Pretty nice guy, enjoyed every interaction with him I've had.

Just had a pretty unpleasant conversation with Delaron during an Ahelp. I had ahelped over an unruly borg I had locked down, while I was in the right in the situation Delaron came across as very short and rude, after we clarified they were trying to give advice and not paint me as the issue here, I told them I found how they framed their advice disrespectful, they responded passive aggressively and we ended the convo there.

End of round cut the conversation short and I apologize for that. I however stand by my advice and take on the situation. I felt it was warranted to share my professional capacity take in an effort to improve the overall gameplay going forward. I often advocate not inferring tone or additional context in ahelps, as it not a good medium for such (similar to most emails) There was no disrespect or passive aggressiveness on my end and any you inferred was not my intention. This was clearly stated during the ahelp so I also did not want to belabor the point and continue the conversation into the next round. I can not apologize in good faith for something you interpreted as it creates an environment of eggshell walking but I can relate to your frustration and make efforts in the future to be clearer to avoid coming off as disrespectful or passive aggressive. So in the end I thank you for providing me this accounting.

Seems like an ok dude, but give me a note without checking the logs and made it sound like I was griefing, which is completely untrue. Blamed me for something I didn't even do and framed the note as if I was a griefer, which is annoying. So I've appealed it.

EDIT: I was wrong in saying he didn't check the logs, my apologies.

[kayozz]

My latest interaction with him was nothing but positive, so I take back the above and appreciate his help in resolving the above matter patiently, calmly and with good grace. Cheers!

I had a rather negative ticket with them on Manuel round #227775. As a Spy, I had originally ahelped about an engineer who was chasing me and shooting at me with a mosin in space, to me it came off as validhunt as I had zero previous interaction with this engineer and it seemed to me that the only reason they were shooting at me was that I was wearing a syndi modsuit. In the ticket, Delaron assured me that the engineer was an "opposed to NT minded person" which I took to mean another antag, upon checking the logs it would appear that the engineer was never an antag so I am unsure what they meant by that unless I missed something in the logs that they saw. I don't really care too much about the engineer validsalding me, he got his cheeks clapped by me for doing so, but I need to bring it up since Delaron brought it up in the next ticket I had with them, the one I most take issue with.

Half an hour later the shift had progressed quite a bit, a space dragon had just reached full power and the shuttle was on its way! I had gotten a clown bomb as a spy bounty and thought I should probably use it before the round was over. I was about 90% sure that planting the clown bomb in escape would constitute mass station sabotage as outlined in the rules, but just to be safe I decided to ahelp and ask.

2024-04-25 01:46:41: Ticket Opened by bmon: hey do you it'd be fine if i clown bombed escape?
2024-04-25 01:47:24: Reply from delaron: I mean not particularly cool given you have no objective reason to.
2024-04-25 01:47:42: Reply from bmon: But mass sabotage!
2024-04-25 01:48:38: Reply from delaron: make sure some aliens still are able to leave. Remember other peoples fun also should be considered. (he's referring to my spy objective which was to make sure an alien escapes)
2024-04-25 01:49:48: Reply from bmon: the aliens are fake news, I checked
2024-04-25 01:50:32: Reply from delaron: so are departure clown bombs
2024-04-25 01:52:03: Reply from bmon: So I can plasma flood the station, space all of the hallways or delam the SM but a clown bomb that I earned as a spy is off limits?
2024-04-25 01:53:42: Reply from delaron: dude come on you are aware of the fine line. do what your going to do. If its over then get slapped. Remeber you are playing with literally 80 other people.
2024-04-25 01:56:06: Reply from bmon: Look, I am just trying to get someone elses opinion on it, I thought it'd be well in the line for mass sabotage as it's not even the worst thing I could do as an antag.
2024-04-25 01:57:57: Reply from delaron: you literally ahelped about a engie valid hunting you and here you are tearing up the station leaving a trail of bodies. Cant have it both ways. Bombing departures without objective cause is not causing mass sabotage but mass casuality. Again its a fine line, if no one complains then the conensus is that it was kosher. But im not givin you the green light.
2024-04-25 01:59:11: Reply from bmon: If I had done mass sabotage and that engineer went off to try to kill me that's one thing, but it's another to have an engi early on in my spy shift hunt me down with a mosion in space.

The round ended as I sent that last message. I disagree with Delaron's assessment here, I think it should have counted as mass sabotage to plant a clown bomb in a mostly empty departures lounge 8 minutes before the shuttle docks. It takes two minutes whole minutes for the clown bomb to detonate and is very obvious while counting down giving anyone ample time to peace out from the lounge and take a pod, and even after the bomb detonates all someone has to do to avoid the hostile clowns is not go into the departure lounge or run away. I also really don't like the fact that Delaron tried to paint me as "tearing up the station" and "leaving a trail of bodies", I had only killed two people that round, one of which was the aforementioned engineer who I thought valided me and another was a mime who shot me with a shotgun.

I get Delaron has only been back for one day but I don't believe this is the best way to go about a ticket even if Delaron disagreed with me that clown bombing EVAC was not mass sabotage.
