to a warzone in open what the fuck did you expect, for other people NOT to fight in the war?"
Ma'am, we have rules and headmin rulings declaring certain behaviours ingame (and out of game, but that's not the topic here) as good faith and bad faith verbatim, so maybe avoid sweeping generalizations like that if you don't wish to look obtuse. Even certain solo antag activity is restricted by the rules in favour of a more pleasant server experience.

Also with your Elite Dangerous example, this is this, and that is that. I haven't played low pop for years, so personally, it's not my problem. But I've seen how those rounds go, and can understand the frustration of people having to wait to enjoy a game because someone with main character syndrome decided to start a fire he cannot put out. This is a community based game and will continue to be so. That being said, I'd rather this be fixed via just admins being on during deadpop hours rather than an actual policy change, but I get how dull and unrealistic it is to ask admins to do that.
This is my second headmin term, scree is based and always has good opinions when he posts here.

Don't ma'am him.

bad faith isn't doing your literal objectives in lowpop. bad faith would be to choose to purge a 10-pop round in LRP where you have no antag restrictions.
one of the biggest issues ss13 has as a whole is that people think they're entitled to an entire round every time, and when they die they don't go "ok, time to do something else" but instead bitch about the fact they have to wait until next round
i've myself felt pretty upset when i joined a round and got killed off 10 minutes in, because i know it means waiting up to an hour to play again. it's frustrating, but that's all it is.
you just got unlucky and got people who instead of going "oh man this sucks" and logging off, they decided to go off on you.

And here I am, posting here late. I was going to post here to show I saw this thread earlier, but I suppose something caught my attention and I forgot. I again apologize for the situation you had to go through, and I am glad that at least semi-thoughtful discussions are occurring here.

Dude, you literally have nothing to apologise for. Not only did you keep the peace but you were reassuring in how you dealt with it.
Appreciated.
All the best.

Yep I shot two people that round. A captain who almost blew my cover - Captain survived after calling me out on comms.

So the other antags openly admit they killed their targets and greentexted. But I kill ONE of their meta-buddies, I get shit on.

No idea, but judging by their reaction to me killing one of them, I can only assume so.
